7.N. DISSOL VING THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING ADVISORY COMMITTEE <br />— REQUEST FOR PUBLIC HEARING <br />(CLERK'S NOTE: THIS ITEM WAS HEARD PRIOR TO 7.A. AND IS <br />PLACED HERE FOR CONTINUITY.) <br />Commissioner Ginn said she cannot support this request. She felt we <br />need to keep advisory committees and she was concerned about dissolving this <br />committee when the public is not involved. <br />Community Development Director Robert Keating explained that the <br />SHIP Program is currently performing more functions than that of the Affordable <br />Housing Committee and this was the only reason staff was advocating the <br />dissolution. <br />Commissioner Ginn felt that a partnership of lenders and real estate <br />people could not represent the public's interest and she would like to see a group <br />from the public in the advisory capacity. <br />County Attorney Collins clarified that previously the Board adopted a <br />Resolution to dissolve the Committee and this request is to delete the Ordinance <br />that makes reference to that Committee. <br />Commissioner Adams suggested that Commissioner Ginn visit with the <br />County Attorney to restructure a new committee. <br />County Attorney Collins suggested that Commissioner Ginn meet with <br />Planner Sasan Rohani who helped create the Ordinance. <br />NOVEMBER 18, 2003 12 <br />
