Exhibit A the needs of low- and moderate-income households, meeting regional share of goals; mitigate any governmental constraints to housing production, improvement and/or maintenance; and ensure consistency with other General Plan elements and community goals. The Housing Plan will also include an implementation program that identifies monitoring procedures and milestones for assessment purposes. 2.5-Administrative Draft Housing Element The Administrative Draft Housing Element will include updates to the Introduction and will fold 21 Elements team sections into the document. The Administrative Draft Housing Element will be submitted to the City electronically for staff review. The City will be responsible for collecting all staff comments and creating a single "comment document" from which consultant will revise the Administrative Draft Housing Element and complete the Draft Housing Element for Public Review. This scope and budget assume one round of comments and revisions. Task 3 - Community Engagement 3.1-Draft Housing Element Workshop/Study Session State Housing Element law requires that meaningful public outreach be included as part of the update process. Based on consultant's prior housing element work experience, and given that the Housing Element was so recently updated (2010), it has been consultant's experience that these meetings are most effective when the public can respond and react to concrete proposals. Consultant anticipates that a successful way to solicit input on housing issues will be to include the Housing Element as an informational item at a joint Housing and Human Concerns Committee and Planning Commission meeting, combined with a public forum open to the community. Consultant recommends that the workshop/study session be conducted once the Draft Housing Element is complete. The public and Commissioners will be asked to review and provide feedback on the information provided. City staff will be responsible for identifying stakeholders and interested parties to invite to the meeting, and will distribute a public notice regarding the workshop to such groups. According to the MOU with 21 Elements team, a representative of their team will prepare materials for and attend a community meeting. Consultant can work with the 21 Elements consultant to best maximize their resources while ensuring that the workshop addresses Redwood City's needs. Consultant will prepare a PowerPoint presentation for the workshop that covers an overview of the Draft Housing Element, including State requirements, constraints, and programs designed to meet the RHNA, as well as proposed housing goals and policies. Consultant will submit the documents electronically to City staff for review, reproduction, and/or distribution. We will organize and lead the community workshop, to be augmented by 21 Elements staff as available. Based on input from community leaders and residents, consultant will revise and prepare a draft of the Housing Element to transmit to HCD.
