GGOOK I � �,-! Pr1,l--r:3,I— <br />P,,, <br />ALTERNATIVES <br />The Board of County Commissioners has two alternatives regarding the proposed SHIP fund set <br />aside and the draft RFP. These alternatives are: <br />Not to set aside SHIP funds and not to advertise the RFP <br />To set aside SHIP funds and to advertise the RFP <br />Based on the analysis, staff supports the second alternative. <br />DEVELOPER SELECTION CONIlVIITTEE <br />If the Board decides to set aside the SHIP funds and directs staff to initiate the RFP process, a <br />developer selection committee will be established to review the proposals, rank the proposals, and <br />recommend selection of a developer. A three member committee consisting of the community <br />development director, a representative from the county attorney's office (Terrence O'Brien), and a <br />representative from the budget office (Jason Brown) may perform this task. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners : <br />• agree to set aside $150,000 of SHIP funds per fiscal year for the next three fiscal years for <br />eligible clients of affordable housing developers ; <br />• authorize the Community Development Director to advertise the attached RFP; <br />• direct the community development director to establish a three member developer selection <br />committee to process proposals, rank proposals, and recommend selection of a developer, <br />and submit the results of the ranking to the Board for approval. <br />Attachments <br />1. Draft notice of request for proposal <br />2. Draft request for proposal document <br />Community Development Director Bob Keating reviewed the memorandum and <br />explained the alternatives and recommendation in detail. He advised that other counties are <br />using similar processes. The County's probability of receiving HOME funds would be <br />enhanced by moving forward with staff's recommendation. <br />Chairman Macht thought the term "developer" implies a development, and Director <br />Keating explained that in discussions with a developer, he would get one parcel of property, <br />actually subdivide it into single family lots that meet the zoning criteria of the district and <br />build the single family homes and sell them to individuals who would get the financing and <br />who would actually get the SHIP and HOME funds and a conventional mortgage. <br />Commissioner Tippin stated that the developer who has been discussing this matter <br />with staffhas a special interest in a property owned by a relative and he would like to abstain <br />from the vote. <br />SEPTEMBER 7. 1999 <br />82 <br />
