DIRECTOR'S_REPORT Brief discussion ensued regarding the Section 8 Ex. tenant who had been receiving rental assistance fraudulently. The misinformation was discovered and verified with the annual recertification. Housing assistance payments have been terminated, and a repayment contract has been signed between the tenant and the EHA. The Executive Director reported that on June 19, 1987, the EHA was reviewed by HUD to ensure the implementation of the HUD approved Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing Plans. This review was designed to ascertain the efforts taken by the EHA to meet the equal opportunity requirements of the Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing Plan and the results of those efforts. There were no findings, but it was noted that the EHA had not used the Equal Opportunity Housing Logo in some of its newspaper advertisements. The Executive Director stated this would be corrected in future advertisements. Executive Director Feinstein stated that the Rehab Loan Committee had met on Friday, June 19, 1987, and the Rehab Department is now processing more applications for various types of rehab loans because bank funding has become available. Rental Rehab has more applications coming in and according to the State of Colorado, the EHA is doing quite well and they are eager to work with the EHA again in 1988. The Baker Avenue site is currently being advertised, but to date, no applications have been received. Clean-up of the yard at the Bannock St. site has been undertaken by the CETA summer youth program participants. -2- .. -~ • • • .,.,. • • EHA BOC Regular Mtg 06/24/87 DISCUSSION_ITEMS A.

Discussion on Potential Site Acquisition of Swedish_Foundation_Proeert~---------------- Discussion ensued regarding various meetings the Executive Director of the EHA has had with the Director of Properties of Swedish Hospital to discuss the potential acquisition by the EHA of properties owned by the Swedish Foundation. Swedish would like to see any development done in two phases: Twelve properties valued at $583,500 as phase No. 1; and Ten properties valued at $490,000 as phase No. 2. It was the recommendation of the Executive Director that the EHA obtain an appraisal and then make an offer to Swedish based on the appraisal. Different types of appraisals discussed were: (1) A full appraisal which would include the floor plan, market comparison, historical pricing information; (2) A windshield appraisal which would also review the county assessors records, give a quick analysis of the neighborhood, and get market data; and (3) An appraisal which would give the cost of acquiring the units before upgrade, the cost to upgrade the units to housing quality standards, and the value of the units after upgrade <which would include the rents potentially to be received. The Executive Director reported he would need the dollar values on the Swedish units from the appraisal in order to obtain financing. He reported that he has been working with CHAFA regarding their Rental Acquisition Program <RAP>. A letter of interest has been submitted regarding this potential funding source. Also available for use are the 1987 CDBG Funds recently received for rehab in the City of Englewood. Other possibilities for funding are the use of the Rental Rehab funds, Division of Housing Funds and future CDBG Grants. The Executive Director stated that the Board of Commissioners needs to consider <1> Does the Englewood Housing Authority want to be involved -4- r ,·, • • • EH~ BOC Regular Mtg #'06/24/87 • in this neighborhood, the purchase and rehabilitation of these units; and <2> does the Englewood Housing Authority want to make available funds from Section 8 New Construction to obtain the appraisal. Commissioner Zieg stated that the EHA should secure an option to purchase in order to explore the feasibility of the EHA purchasing these properties and determine what income could be derived from these units. The Executive Director reported it was his belief that Swedish was not interested in selling the properties individually, but as a whole and having them rehabbed in two phases. ~QI!Q~ IT WAS MOVED BY BRADLEY ZIEG SECURE A PURCHASE OPTION ON TO AUTHORIZE THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO THE SWEDISH PROPERTY.

At this time, the EHA could provide some direction to the EHDC directors as to what their roles are and discuss how the EHA wants to relate to the EHDC Board.
