CALL TO ORDER Chairperson Kimberly Stenberg called the regular meeting of the Fort Collins Housing Authority to order at 7:35 a.m. II. CITIZEN IMPUT There was no citizen input. III 1[i],�ullM811*1 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.
