Overview: In the spring of 2017, the Council asked the Town Manager to explore options for providing assistance to Town employees who would like to live in Chapel Hill.  The purpose of this report is to provide an overview of the process undertaken by staff to research this issue, describe the findings from the analysis conducted, and provide recommendations for the Council’s consideration. 

 

Recommendation(s):

That the Council receive the report and provide feedback.

 

Fiscal Impact/Resources: Staff is still evaluating the full fiscal and resource impact.  The impact would depend largely on the strategies pursued and number of employees who take advantage of the incentive options.
