Ms. Love presented the minutes from the February 22, 2001 regular meeting of the Fort
Collins Housing Authority. Commissioner Wanner made a motion to approve these
minutes. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Liley and passed unanimously.
IV. OLD BUSINESS
Ms. Love presented an update on discussions with the King family regarding their
property. Commissioner Liley reiterated that staff should continue to pursue assessing
the development, costs, etc. associated with the property. Commissioner Wanner
recommended looking at different scenarios including costing the development of a
portion of the property or including the development of the neighboring land. The
commissioners agreed that staff should remain in contact with the King family.
V. NEW BUSINESS
Rigden Farm
The commissioners discussed a rough draft of a partnership structure with Sierra Land
Corporation for the development of a parcel at Rigden Farm. Commissioners concerns,
questions and suggestions included ownership interest, controlling interest for
development, where the property is in the development review process, cost differences
between a ground lease model and a fee simple model, period of affordability, terms for
owner re -sale, price point issues, and sources for funding and expertise. Commissioner
de la Garza offered to meet with staff on the structure and to be involved in discussions
with the Colorado Housing Finance Authority. Commissioner Brady suggested staff
contact private foundations including the National Development Council. Ms. Love will
continue to address the details of these issues as well as other issues in the outlined
operating agreement and project structure.
EEOC Claim
Ms. Love explained that a claim had been filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity
Council (EEOC) by former employee Joseph Ontiveros, and that the insurance carrier
would not appoint counsel to prepare the response. She noted that the EEOC provides an
opportunity to enter into mediation, however in the opinion of two attorneys whom she
has conferred with, mediation would be unlikely to produce a positive outcome in this
particular situation. Commissioner Liley moved that Ms. Love procure legal counsel to
prepare a response to the EEOC claim and not submit to the EEOC mediation process.
Commissioner Wanner seconded this motion which was then unanimously passed.
VI. REVIEW OF MONTLY ACTIVITY REPORT
There were no questions on the Monthly Activity Report. Ms. Love noted that a year end
financial statement had been included, and that more time would be spent looking at
these figures when the audit is received.
VII. OTHER NEW BUSINESS
There was no further business to be discussed.
VIII. ADJOURNMENT
Chairperson Stenberg adjourned the meeting at 8:40 a.m. These minutes passed and
adopted at a regular meeting of the Board of Commissioners of the Fort Collins Housing
Authority, held this 19th day of April, 2001.
