All registered speakers will receive up to three(3)minutes unless the time is adjusted by the Chairman. 6. DISCUSSION ITEMS AND PRESENTATIONS a. Cormac began the review of the draft contract with the Urban Land Institute(ULI). He opened with a short history of where we are and how we got here in regards to the RFP. Ile was enthusiastic about using the ULI since the response we received from other consultants was not up to expectations. He said that the ULI contract would cost about$135,000 less a$10,000 grant that we would from the Terwilliger Institute. This would leave another$125,000 on the table for an additional consultant to deal with actual implementation if necessary. However, with the information we get from the ULI,our staff may be able to implement the plan without outside assistance. He explained that the Stakeholders Committee had given their approval to move forward with using the ULI. Hopefully,the executive summary will go to the BCC on October 25, 2016. Steve Hruby went through the contract and the 5 day panel that ULI would bring to town. He also discussed what staff will have to do before the ULI arrives. There is much coordination that must be done to complete all of the plans. We must produce a handbook, schedule interviews,plan site visits and prepare a plan for a tour of the county. Steve is very excited about this project and is very encouraged that we will 2 11 be ahead of schedule if everything works out the way we expect it to. The exit briefing that they would provide before their departure would be a great start in giving high level policy direction to the Commissioners. Steve stressed the fact that they will not tell us what we want to hear,but they will give unbiased opinions. He said that after the formal report comes,he would like to reach consensus to jumpstart the housing plan by January 17th. b. Joe Schmitt told the group that both he and Mark Strain are both on the Planning Commission. They discussed the situation and Mark agreed to resign from the AHAC,allowing Joe to take the"Planning Commission"spot on the committee. This would leave the resident in jurisdiction position open for another member. Kim told the group that we have 3 candidates(Mary Waller,Barbara Melvin and Hector i Hernandez)who are waiting to be nominated for membership into the committee. After discussion by the group,Denise Murphy motioned that Mary Waller be appointed to the position. This was seconded by Litha Berger and the group voted 9- 0 in agreement. Kim said she will look into what we have to do to make this all happen. Kim reminded the group that there is still a"labor engaged in home building"position still open. 7.
