RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation Concerning Escambia County Housing Finance Authority Reappointment - Jack R. Brown, County Administrator

That the Board take the following action concerning a reappointment to the Escambia County Housing Finance Authority, as requested by Patricia D. Lott, Executive Director:

A. Waive the Board's Policy, Section I, Part B 1. (D), Appointment Policy and Procedures; and

B. Reappoint Steve Jernigan for another four-year term, effective August 1, 2017, through July 31, 2021.

Mr. Jernigan responded to the General Alert posted by Escambia County's Community and Media Relations Office on the County's website from June 19, 2017, to July 3, 2017, to seek residents interested in volunteering to be considered for an appointment on the Escambia County Housing Finance Authority. No other residents responded to the General Alert.

BACKGROUND:

The Authority was established by the Board of County Commissioners through the adoption of Escambia County Ordinance 80-12, in accordance with the Florida Finance Authority Law, Chapter 78-89, Laws of Florida. The purpose of the Authority is to eliminate the shortage of adequate housing in Escambia County.

The Authority has requested Mr. Jernigan’s reappointment because his architectural expertise is important to the Authority.

Mr. Jernigan’s architectural firm, Bay Design Associates Architects, PL, is currently a subcontractor for the DLR Group, a County vendor; however, this does not interfere with his continuing service on the Housing Finance Authority because the Authority is a subordinate board that is not involved in any way with the County contract.
