HILL, City Clerk of the City of Burlingame, do hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution was introduced at a regular meeting of the City Council held on the 1st day of March 1982 and was adopted thereafter by the following vote: AYES: COUNCILMEN: AMSTRUP, BARTON, CROSBY, MANGINI, MARTIN NOES: COUNCILMEN: NONE ABSENT: COUNCILMEN: NONE —r CITY CLERK -2- FYWTa TT n BURLINGAME REVISION TO ABAG HOUSING NEED DETERMINATION In general the City of Burlingame is satisfied with the methodology developed by the Association of Bay Area Governments for housing need determination. However, the city takes exception to the vacancy rate figure used which is derived from the Projections '79. We find no evidence in the city that our current vacancy rate approaches two percent (1.95%). Therefore, the city would proposer that ABAG use the State of California's Department of Finance vacancy rate figure of 1.44%. A comparison of Projections '79 on which the vacancy rate was based to available 1980 census figures indicates that the Projections '79 figures are some 3.3% high. The difference in the two vacancy rates is 25%. This discrepancy in vacancy rate distorts the "existing housing need" figure. Since the Department of Finance figure is consistent with the vacancy trend downward since 1970 in the city; is based on annually updated information; is a factor used at arriving at the base figure used for State financial allocations; is produced by known and reproducible methodology; is available for comparison for all jurisdictions in the State; and is widely used as an official number, the city would prefer its use.
