VI. DIRECTOR'S REPORT
A. Narrative Report
1. Orchard Place: A new ACE Coordinator has been hired effective August 14, 2000.
Her name is Janice Fearn.
A group of residents have reinstated the tradition of monthly coffees. This had been
an activity enjoyed by many, but came to an end when the Resident Council was
disbanded.
2. Simon Center: Assessments of recurring problems with the elevator systems will be
requested from three of four different elevator companies. Once received, a
determination will be made as to necessary repairs and cost. No formal RFP will be
done. The same process will be used for repair of the fire alarm panel.
3. Public Housing Family Duplexes: Upgrades are on schedule and are almost
completed.
4. Waiting List: Waiting lists for Simon Center, Orchard Place, Public Housing
Duplexes and the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program are all open at this
time .
5. Section 8 Existing: Nothing new to report.
6. The Courtyard:. The Homeowners' Association has chosen members for their
Board.
7. AVS Student Built House 3740 S. Inca: An offer for $195,000 has been accepted,
and the property is currently under contract.
Construction of the next AVS house on the lot at 3738 S. Inca brings three problems
to light. The current plans for the home make it to big and too costly to build. Once
constructed, the sale price would be well over what is marketable for the area. It was
the general consensus of the Board to scale down the plans for the home to bring it
into the right price range-possibly reduce the number of bedrooms and deck area.
8. Normandy: Rehabilitation of turnover units is in progress. The financial statements
for this property will be presented with the Board packet in September.
9. Agency Goals and Strategic Plan: See attached itemized report .

B. Financial Report
Financial Reports for the month of June 2000 including quarterly income statements and
balances sheets by program were available for review.
C. Program Reports
Noted. Commissioner Bobeda suggested charging more rent for the upper units at the
Normandy Apartments since they have a nice view and it is typical practice in the private
sector.
VII. DISCUSSION ITEMS, MOTIONS AND RESOLUTIONS
A. Resolution Number 14, Series of 2000, Approval of Back-Up Plan for Exterior Wall
and Roof Repair at Orchard Place.
The possible scenarios for wall and roof repair at Orchard Place were discussed. If the
HUD application for emergency funding is approved in full, all four exterior walls will be
stripped and resealed, and the roof will be repaired at a cost of $552,650 . If the HUD
application is denied or only partially approved, two walls could be stripped and sealed
and the roofrepaired at a cost of $369,650. Discussion ensued regarding the gap in
available funding; $292,000 and $110,000 for the respective scenarios. EID St. Clair
recommends that the Board approve a funding contingency of $110,000 to be transferred
from the HCD fund to the Public Housing fund and be replaced by the approved
emergency HUD grant or if not approved, with future CFP funding. Commissioner
Bobeda stated that completion of the entire project was in the best interest of the residents.
If the HUD application is denied, the EHA could obtain the necessary funds by obtaining a
mortgage on Orchard Place.
MOTION
COMMISSIONER BOBEDA MOVED TO BEGIN THE PROCESS FOR COMPLETE
REPAIR OF THE FOUR WALLS AND ROOF AT ORCHARD PLACE. REPAIRS WILL
BE FACILITATED BY USE OF ALL REMANING 1999 AND 2000 CIAP FUNDING WITH
SUPPLEMENTATION BY EMERGENCY HUD FUNDS. IF THE HUD EMERGENCY
FUNDING APPLICATION IS DENIED OR ONLY PARTIALLY APPROVED, A
MORTGAGE WILL BE OBTAINED ON THE ORCHARD PLACE PROPERTY IN THE
AMOUNT NECESSARY TO COVER ALL OUTSTANDING COSTS. COMMISSIONER
LEONARD SECONDED THE MOTION.
