Citizens Housing Commission Agenda Item
Meeting Date: 01/9/2020
Policy Framework
Staff Lead: SHope
Department: Citizens Housing Commission
Prepared By: Debbie Rothfus
Background/History
The Edmonds Citizens' Housing Commission was established by the City Council to recommend diverse
housing policy options "to expand the range of housing (including rental and owned) available in
Edmonds --irrespective of age, gender, race, religious affiliation, physical disability, or sexual
orientation."
Staff Recommendation
Approve the Policy Framework to guide the next stage of work on policy development
Narrative
The Commission's list of subjects for January 2020 includes a "policy framework". A policy framework is
an overarching structure to guide the development of more detailed policies.
A draft policy framework has been prepared for the Commission to consider at the January 9 meeting.
(See attachment.) NOTE: The framework It is not the same as the actual set of policies that the Housing
Commission will recommend to the City Council but establishes the Commission's general direction for
the purpose and scope of the policies that will be developed in the near future. (Note: Since the
Commission has previously adopted general ground rules and decision -making protocols, the policy
framework is not repeating them.)
The draft policy framework includes the following elements:
Purpose
Goals
Applicability
Broad Topic Categories
Public Input
Steps to Developing Policies
Committees
Next Steps.
To help visualize the steps for developing policies, a graphic (attached) was created.
OPTION: The Policy Framework could be approved without the "Broad Topic Categories" section if the
commission prefers.
Packet Pg. 6
6.B.1
The draft Policy Framework may also be modified now or later by Commission agreement. Having a
Policy Framework in place is intended to help the Housing Commission begin its work in February on
specific housing policy recommendations.

Public Input on Policy Development
Community engagement on policy development will be actively sought in
multiple ways throughout the process.
One or more public events for input on draft policies will be held prior to the
Commission's finalization of policies to recommend to the City Council.
For policies recommended by the Housing Commission, the City Council will
seek additional public input before deciding on any action.
Steps to Developing Policies Y
0
The Commission's development of individual policies will generally follow seven I
steps (listed below). Sometimes, two or more of these steps may be taken within a 2
single meeting or include the time between meetings. [Note: Steps 3 and 5 are U-
especially suitable for input by committees of the Commission.] At any meeting, the 2
Commission may consider multiple policies. a
1. Commission selection and prioritization of proposed policy topics that are
the same as or fit within one of the broad categories contained in the Policy
Framework
2. Development of each specific policy proposal (in either detailed or
conceptual language) to address the selected topic, consistent with the
Framework goals
3. Presentation of specific policy proposals for further consideration
4. Agreement by Commission majority on each policy proposal that is to be
considered further as a draft policy
5. Commission's further consideration of draft policies, including public input
and any additional information
6. Acceptance, elimination, or refinement (based on Commission majority vote)
of each draft policy
7. Approval by Commission majority on final policies to recommend to the City
Council
For a visual representation of these steps, see attachment.
Policy Committees
The Housing Commission may authorize committees of its members to develop and
propose specific policies for Commission consideration.
Packet Pg. 10
6.B.1.a
• Each appointed committee may work outside of a regular public meeting but
must report back to the full Commission on activities and proposals.
• Each committee may work on the policies or policy topics that have been
assigned to it —and shall not work on any policies or topics that have not
been assigned to it.
• Each committee shall involve Commission members who have volunteered
and been appointed to that committee and shall not involve other
Commission members (except as part of the Commission's public meeting).
• Generally, each committee should be comprised of no more than three or
four Commission members, recognizing that it is difficult to arrange
discussion and schedule meetings for more members than that.
• Committees should be comprised of members from different districts. No
committee shall include more than one alternate Commission member.
• Each committee must have one lead member, who is a regular Commission Y
member (not an alternate) and who will coordinate any committee meetings °
and report back (or ask another committee member to report back) on the
committee's activities and policy proposals to the full Commission. 2
• Committees have the option of asking for staff or consultant assistance. _

Housing Types
Staff Lead: SHope
Department: Citizens Housing Commission
Prepared By: Debbie Rothfus
Background/History
The Housing Commission's work to expand the range of housing (including rental and owned) in
Edmonds may include considering options for additional housing types.
Staff Recommendation
Consider the information and discuss as needed
Narrative
For some people, living in a single-family house on a medium or large -sized lot is a good housing choice.
But not everyone wants or can have that. Apartments or condos and other types of housing (for
example, accessory dwellings, cottage clusters, and townhomes) may be a good choice for other people.
Attached is a diagram showing a range of housing types, with a focus on what is often called "the
missing middle". The missing middle refers to housing types that used to be more common but in the
last 50 years have been become more difficult or even illegal to build in many communities.
The January 9 presentation will include more information on housing types.

Community Engagement Plan
Staff Lead: Shane Hope
Department: Citizens Housing Commission
Prepared By: Debbie Rothfus
Background/History
The Housing Commission discussed community engagement goals at its October 10, 2019 meeting.
Based on the goals, a draft community engagement plan was prepared for the Commission's
consideration on November 14. At the November 14 meeting, the Commission discussed the draft and
agreed on several revisions, so that the revised plan could be considered for action at the December 12
meeting.
On December 12, the Commission approved the revised plan, with one additional change: to re -name
the section initially called "Stakeholder Checklist" to the new name of "Community Engagement
Checklist", with a brief explanation of its intent. The new name would better reflect the section's
purpose -which is to have a list of organizations that can help get information to their members about
the Housing Commission's work and the opportunities to participate. In addition, Commissioners were
invited to make suggestions to the City's Development Services Director about any additions or
deletions to the list.
Staff Recommendation
Approve the revised section, Community Engagement Checklist"
Narrative
The draft Community Engagement Plan, which was discussed by the Housing Commission on December
12, 2019, includes sections on:
Background
Potential Outreach Activities
Community Engagement Checklist
Language Needs
Activities Log
Timeline
As part of the discussion, the Commission agreed on having one change made to the plan; that was to
remove the former name of "Stakeholder Checklist" and replace it with "Community Engagement
Checklist". The purpose of the Community Engagement Checklist is to identify groups that could be
contacted to let their members know about the Housing Commission's work and opportunities to be
engaged. Commissioners were invited to email City staff with any additions or deletions to the list of
organizations for outreach.
Packet Pg. 17
8.A.1
Subsequently, staff received no specific suggestions for additions or deletions to the list of
organizations. However, one Commissioner sent a more general comment that the outreach list goes
too far and should be reviewed to identify whether any of the organizations have less than 50% of their
members as Edmonds residents and, if so, to remove them from the list. Staff has not taken this action,
especially since most other Commission discussion has been about being inclusive in helping people
know about the Housing Commission's work.

DRAFT COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PLAN
Edmonds Citizen's Housing Commission
BACKGROUND Appendix A: Project Area Map & Locations
Appendix B: Context & Proiect History
Commission
The Citizens' Housing Commission's (Commission) mission is to, "develop, for City Council consideration, diverse housing
policy options designed to expand the range of housing (including rental and owned) available in Edmonds —
irrespective of age, gender, race, religious affiliation, physical disability, or sexual orientation."
c
c�
The Commission is made up of 15 Commissioners and 8 alternates. In order to ensure that membership would come
from across the City, an open application process was offered for residents to apply for positions in the zone or "district"
in which they lived. The process designated seven such districts to cover the city. The districts are based on U.S. Census
a)
areas and have roughly equal populations. A map of them can be found in Appendix A. Each City Council person
appointed two members and one alternate from an assigned district. The Mayor appointed one member and one
w
alternate at -large.
The Commission commenced in September 2019 and will meet monthly through December 2020. The process includes a
E
series of meetings for members to orient themselves to housing -related issues and policies, then select and prioritize
policy subjects, create draft policy recommendations, and make final policy recommendations. The Commission's
0
recommendations are to be completed by the end of 2020 for City Council consideration.

Community Engagement V
Many Edmonds residents have expressed a strong desire for active and transparent public participation in the
U
development of housing -related policies. The City will engage members of the public at key project milestones to learn
)
about their priorities and preferences, gather their input on draft Commission recommendations, and to share
c
information about the project as it evolves. This will be done using a series of outreach tools, including but not limited to:
E
online surveys, in -person events, and direct outreach to key stakeholder groups.
-0
w
The Community Engagement Plan is a living document intended to guide the project team through the engagement
E
process. It includes key messages and outreach objectives, a list of stakeholders and community groups, demographic
t
data, major project milestones, and planned outreach activities. The Community Engagement Plan provides an overview
of the community engagement process but does not demonstrate the full extent of each engagement activity. This a
document is subject to change and the project team will adaptively manage engagement activities as needed.

Citizens Housing Commission Agenda Item
Meeting Date: 01/9/2020
Community Survey
Staff Lead: Shane Hope
Department: Citizens Housing Commission
Prepared By: Debbie Rothfus
Background/History
Having surveys to engage a broad spectrum of the community in housing issues has been on the
Commission's list of community engagement activities.
Staff Recommendation
Vote to either approve (1) the draft survey as REVISED per the December 12 meeting or (2) the draft
survey that will be presented by the survey committee.
Narrative
At the last Housing Commission meeting, the draft Community Survey #1 was discussed. The attached
survey is the one reviewed by the Commission and updated to reflect the changes that were approved
by the Commission at the December 12 meeting.
The survey was intended to go out in December and be the first survey related to the Housing
Commission's work. Some Commission members seemed reasonably comfortable with the draft. We
also heard some members express interest in minor changes. Still others may have had different ideas.
After a lengthy discussion of survey options, one Commission member proposed forming a committee to
refine the survey and bring it back to the Commission's January meeting, where it should take only five
minutes to review. The survey could then go out in January.
Six volunteers offered that night to serve on the committee. The committee members (in alphabetical
order) were:
Alena Nelson-Vietmeier
Jess Blanch
Jim Ogonowski
John Reed
Leif Warren
Mike McMurray.
The community engagement specialist working on this project (Kate Graham) also offered to join the
committee's meeting if her schedule allowed.
As of January 3, when the agenda materials for the Commission's January 9 meeting were being
finalized, the survey committee had not had a chance to meet. However, staff understands that the
Packet Pg. 32
8.B.1
committee plans to meet within the next couple days and will present their recommendation to the full
Commission at the January 9 meeting. If a draft is ready before then, it will be sent to the full
Commission for consideration at the January meeting.
Based on the Commission member remarks at the December 12 meeting, the new presentation will be
brief and a vote can be taken to use either the previous draft (as revised from the December 12
meeting) or the new revised draft that the Survey Committee offers.

Public Open House
