Planning Conference Room, 281 North College Avenue, Fort Collins, Colorado.
Commission members present at the meeting included Chairman Dan MacArthur,
Bill Bertschy, Tom Dougherty, Bobbie Guye, Margaret Michaux, Scott Queen,
Richard Ramirez, William Steffes, and Joseph Zimlich. Staff members present
included Ken Waido, Jackie Davis, and Mary Hile. Introductions were made for
the new Board members.
Jackie Davis updated the Board as follows:
For 1993 projects: As per FY 1993 CDBG Annual Report.
All 1991 projects have been completed.
For 1992 projects: TRAC has been told that CDBG staff cannot reprogram past
September 30, 1994, and appraisals are anticipated by that time. Fort Collins
Housing Authority has acquired houses to be moved, and that program should be
completed by September 30.
For 1994 projects: Ms. Davis outlined the programs and amounts of grants they
were awarded. Choices for Senior Living is no longer viable. That award may be
applicable to a contingency line item.
Mr. MacArthur invited public comment. Tom Sibbald invited the Board to obtain a
copy of the RFP process that was adopted by the Affordable Housing Board for
use in the CDBG process. Mr. Waido and Mr. Sibbald explained that the RFP
process utilized a system to scale applications to judge objectively how
applications met the program criteria. Mr. Ramirez expressed concern that some
programs may inherently receive biased consideration due to differing methods in
applying for grants.
A question was raised concerning the New Bridges tenancy status. Ms. Davis
stated that New Bridges will be contacted before that contract is completed.
Moved by Mr. Steffes, seconded by Ms. Guye, approved unanimously: To
approve the minutes of the last meeting as written.
Discussion was held concerning the grant allocated to Choices for Senior Living.
