6 1 David Stancil clarified that the "Appropriate intensity of use for the area" was to look at 2 the level of intensity to determine if the neighborhoods around the park would be impacted from 3 that type of use and intensity. The other criterion is to determine if the land is suitable. 4 Chair Gordon said that the criteria should say, "Appropriate intensity of use for the 5 surrounding area." 6 This item will be on consent agenda on December 7`h 7 A motion was made by Commissioner Brown, seconded by Commissioner Halkiotis to 8 adopt the Parkland Acquisition Criteria as revised and to agree to use this to evaluate parkland 9 proposals on an interim basis until the Lands Legacy program is adopted. 10 VOTE: UNANIMOUS 11 John Link will send out both items to the Commissioners before the next meeting to be 12 sure that everything is included. 13 14 4. AFFORDABLE HOUSING BOND PROJECTS 15 Housing and Community Development Director Tara Fikes said that in April of 1998 the 16 Board of County Commissioners appointed a Housing Bond Policy Task Force whose charge 17 was to develop policies that would govern how bond monies are expended in the future. The 18 Board approved the policy on December 15, 1998. She made reference to page six of the 19 agenda abstract that lists the members of the committee that would review the projects. At this 20 time, the Housing Bond Policy task force proposes eight projects to be funded by the housing 21 bond issue. 22 Commissioner Brown made reference to a request she made for a long-term affordability 23 policy. Geoffrey Gledhill said that this would be on the December 7`h agenda for Board 24 consideration. 25 Commissioner Brown asked about the land trust money that was received a few weeks 26 ago that could have a very interesting effect on some of the applications. She is not interested 27 in approving or disapproving any of the projects tonight. She would like to look at the 28 applications through the long-term affordability policy and the land trust money. 29 Commissioner Jacobs made reference to the Fair Housing Plan that was open for public 30 comment and asked if that will come back to the Board for approval. He would like to see the 31 criteria for evaluation and how each project came out in the scoring. 32 Commissioner Carey asked which two projects were unsuccessful and why. 33 Commissioner Jacobs made reference to the criteria on page 4 (the Bonus under the 34 Design criteria), and asked if he was to understand that the criterion about meeting the 35 accessibility needs of persons with disabilities is above and beyond what is usually required and 36 Tara Fikes said yes. 37 The Board asked for these answers to be brought back as soon as possible, either 38 December 7`h or January 18`h 39 Commissioner Brown asked for Tara Fikes to also come back with an overview of what 40 these projects are going to add to the market for each entity. 41 It was decided by consensus that deadlines would be noted on the agenda for 42 December 7`h 43 44 5. BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS PROCEDURES 45 Commissioner Brown made reference to page three, number four, and asked if there 46 should be a separate section for reappointments. 47 Beverly Blythe said that the attendance for the Boards and Commissions is not kept 48 regularly. Once this is approved, she will be sure that the Board will be provided with this 49 attendance information. 50 Commissioner Brown made reference to number six on page four, and added, "If an 51 unexpired term is more than 2 years, it shall be considered a full term." She was confused 52 about appointments for unexpired terms and said that someone could be appointed early on 53 and basically serve three terms.
