Consolidated Housing Plan Annual Update/HOME Program <br /> The Board considered adopting housing resolutions and authorizing the Manager to <br /> implement the HOME Program as approved by the BOCC. <br /> Housing and Community Development Director Tara Fikes said that there is a revised <br /> abstract and resolution for this item because when the 2009-2010 HOME Program was <br /> developed, the federal budget did not get passed, so there were not final allocation numbers. <br /> The final numbers for 2009 were received yesterday. The resolution has these changes in the <br /> numbers: <br /> - Increase in allocation for Orange Community Housing and Land Trust to $139,033 <br /> - Increase in allocation for Habitat for Humanity's Phoenix Place project to $250,000. <br /> A motion was made by Chair Foushee, seconded by Commissioner Nelson to adopt a <br /> resolution approving the 2009 Consolidated Housing Plan Annual update; adopt a resolution <br /> approving the proposed HOME Program Activities for 2009-2010; and authorize the Manager <br /> to implement the HOME Program as approved by the BOCC including the ability to execute <br /> agreements with partnering non-profit organizations after consultation with the County <br /> Attorney. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> m. Schools Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance —Approval and Certification of <br /> Annual 2009 Report <br /> The Board considered approving the 2009 Schools Adequate Public Facilities <br /> Ordinance Technical Advisory Committee Report and certifying portions of the Report as listed. <br /> Commissioner Gordon made reference to the multi-colored sheets, Attachment II.C.4, <br /> and said that 2010-11 is the year that Elementary School #11 was supposed to come on line. <br /> Elementary School #10 is starting to exceed capacity. She said that the SAPFO was entered <br /> into by a partnership with the Towns, the school boards, and the County Commissioners. The <br /> County Commissioners have not made any decisions on changing this, so the Commissioners <br /> should comply with the ordinance. <br /> Commissioner Nelson said that at the last joint meeting with the school boards, the <br /> County Commissioners did not get the budget information until they showed up at the meeting. <br /> He said that one of the school boards submitted its budget two weeks in advance. He wants to <br /> direct staff clearly and specifically to make sure the County Commissioners get information for <br /> a meeting in time to digest the information. <br />
