25 <br /> 1 the County could give specifications to the affordable housing entities requesting that they <br /> 2 provide proposals. <br /> 3 Commissioner Rich said it is also important to get the towns involved. <br /> 4 Bonnie Hammersley agreed and said it is important to maximize the potential and work <br /> 5 with the partners as much as possible. <br /> 6 Commissioner Pelissier said if the County is going to talk to different organizations, <br /> 7 there needs to be some sort of criteria in place to determine which is chosen. <br /> 8 Bonnie Hammersley said this would be determined at a staff level. <br /> 9 Commissioner Jacobs said that the point about working with different organizations is a <br /> 10 good one.

Potential Notice of Board's Intent to Schedule a November 2016 Bond <br /> 41 Referendum and Discussion on Proposed Creation of a Capital Needs Advisory <br /> 42 Task Force <br /> 43 The Board considered: 1) Formally expressing its intent to schedule a November 2016 <br /> 44 Bond Referendum to address County and School capital needs; 2) Discussing the proposed <br /> 45 creation of, structure, and charge for a proposed Capital Needs Advisory Task Force that would <br /> 46 provide recommendations to the Board regarding the elements to be included in the <br /> 47 referendum and consider approval; and 3) Directing the County Manager to arrange for the <br /> 48 services of a qualified facilitator for the Task Force. <br /> 49 Bonnie Hammersley referenced the proposal before the Commissioners.
