Entered into a contract with a consultant to prepare the new Housing Element. They expect to concurrently update the Safety Element and draft a new Environmental Justice Element. This additional effort will be going to the City Council for approval on July 27. They have not developed a public schedule just yet, but we hope to have all efforts completed well ahead of the 2023 deadline. There will be ample opportunities for public participation as we move further into the process.
