end
PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
Appoint citizen to At-Large position on the Dakota County Community Development Agency Board.
SUMMARY
To fulfill a federal requirement, an At-Large Board position was included on the Dakota County Community Development Agency (CDA) Board of Commissioners. The CDA, as an administrator of the federal Housing Choice Voucher and Public Housing programs, is required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to have one Board member who is a public housing resident or participant in the Housing Choice Voucher Program.
In 2016, the Minnesota Legislature approved amendments to the CDA's enabling legislation (Minn. Stat. ? 383D.41, subd. 5), to add an eighth At-Large member to the CDA Board to be filled by an eligible resident board member as defined by federal regulations and to vote solely on items related to the Housing Choice Voucher and Public Housing programs.
Eligible households that are public housing residents or are participants in the Housing Choice Voucher program were notified by mail that applications were being accepted for this At-Large Commissioner position. The mailing was sent in December 2022 to almost 2,900 households with applications due by January 20, 2023. The application was available on Dakota County's website and interested applicants could also call to request an application by mail.
Fourteen applications were received. Applications were reviewed by CDA Board officers.
