Paul Malinowski, Executive Director Mary A. Ryan, Recording Secretary Ray and Susan Williams were present at this meeting to ask the Board of Commissioners to allow them to make alterations to the plans of the WAND house they are purchasing located at 3320 South Pennsylvania Street. Mr. Williams stated he had five minor items they would like to have changed in the plans. The first change concerned the bathrooms. One bathroom had a fan/light ceiling fixture, the other bathroom had only a fan fixture at one end, making that end of the bathroom dark. The homebuyers requested that a fan/light ceiling fixture be installed in that bathroom to provide more light. The second change request presented by the homebuyers was to change the pocket door in the master bedroom to a free-swinging door. EHA BOC Regular Meeting 12/13/89 • change r equest concerned the fixtures. They requested that from all white to one bathroom bathroom with blue fixtures. The homebuyers' third color of the bathroom the fixtures be changed with harvest gold and one The fourth change request concerned the design of the kitchen. The homebuyers wanted to change the distance from the sink to the refrigerator and from the sink to the stove. They stated that another design problem with the kitchen was that there were only five drawers in the entire kitchen area. Mr. and Mrs. Williams presented copies of (1) a letter from ICM Mortgage stating that the Williams' loan application looked good with no problems so far; <2> a bid from Triangl~ Pacific showing the cost difference between the originally-proposed design for the kitchen and the kitchen design proposed by the homebuyers; and (3) a copy of the homebuyers' design for the kitchen which they felt would be more functional for them. Councilmember Roger Koltay stated that prior Board action was a motion to end design changes to the two remaining homes built in the WAND .project by the EH. He stated that since these homebuyers wanted to ma changes, they needed to come before the Board an request that they be allowed to make these changes. Vice Chairman R. 3. Berlin told the homebuyers the reason the EHA had passed the motion prohibiting design changes was that in the past numerous design changes to the WAND units had ruined the integrity of the program and rendered the EHA custom builders when being a custom builder is cost-prohibitive. Councilmember Roger Koltay stated he was not in favor of telephone polls because they did not present the opportunity for discussion among the Board's members. However, at this point of this meeting there was not a quorum and thus no vote could be taken on the Williams' request, so he would conduct a phone poll to determine if the requested changes could be made to the house at 3320 South Pennsylvania St. -2-• • • • EHA BOC Regular Meeting 12/13/89 Mr. Williams' fifth instead of drywall out of the drywall. request was that drywall screws nails be used since the nails pop Mr. Williams also requested that a second window in the kitchen be framed in for completion at some undetermined point in the future. Mr. Williams stated he had talked with the City of Englewood Building Dept. who stated that this would present no approval problems on the design. Mr. Williams stated the Building Department stated this change would not require going back to the architect to be redrawn. R. J. Berlin asked who Mr. Williams had talked with at the Building Department, but Mr. Williams did not have that information with him. Shannel Lorance, homebuyer at 3369 South Pearl Street, spoke to the EHA Board of Commissioners about problems she was encountering getting the warranty items completed at her home. She stated that she felt the program was a good one, but because of the newness of the program there were still "bugs" in it. She expressed her frustration at the number of items which were still not remedied after more than a year of living in the home. Kelly Carr, homebuyer at 3367 South Pearl Street also expressed her frustration over the number of items still remaining unremedied by either Creative Living, Inc. or the EHA after more than a year. William Carr stated that they had friends who were contractors who stated that the house was well-built. He stated the warranty repair problems need to be resolved. Councilmember Erica Byrne asked whose warranty the houses were under. The Executive Director responded. Executive Director Malinowski stated he agreed with the homebuyers and was also very frustrated over tpe situation. The Executive Director stated he felt Creative Living, Inc. fell down substantially on the warranty work. He gave some background on the situation by stating that the original punchlist was about 200 items at closing. The EHA had no problems with the items on the ponchlists. He also reminded the board that they had discussed suing CLI in the past over their noncompletion of the warranty items. A contractor was hired a couple of months ago to complete the warranty items, but the contractor hired had gone out of business. The Executive Director stated that the warranties will be extended until the original punchlist items are completed. There were also procedural steps that had to be followed such as giving CLI written notices with time deadlines to make corrections. CLI usually would fix just a partial number of items. -3- EHA BOC Regular Meeting 12/13/89 Commissioner Zieg stated that the EHA should fix the~ houses at whatever the cost. He stated he wanted to empower the EHA's Executive Director and staff to get these problems fixed. The homebuyers asked the Executive Director to come to their homes and walk through them to see the problems which needed correction. The Executive Director agreed to do this. William Carr also presented a request to have the basement stairs altered in order to qualify for the 210 Warranty obtained by other WAND homebuyers from a third-party company. The commissioners present agreed to do this. Commissioner Zieg stated he wanted the warranty repairs done in 30 days from the date of this meeting. (NOTE: Since Commissioner Zieg was present at the meeting at this time, it was decided to review the requests of Ray and Susan Williams regarding changes to the design of 3320 South Pennsylvania Street, and make a decision on whether or not to allow such changes.) Discussion ensued regarding the changes requested by the homebuyers of 3320 South Pennsylvania Street. Commissioner Zieg stated that the homebuyers had contract with the EHA and that the EHA owned the house until closing. Commissioner Zieg stated that the EHA must have the most generic and therefore the most saleable house possible in the event the sale fell through. The original plans for this house and the plans presented by Mr. Williams for changes were viewed by the Board. In all, Mr. and Mrs. Williams requested seven changes as follow: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Erica Byrne, City of Englewood City Councilmember, was present to discuss with the EHA Board City Council's view of housing in Englewood as opposed to the EHA's view on housing in Englewood. She stated that one of the things City Council was concerned about was supplying a diversity of housing stock in Englewood . -5- EHA BOC Regular Meeting 12/13/89 Byrne stated that Urban H~mesteading was. of City Council because they do not want welfare buying homes and not caring for reducing the value of housing stock in Councilmember not a goal families on them thus Englewood. Vice Chairman Berlin stated that the rental Housing Quality Standards followed by the EHA were much more stringent than most landlords. He stated that one of the things the EHA is doing is creating housing opportunities for low and moderate income families. He stated that the EHA feels one of the contributions it makes to Englewood is the close monitoring on the upkeep of the houses rented through the various programs administered by the EHA. Executive Director Malinowski said that the diversity of housing supplied through the EHA is exemplified by the WAND project in that there are eight houses with different combinations of numbers of bedrooms and bathrooms. Vice Chairman Berlin stated that it was more difficult for a family to finance a four bedroom, two bathroom house on a low or moderate income. • Commissioner Zieg said the goals of the EHA were to stabilize neighborhoods, improve existing housing stock, and provide housing for low and moderate income families. He further stated that the EHA also wanted IV. to reduce the number of families on its waiting lists. Councilmember Byrne asked if the EHA would look at the entire Englewood community and try to not build the type of houses which are already in abundance in the city, i.e., two bedroom, one bath homes.

Adoption of EHA/WHERE Loan Agreement for Rehab Loans. In the past, CDBG funds have been awarded to the City to support an alternative relocation program with WHERE, Inc. to replace mobile homes within their three parks located along South Santa Fe Drive. The program was designed to provide home ownership opportunities to the residents of the parks with the new owners making rehab payment. directly to the EHA. Due to the high turnover rat of the residents, this approach was abandoned. Several months ago, representatives of WHERE came to the EHA to discuss a municipal leasing program. At that time it was brought up that there has never been a rehab loan repayment agreement in place with WHERE. 3anet Grimmett worked with the City Attorney's office to prepare a proposed loan agreement which calls for partial monthly loan repayments with the balance due as a deferred payment loan. In order to continue the alternative relocation program, it was decided to make WHERE a loan to be used for this purpose and have WHERE be responsible for the servicing of the loans to the homeowners and make one consolidated monthly payment directly to the EHA. WHERE would be allowed to charge a 1% administrative fee to offset their expenses. Discussion ensued regarding the total payment the mobile homeowners would pay to WHERE. Also discussed extensively was the life expectancy of a mc,b i le homes versus the 1 i fe of the loans on these. mobile homes and how this would affect the payback of such loans. -10- • • • EHA BOC Regular Meeting 12/13/89 Lengthy discussion ensued concerning different . ways to make this loan agreement compatible with the life expectancy of the mobile homes, the transient nature of the mobile home park residents, and the CDBG funding of the rehab work done on the mobile homes. ~QilQ~ IT WAS MOVED BY COMMISSIONER ZIEG TO APPROVE ENTERING INTO THE LOAN AGREEMENT WITH WHERE, INC.
