Executive Summary
The Carlsbad Municipal Code (CMC) established a Housing Commission to advise the City
Council on housing related matters. CMC Chapter 2.40 states the Housing Commission shall
elect from among its appointed members a Chair and Vice-Chair.
Explanation & Analysis
The Housing Commission was established to advise and make recommendations to the
Community Development Commission (the governing body of the Carlsbad Housing Authority)
and/or the City Council on issues related to affordable housing. The Chair and Vice-Chair are
selected by the members of the commission. The Chair’s role is to preserve order and decorum
at all meetings of the advisory body, announce the advisory body’s decisions and decide
questions of order. The Chair is responsible for ensuring the effectiveness of the group process.
A good Chair balances moving the discussion forward involving all members of the advisory
body and by allowing for adequate public participation. In the absence of the Chair, the Vice-
Chair shall act at the presiding officer.
Any member is eligible to be appointed Chair or Vice-Chair. The Housing Commission is
comprised of the following members:

potential to cause either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably
foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and therefore does not require
environmental review.
