Loading...
Summary
Council members confirmed the fall workshop for Oct. 23 at Mangrove Hall (Ancol Nature Center) with a theme of "Future proofing Broward County: building resilient communities through housing innovation." City National Bank will sponsor breakfast; organizers seek panelists on tiny homes, ADUs, modular construction and other housing innovations.
Council staff and members discussed logistics and programming for the Broward County Housing Council's annual fall workshop, scheduled for Oct. 23 at Mangrove Hall at the Ancol Nature Center in Hollywood.
The workshop theme will be "Future proofing Broward County: building resilient communities through housing innovation." The proposed format mirrors a previous workshop: a panel (about an hour) with Q&A followed by breakout “think-tank” sessions and reports back from tables.
Michelle Coley committed City National Bank to sponsor the breakfast. Council staff said panelists are being confirmed; Pedris Aldino was mentioned as confirmed. Members suggested topical speakers including proponents of tiny homes or modular construction, developers who build micro-units, and experts on accessory dwelling units (ADUs). Council members discussed locating speakers who can speak to ADU viability, modular/tiny-unit production and financing, and the interplay with recent state changes affecting ADUs.
Council staff said a save-the-date will be issued and asked members to submit speaker suggestions before the next meeting. The council noted the workshop does not count as a regular meeting under the charter and that the Oct. 24 regular meeting was therefore moved to Nov. 7.
Ending: Organizers will finalize panelists and circulate the save-the-date; members were asked to forward potential speakers to staff.
