A hearings officer reviews completed petitions and makes recommendations to the Council for final action. This ordinance clarifies the procedural aspects of the Code with regard to quasi-judicial amendments to the UGB.

RESOLUTION NO. 98-2630, FOR THE PURPOSE OF AMENDING MEMBERSHIP CATEGORIES FOR THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE

(Action Requested: Motion to recommend Council adoption)

In December 1997 the Council created an Affordable Housing Technical Advisory Committee to assist in drafting an Affordable Housing Functional Plan. The ordinance specified that the committee includes, among the other representatives, representatives from a regional housing authority, three affordable housing providers and a major employer. The final recommendations for the affordable housing provider positions included two local housing authorities, rendering the regional housing authority position redundant. This resolution deletes the requirement of a regional housing authority and adds another major employer representative.
