Department Report/County Report {
Annette Moore explained that on February 7, 2017 the Board of County Commissioners (`BOCC")
approved the criteria selection,the timeline, resolution and the number of documents for the$2.5 million
of the bond money for affordable housing. She showed them a map outlining the location of the ten(10)
County and OCHA owned properties that will be included in the second RFP. She explained there will
issue two RFP's: (1) an RFP for $2.5 million in bond money to be used for affordable housing and (2)
an RFP for the County and OCHA owned parcels of land that will be developed for affordable housing.
Ms. Moore explained the scoring criteria to evaluate the RFPs. She also discussed the timeline for
release of the RFP and the selection process. The RFP will be released on February 20, 2017. Tammy
Jacobs asked about the locations for the application workshops. Ms. Moore stated that it will probably
be at the Link building or Southern Human Services Building. She will provide the information to the
OCHA. Diane Beecham asked why there was such a condensed timeline. Ms. Moore explained that the
Board of County Commissioners (`BOCC") discussed the condensed timeline and the intent was that if
we don't get enough good projects in this round we can do another round later this year. There was
discussion on the resolution of which properties would be considered for the RFP and why the three
major properties with major acreage were removed from consideration. The OCHA board would like to
have information on why the BOCC took the larger parcels of land of the table.
Financial Report

the board to see how they liked the set up and if it would be something they would consider using. Diane

acronyms and how they are calculated. Ms. Bolduc provided a spreadsheet that she created for the
OCHA.
