  Hi Ben,

   

  I am unable to access any files contained within the drive link you’ve shared. It doesn’t seem there are files contained therein.

  Hello Sunshine,

   

  Here are the final pieces of this request.

   

  Number 3 can be found here.

   

  #4, Key strategies for using Bond funds for the development of affordable housing:
  1. Re-developing city-owned property in locationally efficient corridors and areas
  2. Increasing the existing Housing Trust Fund to support more development projects with both non-profit and private developers
  3. Supporting the development of a Community Land Trust to encourage permanently affordable homeownership opportunities
  4. Land-banking to secure suitable properties for future affordable housing development

   

  Thanks,

  Hello Sunshine,

   

  There are a couple of things to address in this request so I’ll take it point by point.

   

  1. Current staff for this division are available at the bottom of this page: http://www.ashevillenc.gov/departments/community/community_development/default.htm. Salaries for those employees can be found here: http://data.ashevillenc.gov/datasets/42bc533b43f94a65a04032fe84fa380b_10

   

  2. Paid Leave days are part of the employee’s personnel file and are not public record according to G.S. 160A-168(a)

   

  We will likely be able to provide 3 and 4 as long as they exist.

   

  Additionally we have also received the skateboarding enforcement request.

   

  Thanks,
  —
