Embracing new technologies and delivery systems will have a significant impact on the <br /> construction industry, particularly the residential sector. Increasing housing delivery methods <br /> reduces project durations and provides City of Pleasanton residents housing sooner. Local 713 is <br /> at the forefront of ensuring that new construction technologies deliver those benefits while also <br /> creating work opportunities for those already in the trades as well as those looking to begin a <br /> construction career. <br /> Local 713 is in a unique position to address many of the key ideas outline in the City of Pleasanton <br /> Housing Element Update. By investing in the training and utilization of apprentices, performing <br /> outreach to ensure that the workforce closely mirrors the demographics of our local community, <br /> providing employer-paid healthcare for our members and their families, and promoting <br /> innovation in the residential construction sector, Local 713 is prepared to assist in closing the <br /> affordability gap in the City of Pleasanton and the Bay Area. We look forward to engaging City <br /> staff and elected leaders as the Housing Element moves forward and working cooperatively to <br /> bridge the needs of the City with the skills and tools of Local 713. <br /> Thank you for your time and consideration of these comments. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Daniel Gregg <br /> Senior Field Representative <br /> Carpenters Local 713 <br /> CC: City Clerk: PleasantonCityClerk@cityofpleasantonca.gov <br /> DG:ig <br /> Opeuk29 <br /> Afl-cio <br /> 4 <br />
