III. APPROVAL OF MINUTES
The Board reviewed the minutes from the June 24, 2004 regular meeting of the Fort Collins Housing
Authority. Commissioner Honn made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Sollenberger to approve the
minutes of the June 24, 2004 meeting with changes to correct "Commissioners Present". This motion was
passed unanimously.
IV. OLD BUSINESS
Northern Hotel Billing: Ms. Brewen gave an update on Northern Hotel billing, stating that we have
received checks amounting to just over $110,000, however there is still a balance due. The Northern
Hotel owners believe there is less owed than our records show. Mr. Fluharty, FCHA Finance Manager
will be working with Northern Hotel Account to resolve this issue. Commissioner Sollenberger stated that
we should request Northern Hotel pay what they believe is owed while the accounts work through the
billing. Mr. Martell will follow up with another formal request for payment if this issue is not resolved in
a timely manner.
FCHC — IRS 8038G Submittals: Ms. Brewen reported that the IRS has not contacted FCHA bond counsel
on this issue to date.
FCHA Branding/Marketing/Logo: Ms. Brewen stated Staff believes it is better to keep Fort Collins
Housing Authority's name as it is and go with "Villages" for the Fort Collins Housing Corporation. Staff
will continue to work on this project.
V. NEW BUSINESS
Procurement of Banking: The Board discussed issues related to our current general banking services and
whether it is required and prudent to request proposals periodically. After some discussion, the Board
requested staff proceed with developing a Request for Proposals. Commissioner Brady abstained from
this directive.
Procurement of Legal Services: Ms. Brewen presented the Board with a draft Request for Proposals for
general legal counsel. After some discussion the Board requested staff continue to work on the evaluation
criteria. Commissioner Davis volunteered to assist staff.
VI. SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The board reviewed the second quarter financial statements and the Corporation's revenuelcost statements
by project. Staff answered all questions.
VII. LEGISLATIVE ISSUES
Mobile Home First Right of Refusal: Ms. Brewen informed the Board that the City has posted a Rental
Licensing Survey on the Internet. Commissioner Tharp stated Fort Collins City Council is interest in this
issue in order to address health and safety issues rather than the current issues related to the "Three
Unrelateds" ordinance or nuisance violations. The Board will formally recommend that the Housing
Authority and other local nonprofit affordable housing agencies be exempt from any fees related to
licensing due to the fact that these properties are already held to very high habitability and occupancy
standards. A City of Fort Collins representative will give a presentation on this issue at the August Board
of Commissioners meeting.
VIII. MONTHLY ACTIVITY REPORT
The Board reviewed the Monthly Activity Report.
