With six members in attendance a quorum was established.
3. APPROVAL OF AGENDA
A. Approval of agenda. Taylor McLaughlin motioned to approve the agenda and Denise
Murphy seconded. The group voted 6-0 to accept the agenda.
4. PUBLIC COMMENT
Michael Puchalla told the group about the FHC conference he attended in Orlando. There
was information given about creating inclusive communities in Florida. Miami-Dade is
doing mandatory inclusionary zoning. He brought a booklet published by the Florida
Housing Coalition that we will copy and put on the webpage in the reference section.
5. DISCUSSION ITEMS AND PRESENTATIONS
A. Steve Hruby updated the group on the housing plan. He spoke to the Director of the ULI
who explained that the ULI are not considered consultants and their services are not for
sale. We would enter into a contract; the ULI would have 2 months to put a plan together
and will start their process around January 15th. Their panel members would come down
to scout out the community and prepare a list of questions and requirements that we would
have to put together before they arrive. A list of similar studies has been sent out that
includes 2 similar to our community. They have similar issues to ours. Steve is going to
speak to the President of the local chapter of the ULI to discuss the process further. He
also said that Terwilliger would give us a$10,000 grant to proceed with the project and
the total project would cost about$135,000. The entire budget for the original Housing
Plan project is $250,000..
Cormac reported that the Stakeholder Committee had lengthy discussion on the ULI
program and motioned to move forward with engaging the UL1. They asked that they stay
updated. If the ULI could tackle the pre-work,this could be a springboard for the RFP to
begin for policy solutions. Bringing in the U1,1 might bring the policy decisions to the
forefront sooner. The ULI would exit the project with a presentation to give their findings
and recommendations. The ULI would also be accessible to us after they leave and would
come back for a 6-month follow-up. Taylor McLaughlin said she has done research on
ULI and the Terwilliger Institute and she likes the idea of having them work with us.
Staff will work with the Chairman to draft the scope to bring back to AHAC for
comments. They will then send the finalized contract to the Stakeholders. We would like
to have the final scope by October 10th and take it to the BCC on October 25th if possible.
Kristi Bartlett motioned to move forward with the proposal and Taylor seconded. The
group voted 6-0 in favor.
