1. Housing Authority 4 - 10
The Paso Robles Housing Authority was established in the 1940s and is a separate Agency from the City of Paso Robles. The Authority is primarily responsible for development and operation of affordable and quality housing projects within the City, including the Oak Park Housing Project and the Chet Dotter Senior Apartment Community. The Housing Authority Board of Commissioners is responsible for policy, fiscal management, and the appointment of the Housing Authority Chief Executive Officer. There are seven commissioners, who serve overlapping four-year terms. The City Council appoints members of the Board of Commissioners. The recruitment for City Council Special Meeting Agenda - Advisory Body Interviews - February 24, 2025 upcoming vacancies was for one at large commissioner and one Tenant Commissioner over 62 who must reside in a residence managed by the Housing Authority and be at least 62 years old. Only one application was received for this recruitment for the at large vacancy and it was from an incumbent commissioner. No tenant commissioner applications were received. Staff is recommending that Council re-appoint the incumbent Commissioner. Housing Authority staff will continue to seek applicants for the tenant commissioner vacancy and will bring forward any applicants as soon as possible.

2. Supplemental Sales Tax Oversight Committee 11 - 13
The Committee shall provide a forum for citizens to review and report to both the City Council of the City of Paso Robles (“City Council”) and the community as a whole on matters relating to Supplemental Sales Tax revenues and expenditures resulting from both Measure E-12, approved by the voters in 2012 and extended by voters in November 2024 as Measure I-24, and Measure J-20, approved by the voters in 2020.
The Committee has two distinct roles: oversight and advice. The oversight role is the higher priority: Paso citizens need to know whether the voter-approved supplemental sales tax revenues are being spent on community priorities established by the City Council, based on information gained from business and resident surveys and other means. At each regular meeting, the Committee shall review the latest accounting for each of the ballot measures, which shall summarize funds generated and expended. The Committee shall determine if the funds were spent appropriately, and report that to the Council and public.
The intent is for expenditures by the City in the priority areas to equal or exceed the revenues generated by the measures.
This recruitment was for two at-large full-term positions. Only one application was received. Staff is recommending that Council interview the applicant and make an appointment. Staff will return to Council at a future date with recommendations regarding the additional vacancy.
Applicants:
1. Kim Bankston

Please provide a brief statement regarding your interest and /or qualifications for applying to serve on this advisory body.:
I have lived in Paso Robles since 1979. I have been a small business owner, a real estate franchise owner, both located in downtown Paso Robles. Previously serving on the board of the Main Street Associaton with Norma Moye provided much insight into the workings of the City and the Chamber of Commerce. I have watched this town grow and have witnessed good growth and less desirable growth. Real estate sales have consumed my life for the past 35+ years. I now have the time to get involved again.
Since I have been very involved with the people in our community, I hear much feedback. I would like to be knowledgeable and be able to contribute and share the facts on issues we are confronted with in Paso Robles.
