OFFICER REPORTS There were no officer reports. D. PUBLIC FORUM There were no members of the public to address the Authority at this time. E. UNFINISHED BUSINESS F. NEW BUSINESS Larry Nelson presented information on these properties. So far, he has been unable to see the inside ofthe duplex on 46th Place because the tenants have not been cooperative about showings. He and Henry Wehrdt have been able to see the Fenton Street property to make a preliminary estimate about remodeling costs. Use of grant funds would be necessary in order to purchase these properties. Grant money in the amount of$150,000 to be used for acquisition and $75,000 to be used for rehabilitation from Jefferson County will only be available until June of this year. The $150,000 grant has already been set aside for the Housing Authority but final approval has not yet been given for the $75,000 grant. It was moved by Janice Thompson and seconded by Kent Davis that the Housing Authority pursue a contract for purchase of the duplex at 11330 and 11340 West 46th Place and the three units on 3174, 3176 and 3178 Fenton Street contingent upon getting both grants from Jefferson County. If the HOUSING AUTHORITY February 9, 2007 - 1 - $75,000 grant falls through, then the 46th Place property would be pursued as the first option and the Fenton Street units as the second option. The motion passed 4-0. G. OTHER . There was discussion regarding whether or not the Authority should consider ways to return some of the "seed money" back to the city. .
