C4 Retreat Working Agenda 

Staff walked through the draft agenda, requested feedback. Mayor Fitzgerald shared that it could be challenging to have multiple topics on the housing day, would like to prioritize housing and industrial land readiness. Mr. Gornick asked about common language with housing and zoning goals. Councilor Sherman noting the housing numbers are not matching up between state and regional reports, and can someone present information that is consistent. Mayor Hodson asked what are the commonalities we can take work on together. Councilor Pratt asked if there will be enough time to cover what needs to be covered. 

Staff shared a draft survey that will be made available to retreat registrants. 

Recent Funding History 

Trent Wilson shared a presentation that walked though, at a high level, the trends of recent state and federal funding programs aimed at industrial and housing investments. Noting this trend in funding will continue for housing production, and posing the question of whether or how C4 wants to coordinate on these topics. 

Mayor Fitzgerald recommended programs similar to ARPA be supported, noting the direct allocation to jurisdictions. We were not heard during the last legislature. Mayor Milch noted a preference to see more jobs per acre.
