NEW BUSINESS

1.)

Broward County Commissioner Nan Rich

Department: Administration

Commissioner Nan Rich gave an update regarding the summit for the affordable housing pillar that she attended, acknowledged that Maude Bruce was in attendance at the summit, discussed the past & current projects she is working on, the statistics on the study for the City of Planation and the statistics from the needs assessment that Broward County conducted.

Mayor Stoner asked how, when dealing with infill, we do have some affordable housing, but most people want great new finishes, but don't want to pay the price. In the past 30% was an appropriate amount to pay in income for your house vs. 50% now.

Commissioner Rich said that is a different thing, that is cost burdened vs. severely cost burdened.

Mayor Stoner said everything has a domino effect, are there any pieces that could be a right place to start and provide a fix? How did the study determine what amount of affordable housing could bare, in capacity? Not one builder has come in asking for assistance with affordable housing.

Commissioner Rich asked about land that is for sale.

Mayor Stoner said there is very little.

Discussion ensued.

Mr. Cordova expressed his concerns regarding the start date for the rental notices mentioned by Commissioner Rich.

Commissioner Rich insisted the county ordinance has started already for all tenants that have an annual lease.

Mr. Cordova said that the average rent in Broward County is $2,800. If we consider that this should be the equivalent of 30% household income, that means these families should have and income of $112,000 per year in income. These are teachers, paramedics, police officers.. we don't have a clear picture of affordable housing. The increase in rents have been dramatic.
