Those challenges may be reduced through action by the BCC and its municipalities on the list <br />of recommendations from the AHAC. Some of the actions can be implemented more quickly than <br />others and some will take some time to analyze and if appropriate for the County to implement. <br />FUNDING <br />Funding in the amount of $10,000 for the purchase of the former Gifford Gardens property (AHAC <br />recommendation number 8) will be provided via budget amendment from General Fund — Cash <br />Forward October 1" Account Number 00119981-099910. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) review and consider the list of <br />Affordable Housing Advisory Committee Recommendations, discuss any proposed changes the BCC <br />would like, and approve the list for implementation (as may be modified by the BCC).
