He stated that WEMBER used a point-scoring system and created a scoring matrix. The hiring committee and WEMBER recommend the contracts be awarded to Land and Shelter as the Design Team and AD Miller as the construction firm  to design and build the Carbondale Aquatics Facility.  Mayor Bohmfalk asked why these two are being hired at the same time.  Dave Detweiler, WEMBER owner's representative, explained that the traditional method of designing, then hiring a construction company to build a facility of this nature would take too long and increase costs unnecessarily. With the Design and construction teams working together in unison, the time frame will be shorter and create fewer change The mayor then asked how the bids were ranked. Eric explained that WEMBER created in-depth criteria and a scoring matrix. They also asked to interview the potential contact people in each company.

The bill is intended to help resolve the state's housing affordability crisis by incentivizing additional housing options and easing zoning restrictions statewide. In theory, the housing crisis is due in part to not enough housing being built or available, thus driving up costs during expansive population and job growth. She explained that the bill does not mention actually making any oft the new housing units built under this    Trustee Meeting Minutes April 11, 2023 market.  Page 5  bill affordable. The bill also does not consider Carbondale as part of the resort town Jared explained that Carbondale is doing most of what would be required under the bill. However, there are miscellaneous regulations that would affect the town. Mark Hamilton advised that when or whether to remove home rule control needs to be a The mayor wanted to start the discussion by clarifying some of the regulations proposed Trustee Silverstein asked if there was a requirement for new ADUS to be owner- The mayor answered that municipalities cannot be more restricting than the state. Lauren also commented that the bill would not address off-street parking and potential Trustee Hassig asked if the Carbondale Historic District Zoning would be affected. Jared responded saying that the current district doesn't qualify as a state historic The mayor then asked if anyone on the board was ready to take a stand on the issue. Trustee Hassig stated that he was not ready to oppose, but would like to see certain Trustee Silverstein opposes the bill based on two grounds: 1. It has been rushed and 2. Itis completely anti-Home Rule. He questions a philosophy that takes away the rights of Trustee Laird stated that he was sO disappointed. He said this is not thoughtful, and iti is counterproductive. He believes that this is not the way to get more housing. There needs to be a real estate transfer tax, which then applies those funds to affordable housing construction. He firmly stated that the fundamental issue is not zoning, it's Trustee Sparhawk stated that she does agree with CAST's memo and is opposed to the Trustee Kitching also agrees with the CAST memo.

Trustee Meeting Minutes April 11, 2023  Page 6  Trustee Laird stated that there needs to be a funding source to build actual affordable units. Trustee Silverstein asked where the money would come from. Whether it is taxing real estate sales, ski ticket sales, etc., the state should not be mandating this. Trustee Sparhawk stated that maybe we don't want the state to control it, but the town The mayor concluded that he and Trustee Laird will draft a letter to Perry Will and  can still take these steps.
