The EHA Board agreed with the intention, but there were concerns brought up by the
EHA Board that this particular parcel was purchased with housing in mind and in selling
this parcel it would loose this opportunity. In selling this parcel, the EHA Board wanted
some kind of commitment from the City to assist in an EHA housing development down
the road. Staff was assigned to look into this further.
The Board expressed strong concerns to Les Jenkins regarding the lack of progress
shown to date on repayment of the promissory notes to the EHA and the fund raising
schedule of the EHS. They reminded everyone that the mission of the EHA is to provide
affordable housing and that the Board expected these notes to be retired as soon as
possible.
