The attached resolution eliminates the appointment of a member from Miami Capital Development, Inc. and allows for the City Manager to appoint an additional member from the private sector with experience in real estate lending. In addition, in the event a vacancy occurs regarding the City's appointments, the resolution also increases the number of City Departments from which the City Manager may select the Administration's three (3) representatives on the Committee. BACKGROUND: At is meeting of June 9, 1998, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 98-580 that authorized and directed the City Manager to appoint a Housing Loan Committee for the purpose of approving/disapproving housing loans and/or grants provided by the City through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) and State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) funded programs. As approved by Resolution No. 98-580, the Housing Loan Committee includes a Chairperson appointed by the Mayor, two (2) members with private real estate lending experience, one (1) member who is an active affordable housing provider, one (1) member from Miami Capital Development, Inc., and three (3) members from the City, to include representatives from the Departments of Finance, Public Works and Community Development. The existing resolution restricts the City Manager's appointments to representatives only from the Departments of Finance, Public Works and Community Development. With the retirement of Jim Kay, former Public Works Director and member of the Committee, there is a vacancy which needs to be filled by the Administration and it is my intent to appoint Frank Rollason, Director, Department of Building, to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Kay's retirement. 00+ 4,18 • • In order to move forward with this appointment, the attached resolution recommends City Commission authorization to expand the number of City Departments in the selection pool for the City Manager to appoint the Administration's representatives to also include the Departments of Building, and Planning and Zoning.
