SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The Housing Advisory Committee (HAC) was established by the McCall City Council in 2020 to form a citizen advisory committee to work on housing issues in McCall. The HAC held its first
meeting on July 27, 2020 and the original 5 members included Pat Hill, Robert Lyons, Diane Kushlan, Nick Zello and Toni Curtis. It took a little while for the committee to identify
specific efforts but when they did, they accomplished several significant actions including but not limited to contributing to LOT applications for funding for housing, evaluation of
city owned parcels, attended housing education opportunities, supported “The Toaster” project, and the development of a Local Housing Action Plan. This committee was established by
the McCall City Council but not by City Code.
With the adoption of the McCall Area Local Housing Action Plan, there is now a clear roadmap for implementation. The top two priorities in the Plan are working with the Payette Lakes
Sewer District (ongoing) and the formation of a Housing Authority. An active and diverse group of community partners (public, private and non-profit sector) were engaged in developing
the McCall Area Local Housing Action Plan and it was recommended that this steering committee continue to meet. Three of the current HAC Board members serve on that steering committee
and can still be engaged in housing issues. Similarly, the Council will need to appoint qualified Board members for the McCall Housing Authority. Therefore, it is recommended by Staff
and the HAC Chair Toni Curtis that the City Council dissolve the HAC so staff and committee member resources can be redirected toward work on housing strategy implementation.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Dissolve the Housing Advisory Committee and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
