Board members report CPR training plans and warn of affordable-housing tax loophole
Summary
At the March 19 meeting, board member Miles promoted same-day CPR certification sessions and board member Sykes warned of a tax loophole tied to a Hillsborough property conversion that staff said could significantly affect Orange County budgets.
At the start of the meeting, board member Miles announced plans for same-day CPR certification sessions that typically host 12–15 people; weekday sessions run 4–7 p.m. (two sessions) and Saturdays 10 a.m.–4 p.m.; cost is $50 per person and interested parties should contact Dr. Miles to arrange sessions.
Board member Sykes reported on a local development practice that may allow properties to avoid affordable-housing tax obligations. Sykes described a project in Hillsborough across from a Walgreens being converted from a 55+ designation to basic multifamily with 10% affordable units. Rosser said staff have discussed the loophole and indicated it could significantly affect Orange County budgets and other municipal budgets.
These updates were given as member reports; no board action was recorded on either item.
