- 2026-10-27 - 2026-10-27 - Economic Development Committee Meeting: Peter Dunn said ARPA money that built up the Affordable Housing Trust Fund (over $18 million committed) is spent, so the fund now relies on payments in lieu and CPA funds; opposed the increase on project economics, suggested a cap or a for-sale exemption. Held 3-0; Morris A. Bergman asked for the report and more public outreach. An affordable housing advocate supported the increase as meaningful but not sufficient.
