Within 15 calendar days after the mayor submits the budget documents specified in Charter § 9-102.1 to the council, the mayor shall also submit a report on the affordable housing fund that shall include but not be limited to: (1) The calculation of the minimum amount required by the charter to be appropriated from the estimated real property tax revenues and deposited into the affordable housing fund and the amount to be deposited into the affordable housing fund as provided in the proposed budget for the ensuing fiscal year, which shall at least equal the minimum amount; (2) An explanation of the operating and capital program for the ensuing six fiscal years for the use of the affordable housing fund. The explanation may be in the form of a functional plan spanning at least the ensuing six fiscal years for the affordable housing fund, adopted by the council, and any annual updates thereto, also adopted by the council. If applicable, the explanation shall demonstrate that the operating and capital program complies with the appropriation priorities the council has established for the affordable housing fund. Identification of applicable information contained in the administration’s budget submittal may satisfy this requirement; (3) The amount included in the mayor’s proposed executive operating and capital budgets for the ensuing fiscal year from the affordable housing fund, separately identifying the amount to be appropriated for administrative expenses and demonstrating that the appropriation complies with the Charter’s maximum amount, and an explanation of how the budgeted amount complies with the Charter requirement that the amount does not substitute for but is in addition to the appropriations historically made for the purposes set forth in the Charter; and (4) A list of proposed amendments to the public infrastructure maps required by the proposed appropriations from the affordable housing fund.
