Sansevere stated he was in favor of Dahlstrom creating units <br />available at $199,000.00, but not at the City ’s expense. <br />White stated that the senior housing that was recently built was subsidized to help make it <br />a/fordable, and that the City was now deciding not to subsidize housing for other <br />populations of residents. <br />Sansevere stated he wanted to see affordable family housing, and the current development <br />doesn ’t expect any families in the units. <br />Prover stated that the Dahlstrom development was the one under discussion, and <br />regardless of what projects could come up in the future and which populations they would <br />serve, he wanted to see affordable housing in the current development. <br />Murphy stated that the value of the current discussion was to get the City thinking about <br />affordable housing. He suggested that if the Council was going to require an affordable <br />housing effort, they should insist that Dahlstrom convert one of the townhouse sections, or <br />all of the condos, into all affordable housing. Council agreed. <br />Mayor Peterson Indicated it was the consensus of the Council to direct Moorse to <br />request that Dahlstrom pursue the option of converting all of the condos, or an entire <br />section of townhomes, into affordable housing units. <br />Fire Station Update <br />Moorse stated that he had received a call from the Mound Fire Chief regarding applicants <br />to their fire department.
