DIRECTOR'S_REPORT to attend the Regular Authority Board of The Section 8 Voucher Program was briefly discussed. The Executive Director reported that ten vouchers had been leased up to date and he expected that all vouchers should be leased within the three-month period of time allowed to do so. Chairman Burns asked about the new office space for Section B, and a brief discussion ensued regarding its status of completion. The Executive Director reported that the telephones and furniture for the new office had been ordered and should be delivered within the coming month. The E x ecutive Director reported that the Housing Authority is beginning to become involved with various landlords/investors i n the Rental Rehab Program. It was explained by the Executive Director that the EHA had received an allocation of vouchers to go with the Rental Rehab Program. In a situation where a qualified voucher recipient resides in a unit to be rehabbed, there is nothing contractually requiring the Voucher recipient to stay in the rehabbed unit --the Voucher doesn't stay with the unit. Some landlords/investors want the EHA to supply a voucher recipient to rent a vacant unit rehabbed under the Rental Rehab Program, and the E x ecutive Director explained that this was our responsibility as long as the unit meets HQS requirements. Executive Director Feinstein reported that the Englewood Housing Authority Rehab Loan Program is being computerized. Requests for Proposals, Instruct i ons to Bidders, Specifications~ etc., are being put on the computer before the program is put fully into effect. -2- • • • • • [:.,·,glewc,od Housing Authority Board c,f Commissioners Regular Meeting -January 28, 1987 • • VI.

It was suggested by Commissioner Zieg that these documents be reviewed by the EHA 's attorney for possible problem areas such as: 1. Violations of state statutes. 2. Possible omissions of items necessary for a "good" lease as the proposed lease was developed by merging different leases. 3. Lockouts and their statutory legality. 4. Wording to protect the EHA since t his is a bilateral agreement.
