Sun Valley mayor urges action on employee housing, proposes extra Housing Committee meeting

Mayor Peter Hendricks said at the special Sun Valley council meeting July 11 that the city needs to step up attention to employee housing after an employee received a move-out notice and another applied for a home loan and was "on the threshold of qualifying." "We should look at our housing situation with greater intensity," Hendricks said, urging a follow-up Housing Committee meeting.

Council members did not adopt any directive or funding change at the meeting; the mayor's request was recorded as a proposal to hold an additional Housing Committee meeting to examine employee housing options and possible next steps. The discussion was brief and no formal motion or vote on housing policy or funding was recorded in the minutes.
