VI. NEW BUSINESS  
Strategic Plan  
Stanton stated that there are three priories that needs to be focused on in 2025 which  
includes partnership agreement with the city, audits and identify our funding source. He  
asked AI the question of what is the most effective partnership agreement between a  
community land trust and a local government? The answer given he was given includes  
regulatory agreements, land acquisition agreements, financial support agreements, and  
admin agreements. Stanton wants to consolidated all of these agreements into one  
document and in one place. The CCLT already has regulatory agreements, which  
includes resale, binding covenants for affordability, and first right of purchase, along with  
land acquisition agreements and an administrative agreement. These documents can be  
found on the CCLT website and information can be found in the ground lease. Stanton  
stated that he does not want to have any grey area but there are some in the financial  
support agreements and in the administrative agreement. Stanton wants to see a change  
in the city support with finding them money. Amelunke gave an example on how funds  
were used with Garth Ave and how the CCLT is involved. When it comes to donations,  
city staff has to be careful which is why Hunt has been helping with the Chain of Houses  
Initiative. Stanton explained how the CCLT has collected donations in the past but the  
current donation policy can be found on the website. It was suggested to have on  
boarding training for when they get new board members so they know where everything is  
located. The board discussed having another audit done since the last one was  
completed in 2020. There has been an ongoing payroll issue with the city side that has to  
be handled before we can do the audit. Suggest contact Landon to see what we need in  
order to be ready for the audit. Discussed creating guidelines/policies & procedures to  
clear up those grey areas.  
Douglas Hunt showed up at 7:22pm  
Housekeeping  
Letters to homeowners that are affected by the mowing contract will be sent out, along

that he was able to get for the Chain of Houses Initiative. .
