l0 1 The second issue was the effect of this ordinance on affordable housing. He said that this 2 ordinance is not fashioned to resolve affordable housing issues. He made reference to a memo from 3 County Attorney Geoffrey Gledhill that said that affordable housing will be encouraged on its merits via 4 other programs that exist in the County and that the impacts of affordable housing projects related to the 5 total amount of housing will have minimal impact. He noted that there is a general understanding that - 6 affordable housing will be handled by other policies of the county through the Affordable Housing Task 7 Force. A Schools APFO can balance CIP expenditures and allow more distribution to affordable housing 8 initiatives. 9 o b. Memorandum of Understanding 1 Craig Benedict said that some alternatives have been provided from the original process 2 with regard to updating the Schools APFO each year. Three alternatives were presented which identified 3 who could recommend and make changes to the annual updates/variables of the Schools APFO formula. 4 He said that there was a joint report of the BOCC and the school district through the School Facilities 5 Task Force that recommended a certain membership period that could also be used for the Schools 6 APFO. He noted that the original structure of the formula would be static with all the variables annually 7 updated. In the previous version any changing of the formula and its components would have to go back 8 to all the local governments and could be a long-term project. He said that the workgroup decided that 9 the alternate 1 first version would be the most workable option because it keeps the formula intact and o keeps any adjustments to the variables very technical. 1 Mike Brough clarified the comments made by Craig Benedict and said that the workgroup 2 was actually recommending the draft which is the first version but not noted as alternate 1. There was a 3 draft, alternate 1, and alternate 2. 4 Chair Gordon said that the Board of County Commissioners would prefer alternate 1 5 because they have been responsible for deciding on the projections up to now. 6 Diana McDuffee made reference to item 'c' on page two and the methodology for 7 determining the projected growth rate for student membership and asked if there would be consensus .8 among all the parties as to the methodology. .9 Mike Brough said that agreement on the items in item 'c'were prerequisites to the o adoption of the ordinance. 1 Discussion ensued about the possibility of exempting certain types of housing from the 2 ordinance. 3 Allen Spalt pointed out that reviewing the documents by August 15th was an awkward time .4 because most of the towns are on vacation and are not able to meet. .5 Craig Benedict explained the methodology for the student projection rate. ,6 Chair Gordon said that her interpretation of item 'c'was that all.parties would agree on the ,7 four items before the Schools APFO was approved. She said that the Board of County Commissioners 18 has not spent a considerable amount of time on the projected growth rate methodology. ;9 Edith Wiggins asked if the recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners would �0 be based on the County staff recommendation or could the recommendation come from this staff G1 committee that included representation from each jurisdiction. The council decided that a G2 recommendation could come from the staff committee since each jurisdiction is represented. 43 John Link said that we should not be rushing this process, and hurrying to do something E4 for the next year's CIP because that just cannot happen. He said that there should be plenty of time for 15 the staff to work through this. Craig Benedict agreed. 16 Discussion ensued about the date of the yearly meeting of the staff committee as 47 specified in item 'd' on page two of the MOU. t8 Bill Mullin clarified that the membership numbers have to be in by the 20th day of school. E9 Chair Gordon would like to stick with November 15th as the date for the yearly reporting. >o Roger Waldon made reference to Section 3a and explained the reasoning behind the date ;1 of November 15tH
