and the Florida Administrative Code (FAC) citation changed from Chapter 9I-37 FAC to <br />Chapter 67-37 FAC. As a result, references in Chapter 308 to the Florida Housing Finance <br />Agency and the old Florida Administrative Code citation are outdated. Consequently, those <br />references are being updated. <br />Second, there are many sections of the state's housing program requirements that were repeated <br />verbatim in Chapter 308. Because of that structure, Chapter 308 wording of state requirements <br />becomes out of date whenever the state changes its requirements. To avoid that problem, certain <br />sections of Chapter 308 are being modified to merely refer to state housing statutes rather than <br />recite state requirements. Code sections containing a verbatim recitation of state requirements <br />are portions of sections 308.04, 308.05, 308.06, 308.07, and all of section 308.08 of Chapter 308. <br />In the appropriate amended sections, the proper reference to Florida Statutes and the <br />Administrative Code are provided. <br />Third, several sections of Chapter 308 need to be updated. Those revisions are minor in nature <br />and are proposed throughout Chapter 308. Proposed updates include codifying the current <br />Affordable Housing Advisory Committee's composition and responsibilities and updating NSP <br />requirements. <br />In summary, the proposed changes are needed to make sure that Chapter 308 contains up-to-date <br />state references, deletes recitations of out-of-date state requirements, adds appropriate references <br />to state requirements, and updates various sections to reflect current policies, practices, and <br />program requirements. All changes have been approved by the County Attorney, and none of <br />the changes are substantive. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners amend Chapter 308, by adopting the <br />attached ordinance. <br />ATTACHMENT <br />1) Minutes of the March 11, 2014, Board Meeting <br />2) Proposed Ordinance Amending Chapter 308 <br />Approved Agenda Item: <br />Indian River Co <br />Approved <br />Date <br />Admin <br />4i+ <br />,,i <br />Legal <br />V� v <br />Budget <br />t, <br />4Ji <br />Department <br />- , <br />Y y 1W <br />Risk Manager <br />Purchasing <br />F:\Community Development\SHIP\Chapter 308\BCC amending ch. 308-4-15-2014.docx <br />2 <br />117 <br />
