Mayor Bums noted it MS a very clean audit and Uiat a IOI of1ha1 is due 10 1he work oflhe Executive DireclorPaul Malinowski and U,c staff. S. Mayor Bums Slated lhat Cooncil has a press releas, this =Ing with ,qanl ID a couple of articles in the Rocky Mountain News laa week, one paniculariy on the 21"' excoriating the Housing Authority and the City ofEnglC\\'Ood for Ute housing rehab loans on the Horton pn,paty. He aid this reponor, Ann Carnahan . from t/lc Roclcy Mountain News and cspecially Scnatw Mike Colrman, Republican from Aurora. got bo I feel into this matter in a way lhat he felt MS nothing more lhan a hatchet job against the City of Englewood and the Housing Authority. He emphasized that it MS just unwarranted. He noted tlial E•eculive Director Paul Malinowski called into• talk show on KTIJ<, Uia1 those l\\'O were on, attempting 10 defend lhe Housing Authority agains1 the allegalit.u lhat were being given over the airways and also in the press . He said he heard a recording oflhis. Mayor Bums staled that \\ithin a few minutes of converulion Senator Coffman told Mr. Malinowski that be ought 10 find hims,ifanolber job, be made references in the newspaper anicle to tbc negligence of the Housing Authority, that the Housing Authority cannot account for its money. he claimed lhat a.eRight did not exist, that tbc Housing Authority is not concerned wl,cre o,e money goes and where it is used. and that tbc money for second loan on the propcny was lost . He said this was after Mr. Malinowski had attempted 10 educate them both on UM: phone and on the radio broadcast . Mayor Bums insisted that all of this is nonsense. Mayor Bums .. plained th.11 there"""' two loans on the Hon on propeny . one for SIS,4S6 in 1982 for a variety of items, this be 001ed was a grant and lhe Housing Authority has had a variety oflhese types of loans over the years. He staled tlial if lhe homeo\\11er lived in the propcny for five years the loan was forgi\-en and tlml is wliat happened on the first one . He said lhcre was an allegation in the paper on 1he second loan and implied on tl,e firs, thal Mr. Hon on had been paid money in cash and lhal he had pocketed it. Mayor Bums staled that none ofthal eve r h.ippencd . He said that tbc confusion in the rcponcr and tl,c Scna1or, as he understands it. is that when you pull permits for l"t'hab loans the pcnnittcd portion of the rchabilation is given a value . but you don 'I pull a pennit for every single thing you dispense money for in 1he rehab lo.in such as til e or carpel or paint and those types of thiogs. He said that pan of . the loan is always for i1cms that :uc no t pcnniucd. so th.it the lo.1n disbursement is always higher than the 11110U111 that you find in the building pcnnlts.
