Attorney

Confirm affordable housing appropriation legal status

Why now: On June 10, 2026, City Council recorded Item 51 as received during the meeting with no final disposition printed.

What to do: Obtain the final ordinance version and June 10 City Council minutes before advising on any obligations tied to the affordable-housing appropriation. The available record says the item was received but does not print a final disposition, so its operative status remains unresolved.

Act before: After the next material record update

Request affordable housing fund allocation schedules

Why now: The June 10, 2026 item lists 28 reinvestment zones and several payment categories, while the meeting record provides no final disposition or allocation breakdown.

What to do: Request the ordinance exhibits and payment schedules that break out allocations by reinvestment zone and payment category. Without them, the public cannot determine how funds are divided among affordable housing, administration, school district payments, project costs, and redevelopment authorities.

Act before: After the requested records are produced
