Oregon <strong>Housing</strong> <strong>Stability</strong> <strong>Council</strong> Minutes<br />

LIHTC NOFA – Metro Region<br />

Ms. Detweiler told the <strong>Council</strong> that this region encompasses Washington, Multnomah and<br />

Clackamas counties. Eight applications were submitted and four are being recommended for<br />

funding.<br />

Cornelius Place:<br />

Ms. Detweiler briefed the <strong>Council</strong> on the specifics of this project. She invited the project sponsor<br />

to join her at the table to address the <strong>Council</strong>. Destin Ferdun from Bridge <strong>Housing</strong> joined Ms.<br />

Detweiler to address the <strong>Council</strong>. Mr. Ferdun told the <strong>Council</strong> that he is excited about this<br />

project and the partnerships that were created. There is also high community excitement about<br />

this project.<br />

For the Record: Acting Chair Valfre will recuse himself from the discussion and he will abstain<br />

from the vote.<br />

<strong>Council</strong>member Dickson said he was excited to see this project make it for recommendation. He<br />

also said he was happy to see that Bridge <strong>Housing</strong> joined the project to help it move forward.<br />

<strong>Council</strong>member Fieldman asked for more clarification on the land lease deal that is part of this<br />

project. Bridge <strong>Housing</strong> said that the lease is for 99 years and it is for $1. <strong>Council</strong>member<br />

Fieldman noted that the per-unit costs seem high and he asked Bridge <strong>Housing</strong> to provide more<br />

context to explain the per-unit costs. Bridge <strong>Housing</strong> told the <strong>Council</strong> that there are several<br />

factors contributing to the high per-unit cost. Those factors include but are not limited to the<br />

following: the mixed use project, green building requirements, the current economic climate<br />

(supply costs are continuing to go up). <strong>Council</strong>member Geller expressed her pleasure with the<br />

City of Cornelius and their involvement in this project. She believes this is a model other cities<br />

can mirror. The outcome of this project will be more than the sum of its parts. She is thrilled with<br />

the project.<br />

Acting Chair Valfre called for a motion from the <strong>Council</strong>. <strong>Council</strong>member Geller made the<br />

motion found on page 30 of the meeting material packet and <strong>Council</strong>member Fieldman seconded<br />
