Housing Advisory Board seeks $55,000 from county to continue coordinator role; RFP required
Summary
The Housing Advisory Board requested $55,000 to fund a housing coordinator position; commissioners indicated the county must publish an RFP to procure the service because previous arrangements were with a different partner, and agreed to place the procedural RFP approval on the next Tuesday agenda.
Don Conklin, representing the Housing Advisory Board, requested $55,000 from commissioners to continue funding a housing coordinator position that has supported local workforce‑housing projects. He said the amount matches prior county support and highlighted the coordinator's role in securing and managing a CDBG grant and ongoing projects such as Twin Bridges and Four Rivers Forplex.
Commissioners noted that because the county previously contracted for the coordinator through a different partner (Nurmed), the county must issue a new RFP to procure the service under current procurement rules. Staff agreed to publish an RFP and to return with responses for the board to review; commissioners directed that an RFP‑approval item be placed on the next Tuesday agenda.
Don emphasized the coordinator's role as a staffed resource for the volunteer Housing Advisory Board and noted the importance of continuity for grant management and project delivery. The board and staff will bring the RFP documentation and scope back to commissioners for approval and award.
