She explained the new townhouses built on the old Korean School <br />site were priced in the low $300,000. She did not believe this was affordable housing given <br />the businesses in New Brighton. She reported the jobs paying $16 to $19 per hour would not <br />allow for employees to pay for a $300,000 townhouse. She encouraged the City to have more <br />housing that reflected the jobs within the community. She then expressed frustration with the <br />lack of notice the City provided residents for the upcoming meeting about restructuring Old <br />Highway 8. <br /> <br />Approval of Agenda <br />Approval of the March 22, 2022 Council Agenda. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Abdulle, seconded by Councilmember Dunsworth to approve <br />the agenda as submitted. <br /> <br />4 Ayes, 0 Nays-Motion Carried <br /> <br />Special Order of Business <br /> <br />None. <br /> <br />Consent Agenda <br />1.
