DISCUSSION of FUNDS 148 & 149: Facilitator Coker presented an updated financial report of
Affordable Housing and Homeless housing funds.
DISCUSSION of ONE TIME PROJECT APPLICATION/REQUEST for PROPOSALS
(RFP): Task Force members concurred that funds exist to warrant another RFP for Affordable
Housing projects. After discussion, Member Can moved that the Joint Oversight Board (JOB)
consider issuing an RFP for One-Time fund applications specifically broken down between Fund
148 and Fund 149 appropriate to the purposes outlined under each fund, to assist stand-up
housing. Member Rogers seconded the motion. Discussion followed regarding a possible
amendment to the motion to exclude "stand-up housing." County Administrator Morley
suggested removing the housing reference completely. The new motion would read: "That the
Joint Oversight Board (JOB) consider issuing an RFP for One-Time fund applications
specifically broken down between Fund 148 and Fund 149 appropriate to the purposes outlined
under each fund." Member Carr agreed to amend her motion with that change. Member Rogers
agreed to the amendment. Mayor Sandoval called for a vote on the motion. The motion carried.
