AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
Meeting Date: June 10, 2015 Division: County Administrator
Bulk Item: Yes No X Department: County Administrator _
Staff Contact Person/Phone #: Roman Gastesi
AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Discussion of the staffing of the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
During the FY2014-2015 budget request, the BOCC approved and funded one additional fulltime equivalent position
(FTE) within the Planning & Environmental Resources Department to create an Affordable Housing Planner position.
This position was anticipated to handle the administration of the Affordable & Employee Housing program/process to
ensure efficient and timely response to customer inquiries as well as the processing of the applications, including income
limits, eligibility and continued annual verifications. Additionally, this position would coordinate the Affordable Housing
Advisory Committee and assist in providing more efficient services by having a staff member within the department with
expertise in affordable housing.
The Planning & Environmental Resources Department posted the Affordable Housing Planner position in December
2014. To date, the recruitment efforts have not been successful and since posting the position, it seems that the magnitude
and distinction of the position has increased. Currently, the Affordable Housing Planner position is classified as a
Position Grade 113 (salary range of $43,433.70 - $71,792.24 / 40 H.P.W.).
In light of the recent discussions by the BOCC on the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee and its staffing, we would
like to discuss the possibility of upgrading and re -advertising the position. Also, we like to discuss which Department
should lead this effort.
