Consent Agenda <br /> • Removal of Any Items from Consent Agenda <br /> Item 6c by Commissioner Jacobs <br /> • Approval of Remaining Consent Agenda <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Burroughs, seconded by Commissioner Rich to <br /> approve the remaining items on the consent agenda. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> • Discussion and Approval of the Items Removed from the Consent Agenda <br /> • C. Impact Fee Reimbursement Request from Habitat for Humanity <br /> The Board considered the reimbursement of impact fees for Habitat for Humanity, in <br /> the amount of$97,007 for nine (9) homes recently constructed in the County for low income <br /> persons. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said the lavender sheet at their places is information showing the <br /> County's General Fund Contributions to affordable housing initiatives. He said there had been <br /> some complaints that the Board does not do enough so he asked staff to put the Board's <br /> initiatives on paper, as they are sometimes invisible to the public. He said the amount is <br /> $811,300. He said these funds may well not be enough but they are a start. <br /> Commissioner Rich thanked for Commissioner Jacobs for making this request of staff. <br /> Chair McKee thanked the staff for their quick efforts to pull this information together. <br /> Commissioner Rich made a request for future meetings asking staff to put handouts on <br /> the projector screen for the public to see when watching via streaming video. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin suggested doing this with all handouts and to add them to the <br /> website as part of the agenda. <br /> Chair McKee said during a work session last week there was a proposal from a <br /> developer for exemption of the impact fee for high end senior housing. He said he does not <br /> mind exempting impact fees for affordable housing but not for high end units. He said the <br /> Board should not be picking and choosing properties. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Price to <br /> approve the reimbursement of impact fees for Habitat for Humanity in the amount of$97,007 <br /> for nine (9) homes recently constructed in the County for low income persons. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> a.
