(a) Approval of Ordinanc es on First Reading
(i) Housing Finnn ce Specialist Grimmett presented a recommendation frorr: :i1c Cc :nmunity
Development Department to adopl a bill for :m ordinance approving the redempti on and su bseq urnt sa le of the
propeny located at 42 3 1 South Cherokee Street. She said I am here thi s evening to request your 1pproval of th e
redempt io n of a property that we have taken t-:i.ck through the Rehab Loan Program. through the forec los ure proces s,
As yo u know, when yo u are making loa ns to indiv id ual s, occa:;ionally they wi ll become dclinqu clll and the proc ess
th at any lender ha s is to redeem the property in order to recoup !h e moni es and the loans th at have bct:n given to the
individual. In many in stances. wr are junior lien holders in that process and we have been experienc ing, in the last
num be r of month s. a much large r num ber of foreclos ures than we have over the las l coup le of years. In yo ur
Cou ncil Co mmunicati on I indi ca ted 1hat we were here in 200 1 and that probnbly was the fir st 1=,:1e1 in ma ybe ten
years. th 21 we were before Council reque sting redemption of a property . So, thi s is somethi ng ~nat we have not done
very often and we are back again requesting that. This particular propeny was one where the homeown er became
delinquent on lh eir fir st mortgage , th e fir st mort ga ge initiated the fo rccl oswc process. we wai1ed throu gh the enti re
proce ss as is lega ll y required and during our redemp ti on period we did act to redee m. Subsequently. we redeemed
the property in January and requ es 1cd title be iss ued to us . We are now here requestin g that that particular pro perty
be authorized for acc epting and then au th orized 10 sell so that we can recoup the funds th at we put int o 1he property
as a seco nd mongage . Thi s will be don e as quick.ly as possible so that we can return the funds back int o the
Housi ng Rehab Fund, whi ch is fully supporting thi s. We arc not using monies from the General Fund or any oth er
program . These are monies 1ha1 have been in the Fund, specifica ll y set as ide and designa ted to act and redeem when
we need to . Th is is one of the fir st of six foreclosure notices thal I have received since Augu st. I get depressed
every wee k in an ti cipati on of my mail. And . so me of them have been succe ss full y work ed th rough where
homeowners ha ve been ab le to work with their lenders and we ha ve not had 10 ac t on th e redempti on. One othe r
case we we re ac tu all y a seni or to an o1her member ... there was a third mortgage behind us, the y acted on th eir

rede mp ti on s • we were ab le 10 ge l our fund s ba ck wi1h ou1 ha vi ng 10 actuall y take co ntro l of the property .
Unfonunate\1 I will lei yo u know now th in I will probably be back in two weeks with requests on anot her properl y
1hat we are in the process of redeeming 1h is wee k. Hopc full )', that wi ll be the la st time th at yo u will sec me. but I
still have two others pending . We arc kind of in a cri sis mode nt th is momen t and as long as we have fund s
avai lable , we will be trying to redeem and reco up the funds th at arc in th ese propcnics so lhat we ca n continue the
program. As we se ll , the monies wi ll go back in so that we can co ntinue making loa ns to the communit y and
co ntinue the Housi ng Rehab Program as il has been for well over 25 yeu rs. So, I ask Cou ncil to just approve th at
rede mpti on 111.d as my memo explains , when we do thi s rede mpti on, because of the timeliness. we ca nnot come to
Council pri or to the redempti on, because we arc on a very, very short lime fr ame . We neve r know until the very Ins t
minute whether the homeowner is going 10 be able to save the propeny and then if they cannot , then ge nerall y the
most time that we have is usually around lcn days to either decide whether we are going to take co ntrol of the
property or not. So, we have to move very quickly in order to maintain the solvency of our nssclS that arc in there
and try to recoup it bac k. So, I ask Council for permi ssion to accep t redemption and to approve sa le so thal we can
move forwa rd . She said arc there any questions? There were none.

(i) Co uncil Member Barrentine :
I. She sa id I want to say co ngratulations to Lorri and Philip . You ha ve just heard the two peo ple in th e Cit y
th at you ought to be talkin g 10. I hope yo u find En glewood a good place 10 do business wi th.
2. She said I wa nt ed 10 lei everyone know th at I am just continuall y impressed with the empl oyees of
Engle wood . One of those was Jeni who wo rked at lhe Rcc reaLio n Ccnh.~r and has go ne down 10 Nicaragua 10 work
in an orphanage . The peop le at 1hc Rec rea tio n Ce nter arc reg ularl y se nd ing dow n package s. She works at an
orphanage down there and th ey se nd sc hoo l suppli es and they do all kinds of things fo r th em. So, if yo u have an
opportunit y and yo u co me across some 1hings 1ha1 yo u would like to ha ve go dow n th ere, th ey send a pack age down

3. She said one of the mos! s1.Hisfyi ng thin gs I think th itl I have eve r done was !h e Bow l-a-T hon th at we did on
the 23rd of Ja nu ary. We had a coup le of yo un g peo pl e, Mi ke Mund s and two Na tional Hono r Society s1udents come
an d as k fo r Cit y Co 1Jn cil 's help and we started them out wi th $100.00 . I was intrig ued in try ing to hel p th em wi th
that. I think th at it is quit e an accomp lishment when yo u can go ahead and raise that ki nd of money, raise that kind
of int eres t and awareness fo r the tsunam i victims. But more than !h at, I th ink, peop le were doin g it becau se of th ese
kid s and th ei r dedi ca ti on and their commitment to go ing out th ere and workin g in the ir co mmunit y to try a nd do
somet hing th at the y thought was wo rth whil e. And I brought my nine year old so n ... and was he ever impre ssed with
Mic hael Munds , He wa s given a shirt th at that yo ung man had designed when he a id the Oklahoma City fund rai se r
•
•
and he left with an impressio n of giv ing and co mmunity vo lu nteeri sm as somethin g th at was fun and ene rge tic. It •
was an easy th ing to do. I was very grateful fo r the peop le who helped . My so n r.nd I were ab le 10 rai se $300.00.
Addi ti onall y, l want to th ank Jo n Cook and Ga ry Sea rs ... who I know ga l l,it up a co uple of times, bu t sti ll sa id yes
to me ... Dave Sp recac e who is one of our associa te judges, Gene Turnbull who sit s on the Englewood Schoo l Board,
Valley Motors and then aga in , my son. for making that such a wonderful expe ri ence.
