BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: March 5, 2013
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Elliot Kampert
SUBJECT: Adoption of Affordable Housing Advisory Committee Resolution
DEPARTMENT: Growth Management
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: It is necessary to adopt a resolution establishing an Affordable
Housing Advisory Committee.
BACKGROUND: In 2008, the Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution 08-101
which established the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee in compliance with section
420.9076 of the Florida Statues as necessary to participate in the State Housing Initiatives
Partnership (SHIP) program. At that time, staff was advised by the Florida Housing Finance
Corporation (the agency that oversees SHIP) that the members' names had to be listed in the
resolution. Since that time, some members of the AHAC have moved or are no longer able to
serve, and so it is necessary to amend the resolution. Staff has discussed this matter with the
Florida Housing Finance Corporation and has been advised, in writing, that it is not necessary to
list the actual members' names in the resolution. Accordingly, the attached resolution lists the
housing-related areas which by statute (see section 420.9076(2), attached) have to be represented
on the committee, and provides that the BCC will appoint the actual members. This is consistent
with how other board and committee members are appointed.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that the Board adopt the attached Resolution
establishing the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee.
