RECOMMENDATION(S):

RE-APPOINT Eric Brown to the East County City 1 seat on the Affordable Housing Finance Committee to a new three-year term expiring June 30, 2017, as recommended by the cities in East County.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal 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, and Community Development Block Grant 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 considered by the appropriate cities and their recommendations are forwarded to the Board of Supervisors for approval.

Eric Brown, a resident of Brentwood, has served on the AHFC since 2008. He is an active and engaged member of the committee. Conservation and Development staff surveyed the cities of Antioch, Brentwood, Oakley and Pittsburg to seek support to re-appoint Mr. Brown to the AHFC as the East County Representative. All four jurisdictions indicated support for his reappointment.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
