She said this is an increase, which when combined with the State matching <br /> funds will total $500,000. <br /> Chair McKee said he spoke with several of the affordable housing providers. He <br /> encouraged the County staff to work with Chapel Hill, Hillsborough, Carrboro and Mebane <br /> moving forward in order to create an overarching plan as opposed to working in silence. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley said she met with the Housing Director about a strategy and staff <br /> will go out to meet with all of the providers and comprise the information going forward. She <br /> said a report will be brought back to the Board, likely in September. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said part of the impetus for doing this is to provide a fall back for <br /> those who live in mobile homes. He said there is little known about the mobile home <br /> developments and their needs. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley said doing a survey to gather such information is part of the plan. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said despite all the good work of the affordable housing <br /> providers, most do not address mobile homes. He said the County needs to bring up the issue <br /> of mobile homes with all groups and providers. <br /> Chair McKee said that mobile homes were part of his discussion and there should be <br /> some creative, out of the box thinking, in regards to affordable housing. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin said to be realistic there will not be any new manufactured <br /> housing developed in Chapel Hill or Carrboro. <br /> Chair McKee said the concern is for the residents of mobile homes and should the <br /> owner of the land be offered a buyout, would this leave the residents without anywhere to go. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley continued her PowerPoint presentation: <br /> Recommended CIP FUNDING <br /> • Special Revenue Projects <br /> o Article 46 Sales Tax <br /> ■ Economic Development <br /> ■ Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools (CHCCS) <br /> ■ Orange County Schools (OCS) <br /> Recommended CIP FUNDING <br /> • Proprietary Capital Projects <br /> • Water and Sewer Utilities <br /> ■ Efland Sewer flow to Mebane <br /> ■ Utility Extension Projects <br /> ■ Hillsborough EDD <br /> ■ Eno EDD <br /> • Solid Waste <br />
