Discussion regarding Agenda for the February 9, 2009 Joint City Council-District <br />Board Meeting <br />City Manager Steve Hollister suggested that the agenda include a discussion on growth <br />projections and that both the City's housing consultant and the Housing Manager would be in <br />attendance; he requested that the District's demographer be in attendance.

There was general discussion regarding use of federal funds <br />and the different types of funding allocations available; the importance of the 9th Grade Academy <br />and other important joint use projects, and the housing requirements imposed on the City.
