body
BRIEF OVERVIEW
During the 2007 Legislative session, the Florida legislature reinstated the requirement that all local governments that participated in the State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) program must have an Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC). The Legislature also required that the AHAC be made up of eleven (11) members instead of nine (9) as in the original statutes and ordinance and must represent specific areas/backgrounds.
Staff is recommending the individual listed below, representing the specific areas/backgrounds, be reappointed to the AHAC for a term of two (2) years as prescribed in Ordinance No. 2008-10.
1. Proposed reappointment of Elizabeth Powanda - A citizen who is actively engaged as a real estate professional in connection with affordable housing.
A news release was issued accepting applications from individuals interested in serving as a member on the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee for various positions. As a result of the news release, Elizabeth Powanda, who is a current member, reapplied.
Staff would like to reappoint Elizabeth Powanda as a member for the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee.
The AHAC is charged with annually reviewing established policies and procedures, ordinances, and land development regulations, adopt local government comprehensive plan and recommend specific actions or initiatives to encourage or facilitate affordable housing while protecting the ability of the property to appreciate in value. The recommendations may include the modification or repeal of existing policies, procedures, regulations, ordinances, or plan provisions, including recommendations to amend the comprehensive plan and corresponding regulations, ordinances, and other policies.
