The commissioners present concurred. Members Present: Thomas 3. Burns, Chairman R. J. Berlin, Vice Chairman Norleen Norden, Commissioner Bradley L. Zieg, Commissioner Members Absent: Roger Koltay, City Council Rep. <With prior notice) Also Present: Paul Malinowski, Executive Director Mary A. Ryan, Recording Secretary STUDY SESSION The Goals review of the 1990 the 1988 adopted as and Objectives for· FY 1990 were discussed. A the 1988 Goals and Objectives in order to obtain Goals ensued. Brad Zieg stated he was happy with Goals, and it was his recommendation that they be the 1990 Goals. EHA BOC Regular Meeting 08/30/89 ' I ( . .. Discussion centered around code violations in the homes otla Englewood Citizens who applied for rehab loans. Current!~ it is the policy of the Rehab Loan Program as adopted b y City Council in the Housing Rehab Loan Agreement that code violations must be abated before any other rehab work for General Property Improvements <GPI> can be done. The Executive Director asked about structuring the r ehab financing so that code violations could be abated th 1-ough cc1. deferred-payment loan and the "cosmetic" or GPI rehab work could be done by means of a bank loan at the current interest rate available for such loans. Homeowne,-s needing both types of rehab work could receive a "blend" of t he two loans, deferred and bank loan . Thus, homeowners needing to abate code violations would receive some kind of financial help in alleviating potentially dangerous ~onditions in their homes. Commissioner Norden thought that the Rehab Loan Committee had a financing mechanism in place already with the rehab banks to provide sufficient financing in order to do "cosmetic" rehab work. Commissioners Zieg and Norden wanted to know how many ,-ehab loan applications had been "squashed" because the amount c,f money needed to bring the home up to code in order to get the rehab loan funds to do GPI was toe, much for t. homeowner to repay. Commissioner Zieg stated that if th number was perhaps three a month <as opposed to one every other year> he would feel it necessary to look at the situation more closely. Commissioner Zieg stated he was not sure he was willing at this point to commit any of the EHA's unrestricted cash resources for the purpose of doing GPI rehab loans, and he would be more willing to put funds into a type of WAND project. The Executive Director asked the commissioners what their feelings were on "land banking" and/or buying up the "wo,-st" house on the block, demolishing it, and rebuilding a new home in its place for sale to a low-income family . He stated this idea had been brought up by City Council, and he stated he was often approached by landowners in Englewood to buy their properties. -2-• EHA BOC Regular Meeting r/30/89 • • Discussion ensued regarding whether there was an adequate number of houses available in Englewood which would be available at a cost that would fit the housing market in the Englewood area. R. 3. Berlin stated that there were a number of "basement" houses in the Englewood area which could be fixed up. Vice Chairman Berlin and Commissioner Zieg felt that building new homes on vacant lots should be the EHA's lowest priority, and that the renovation of existing housing structures for sale to first-time homebuyers should become a top priority. Vice Chairman Berlin felt that the EHA should be providing decent housing at an affordable price through rehabbing existing structures. Commissioner Zieg felt that the EHA could do some "turnarounds" on houses that are in existence, i.e., the EHA could do with run-down houses what nobody else would do. The Executive Director stated that ideally the situation in which the EHA buys a broken down rental unit, tears it down <removes the eyesore> and puts up a new owner-occupied house would reduce the number of rental units by one and increase the number of owner-occupied units by one thus meeting three goals of the City Council (including removal of the eyesore>. The positive impact of removing blight in a neighborhood upon the surrounding homeowners and "pride in ownership and community pride" were discussed. The number of investor-owned rental housing units (multiple versus single) was discussed at length. The Executive Director stated that this situation was currently being researched by the Community Development Department. Discussion ensued regarding the vacant lots presently owned by the Englewood Housing Authority and what the Commissioners felt they wanted to do with them at this time. The commissioners felt that building new homes on the EHA's vacant lots should be a medium priority, and fixing up existing housing should take priority over that. It was felt that buying vacant lots for future new construction should become the lowest priority. -3- e. • EHA BOC Regular Meeting 08/30/89 • Changes made to the Englewood Housing Authority 1988 Goals and Objectives by the Commissioners for the 1990 Goals are as follow: 1.

Commissioner Zieg stated that an important discussion on the quiet-enjoyment covenant through the Englewood Housing Authority's contractual arrangement with its tenants was omitted from the minutes of the Regular Meeting held .July 26, 1989. The following discussion has been inserted in the appropriate portion of the minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Englewood Housing Authority Board of Commissioners held July 26, 1989: Tom Burns stated that a tenant of Orchard Place had told him that the turmoil caused by the two factions there created a terrible atmosphere for her to live in. Commissioner Zieg stated that there was a responsibility on the part of the landlord <EHA> to ensure the quiet enjoyment covenant existing between landlord and tenant was not violated by one or two disagreeing tenants, and that he was not comfortab. allowing a small number of tenants to create an uncomfortabl atmosphere for the rest of the tenants. Vice Chairman Berlin suggested that if the placement of the T.V. was a point of contention, then the T.V. should be removed until an agreement was reached between tenants; the same would be true for such social functions as pot-luck dinners. Mr. Zieg stated he felt he had a responsibility to fix this situation, and that he was not willing to create a "ghetto" for the majority of tenants who get along by removing the T.V. o r denying social functions such as pot-luck dinners. Mr. Zieg stated he has a covenant with the tenants to see to it that the person who is bothered by the turmoil caused by disagreeing tenants gets the quiet enjoyment provisions of his or her lease.

EHA BOC Regular Meeting 08/30/89 • • There were no visitors scheduled for the Regular Meeting of the EnQlewood Housing Authority Board of Commissioners held August 30, 1989. Neither were there any unscheduled visitors at this meeting. A. Progr•• Reports in Packet1 A. L. Zieg questioned the Occupancy Report waiting list was discussed. It was felt of paragraph No. I.e. in the Englewood 1990 Goals and Objectives addressed this CoflltRi&sioner Bradley and the size of the that the inclusion Housing Authority concern. Discussion ensued regarding the meeting that the EHA had with the City Council on August 14, 1989. It was the general consensus of the Commissioners present that this meeting went very well. It was also agreed upon by the commissioners present that perhaps regularly meeting twice a year, e.g., in August to discuss goals and objectives for the coming year and in February to analyze the progress being made on those goals and objectives and to get feedback from City Council on where they want to go the rest of . the fiscal year, would be beneficial to both the EHA and City Council. Commissioner Zieg wanted the Englewood Housing Authority 1990 Goals and Objectives sent to the Englewood City Council as soon as possible. Setting of 1990 Goals This item was covered during the Study Session of the Regular Meeting of the Englewood Housing Authority Board of Commissioners held August 30, 1989. B. Action on Rehab Loan No. 32 This item was tabled the last two meetings while additional financial information was obtained on the daughter of the recipient of rehab Loan 32. Staff needed to determine the type of loan repayment the daughter qualified for. Also, a legal question needed to be addressed. The original . Promissory Note signed by the original recipient made no mention of the deferred payment loan while the Deed of Trust did. It was determined that the Note was incorrectly prepared in 1978. The City Attorney's office was requested to give an opinion on whether the EHA had legal recourse to col lec.t the deferred payment loan • -7- EHA BOC Regular Meeting 08/30/89 The City Attorney's office gave an opinion that the EHA cou. legally collect the full amount from the Deed of Trust ev though it did not match the Promissory Note. Also, an application was taken that showed the daughter qualified as only low-income and oot very low-income; she therefore would be required to make monthly payments on the loan. Commissioner Zieg asked what would happen if the Englewood Housing Authority operated strictly by the letter of the Note and Deed of Trust. The Executive Director responded that the EHA would go to the daughter and inform her <1> because the Deed of Trust states the deferred loan became due and payable upon sale or transfer of the property, and (2) because the mother quit-claim deeded the property to the daughter in 1986, that <3> the deferred loan funds were immediately due and payable to the EHA. However, the daughter claims she does not have the funds to immediately repay the deferred loan and furthermore cannot afford to make monthly payments on the deferred loan and has requested that the EHA forgive the deferred loan portion of rehab loan No. 32. Therefore, staff has recommended a compromise (based on the financial information supplied by the daughter> which is to require payments on the principal amount of the deferred loan at OY. interest rate for 60 months. Commissioner Zieg felt it was important that the EHA shou- endeavor to stick with the rules, regulations and procedur of the Rehab Loan Program and not forgive the defen-ed loa, He recommended that the EHA follow staffs' recommendation. IT WAS MOVED BY COMMISSIONER BRADLEY L. ZIEG THAT THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF THE DEFERRED LOAN PORTION ($5,000) OF REHAB LOAN NO. 32 (HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AS "THE LOAN") BE RECOVERED FROM THE LOAN RECIPIENT'S DAUGHTER WHO RECEIVED THE PROPERTY REHABBED BY THE LOAN VIA QUIT-CLAIM DEED IN 1986 <HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AS "THE DAUGHTER">. THE DAUGHTER'S LOAN SHALL HAVE A 60-MONTH TERM AT ZERO PERCENT (OY.> INTEREST RATE. IT WAS FURTHER MOVED THAT AN ENTIRELY NEW NOTE AND NEW DEED OF TRUST BE WRITTEN AND EXECUTED BETWEEN THE EHA AND THE DAUGHTER WHICH CONTAIN THE PROVISIONS OF REPAYMENT OF THE LOAN TO THE ENGLEWOOD HOUSING AUTHORITY. IT WAS FURTHER MOVED THAT THE NOTE AND DEED OF TRUST CONTAIN LANGUAGE REQUIRING THE TOTAL LOAN AMOUNT, INCLUDING THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE DEFERRED LOAN, BECOME DUE AND PAYABLE UPON SALE OR CONVEYANCE OF THIS PROPERTY OR UPON REMOVAL OF THE OWNER FROM THE PROPERTY. COMMISSIONER NORLEEN NORDEN SECONDED THE MOTION. Ayes: Nays: Abstained: Absent: Burns, Berlin, Norden, Zieg None None Koltay The Chairman declared the motion carried. -8- • EHA BOC Regular Naeting 08/30/89 c. • • Appointment of EHDC Meaber The Englewood Housing Development Corporation <EHDC> was started in 1986. Initially, the EHA Board served as the EHDC Board. On April 27, 1987, the EHA Board me•bers resigned from the EfllDC Board to eliminate any potential conflict of interest or a piercing of' the corporate "shield". The EHA appointed three new members to be the EHDC Board: Thomas A. Dinkel, Beatrice Lane, and Searl Brier. Searl Brier resigned as a aember of' the EHDC when he accepted employment in Boulder, Colorado. The Executive Director recommended that the EHA Board discuss names for a new EHDC Board member and appoint such me•ber. The Executive Director stated that there was a corollary issue in that the EHDC Board members are appointed by the EHA Board; and if the EHA is to be keeping an "arm's-length" away from the EHDC Board, he questioned the propriety of the EHA Board appointing new EHDC Board members. Commissioner Zieg stated ha did not see a problem with this situation as long as the two boards had no members in common. Commissioner Norden stated that many housing authorities have development corporations set up f'or various purposes. "The "arm's-length" separation the housing authorities and the development corporations are supposed to maintain is being challenged. Therefore, it is very important that the separation be more than an "arm's-length", and that there be two totally separate entities where there is no appearance of a conflict of interest. Commissioner Norden felt it was important that the EHA Board discuss whether or not they were willing to take the risk of appearing to be less than an "arm's-length" distance from the EHDC Board especially if the EHA Board is appointing the members of the EHDC Board. The By-Laws of the EHDC were discussed as to provisions to remove and appoint EHDC Board members. Chairman Burns stated that it was possible that the EHDC might have the ability to simply change the By-Laws through amendment to allow the EHDC to appoint and remove its own Board Members. The Chairman stated that the EHA Board could make a recommendation to the EHDC Board that the procedure for appointing and removing members of that Board be changed to have the EHDC appoint and remove its .own members. He stated that this would even further remove any appearance of a conflict of interest. -9- ;.,. . EHA BOC Regular Meeting 08/30/89 Commissioner Zieg stated that he would like this item tabl. until more detailed information concerning the provisions the EHDC's By-Laws on appointment and removal of the EHDC Board members could be presented to the EHA Board. The Board concurred. Commissioner Norleen Norden raised another issue relative to the EHDC Board. She stated that at the last meeting of the Rehab Loan Committee <RLC>, the RLC discovered that the EHDC has applied, and may apply in the future for Rental Rehab Program <RRP> loans. She felt it was very inappropriate for the EHDC to come to the RLC and request a rehab loan when twc, of the Board members of the EHDC are also on the RLC. The RLC had never reviewed a RRP loan request from the EHDC because these loans were deferred loans, traditionally reviewed and approved solely by the Executive Director. At the June 28, 1989, meeting of the EHA Board, a motion was passed to amend the current rehab loan policy so that all deferred payment rehab loans be submitted to the RLC for review and approval pr i or to signing by the Executive Director of the EHA. The Executive Director suggested that when the EHDC applies for a RRP loan, the EHA Board review the loan request. Commissioner Zieg suggested that a separate RLC for reviewing and approving requests for RRP loans for the EHDC - appointed. Discussion ensued regarding whether the enti EHA Board should be appointed as the RRP Loan Committee, if it would be beneficial to have a selected few appointed who would then become familiar with the RRP loan process. The Executive Director stated that he would like to see a three-member committee appointed which would include himself, Commissioner Norden, and one other EHA Board member. In that way, if only two of the RRP Loan Committee members could attend the meeting, there would still be a quorum . IT WAS MOVED BY COMMISSIONER BRADLEY L. ZIEG THAT A RENTAL REHAB LOAN COMMITTEE ~E APPOINTED FOR REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF RENTAL REHAB PROGRAM LOANS; SUCH COMMITTEE TO CONSIST OF CHAIRMAN THOMAS J. BURNS, COMMISSIONER NORLEEN NORDEN, AND THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. COMMISSIONER NORLEEN NORDEN SECONDED THE MOTION.

CHAFA Financial Require111ents -WAND Permanent Financing The permanent financing for the eleven rental units of the WAND project will come from CHAFA. The EHA pledged on Saptetnber 21, 1988, to make up any cash flow deficiency from the interest earned from Simon Center unrestricted CDs. As part of th• firm commitment (final stage before loan closing>, CHAFA asked that •125,000 be set aside in a CD and designated expressly for this purpose. CHAFA requested that they be a cosigner on the CD, although for only a set period of time. It was the recommendation of the Executive Director that •125,000 of unrestricted Simon Center reserves be designated in a special account with CHAFA as a cosigner, in a mutually agreeable format, to pledge the interest thereon for any deficient WAND rental cash flow. There was some concern expressed about CHAFA being a cosigner on the CD or co-owner of the CD and thus at some time in the future having to relinquish being a co-ower of the CD. The Executive Director stated that the firm commitment letter from CHAFA was signed on August 24, 1989. The Executive Director suggested that the EHA direct its legal counsel to get with CHAFA's legal counsel and come up with an acceptable format to do a security interest as opposed to an ownership interest. If this is not acceptable to CHAFA, then the Executive Director was directed to come back to the EHA Board. The Executive Director stated that he did not have CHAFA's firm commitment letter in hand, and it was decided that this itea be tabled until the commitaent letter is in hand. E. 2107 West Baker Avenue The potential purchasers of 2107 W. Baker Avenue, James and Leigh Mauel, were rejected by CHAFA (even though a conditional approval was received from CHAFA and the lender> because their yearly income slightly exceeded the limit set by CHAFA. The overage was caused by Leigh Mauel's ~~~t-tt~~ employment which is on an "on call" status and for which there were absolutely no guarantees that the money could be made all the time. FHA criteria would not consider the part-time income in this couple's yearly income but CHAFA does. Therefore, they could qualify for an FHA loan to purchase the house but would not be "CHAFA-eligible", a condition of sale placed by the EHA Board about two years ago on this property • -11- ,, EHA BOC Regular Meeting 08/30/89 The Executive $7,000 annual must Director income have a someone and a loan. maximum income stated that there was only about .a "window" for this house between whi~ minimum income to qualify for the loan that they could not exceed for a CHAFA The sales a ssociate of the Milton Senti Company who marketed 2107 W. Baker Avenue, Miriam Senti, had cai-efully selected the marketing plan for this property due . to the many requirements and restrictions placed upon the sale. It was the professional opinion of Miriam Santi that the EHA should consider accepting the FHA loan approval since the guidelines and restrictions placed on this property by CHAFA, the EHA, and the State Division of Housing, had made this home virtually unsaleable to most families in this area of Englewood. She felt it would be extremely difficult to obtain another willing and qualified purchaser for this property in the foreseeable future. Discussion e nsued regarding the restrictions placed on the sale of thi s home set by the Board and the length of time the unit had been on the market. Commissioner Norden stated that the EHA should be aware of future sales conditions and restrictions placed on units offered by the EHA so as not to render the property virtually unsaleable to most families. The pricing of the home was also discussed so as to prevent an overbuilt home valued at $74,000 being built in. neighborhood of $60,000 properties and out of the price ran of most families in this neighborhood. IT WAS MOVED BY COMMISSIONER BRADLEY L. ZIEG TO ACCEPT THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE ENGLEWOOD HOUSING AUTHORITY'S MARKETING REPRESENTATIVE, MIRIAM SENTI, AND SELL 2107 WEST BAKER AVENUE TO JAMES AND LEIGH MAUEL WITH AN FHA-INSURED LOAN AND REAFFIRM ALL OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE CONTRACT DATED JULY 17, 1989.

FINANCIAL REPORT The Budget . Expenditure Reports for the EHA as of 07/31/89 were reviewed and discussed briefly. Chairman Burns requested that the line items and the explanatory notes relating to the line items be identically numbered in order to make referencing the not. easier. -12- EHA BOC Regular Meeting 08/30/89 • Cofllfflissioner Bradley L. Zieg questioned the Notes to Financial Statainents on Public Housing regarding legal expenditures. The Executive Director explained that a restraining order had to be obtained against the aide of a handicapped resident at Orchard Place who cauaed several problems. Discussion ensued regarding the situation. ConNnissioner Zieg asked whether or not the handicapped resident had been questioned on her wishes in the aatter ragarding her aide. He stated that he felt strongly about the rights of handicapped persons and felt that the EHA may have d•alt with this problem without input from the handicapped resident. Executive Director Malinowski stated that the tenant is responsible for the actions of his or her guests according to the provisions of the EHA's lease and could not be treated differently in this respect. It was noted that the 1988 audit is being worked on now and that the 1988 books are near completion. IX. CONSENT AGENDA Nothing was presented for discussion under this portion of the agenda. X. GENERAL DISCUSSION • A. • Commissioners' Choice Brief discussion ensued regarding the EHA's new office building. The Executive Director stated that the asbestos had been completely removed, space planning was done, the furniture plan had been developed, and the space and furniture plans had gone to the architect to develop working drawings. Commissioner Norleen Norden wanted to go on record in these minutes as stating that the Commissioners would be receiving NAHRO ballots in the mail for voting on the National offices. She wanted to be sure that these ballots were sent to the Commissioners as soon as they were received in the EHA office. She stated that Jack Quinn, Executive Director of the Pueblo Housing Authority, was running for National Sr. Vice President <President-Elect>. She stated that this was only the second time in NAHRO's history that a person from this region has run for that national office, and she encouraged the commissioners to vote for Jack Quinn • -13- EHA BOC Regular Meeting 08/30/89 Commissioner Norden also member could cast a vote for stated that in the NAHRO t:1QI!.Q~ the EHA as an agen cy national elect i c,ns .• IT WAS MOVED BY COMMISSIONER NORLEEN NORDEN THAT FOR PURPOSES OF THE AGENCY MEMBERSHIP VOTE OF THE ENGLEWOOD HOUSING AUTHORITY FOR THE TWO NAHRO ELECTIONS <1> CONSTITUTIONAL CHANGES FOR THE BY-LAWS AND C2> FOR THE NATIONAL SR.
