I have served on this board for 2-years and have enjoyed being a part of the process. I also have several years of architectural background in civic/justice projects at the state and local level. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: As a resident of Hillsborough and Orange County for over 5-years, it is important to me to understand how I can help the community understand the process. The planning process can be confusing (even to me), so hearing everyone s thoughts and opinions are very helpful. I understand people s trepidation and concern about changes in this community. Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: Conflict of Interest: 28 Page 2 of 2 Jeff Scott Affordable Housing Advisory Board Background, education and experience relevant to this board: As an architect, affordable housing is always a critical topic of concern. I practiced in residential architecture at the beginning of my career. I have also volunteered with Habitat for Humanity in Charlotte, Asheville, and Raleigh/Durham. My previous experience working with general contractors and construction managers also allows me to understand the ramifications of costing, constructability, and project management. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: Affordable housing is a very important and apt topic locally and nationally. As an active professional in this region, I continue to see how this area is being shaped for both the positive and negative. Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: I believe that the diversity I could bring to the Affordable Housing Advisory Board could certainly be an asset for Orange County. Having lived in other communities in this state (Asheville, Charlotte, Raleigh, Durham), as well as having spent time studying abroad in Italy and Germany, I have seen a variety of strategies that address housing. In many instances this housing has been shaped by how the urban or rural fabric is shaped. Orange County has the opportunity to really be a leader in driving affordable housing strategies forward as the county grapples with issues of growth and long-term planning strategies. I have seen this while working on single- family and multi-family residential projects and how the divide between building types is critical. Having seen how other communities grapple with affordable housing is also very important to me. Affordable housing is always a very difficult and contentious topic. I have previously been a part of a design/build architectural studio that focused solely on designing and building a home for a low-income family. I have seen how carefully and thoughtfully the process can be executed. Much of the process comes down to creating an architecture of decency for the people that inhabit these homes. Conflict of Interest: Orange County Board of Adjustment(REQUIRES DISCLOSURE STATEMENT) Background, education and experience relevant to this board: Having served in the Hillsborough Planning Board, I see the issues of concern when planning is at odds with the property owners. Typically this has always been something remedied without resorting to BOA but it seems like an interesting process. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: My architectural/planning background would help me in serving on this board. I also believe I have the fair and impartial temperament to serve. Having served as a project architect and manager for numerous projects, I see where conflicts come in and how to resolve them.

I want to help Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: For 28 years I have developed residential subdivisions throughout the Triangle area.

I believe I can add valuable insight to the Affordable Housing Advisory Board. Conflict of Interest: I am mostly retired from development, but were I to create another Orange County subdivision I don t see how that would be a conflict.

Most recently I served as the Moderator of the Governance Council for my church. My work included rewriting and revamping the governance structure to permit the church to grow in a positive and forward manner. Professionally I am a Biologist by trade and have spent most of my career helping teachers to integrate science into all areas of the classroom. I have also worked as a homeschooling teacher and have been able to meet families from all walks of life. This experience has given me a first person view of how the rapid change in housing options have impacted the diversity of the areas that we serve. I am incredibly passionate about keeping Orange County accessible to all walks of life. We need doctors, teachers and food service workers in all areas of this county to keep it vibrant. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I love Hillsborough and Orange County s economic and age diversity. It was what brought me and my family to this area 23 years ago. I feel it is important to have this kind of diversity to prevent a community from becoming too homogeneous and stagnant. I feel having this kind of diversity is what defines Hillsborough. I fear that without affordable housing Hillsborough may become similar to cities like Cary and Morrisville. 34 Page 2 of 2 Tim Woody Conflict of Interest: no Affordable Housing Advisory Board Background, education and experience relevant to this board: My experience in leading groups through change is what I feel I most bring to the table.
