City <br />Administrator Ericson stated this information was not disclosed to the City. <br /> <br />Mr. Oquist questioned how many of the proposed units were set as homeless priority housing. <br />He asked how many of the proposed units were for low income (30% to 50% of the median <br />income) housing. He requested the City have access to the renter policy for the Boulevard <br />apartment complex. He inquired if the residents were required to work or be employed in order <br />to live within the workforce housing. <br /> <br />Chris Stokka, MWF Properties, reported he submitted an application to MHFA and noted this <br />document was approximately 1400 pages.
