10 <br /> Mr. Tolbert said the idea is not to allocate the money for something else. He said <br />if a decision is made to fill the position the money needs to be available. <br /> <br /> Mr. Huja said he would like to see basic staff protected before the housing <br />planner is added, and Mr. Tolbert agreed. <br /> <br /> Mr. Huja expressed some concern about the size of the Housing Advisory <br />Committee. He said he would like to see more citizen members on the Committee as the <br />current members seem to represent an agency or be on the receiving end. He said <br />perhaps some of the agency members could be replaced. <br /> <br /> Mr. Norris asked if Mr. Huja has any suggestions. He noted that the Committee <br />has not been unwieldy. <br /> <br /> Mr. Tolbert said they have had difficulty filling the realtor and banking positions, <br />and said perhaps they could be replaced with citizen members. <br /> <br /> Mr. Norris said we need to clarify who has voting power. He said some <br />representatives have been asked to attend meetings, but not be on the Committee. He <br />suggested removing the Albemarle County representative as a voting member, and noted <br />that IMPACT has never expressed an interest in being a voting member. <br /> <br /> Dr. Brown said he has no problem with our funds being used in Albemarle <br />County, and thinks that is a good use of our funds. He agreed with being cognizant of <br />holding off on the planner position given the current hiring freeze. He said this issue <br />should come back when and if the time is right. <br /> <br /> Ms. Edwards agreed with Dr. Brown, and said we still need the information. <br /> <br /> Mr. Huja made a motion to approve the resolution regarding the policies and the <br />Housing Advisory Committee, removing Albemarle County and IMPACT as voting <br />members, and adding at-large members. Dr. Brown seconded the motion and the <br />resolution was approved by the following vote. Ayes: Dr. Brown, Ms. Edwards, Mr. <br />Huja, Mr. Norris, Mr. Taliaferro. Noes: None. <br /> <br />WHEREAS <br /> , the City Council of the City of Charlottesville has created a <br />Housing Advisory Committee and provided funding for the provision of Affordable <br />Housing units and assistance to low income residents with housing needs, and <br /> <br />WHEREAS <br /> , the Housing Advisory Committee has proposed certain policies to <br />the City Council to guide the expenditure of those housing funds, and <br /> <br /> <br /> WHEREAS <br />, there is some confusion regarding the composition and role of the <br />Housing Advisory Committee from this point forward, <br /> <br />NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED <br /> by the City Council of the City of <br />Charlottesville as follows: <br /> <br /> That the three attached housing policies are adopted: <br /> <br />Policy 1: Objectives for Use of Affordable Housing Funds and Criteria/Priorities for <br />Award of Funds. <br /> <br />Policy 2: Incentives the City can provide to development with Affordable Housing Units. <br /> <br />Policy 3: Criteria for Awarding Mixed Use Incentive Funds/Strategic Investment Funds <br />– Revolving Loan Funds. <br /> <br />BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED <br /> that the Housing Advisory Committee (HAC) <br />is reaffirmed with the following conditions: <br /> <br /> <br />
