Keturah Joseph, Chair, called the meeting to order at 6:02 P.M. followed by roll call and
the Pledge of Allegiance
(Cheryl Banks arrived.)
The position of Vice Chair was available. Chair Joseph asked if there were any
volunteers.
Kerry Clinton volunteered to serve. There were no other nominations or volunteers.
Roll call was taken and the vote was unanimous.
A question was posed who the former Vice Chair was.
Mr. Ramirez explained that the former Vice Chair was Kevin Homer, who sat as a
member of the local planning commission. He resigned and the Vice Chair position on
the AHAC became open. He explained that the appointment of Vice Chair Clinton will go
to the City Commission for ratification and that the terms are for three years per Statute.
He said that the Committee had met quarterly, but that the Florida Housing Finance
Corporation rules changed and they will have to meet once a year to produce this report.
He mentioned that this would result in the City receiving $350K for affordable housing a
year, and that the Committee will meet again in September.
Public Comment— None.
Chair Joseph asked if the members read the Housing Incentives sent via email and that
the Committee needs to approve the incentives so they can be sent to the City
Commission for adoption and then to the State. She said that the motion is that the
Committee recommends the City Commission approve the incentives.
