Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Chuck Winn, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: Commission Resolution 5023 adding a representative of the Human Resource
Development Council District IV, Inc. (HRDC) as Ex-officio member of the
Community Affordable Housing Advisory Board (CAHAB).
MEETING DATE: February 25, 2019
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Commission adopt Resolution 5023 to revise the structure
of CAHAB to add a representative of HRDC as an ex-officio member.
STRATEGIC PLAN IMPLMEMENTATION: This action aligns with Vision Statement 4. A
Well-Planned City, 4.5 Housing and Transportation Choices b) Develop a Comprehensive Affordable
Housing Action Plan that includes, but is not limited to:
1. Mandates the creation of affordable housing across all dwelling unit types.
2. Provides prescribed flexibility in the manner in which the mandate can be accomplished.
3. Provides a substantial, broad-based and reliable source of funding for the construction of
affordable housing and for affordable housing loans.
4. Actively encourages Bozeman’s major employers to develop workforce housing programs for
their employees.
BACKGROUND: On August 13, 2018, the City Commission adopted Resolution 4948 which
revised the structure and purpose of the CAHAB to better align with the duties and responsibilities of
the newly-hired Affordable Housing Program Manager. One of the changes made was to remove the
HRDC as a voting member. This change was made due to the unique fiscal and contractual
relationships between the HRDC and City of Bozeman and the desire to eliminate any real or
perceived conflicts of interest during funding and budgeting discussions.
Since that time, CAHAB, the City Commission Liaison, and staff have been exploring options that
would allow the HRDC to participate in CAHAB business and share their considerable knowledge
and expertise in the field of affordable housing and policy development. We believe including an
HRDC representative as ex-officio member of the CAHAB will allow their formal participation and
eliminate any perceived or real conflicts.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES: None identified at this time.
ALTERNATIVES: As determined by the Commission.
