DATE: NOVEMBER 1, 1996
Due to the passing of Samuel McGhee, there is a vacancy for an
"advocate for low-income persons" to fill the unexpired term ending
March 31, 1997.
The Affordable Housing Advisory Committee was established pursuant to
Ordinance No. 2-93, passed on February 23, 1993.
"Affordable Housing", as stated in Resolution No. 17-93, "shall mean
the development or redevelopment of new land within the City to
provide for housing which meets a wide range of economic abilities,
and providing for the housing needs to current and future residents of
the City. The development and redevelopment of new land shall result
in the provision of a variety of housing types which shall continue to
accommodate the diverse makeup of the City's demographic profile."
The Affordable Housing Advisory Committee meets on a bi-monthly
basis.
Advertisements were placed in the "News of Delray" and also "The
Delray Times" for a person in the low-income advocacy capacity, but
none were received. Applications are on file from the following
individuals in the citizen-at-large category:
Edward Aptaker
Joseph Farkas
Thomas G. Hinners
Sherry Johnson
Edward McCall
Albert McNamara
We are continuing to pursue advocates for low-income persons. If
additional applications are received, we will forward them to you.
The appointment will be made by Commissioner Ellingsworth (Seat #3).
Appointments to the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee are
formalized by resolution. Therefore, staff recommends appointment of
a member to the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee to complete an
unexpired term ending March 31, 1997. Once the appointment is made,
formal adoption of Resolution No. 80-96 is requested.
