C. A study should be undertaken and completed by September 1984 to determine
whether any expansion or contraction of areas to receive housing rehabilita-
tion services should occur. The study should also analyze components of the
housing rehabilitation program and make recommendations.
3. The Housing and Community Development Advisory Committee
The present Committee composition was derived by six nominees from the Mayor's
Conference and five from the members of the Board of Supervisors, which appoints
all eleven members. The Committee should be modified to better represent the
County geographically and to include represention from persons with expertise in
areas of increased concentration of program funds.
The HCDAC is recommending that the Committee be reformed to include fifteen
members and that the new composition be derived by having each member of the
Board of Supervisors appoint three members to the Committee including at least one
present member of the HCDAC for continuity. All interested parties, cities,
community groups and individuals would be encouraged to submit names for
consideration to the appropriate Board member.
The Board should take into account the lower income serving nature of the program
and continue to appoint lower income and minority representatives on the
Committee. Active Neighborhood Preservation Committee members, city
nominees, past Committee members and persons with interest or expertise in
housing and economic development should also be considered. Elected officials
should not be appointed to this citizen advisory committee.
BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION
I concur with the Committee's recommendation. The terms. of the members of the
Housing and Community Development Advisory Committee expire June 30, 1984. Should
the Board approve this recommendation, advertising should begin immediately to fill
appointments for the new committee by August 1, 1984, so that proper training can be
conducted prior to the regular meetings beginning in September.
