MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Sue Hunter, Housing Advisory Board Chair
SUBJECT: Recommendation for the vacancy(s)
DATE: 1/11/22
RECOMMENDATION: The Housing Advisory Board met on Tuesday January 11, 2022 and by a unanimous vote made the following recommendation(s) to the Town Council for consideration:
• Rex Mercer, Appointment, Tenant or Homeowner
• Robert Dowling, Appointment, Housing, Planning, or Public Policy Expert
SPECIAL REQUEST(s): No Comment
BACKGROUND: Mr. Mercer understands the housing challenges this community faces from his background working with the IFC and at a local women and children's shelter; he has first-hand experience working with community members that have the least amount of resources.
Mr. Dowling’s experience as Executive Director of the Community Home Trust allows him to bring a wealth of knowledge about affordable homeownership and the Town’s Inclusionary Zoning model and policy; and his passion and advocacy for affordable housing over the years makes him a perfect match for the housing, planner, or public policy expert seat.
Note: Communications and Public Affairs notes that the Housing Advisory Board reviewed the following applications: Ming Feng, Rex Mercer, and Robert Dowling. No additional applications were received between January 11 and 19, 2022 for the Housing Advisory Board.
