Advisory Comment: It is unclear if the statement on page 95 is meant to serve as a local fair housing policy. To clarify, a local fair housing policy does not mean that the City's should or can manage or administer Fair Housing complaints. A local fair housing policy rather ensures the City is aware of Fair Housing requirements with regard to housing decisions and provides sufficient resources to educate and refer residents who feel their Fair Housing rights have been violated. This can be as simple as having links to resources on the city'swebsite. City Response: Noted. The text in this chapter was updated to strengthen the language that references our adopted policy. We have added an appendix to the Comprehensive Plan document outlining the City's Livable Communities Action Plan. Advisory Comment: The Council will require a local fair housing policy as a requirement to draw upon Livable Communities Act awards beginning in 2019.

City Response: The text was updated to strengthen the language that references our adopted policy. We have added an appendix to the Comprehensive Plan document outlining the City's Livable Communities Action Plan and included additional tools within the Implementation Plan Advisory Comment: The Council strongly encourages the Plan to address the extremely important need to protect and support its manufactured home community. Rehabilitation resources, conversion to a co- operative (if not one already), local notice -of -sale, or first -look provisions could be considered. City Response: See previous response. Advisory Comment: The Council strongly encourages the City to consider a mixed -income housing policy. Mixed income policies have been adopted by Golden Valley, Brooklyn Park, Edina, and others. Acknowledging this tool and committing to explore it could address many of the City's housing goals and is highly recommended. City Response: A Mixed -Income Housing Policy was added to the Housing Plan Implementation Strategies found within the Implementation Plan. Comments provided on Transportation (Russ Owen, 651-602-1739) The Plan is incomplete for Transportation. To be complete the Plan will need to address the following items.
