He stated the Agency has been looking to Bridge Housing, who developed Centertown, to be a partner, and has also been looking at trying to create an upgrade of the facilities. Mr. Ours stated they have looked at the very successful #1 "H" Street property, and have spoken with the developers of that project and asked if they might be interested in doing a partnership with Bridge Housing, noting the developers responded that they would be interested. Mr. Ours stated it was a very exciting concept to have the non-profit and for-profit developers creating affordable housing, and also creating housing that is a level that will allow market rate users to use it. Mr. Ours stated the Memorandum of Understanding being presented to the Agency is an understanding to go forward and to discuss the terms of the deal. Member Heller stated she is familiar with the work of the developer of #1 "H" Street, and noted the City and the developer were given an award from the Marin Conservation League for that project. She stated she has great confidence that this will be a superb project. Chairman Boro stated that not only has the City had good results with #1 "H" Street, which he felt is a prize project within the City, but also with Centertown, in which Bridge Housing had a big hand, along with the Ecumenical Association for Housing. He noted he felt it was a great partnership, between the profit and non-profit sectors, and stated he believed the City will continue to provide not only affordable housing, but in this case market rate housing in our Downtown, which is something the City is striving for, and will be an addition to the quality of life Downtown. Member Heller asked what the time frame would be for this project, and when we would begin to see the plans? Assistant Executive Director Ours responded that he believed the project would begin sometime next summer, noting he has told the developers he would like to see the project completed within two years.
