MEETING DATE: September 10, 2018
MEETING TYPE: Action
RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move to appoint up to three members to the Community
Affordable Housing Advisory Board to the following positions and terms:
One Community Member At-Large with a term ending June 30, 2019,
One Real Estate Financing / Sales position with a term ending June 30, 2021, and/or
One Citizen with Demonstrated Interest in Special Needs Housing with a term ending June 30,
2021.
BACKGROUND: On August 13, 2018 the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 4948
revising the purpose and structure of the Community Affordable Housing Advisory Board
(CAHAB). As part of the structure, membership was reduced. The two real estate positions, Real
Estate Financing and Real Estate Sales, were combined into one Real Estate Financing / Sales
position. Two members who held the original real estate positions resigned from the board. The
Citizen Interested in Special Needs Housing position remains, and the Community Member At-
Large position replaced the Resides in Low or Moderate Income Housing position. The
Representative from a Recognized Non-Profit Affordable Housing Development Organization
position was eliminated. Eight individuals have applied to the following positions:
1. Real Estate Financing / Sales
2. Community Member At-Large
3. Citizen Interested in Special Needs Housing
The Community Affordable Housing Advisory Board was created under Commission Resolution
No. 3056, superseded by Commission Resolution No. 3540 adopted on September 16, 2002, and
again superseded by Commission Resolution No. 4948 adopted on August 13, 2018. This Board
replaces the former Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Loan Review Committee. Its
purpose is to provide recommendations to the Commission on requests for expenditures from the
CDBG Revolving Loan Fund (for housing) and from the Community Housing Fund (which is
funded through the City's General Fund); to advise the Commission on affordable housing needs,
issues, policies, and regulations; to work with the City and other groups to formulate programs
and projects for meeting Bozeman's affordable housing needs; and to advise the Commission on
affordable housing plans for annexations and any related development proposals.
The Board is comprised of seven members serving staggered three-year terms, with terms to end
on June 30 of each year. Members must be of legal age, and a majority of the members shall be
residents of the city. Non-resident members must have a tangible connection with the City by
virtue of working in the city or owning property in the city. Members must represent the following:
(1) real estate financing / sales
(2) construction industry
(3) organization supporting the availability of low- and moderate-income housing
(4) organization providing services to low- and moderate-income persons
(5) member of the public certifying that he or she is a low or moderate-income person as
defined by the City's affordable housing policy
(6) citizen with demonstrated interest in special needs housing
