After receiving an overview of the Plan by the Director of Housing, Human <br /> Rights and Community Development (Director) and public comment, the Board requested that <br /> the Director conduct additional community outreach on the Plan prior to holding a work session <br /> scheduled for May 10, 2016. <br /> At the May 10, 2016 Work Session, the Board received and discussed a summary of community <br /> engagement meetings and comments on the Plan. With the Board Work Session of May 10, <br /> 2016, the Board has discussed all the recommendations of the Plan (Attachment B). All the <br /> recommendations received the go ahead, except AR2 and AR3 recommendations concerning <br /> the potential role of the Orange County Housing Authority possibly managing County-owned <br /> affordable housing. The two items were recommended to be combined and will require further <br /> investigation. <br /> In follow-up to the Board's discussion above on the Plan recommendations, there were two <br /> major items that the Board requested additional information from staff; to bring back <br /> recommendations for: <br /> • a mobile home strategy and <br /> • the process for going forward with the Greene Tract. <br />
