	11.			Receive Comments from Commissioners

					Received the following comments from Commissioners: Commissioner Lansburgh was interested in knowing what the current administration's intentions were in addressing housing, to which Lisa Baker explained that the president's budget includes a cut to HUD of 17%, which really impacts them. Congress is usually a friend to housing authorities, as housing is a public issue, not a partisan one. Lisa Baker explained what the flyer for the upcoming Yolo County Annual Fair Housing Conference was about in answer to Commissioner Sandeen's question. Legal Services of Northern California puts on this Fair Housing Conference and YCH is the principal funder for this conference, with support through the cities of Davis and Woodland through the Community Development Block Grant Program. This conference is specifically geared to educate private landlords throughout the jurisdiction so they can be up-to-date on housing laws.
