Agenda Item Summary #8484
BULK ITEM: No DEPARTMENT: County Attorney's Office
TIME APPROXIMATE: STAFF CONTACT: Bob Shillinger(305) 292-3470
1:30 PM PUBLIC HEARING
AGENDA ITEM WORDING: A public hearing to adopt a glitch ordinance to remove the
requirement in M.C.C. 2-700 that appointments to the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee
(AHAC)be accomplished by resolution.
ITEM BACKGROUND: Florida law directs each local government participating in the State
Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP)Program to appoint an affordable housing committee. F.S.
420.9076. The BOCC adopted 2-700 of the County Code to establish County's Affordable Housing
Committee (AHAC).
Prior to 2016, F.S. 420.9076 required that such appointments be made by resolution. That formality
was removed from the statute in 2016. Unfortunately, when the Board adopted Ordinance 004-2021
to conform M.C.C. 2-700 to an updated version of F.S. 420.9076, the formality of making
appointments by resolution was retained.
The proposed ordinance would remove the formality of requiring appointments to the AHAC be
made by resolution. The Board appoints citizens to more than twenty advisory committees without
the formality of an appointing resolution. The proposed ordinance would eliminate unnecessary
staff work and conform the AHAC appointment practice to that of other advisory committees.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: On 3/17/21, the BOCC adopted ordinance 004-2021.
06/16/21, the BOCC approved advertisement .
