TO: James E. Chandler County Administrator DIV ION HEAD CONCURRENCE: Robert M. Keating AIC Community Development Virector FROM: Christopher D. Rison OJO(L Senior Planner, Long -Range Planning DATE: May 11, 1993 SUBJECT: Indian River County Affordable Housing Advisory Committee Membership Appointments It is requested that the data herein presented be' given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of May 18, 1993. DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITIONS: On April 6, 1993, the Board of County Commissioners adopted Ordinance No. 93-13, which established the Indian River County Local Housing Assistance Program and created the Indian River County Affordable Housing Advisory Committee. At that time, the Board also approved the Indian River County Local Housing Assistance Plan which was subsequently transmitted to the Florida Housing Finance Agency for compliance review. This Plan must be approved by the Florida Housing Finance Agency in order for the County to obtain state funds under the State Housing Initiatives Partnership Program. Recently, the County received notice that the- Florida Housing Finance Agency had completed its .review of the County's Plan. While the Plan was found adequate, subject to several minor changes being made, Florida Housing Finance Agency guidelines require that members of the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee be appointed before a Local Housing Assistance Plan may be approved. Therefore, the Board must now make appointments to the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee in order for the County's Plan to be approved. ANALYSIS: Section VI of Ordinance No. 93-13 (codified as Section 308.07 of the Indian River County Code), in compliance with Section 420.9076, Florida Statutes, outlines the requirements of the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee's structure and duties. This section further requires that the members of the Committee be appointed by resolution of the Board of County Commissioners. In response to the mandated requirements, staff has prepared an appointing resolution (Attachment "A") which identifies proposed members of the Committee. As structured, the proposed committee membership includes several previous members bf thb County's Affordable Housing Advisory Committee. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the resolution appointing the members of the Indian River County Affordable Housing Advisory Committee. 46 MAY 18 1993 BOOK 89 FAcr 587
