BACKGROUND:
On July 1, 2008, Council adopted Ordinance 5865, appointing an eleven-member board as the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC) to recommend monetary and non-monetary incentives for the affordable housing incentive plan as required in Section 420.9076 F.S.
As per Section 106-137(c) of the amending Ordinance 5865, City Council shall appoint members to the committee by resolution. This section was amended on December 18, 2018 by Ordinance 2019-13 to reduce the minimum number of AHAC members from eleven to eight.
Former board member Milo Ayen has moved away from the Ocala area, leaving an unexpired three-year term ending December 31, 2022. Dr. Gwendolyn Dawson has submitted her application.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS:
The State requires that there be an active Affordable Housing Advisory Committee composed of at least eight individuals from various backgrounds. The City's Affordable Housing Advisory Committee is to meet and bring recommendations to the City Council on ways to reduce or eliminate impediments to affordable housing.
The person named meets the qualifications of the categories set forth in Section 420.9076 F.S.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Without the advisory committee, the City would be ineligible for potential SHIP funding.
