Adoption of a Resolution Amending the Interlocal Agreement with A Regional Coalition for Housing (ARCH)
a. Resolution No. 1558: A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Redmond, Washington, Authorizing Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated Interlocal Agreement for ARCH- A Regional Coalition For Housing (Dated July 1, 2010) to (1) Change the Name of the Citizen Advisory Board to the Community Advisory Board, (2) to Temporarily Allow up to Four Additional Members to Serve on the Advisory Board in Order to Enhance the Diversity of and the Breadth of Skills and Experience on Said Board, and (3) to Revise Language Throughout the Agreement Consistent with These Changes
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council approve amendments to the ARCH Interlocal Agreement (ILA) to adopt more contemporary and inclusive language related to the name and makeup of the advisory board providing advice and recommendations to the ARCH Executive Board.
The ARCH ILA establishes the purpose, structure, responsibilities, and governance of ARCH. The ILA was last amended in 2010 and has since been renewed at five-year intervals. Among other things, the ILA establishes a Citizen Advisory Board (CAB) that advises the ARCH Executive Board on allocations of funding and resources.
The CAB creates opportunities to bring community voices and perspectives to the development and funding of affordable housing, while also increasing education and awareness of housing issues in the community. In November, the ARCH Executive Board Chair brought forward a proposal to amend the name of the CAB to “Community Advisory Board,” and make other minor modifications that would give the Executive Board greater opportunities to facilitate recruitment of more diverse membership to the CAB. The recommended amendment was approved by a unanimous vote of the ARCH Executive Board. The recommended amendments must be adopted by the legislative bodies of ARCH member jurisdictions before taking effect.
