Commissioner Pelissier said at the Assembly of Governments meeting in 2013 there <br /> was a nodding of heads when several elected officials suggested coming up with a <br /> collaborative plan for all parties regarding a comprehensive affordable housing system. She <br /> said this has fallen through the cracks, and she would like to make a formal petition for the <br /> County manager to take a lead on this effort. <br /> Commissioner Pelissier requests that the County manager work with the town <br /> managers to develop and present an organizational model to be considered for adoption by all <br /> the elected boards in the county, to accomplish the following: <br /> 1. Ensure that all partners work together to develop a comprehensive plan for affordable <br /> housing. <br /> 2. Incorporates addressing the recent petitions of Board of Commissioner members regarding <br /> tiny houses and mobile homes. <br /> 3. Identifies the respective roles of Department of Social Services and Housing, Human Rights <br /> and Community Development and how they are coordinated and/or complimentary. (This <br /> question was raised by members at a recent meeting). <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Rich, seconded by Commissioner Price to bring <br /> back the use of a three month rolling calendar starting in January, to include all relevant <br /> meeting dates, and to be updated monthly to the Board of Commissioners. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 4.
