20 <br /> Awarded <br /> 1. Experience of the applicant in carrying out projects of 10 <br /> comparable scope and nature (e.g., new construction, rental <br /> housing, rehabilitation, etc.) to that proposed, and has met <br /> regulatory compliance for prior projects. <br /> 2. Applicant has proposed a team with demonstrated 5 <br /> development, managerial and financial management <br /> capabilities in prior projects. <br /> 3. Applicant has successful record of meeting proposed 10 <br /> budgets and timetables. <br /> TOTAL POTENTIAL POINTS: 200 <br /> Commissioner Price said when a proposal is presented, a per forma should be included. <br /> Travis Myren said they could add something to that effect. <br /> Audrey Spencer Horsley said there was a limit of point per category in the past bonds. <br /> PUBLIC COMMENT: <br /> Robert Dowling said bond funds will be just one source of subsidy amongst many. He <br /> encouraged the Board to be flexible with the categories, but to be more rigid with the 51-80%, <br /> where he fits in, because it is easier to do higher incomes. He said the most difficult one to fulfill <br /> is the 0-30%, the lower incomes. He said $5 million will go very quickly. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin asked if the next steps and the timeline could be outlined. <br /> Travis Myren said staff can go back and make the requested tweaks, and bring it back to <br /> the BOCC at another regular meeting. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley said staff can make the changes, and send it out individually and <br /> ask the Commissioners to provide feedback. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley said staff is also working on the mobile home and landbanking <br /> strategies and will bring this document back to the Board soon. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin asked if it makes sense to have this finalized ahead of the bond <br /> vote, or are the two on separate, but parallel, tracks. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin referred to the County owned land, and asked if it is the sense of <br /> the Board to move forward with this independently of the bond. <br /> Commissioner Burroughs said in reference to the bond, the public can be directed to <br /> these two attachments if need be, and the BOCC does not have to nail something down <br /> immediately. <br /> Commissioner Rich agreed with Commissioner Burroughs about the affordable housing <br /> plan, and feels that the Board needs to move forward on the issue of County owned lands <br /> regardless of the bond issue. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said people who support the bond will do so with or without the <br /> plan. He said in reference to the County owned lands, to be careful to define the GreeneTract <br /> as part of the Greene Tract that is owned in part by the three governments. He said he thought <br /> it had been decided not to put affordable housing at the Southern Human Services Center <br /> (SHSC) site, and he would not want staff to move forward on County owned lands without being <br /> specific on the SHSC site and the Greene Tract. <br /> Commissioner Pelissier agreed and said the SHSC site does not lend itself to housing. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin said he was not talking about the Greene Tract or the SHSC <br /> sites, but rather the scattered County parcels. <br /> Chair McKee said it was his understanding that the Board was willing to move forward <br /> on the scattered County parcels, regardless of the bond. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin said he would also like to get an update on the scattered parcels. <br />
