TO: All City Commissioners and City Manager:
At the Housing Authority of Commissioners Meeting Thursday, July 18, 1985,
I was instructed to expand our requests for consideration at the July 22,
1985, City Commission Meeting.
We now have three items to cover. First is the Amendment to extend the
Section 8 Rental Asssitance for two years ending August 1, 1988. This
program assists 131 elderly individuals and families with their rent in
privately owned housing. Currently about $20,000.00 per month is being
paid directly to private landlords on behalf of the 131 tenant families.
Second is payment of our Fiscal Year 1985, Payment In Lieu of Taxes (PILOT).
The payment for the year ending June 30, 1985, is $7,044.47.
Finally the Board wishes to request that the PILOT arrearage for fiscal
years 1977 to 1983 be forgiven. Our financial position is improving, to
the point that we now have a current year operating reserve of $8,909.00,
after starting the year with a deficit of $9,463.00. However, we need to
carry a reserve of $36,000.00 to be in conformance with HUD Operating
Guidelines.
The waiver of the PILOT which is in arrearage would enable the Authority
to further its efforts to improve the maintenance of the houses and to
achieve financial stability.
Sincerely,
R. Abn
Executive Director
