B. Reaffirm EHA Mission Statement for 2006
Chair Thompson gave a brief history of the 2004 decision to shorten the mission statement.
Commissioner Arterburn questioned the use of the language "low income" as the new senior
development targets moderate income seniors. Commissioner Woodward questioned the use
of the word family as many of the residents will be single. EID Shepherd explained that to
HUD, one person can be a family making our mission statement consistent with the federal
definition. Chair Thompson suggested that while our mission is to assist low income families
we may assist moderate income families or individuals in order to do that. After discussion
the Board agreed to change low income to lower income in the mission statement.

C. Agency Goals and Objectives
Chair Thompson expressed the opinion that a public relations firm was no longer required for
the development of a communication plan citing our good relationship with the City,
favorable market conditions and the many improvements to the facilities in process.
Alternate Member Cullinan suggested language incorporating a strategy for collaboration and
Council Member Woodward maintained the importance of a strategy. Chair Thompson
requested that EID Shepherd draft new language to be considered at a later date. EID
Shepherd requested that Goal 3, Objective 2 should be changed to read: "EHA shall sustain
at least a 95% budget utilization rate in its Section 8 Voucher program ... " After general
discussion, The Board agreed to the change. There followed a general discussion of
Objective 3, Goal #3, and by consensus, the Board agreed to organize a Landlord
Appreciation event as appropriate rather than once a year.
