She said if <br /> OWASA does not want to participate, it could present updates to the BOCC periodically. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley said there is a meeting tomorrow morning with the affordable <br /> housing managers and staff from the various jurisdictions, and staff will bring it up and work <br /> towards bringing OWASA in. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Rich for the <br /> Board to approve the resolution in Attachment 1 to expand the scope of the HOME Program <br /> Review Committee to form the "Orange County Local Government Affordable Housing <br /> Collaborative" to allow for broader discussions on the County's affordable housing issues, <br /> including the creation of collaborative strategies and solutions. <br /> Commissioner Price said to add that the consortium will look at CDBG funding, and <br /> keep track of leveraging dollars. <br /> Commissioner Rich asked if this needs to be in the motion, since it was suggested to <br /> bring this up as they move forward. <br /> Sherrill Hampton said staff will capture that information in future discussions and <br /> reports, whether it is part of the motion or not. <br /> Commissioner Price suggested adding this since Chapel Hill receives and oversees the <br /> CDBG funding for everyone. <br /> Chair Dorosin suggested amending the second bullet point to state, "provide guidance <br /> on administration of the HOME program activities, and other affordable housing resources in <br /> the County." <br /> Commissioner Price said this would be acceptable. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs and Commissioner Rich withdrew previous motion. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs seconded by Commissioner Rich for the <br /> Board to approve the resolution in Attachment 1 to expand the scope of the HOME Program <br /> Review Committee to form the "Orange County Local Government Affordable Housing <br /> Collaborative" to allow for broader discussions on the County's affordable housing issues, <br /> including the creation of collaborative strategies and solutions, and provide guidance on <br /> administration of the HOME program activities, and other affordable housing resources in the <br /> County. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> c.
