Th e Executive Director informed the Board that Vernon (Buddy) Lawson was placed on temporary disability effective October 1, 1987, due to health problems. Long Term Disability benefits are anticipated to begin around April 1, 1988 and continue until Buddy is no longer totally d i sabled or for 4 years. Mr. Feinstein told the Board that Buddy had done an excellent job as one of the Eng I ewood Housing Authority's maintenance wor ·kers especially laying carpet and linoleum tile. Mr. Lawson also trained one of the other maintenance worker s to do much of this work i n anticipation of his disability. The Executive Director stated that i nstead of replacing Buddy Lawson with another maintenanc e wo r ker, the Englewood Housing Authority intends to contract with a custodial firm to do routine cleaning tasks. Maintenance workers will, in the future, concentrate on preventative maintenance work. Rehab is ver y busy currently with a full schedule of families being assisted. The mobile home project is experiencing some difficulty in locating three-bedroom units at an affordable price. The City of Englewood received Rental Rehab funds in the amount of $50,000 as an allocation from the State of Colorado, Dept. of Local Affairs. In addition, the State Division of Housing anticipated that five S e ction 8 Ex. Housing Program vouchers would be provided to the Englewood Housing Authority for use in the Rental Rehab Program.

HUD _ResHonse_Letter_to_FY_'86_Audit The Executive Director explained that the letter to the Director of the Office of Public Housing at HUD responded to HUD's letter of August 24, 1987 concerning the EHA's audit for the period ended December 31, 1986. The letter to HUD advised them that the EHA had taken action to correct the six findings included in the audit for FY '86. NOTE: Letter received from the Director of the Office of Rublic Housing at HUD dated October 6, 1987, ~tated: "Based on your response, we were able to '-C't ose Audit Findings Numbers 1 through 6. This satisfactorily resolves all findings inclµded in the report." Rental_Rehab_Program_Policy_Modification The Executive Director explained that current RRP policy requires that RRP funds be repaid by all investors at a 3Y. per annum interest rate with principal and accrued interest due and payable ten ¥ears after the loan closing. It was the recommendation of EHA staff that the RRP policy be modified so that all non-profit investors legally defined as 501(c)(3) tax-exempt (i.e. WHERE and the EHDC) agree to a ten-year declining lien at a OY. interest rate repayable in the event of sale, conveyance, or other transfer of the property • The Executive Director explained that for a non-profit investor, the 3Y. would go a long way towards maintaining and rehabilitating the property; and further that since the EHA is a non-profit organization, this would be a case of a non-profit paying back a non-profit. The Executive director further pointed out that "investors" in the RRP are not likely to be "low income" and what is being requested here is to differentiate between the investors and the non-profit corporations who wish to use this program to rehabilitate rental units. The Board questioned whether the ten-year declining lien would be on only interest or on principal plus interest. The Executive Director replied that it would be on principal plus interest. Commissioner Palmer questioned why the ten-year declining lien could not be for interest only and not include the principal. The Board requested that the Executive Director supply more information on this requested policy modification for the next Board meeting. -5- EHA BOC Regular Mtg 09/30/87 VI I. VI I I.
