The following is staff s memorandum on this item.
"Executive Summary
This Resolution establishes a procedure for the monthly meetings of the Authority and authorizes
additional persons to sign contracts and checks on behalf of the Authority.
BACKGROUND:
On November 3, 1998, the City Council enacted Emergency Ordinance No. 209, 1998, whereby the
Council appointed itself, at least temporarily, as the board of commissioners of the Fort Collins
Housing Authority. At that same meeting, the Council, acting as the board of commissioners,
adopted Resolution No. 1, appointing City Manager John Fischbach as the Acting Executive
Director of the Authority and Secretary to the Board, as well as Resolution No. 2, which established
a regular meeting date for the Authority.
By adoption of Resolution No. 3, the Board would establish procedures for its meetings and
authorize additional persons to sign contracts and checks of the Authority, as permitted by the
bylaws of the Authority. The proposed procedures for meetings of the Board are patterned after
meetings of the City Council, with appropriate modifications. One of the modifications would allow
for input to the Board by the Housing Authority Community Advisors prior to any decisions being
made by the Board.
It is anticipated that a Study Session will be scheduled in the near future to familiarize Council
members, acting in their new capacity as Board members, with the operations of the Housing
Authority. "
City Attorney Roy explained the proposed Resolution and noted that a revised version of the
Resolution has been provided to the Board. He recommended that the revised Resolution be
approved with the deletion of Section 3.
Commissioner Wanner expressed a concern that meeting times be arranged for a time certain that
would be convenient for the public and the community advisers.
Commissioner Bertschy made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Smith, to adopt Resolution No.
3 with the deletion of Section 3. The vote on the motion was as follows: Yeas: Commissioners
Azari, Bertschy, Byrne, Kneeland, Smith and Wanner. Nays: None.
