COMMITTEES/PLANNING
Mr. Pete Wahl, County Manager, explained this request, concerning affordable housing, noting that he had some questions and concerns relative to the Articles of Incorporation that had been provided to the Board members, concerning the request. He stated that, at this point in time, he was not sure whether any action was required on those Articles of Incorporation, nor was he sure that the County, for other than individual participation by certain county staff members, needed to take action on it. He felt that the Board needed to discuss the method in which the County is going to participate in the Sadowski Act Program.
Ms. Annette Star Lustgarten, County Attorney, informed the Board that the Act creates a program that is called the State Housing Initiative Partnership Program (SHIP) and, in order to be eligible for funds, which are raised by an increase in the documentary stamp tax that will be assessed against all recorded documents, the County is required to adopt an ordinance which incorporates the following: (1) adopt what is called a Local Housing Assistance Plan; (2) create an advisory committee to address issues of how to make affordable housing more available to the local community; and (3) set up a trust fund for receipt of those funds.
Ms. Lustgarten, County Attorney, stated that Lake County is somewhat ahead of the game, as the Housing Element requires the establishment of an Affordable Housing Task Force, which she noted has been created and has been in existence for several months. She
stated that it would be a very simple matter to adapt the County's existing task force to the advisory committee format that is required by the Florida Statutes and noted that the trust fund could be created immediately, as well. She stated that these two things require ordinances, which she noted could be done expeditiously. She also stated it requires that the membership of the task force be changed somewhat and that their goals be changed in some respect, as well. She stated that what the Board had before them was a number of options as to how they want to proceed and implement the program, as far as information is concerned. She stated that it is mandated that there be a cooperative effort between local government and the private sector of the County. She stated that the Articles of Incorporation would create a not-for-profit corporation specifically for the purpose of providing affordable housing, however, noted that it is inappropriate for her to be named as the resident agent for the corporation, due to the fact that she needs to stand as a separate entity, totally unrelated to the corporation itself.
Ms. Lustgarten, County Attorney, stated that there was also a concern with Mr. Wahl being named as a Trustee for the corporation, at which time he elaborated on that fact, stating the reason for the concern. He stated that he feels the County needs some participation and some degree of oversight on the Board of Directors of that corporation, and that he did not have any objection to either himself, a commissioner, or another staff member sitting on that Board, as he feels it is essential. He stated that he feels the operational procedures of the corporation are going to be critical and would like staff to do a little more research before the County buys into it. He stated that he did not have any problem with the concept, but was not sure that it was something that the Board needed to approve or be involved in directly, except on an informational basis. He stated that this could become the vehicle for the Board to funnel the Sadowski Act money out into the community. He stated that, in terms of
authorizing the ordinance and creating the trust fund, he was not sure that the Board needed to take much more action than that, at this particular point in time.
Ms. Lustgarten, County Attorney, interjected that the Board had already authorized all the necessary ordinances to implement the Sadowski Act, therefore, two ordinances could be initiated immediately to change the nature of the task force to an advisory committee and create the trust fund. She stated that the actual adoption of the plan is something that staff would address.
At this time, Mr. John Swanson, Director of Planning, requested direction from the Board as to what steps staff should take, regarding the matter. He noted that staff had prepared a packet of information for the Board that contained four options, which he discussed. He stated that one of the most important things was to coordinate with the other cities and agencies that are being formed. He stated that there are presently two housing programs - one for rental and one for ownership, which he discussed with the Board.
Further discussion occurred, at which time Mr. Wahl stated that he felt the capability exists inhouse to put the program together, and that one of the things he would like to do is work with the member banks, who are interested in the not-for-profit corporation, to see what data exists - what information is required to meet the requirements of the Sadowski Act and come back to the Board, at a later date, with either a proposed plan or recommendations to do additional work, if it needs to be done.
Ms. Lustgarten, County Attorney, stated that once the Board adopts the ordinance, with the plan, the County has twelve (12) months to develop what is called the incentive program.
Commr. Hanson stated that the work the City of Eustis has done has been a step in the right direction - that it is very workable, it is just a matter of refining it, so they would be the implementing force, working under the advisory committee, which
would help set policy, and the not-for-profit organization would help process the loans, networking in the community, to bring
people in. She noted that these funds are to be spent on the building of houses, not on rentals. She stated that there are a lot of ways that the County can go, but noted that there is only going to be $250,000.00, which will not go very far. She stated that, under the not-for-profit organization, the cities, the County, the banks, and the builders would each give something, or help in some way.
Further discussion occurred, however, no action was needed at this time.
PUBLIC SERVICES/ROADS-COUNTY & STATE
Mr. Jim Stivender, Director of Public Services, explained this request.
On a motion by Commr. Swartz, seconded by Commr. Bailey and carried unanimously, the Board approved the Three Year Double Surface Treatment Program, as revised.
COUNTY ATTORNEY'S MATTERS
LAWS & LEGISLATION/PROPERTY APPRAISER
Ms. Annette Star Lustgarten, County Attorney, updated the Board regarding proposed Amendment 10 to the Constitution, which limits the amount (up to 3%) that the Property Appraiser can assess homestead property, in any particular year, regardless of what the value may have been previously. She stated that it does not address commercial or industrial property, only homesteads. She stated that all oral arguments were heard before the Supreme Court on October 13, 1992, however, she has not heard the outcome of that argument, to date. She stated that there is some concern that it will affect the homestead exemptions that the County is currently entitled to, noting that one of the arguments made is that the title of the ballot question is silent as to whether or not it has an impact on homestead exemptions. She stated that a decision will have to be reached very shortly, as the title and the concept is being challenged on the November 3, 1992 election ballot, and if it
is going to be pulled, based on the Supreme Court's decision, they will have to rule so that all the Supervisors of Election can strike it from the ballot.
No action was required.
LAWS & LEGISLATION/REZONING
Ms. Annette Star Lustgarten, County Attorney, updated the Board regarding quasi-judicial hearings, and the reason the County was required to go to such hearings for Rezoning and other matters concerning real property, stating that Brevard County had sought a Writ of Certiorori review by the Supreme Court, which has since been granted, and they are now waiting for a decision. She stated that the Florida Association of Counties, as well as the League of Cities, will be filing an Amicus Brief in that particular Supreme Court hearing. She stated that they have no way of judging when a decision will come down, but, are hoping that there will be some clarity on what is and is not a quasi-judicial hearing, and what procedures are required in order to proceed.
No action was required.
LAWS & LEGISLATION/PLANNING DEPARTMENT
Ms. Annette Star Lustgarten, County Attorney, updated the Board regarding the Administrative Hearing concerning the County's Comprehensive Plan, stating that a conference call was held among all the parties involved, after the Board had acted on the matter, at the meeting of October 9, 1992. She stated that the Hearing Officer issued an Order which states that the County is mandated to give him a written report as to what action was taken by the Board, at the November 3, 1992 meeting, regarding the matter. She stated that, assuming it is approved and goes forward, the amendments which the Board will be considering on November 3, 1992, will be forwarded to the Department of Community Affairs. She stated that they are required to review said amendments, by December, and inform the County as to whether or not the County is in compliance. She stated that, if they are found in compliance, the Board will
inform the Hearing Officer that everything has been done and he will then dismiss the case.
No action was required.
