After submitting the FHAST to GLO <br />for approval, the city recently received a conditional approval subject to addition of three items. <br />The additional items are not necessarily required to be provided, but are items that the city may <br />consider providing in the future or work with other groups to provide. All other items in the <br />FHAST remain as prepared by the Fair Housing Committee for submittal. <br />The FHAST form is attached as well as the revision requested by the GLO. The FHAST form <br />must be submitted to GLO by December 9, 2011. <br />Action Required by Council: <br />Consider approval of the Fair Housing Activity Statement (FHAST) form and integrating the <br />three -item revision for submittal to General Land Office (GLO). <br />Approved for City Council Agenda <br />Steve Gillett, Interim City Manager Date <br />
