RECOMMENDATION(S):

RE-APPOINT Cal Robie to the City 3 seat on the Affordable Housing Finance Committee to a term ending June 30, 2019, as recommended by the Community Development Block Grant entitlement cities in Central County.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No General Fund impact.

BACKGROUND:

The Affordable Housing Finance Committee (AHFC) advises the Board of Supervisors on the allocation of approximately $3 million in HOME Investment Partnerships Act (HOME) and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for affordable housing development in Contra Costa County. The Committee consists of nine members, including three Community Representatives, three County Representatives, and three City Representatives. The three City Representatives are nominated by the cities in each subregion of the County. All AHFC members are appointed by the Board of Supervisors to serve staggered three year terms.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Applicants for the City Representative positions are endorsed by the appropriate cities and forwarded to the Board of Supervisors for approval. The City of Pleasant Hill, and the CDBG entitlement jurisdictions and HOME Consortium members, Concord and Walnut Creek, endorsed Cal Robie. The remaining Central County cities did not object to his appointment, but either did not know enough about Mr. Robie and/or the committee to feel comfortable in making a recommendation.

Cal Robie, a resident of Pleasant Hill, is an extremely well qualified applicant with experience in real estate lending through his banking career. He has been an active member of the AHFC since 1998. There were no other applicants for this seat. In addition to this vacancy, one of the three County representative seats is vacant.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this appointment is not made, the committee will have a vacancy and will continue to advertise for new members.
