CONCLUSION <br /> As required by current state statutes, local AHAC membership size must be between 8 and 11 <br /> committee members..The County's current AHAC membership is 17 members(16 voting and 1 non- <br /> voting). While the County's AHAC is larger than allowed by the state, actual AHAC meeting <br /> attendance by AHAC members has been less than 11 voting members for each of 4 separate AHAC <br /> meetings held this year. <br /> To be consistent with state statutes and consistent with actual AHAC meeting attendance, the <br /> County should revise County Code Chapter 308 and adopt an updated AHAC Resolution to reduce <br /> its AHAC's size to no more than 11 voting members(plus 1 non-voting commissioner liaison),with <br /> at least 6 members selected from the 11 different categories listed in state statutes.These actions will <br /> allow the AHAC to more easily achieve a quorum and will bring the County's AHAC size into <br /> compliance with state requirements.With respect to the existing AHAC,the County can achieve the <br /> AHAC size reduction from the AHAC membership list and meet state requirements by selecting <br /> from its existing members that have the best attendance records. <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners: <br /> 1. Authorize staff to proceed with preparing an amendment to Chapter 308 of the Indian River <br /> County Code of Ordinances to make Affordable Housing Advisory Committee membership <br /> requirements consistent with amended Florida Statutes; and <br /> 2. Authorize staff to proceed with advertising for a public hearing for the amendment; and <br /> 3. Authorize staff to proceed with preparing an updated resolution for BCC consideration to <br /> adjust Affordable Housing Advisory Committee Membership requirements to be consistent <br /> with state statute; and <br /> 4. Approve the proposed membership make-up of the updated AHAC to consist of one non- <br /> voting BCC liaison and 11 voting members as detailed in this memo. <br /> ATTACHMENTS <br /> 1.
