VII. Executive Director's Report
John made report on 41-1,41-2,41-3 & 4, 41-5 and The Buckingham
4-Plex. ,
Ed Zdenek of ZVFK discussed the Jamith Place site and presented
proposed plans. The Housing Authority has made an offer on
the land. The site is uniquely ideal for family housing,
lots of trees, isolated from the community, zoned R-N. A
survey is needed, however. A consideration for solar type
roofing will be made.
On 41-3 & 4 the Low Bidder is Anderson of Greeley. John
presented a copy of the report, explained the delay in having
an appointment with Betty Tunnel, Miles Lantz, and Joe Garcia.
A new appointment has been made for Thursday, October 11, 1979.
To make the project work there is a need to buy in lump units.
4-Plex - a meeting with the City Attorney is needed, purchase
of the lots, whether or not a corporation is needed or even
acceptable. The concern is if it will be HUD legal. As of
yet HUD has not approved. One option is for the Housing
Authority to own the units and the County subsidize Sec. 8.

VIII. Other Business
Carmen Springer -Davis has written a letter commending
Doug Parker's membership on the C.D. Steering Panel.
She is requesting a member for this year. Charlie M.,
will call Ken F., and ask him to serve.
John read three letters that HUD is requiring the Housing
Authority to send concerning fraud on the Sec. 8 Program.
A cover letter will be sent explaining that the Fort Collins
Housing Authority is complying with HUD's requirement but
that no one in Fort Collins is being accused of any wrong-
doing. A letter will also be sent to Cynthia Leon at HUD
stating this Housing Authority's objection to the generalized
approach.
The Board approved the approach that John is taking with
the letters.
