RECOMMENDATION(S):

DECLARE a vacancy in County No. 1 seat on the Affordable Housing Finance Committee and DIRECT the Clerk of the Board to post the vacancy.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

The Affordable Housing Finance Committee advises the Board of Supervisors on the annual allocation of approximately $3.1 million in HOME Investment Partnership Act (HOME) and $2 million in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for affordable housing development in Contra Costa County. These funds are allocated to the County on an annual basis by formula through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The Committee consists of nine members, including:

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

•three city representatives (one each from East, Central and West County)
•three county representatives (must live or work in the unincorporated County); and
•three community representatives.

The three city representatives are nominated by the cities in each subregion of the County and approved by the Board of Supervisors. Nominations for county and community representatives are solicited by the Department of Conservation and Development. All county and community representative appointments to the AHFC are reviewed by the Internal Operations Committee (IOC) and referred to the Board of Supervisors for approval. AHFC terms are for three years.

Paige Simmons was appointed to County No. 1 seat in 2018 to fill a term that ends on June 30, 2020. As of March 18, 2019, she has resigned her seat on the AHFC. Declaring this seat vacant will allow staff to recruit for a new member.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, the Affordable Housing Finance Committee will have a seat filled with an inactive member.
