Mr. Herman, Community Development Director, advised that the proposal is for the

price is approximately $1.9 million. The Desert Sands Unified School District has
approached the City relative to acquisition of a portion 30 acres) of this property
adjacent to the INCO subdivision. The remaining 20 acres would then be available for
a housing project. One way of obtaining community support for this project is through
a series of community meetings to solicit community involvement and input in the City's
planning efforts. The goal is to have a dialogue with the neighborhood as it relates to
the School District facility as well as the Agency's affordable housing project. Following
these meetings, staff will return to the Board with a report and begin the RFP process
to solicit developers capable of achieving our affordable housing product.
Mr. Herman noted that a modified agreement has been submitted to the Board and
