BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

The Workforce Housing Advisory Committee Bylaws were modified in September 2021.  The changes were proposed to ensure the committee can continue to meet on a regular basis and to clarify some outstanding questions that have arisen as it has operated.  One of the principal changes was the reservation of six positions from certain organizations and a preference for the remaining five positions to be filled by other community groups.  Section 3.02(c) of the approved bylaws state that if one of the remaining positions could not be filled by a representative of the preferred organizations, the City Council would appoint an at-large citizen. The proposed change clarifies that the same at-large appointment can occur if the City does not receive an appropriate representative from one of the six organizations with a reserved slot.
