The resolution, sponsored by Councilor Rosemary Sandlin and Mayor Christopher C. Johnson, would create a fund for creating and preserving affordable housing, overseen by a mayor-appointed board. Councilor Cecilia P. Calabrese said she was not ready to vote in favor, citing a movement to remove local control from zoning.
