Accumulated Interest. Commissioner Wolfe recused herself from the discussion of Item 2 as she is a member of Resources for Community Development’s Board of Directors. Three residents of the William Byron Rumford Sr. Plaza development addressed the Commission. Following a presentation by City staff, several questions from the commissioners were answered by staff. The HAC was requested to approve a recommendation to City Council which includes the following: 1) to approve the additional funding, 2) to forgive the accrued interest on the two existing City loans, and 3) to approve the refinancing of the original principal balances of the three existing City loans with Housing Trust Fund (HTF) loan. A motion was made to support $740,000 in additional funds, but to open the HTF for a new pipeline of projects before funding anything else. Motion failed: (M/S/C: Casalaina/Magofna: Ayes: Casalaina and Magofna. Noes: Chang, Darrow, Droste, Drake, Skjerping, and Tregub.)

Suggestions were accepted from the commissioners to substitute “Overall Downtown Parking Strategy” for “Downtown Plan” and under the topic of “Other options to Relocate Services” to add “the concern for potential for earthquake and existing impediments to accessing supportive services at existing (Veterans’ Building) site.” A motion to approve the summary report with additions and changes passed: (M/S/C: Cassalaina/Skjerping. Ayes: Chang, Darrow, Drake, Droste, Magofna, Skjerping, Tregub, and Wolfe. Noes: None. Abstentions: None. Absent: None).
4. Developing a List of Names for Recommendation to Council to Increase Diversity on the Housing Advisory Commission Commissioner Drake suggested adding the Pacific Center, Asian Health Services, and student services, to the list of names distributed. Commissioners can email suggestions to staff so staff can forward back to HAC for consideration.
5. Council Referral Regarding an Analysis Under Elections Code Section 9212: Greentown and Public Commons Initiative Item removed from agenda.
6. Community Agency Request for Proposal Process Update
Staff reported that the CDBG subcommittee can choose to make site visits to agencies receiving City funds that are reviewed by the HAC. Commissioners Droste, Skjerping, and Magofna will serve on the CDBG subcommittee. Staff also reported that a series of meetings will be held to discuss and analyze the delivery of local homeless services, and also reported a review and evaluation of youth services and outcomes will be conducted by consultants. The results of these processes may have implications for the next RFP for funding that will be released in November or December.

Motion The HAC recommends Council request the Rent Stabilization Board to supply them with the following information.
The RSB shall determine from the data they have on current rent controlled units:
1) The vacancy rate for rent controlled housing in Berkeley as of November 1, 2014. 2) A table showing the number of tenants who have been in their units for 7-8 years, 9-11 years, 12-14 years and 15+ years. 3) A three dimensional table showing the number of years long term tenants (7 to 14 years of tenancy) and very long term tenants (15 years or more of tenancy) have been in their units, the size of the units they are living in and the current average rent for comparable units given number of years in unit and size of the unit.
The RSB shall determine by a statistically valid anonymous survey the breakdown of the income of long term and very long term tenants broken down by years of occupancy and size of unit.
The reason for requesting this information is to see if long term tenants who receive the greatest benefit from controlled rents can help support the creation of permanent affordable housing in Berkeley, the number one concern of voters in Berkeley.
