Commissioner Jacobs said the golden sheet at their places very specifically says, “5 new manufactured homes.” He said he does not support this, but does support Chair Dorosin’s suggestion to look at the same amount of money, with three definitely being mobile homes, and staff working on other options based on need, timing, funds, and available sites. Commissioner Price said her motion was based on the recommendation. Commissioner Jacobs said he is asking if there can be clarification. Chair Dorosin suggested a friendly amendment to the motion to have three units as mobile homes, and use the remaining money for other affordable housing. Bonnie Hammersley said that Board of County Commissioners can simply approve a total amount, not to exceed, without any further specifications. Commissioner Price and Burroughs expressed preference for the Manager’s suggestion. VOTE: UNANIMOUS Commissioner Jacobs said he would like to follow up on Commissioner Rich’s suggestion of knowing where money is being spent, and what funds remain.
