HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF PARIS BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS MEETING 100 GEORGE WRIGHT HOMES August 28, 2002 12:00 p.m. SPECIAL MEETING Chairman Rick Poston called the meeting to order at 12:15 p.m. with the following Board members present: Rick Poston, Jeff Hoog, Kathleen Edge and Lillian Brooks. Also attending was Executive Director Denny Head, Legal Council T.K. Haynes. Executive Director Denny Head presented his report to the board. Denny reported that HUD requested a change to the 2002 Capital Fund. HUD informed Denny that the PHA needed to provide tenants at Jackson Court, 13th S.E., and Price Circle washers and dryers for their apartments instead of installing a laundry mat. Denny informed the board that he would not purchase washers and dryers until he received something in writing from HUD. This decision was made to prevent residents at George Wright Homes and Booker T. Washington from feeling discriminated against. In addition, Denny explained that the PHA did not have the funds to maintain these machines. REAC inspections will be held on September 11th and 12th. REAC inspections are preformed on a random basis. Units will be chosen randomly to be inspected by HUD. Notices will be mailed on August 29, 2002 to residents informing them that REAC inspections will be preformed and that their unit should be up to PHA standards. Item 3. Approval of the 2002 Public Housing Assessment System submission. (PHAS). _Denny Head explained the process of the PHAS system. Motion was made to accept resolution by Jeff Hoog and seconded by Kathleen Edge. Vote was unanimous 4 -0. Item 4. Approval of the 2002 Section 8 Management Assessment Program. ( SEMAP). Denny Head explained the process of the SEMAP system. Denny told the board that the one item that may prove to be against the PHA is the fact that we do not have a Self Sufficiency Program. Denny informed the board that it is very important to get a Self- Sufficiency Program at the PHA. A motion was made by Kathleen Edge to accept the SEMAP report and seconded by Lillian Brooks. Vote was unanimous 4 -0. The board made a decision to change the monthly board meeting to the third Wednesday of each month at 12:00 p.m. due to conflicts with board member schedules.
