The Committee shall consist of one representative from at least six of the following categories:

The Affordable Housing Advisory Committee typically meets in the Growth Management Department Conference Room at 3:30 PM every month. Their agendas are published to the County’s web site in a timely manner.
The Administration Staff advised Marcy Pitkin and Jesse Nasianceno that their terms will expire on January 8, 2020. The incumbents were provided an Application for Appointment to complete and return if so desired. Ms. Pitkin advised staff that she is moving from the area and will no longer be eligible to serve.
An Information Release soliciting applicants was emailed via Constant Contact to the Outreach Martin, Local Media, and past CARES graduates email lists which includes local Chambers of Commerce, local businesses, and citizens (well over 2,600 recipients). The Information Release was also posted to the County’s web page under News.
The Administration Staff will advise the applicants of the Commission’s decision which includes Sunshine Law information to the appointed individuals. Chair letters and Certificates of Appreciation will be mailed to any members not reappointed. The Chair will sign the letters and certificates.
