    Right So on page five close session where it refers to Commissioner cyber as vice president we need to change that to buy up to Commissioner in both of those references in Section Five. And then again on page nine in closed session where it refers to Commissioner Williams as seconding the motion to adjourn that should say Commissioner cyber if Mr. Commissioner Williams was not present. Are

    there any additional changes to the minutes? Yes on page nine oh, where it says 13 million as to be 3.6 million.

Is there any further discussion? Seeing none, all those in favor? You just sign a voting aye. pose those have the thing right. Motion carries. All right. This is there will be an opportune opportunities for members of the public to provide comments to the board. The first opportunity is now when any member of the public may comment on any agenda action item. Comments is limited to three minutes for individuals and five minutes for group representatives. To ensure speakers adhere to the time limit the timekeeper will give a One Minute Warning for persons with three minute comment period and a two minute warning for persons with a five minute comment period. This morning will will be by means of a tone when the speaker's time is up the speaker the timekeeper will disconnect the call or put them on mute or ask them to sit if they are in public. Later there will be another opportunity for coming comments on the matters unrelated to agenda action items, members of the public must sign up in order to address the board during either public comment period. I don't believe we have anyone that is signed up to continue with this

    that continuing

    so with that no one has signed up just for record of those that are on Zoom and may not have heard that discussion. Um, so therefore we're going to move on to the action items within our agenda. So, Madam CEO, do you want to start with resolution 3216

    This is the addition of the fiscal year ending June 30 2023. Or fy 2023. financial audit by Kent ramse LLC 3216. Another presenter, to tee it up is our CFO, Louis Joseph, thank you so much. It is our privilege to come before the board and staff to present plant Moran representing being represented here today. Or at least a hard road partner and Jenny Panko, the senior manager and their entire team they did an amazing job.

    There appreciate their hard work, and they're here to present us.

    findings on audited financial report for the fiscal year ended June 30 2023. So

    we appreciate leading coming here. Okay, thank you.

    So thank you for giving us the opportunity to present here in person. My name is Lisa Vargo partner at pentagram in the house and community development group with me is Jenny Koval, Senior Manager in our housing community development group. So we're going to take a few moments and talk about the audit process. So first of all the audit process the way it goes. We come here in person we probably spend about three or so weeks working through assessing controls we go through and we we've worked through assessing the crop controls in both the finance department and working through assessing controls and compliance in the single audit work with which Jenny is going to go through a little bit more in detail. All in all, what we do is our role is to be able to compile financial statement audits. Also the single audit audit, which Jenny is also going to pull through and the end of audit better for us to be able to provide three deliverables. A lot of work goes through that. So we want to thank Luke Neva and the entire business office in order for us to be able to pull that together. Overall, the financial statements are management's responsibility. Our responsibility is to put an opinion on the financials in the single audit. The first page of the financial statement is an unmodified opinion. So the unmodified opinion is the highest level of assurance that we can provide that your financial statements are materially correct. So we can get the highest level of assurance that we could provide, also known as a clean opinion, so congratulations. That's the best opinion you can get on your financials. As we've done in the past, we're going to just take a real high level look at financial statements, the financial statements all in all are presented in two columns. Your first column in the financial statements are really your primary government. That's really the activity of your housing authority or your house and permission yet your primary activity. The second column is what we refer to as your district because active people maintenance, those would be the component units that really fall under what we refer to as the SP 61. Those would be your the entities that we refer to that you would have a financial burden or things in which you have things where you approve their budgets, but you don't fully control them so we don't blend them in with your primary government. So both of them are recorded as part of your your government and are included in the basic opinion in which we are claiming the financial statements account overall there has been no new Gatsby's this year. The lead new Gatsby that we did have to consider implementation this year was Gatsby 96 Gatsby. 96 would have been similar to the new gafi leases last year, but it would have been in the lease the software. So there was not a lot of implications this year to that to the housing authority to ensure the Housing Commission and so there was no even antecedent impact on your financial statements for next year. There is a new Gatsby that we'll have to consider related to compensations. So now you might see some impact with financial statements for next year. The only other item to point out to keep their attention to would be in financial statement number four, getting to the property and equipment footnote page 31. There continues to be a disclosure for potential liability related to the eagle soil remediation. So that we continue to report that there is an unknown potential liability for that we continue to disclose it and as the information becomes available to us, we'll disclose that as that information becomes known, but that I'll turn it over to Jenny to report on the single audit.

    Thank you, Lisa. So the second deliverable that you would have received it has the title federal awards, supplemental information that is your single audit or the audit of your federal awards. And within this deliverable, there are three different report letters. That first letter is just a report letter on your Sefa saying that it's materially correct in relation to that the basic audit that we still talk about. Your second letter is the letter on internal controls. This letter explains that we assess your internal controls we don't issue an opinion on internal controls, but if anything came to our attention during the audit process in the financial statements or the federal programs, it would be in this letter. So there are we're happy to report there were no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in your internal controls report in this letter. And then the third letter and this is the report letter and the major program that we had test. So when we determine the major programs, we have to go through a risk assessment of the federal awards that the Commission received and this year, the program that was tested was your housing choice voucher cluster or your section eight. And within that letter, it would explain that we issued an unmodified opinion on this program or at least I mentioned an unmodified opinion is a clean opinion on the program. There are three findings that were noted during our testing. The These findings are detailed in the back of that report, but what they really were surrounding was the timeliness of your annual recertifications the performance of the annual leave certifications. And then also the third finding was around some calculations within that. The Housing Choice Voucher not going to go into specific detail but they are detailed out in the back of the report letter we've discussed with management and they'd have a chance to review and respond to those findings as well and everyone was in agreement for that. The last item I'm going to go over is that third deliverable, Lisa mentioned so that is the end of audit letter. It's the been letter that was stapled together. And what this really is is this is just our required communication as auditors to deliver at the end of the audit. It states what our responsibility is. So as we previously mentioned, it's to express an opinion on the financial statements that those are materially presented. It goes on to explain that we've reviewed your internal controls but we don't express an opinion but like I previously mentioned, if there was anything that we think should be brought to your attention, it would be in that report letter in the single audit. Essentially, what this letter is doing is at the beginning of the audit, you were sent the planning letter for the audit, it's it's closing the loop on that planning letter. saying everything went in accordance with our audit plan. If there anything significant findings that would be detailed out in this letter, any difficulties with management or disagreements or audit adjustments that had to be made would be in this letter. The one I did want to point out in the letters there's a section on accounting estimates. And the most sensitive estimates that are included in your financial statements would be the amounts that are recorded for your pension liability. And that's just based on actuarial actuarial data. So that is an estimate within the financial statement, as well as like Lisa mentioned that the disclosure with the soil remediation with Eagle since that is an estimate at this that's that's basically it for this letter. If there's any questions we'd be happy to take them as well.

    Any questions? All right.

    Let's see. No questions. We have resolution 3216 before us accepting an audit report for the housing commission.

    I'll move it.

    Thank you.

    For the board.

    It's been moved by Commissioner cybernet seconded by Commissioner Williams that we accept the audit report for the trade Housing Commission for the fiscal year 2023. Is there any further discussion?

    Yes, Madam Chair. I'm sure that the nation comes the ability for us now to send this on it on to hurt us.

    Thank you for that point of clarification. Anything else

    suffered or you? We know about the recertification issue that rank calc missed or was new to me any we could spend money, anything on that federal award supplement that's gonna cause us issues when they're submitted.

    No, I think for us the red cow is you all the housing specialists went to record our training in August or September, August in August. So and they will pass we require an add score of 80 or above. And all of those people did pass with 80 or above. And so that was a refresher. They do every three years. And that what's going to do that so we believe that that finding that has been satisfied, we will continue to refreshers.

    Do we want to audit? You know, draw our own sample from time to time and audit our five so for anyone who had a thermal it assuming that

    yes, we do a house inspection

    sure that we are either catching a problem at the beginning of providing training and work is ongoing.

    Washington is to see if there are any

    faster that's about it. Any other questions or discussion? Seeing none, all those in favor of accepting the audit report.

    I oppose. Motion we carry. Thank you so much. Moran, Lisa and team for all your hard work. And you are more than welcome to say and or relief up to this point. Thank you for your time.

    Appreciate your hard work.

    Right moving on to resolution 3217217

    is the introduction of the annual schedule a regular meetings of the board of commissioners with Detroit housing

    and that is attached to this packet. Show that you're leaving the fourth Thursday of every month with the exception.

    Number and December during the Thanksgiving. Holidays. December's your pleasure. For the night. We looked at a little league Walters design

    all right. Do we need to decide that today?

    Now you do not have time so we'll end up modifying the posting and then once you finalize what that update is.

    So I think the one thing that we're going to establish it from the senator I'd like Mr. President's

    um, yeah.

    So his point of order for me so that if it's not approved and if it is needed, it has to be through the February meeting and then we'd have 10 days without approval. That Correct.

    requires that we approve it at our first first regular board meeting for this year. So that's under the Open Meetings Act. So we need to approve it. We can modify it as needed. So

    it'll be approved as it is right now with 12 or 19. Yes.

    Because it's our schedule. We create our schedule. It's not mandated by law, but we do have to have a schedule posted so the public will know that what days we are meeting

    I'm just a question or maybe a comment on May 23. Is kind of close to Memorial Day so I'm not sure

    what day is usually just December November because of the Thursday's okay.

    So so are so just to be clear, we're asking you to approve this as presented. And at the next appointed meeting, we will revise or amend the schedule for December once we've got the input of all commissioners. As it pertains to December 19, or the club. Is that over time? Yes.

    Thank you.

    Any further discussion? I'll entertain a motion or been moved and seconded that we approve the schedule for 2020 fours regular meetings, as presented. All those in favor? Aye. Any opposed? Motion carries. All right, moving on to resolution three to one eight. And this is pertaining to personnel policy manual 20 includes all the holiday policies.

    Right? This is what Amantha holiday policy to include. David, human resources managers here

    the staff recommends adoption of Resolution three to one authorizing officer or designee to amend the holidays policy in the personnel policy manual to include June teams as a

    nurse

    could have heard a report coming from HR manager

    motion support props are motion to medicine. Motion to approve. Is

    it properly moved and seconded that we approve resolution 3218 Holiday policy is further any further discussion. See none all those in favor? Aye. hos motion carries. All right.

    Resolution 3219.

    This is a resolution to approve for your approval to execute change order number one for a time only extension to contract 3090 CGI contractor Services LLC lead based paint reduction and unit renovations of 10 Scan site units in the portfolio and presenters MATLAB started to capitalize on construction work

    as I'm here asking approval to execute change or one time only extension to contract 3090 with CTI contractor services or lead based pain reduction in units of 10 scattered so the units are the contract was entered into and approved for 270 calendar days that a current contract completion of May 11 to 2024. I'm here today asking for time extension 174 days to take the contract completion date to November 1 2014. board at the beginning of this contract when it was signed, it was 10 Standard Sites, only one of which were made so we had it occupied. The channel come to this is where for some relocation whether it be permanent right sizing, rent undo or temporary relocation of the residents because as a part of the state of Michigan laws you're not allowed to do lead abatement two weeks ago while it is occupied or around fled regulations changed about four years ago, where you can no longer do windows and those type of activities from the exterior. You now have to do the entire unit for about eight minutes and then potential relocation there are reading habits. So this time I'm asking for a time only extension. There is no funding attached to this. So when you can relocate the 10 Nine occupied units to be outlined.

    Commissioner she's part of the report coming from Mr. Lynx 43219 What's your pleasure?

    I'll move it and then I got a question.

    That's boring

    discussion.

    I'm gonna have to translate this back to you. So the my original read on this as I thought that is a very long extension for struck me as should not be so time consuming or hearing is that is driven by the relocation like surely by tenant, convenience and like pretty people tactfully and Correct.

    Correct. And as a part of these units, there's also extensive renovation work. It's kind of what it is, is beyond the mediation. So we are bringing them back to extenders required to act but even though you are correct, it is about you know, the residents and you know, attending to their needs and started with patient. So it's both but mainly, yes.

    So, how long how, how long on average, are these folks going to be out of their primary residence?

    So most of these residents will probably be doing permanent relocation to another unit for REM resident issues I would have to defer to the director of REM for the type of research relocation, those types of issues and write or read sighs I don't think

    morning Anthony Watson dumper families who are as we would say in industry all behind me looking so somebody whose families have been in their homes 2020 30 years that family now, position are at a point where perhaps we may be able to accommodate another family use it. So yes, some of these families will be a permanent move in we're trying to be sensitive to the family. Some of these families have seniors, you know, multi generational living in their home. So, we've already notified the families. We've already done offerings for families who are moving and doing so some of them will be out of their existing home

    if they agreed to this Yes.

    Thank you any other questions? Commissioners? No further discussion? All those in favor? Aye. Any opposed? Motion stuck here. Thank you. Motion 3220

    This is a resolution to authorize DHCS submitted a request to HUD special application center for an amendment approval to dispose of eight acres of land at Garden NuFACE residential housing development. This is resolution number 3220 and a liquidation engineer is Angela Jackson, who's the manager and clients that are project managing, getting rid of city development

    more real estate development environment changes application per se. So the men in the garden can do revitalization plan to eight acres of land that was previously planned or someone's thinking about residential rental and or wants to hear this and this will contain an area of residence resolution at 302. And let me just point out one thing that this is one off option of our before to the border instead of temperance talks about the development of a neighborhood plan. We talked about the inclusion of a Sunday started to say that a interactive flyers show up on site and this is just a set up for that one. Would you shut it down? already know there's been a preposition ON qualifications for the development department in the states to help us to develop those that are one out see

    and we're going to send it to bed that's where the sending responses back by. We plan to present whatever our choice is to the back to the board. That's the time

    so as I understand the resolution, it's the authorization to submit to how they prevail. But when we see the ground at least come back to us for approval or what we're gonna see the My only question is really on the duration on the 50 year plus the 310s and slightly interested to know what termination rights was may have on that what's my right for the tenant what's not 50 years a long time. Plus 310s is just how I read that. So are we going to are we going to see the final ground lease for pool before comes back to us or first once the application done. That's the last word to see of it.

    So

    the balance presented or at least is that and I thought we might use our property but it is yours in order to make, or to maintain the wonderful features to make sure that whoever we receptors bind to maintain and comply with our affordability. this year so just 50 years.

    Every one of our rounds is put on the property to make sure that whatever the providers live all of our all of our environments to cancel the rallies to buy back the property we need to buy the improvements on the property. It gives us an easy automated install and sustainability to coordinate

    this it's helpful

    to get a yearly grounding, to be able to do more development, or more rehab or whatever we need to do.

    So that's the one aspect that I'd love to see as we continue to talk about being fiscally responsible, right and understanding our financial position and putting us in a much better financial position. I'd love to see when we start to to to look at you know, ground leasing and taking properties that we otherwise how that economic impacts of this phone from an economic perspective, right and making sure that we're maximizing our partnership in any sort of land that we own. So at some point, I'd love to see this I know this is micro, but how it impacts the bigger picture we'll

    get to that point. I'm gonna say my question again, my understanding is we're authorizing the DCA to publish the Request for Qualifications I'm sorry, where did that to put this to hide for approval? We're going to see the responses back at the February meeting. We're going to end up having to review and approve those right from reading the second letter

    is made by the top of the panel will come back before

    then, and then they'll enter so then they're selected and then there'll be a negotiation around it from

    those cases and pointed out

    that that ultimately the final deal will have to come back for all right, that's sort of three stuff that we're at

    the board and then it goes to the

    Okay, just trying to try to identify the price here. We're at getting the HUD okay to sort of enter into the thing. We'll get the we'll get the RFQ responses back the selection panel, make recommendation, we'll approve. And then we'll get we'll have one more look at this. When we get to the final deal after it's been negotiated by staff. Okay. I just want to make sure that we're clear on what that process

    is. Okay. Right and in in that process where it's appropriate, but it's also include the financial,

    you'd expect this part of at least the final presentation. If not, you get an indication of the fiscal impact. That the SEC

    when you see the deal, rise out whether it's going to present value around these payments whether over time whatever that means. So you can see what's the best option for DMC going forward in short and long term VC and that comes with each deal that we will talk about.

    On the question on the duration I'm with you, we kind of see on this affordability deals, right long term restrictions, etc. Those are tax credits. But is it our intention that our ground lease term is the longest restriction, longest duration restriction on the project? Or would we be coterminous with the low housing tax credit extended use period or the senior tax purposes into these these projects? Is it our intention to be the longest duration hold or would we plan to be coterminous? I would think you'd be coterminous with whatever the financing plan was.

    We should because the steel plays out we need to figure it out.

    I'm not against

    I get that I think I'm gonna ask the same question that he was asking is What permission perspective but also, what's the long term fiscal impact for us, right? Would we want to think about a repositioning of the project after let's call it a 30 years duration? I'm trying to think about future boards. You know, what, what is the trade off?

    When in terms of affordability,

    you'd always line up to whatever the longest duration is on the on the capital plan. And then the question is, is there a reason to exceed that and when do you what are you getting for that trade off? Okay, well, we don't have to answer that. Now. That's

    a number of questions for Mrs. Jackson saying none of them are put in motion. Thank you. So properly, moved by Commissioner Seibert, and seconded by Commissioner Williams that resolution 3220 The approved all those in favor. You're just on voting. Right? motions. Okay. Thank you, Mr. Jackson, our resolution 3221.

    This is an approval of eight contracts with six contractors for environmental and geotechnical Services Agency. Wide. And again, the presenter is Mr.

    Chief Executive Officer or designee to enter to for Environmental Services contracting or geotechnical services contracts.

    So there is a water each contract the amount of time exactly if

    you were to backtrack and if you go down to your page a lot of cities are listed for each type of service. It is very working within those organizations that do the day one BA in the phase two very well. We have very well. We want to be able to get with them right away when it's time. For instance, with argument's sake we're going to have to work to pay to have the space on their side we want to

    keep our time on

    the idea to issue task orders these contractors on board even though the task orders are leaving yet from a couple of them. The cost is in the room we have a better Tiger competition and cost savings if possible, by asking the same kind of set of contractors to do phase one, what how much is it going to cost us to do that at this particular property, and we can walk across the street when we need to to have those kinds of services provided on the same geotechnical, which we have found is there. Evil at the state level is really wanting us to do deeper dives, in terms of what's in the surface.

    You are speaking to what I think my two questions were going to be. So are these setup basically like retainer contracts?

    Yes, yes. I think you know, you want to sorry.

    We don't call them that. But yes, we do offer professional service agreements here. So we do it in capital window for architects, architect architects, construction management and environmental as well. So yes, that's what these are, but we don't

    call them so. So there are professional services contracts will have some environmental work that need to be your site assessment work that'll need to be done. We will then functionally bid it between our retained contractors to see who is getting us the best price under that retain contract by project my understanding that right yes, we

    can get yes we can get quotes respectively from each one because we've done the RFP to already put them under a contract so we will be getting quotes for task orders

    to do the work that code so we're functionally like reserving capacity and someone forcing a little bit of competition between groups because we've got them under retainer, which kind of requires them to respond to the individual project bids that we might do a site assessment visibly might do. Correct

    and in the fact that there are professional services. We've already pre qualified them for ability competencies, you can expedite the

    bid or whatever. Okay, and then second, you know, like this has been a massive thorn in our side, right on the environmental side between eagle and B seed, and everybody else yeah, so we have confidence in these four firms that they're going to meet separate qualifications and what eagle is going to look for what PCT is going to look for, what HRD environmental compliance, we were comfortable with this constellation of folks that they can get our numerous constituencies satisfied. Yeah, that's okay. That makes me feel much better because that's been a

    it's sort of a slow slog, but at least this is vulnerable. And this is across the board, Grol, VHC threats.

    And you including departmental, so it's AMS, side by side and departmental as we So yes, it's the agents.

    Matt, how you going to evaluate these beyond just cost? I mean, the thing with a retainer contract professional services contract, I would think that you would want to evaluate this, I assume, so these are two year arms are three year right? With extensions. Correct. Do we have an out clause if they're failing to be responsive or you know, they're providing us bids that are non competitive, so

    we still do an evaluation we would do it the way we do all the other evaluations will collect all proposals, we make sure to cover all the scope of work on the specifications, timeliness and responding. And then obviously price, if something if one of the tasks is not being completed not being delivered as needed. We have every hour we have like every other time, we can notice the terminate you notice quit and then just choose to not accept they're not coming in correctly, and meet all of the needs of the agency and then just not re up. Basically, when we have a task order. It's no different than any other Pio except for we've already pre qualified their qualifications and their ability to do the work. But we still don't have all the other languages. So it's just like any other Pio that gets issued for for work.

    And those those two extensions are those at our discretion correct.

    And I just want to make sure I am reading this right. So for contracts to fit Max 250 $8 million is that million dollar was that $250,000 Just for the total three years or is it an annual but my understanding of this right?

    Sure. Yeah. Okay. Yes, page we see a little bit of background on page 37. I mean, it does say a mapping or exceeding an amount not to exceed a speech for three years terms.

    I just want to make sure that that wasn't true that if he said a year then that's fine. We're committing to some budget years where

    we've got to evaluate where we are. Okay. All right.

    Any other discussion? All right, seeing none. I'll entertain a motion to approve. Thank you.

    For

    the move by Mr. seconded by Commissioner Williams that we approve. Resolution number 3221. Although some famer and the house motion, it's up here. Thank you again. And Angela. Oh, back up again. All right. It's your show, I guess. Three two to two.

    Yeah. So this is optimizations, this position application for land at the villages of the park side. And this is personal 123 and four to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development in preparation for the total development of the sight again and missing.

    So this is more of a prior resolution the bat to procure and select the nozzle the development and development of an entire site all listed in his letter here in cases for each trade because the owner is the developer, which gates he will be checking in a member of

    Congress and on our entities the valley's housing regulations it's an apples to see what the villages are. It's good to have.

    them

    any question under the session here? So summer to service.

    Little confused here, but this was already taken care. So we just said right. So when you bought it in us this year, you have an option to buy. These are one of the articles that they have. Right now we're just getting into the opposition and if the tax cuts

    we're not we're not here at the disposal of an asset or or to the development as long as because he says it will be a development of development agreements project

    submissions before.

    Hands up to that point. I'm sorry to be redundant on this but I think like as we move through these developments and process, it's important to just remind folks what the process looks like here what where we are in the steps. So like we just did a second round. They said could you just remind us where we are in this process and what what formal actions remain to be taken? Before we're sort of at a point of no return for lack of a better term. So now we're sitting so we have selected UNESCO through the process. Now we're submitting for HUDs approval to functionally enter into an agreement with them correct or to move forward in this redevelopment and

    so I'm gonna come after the show. And you'll move forward with them and enter into development. The development agreement is much more encompassing. So we broke it up into smaller bits. And so I'm gonna map here the pink area that shows those one, but it shows the phases one and one if you're in 60 units that they intend to build, first, affecting the relocation of people who are already on site that are under a meter. For more numbers, build out what it's going to cost to do that before they actually move forward. And that has to come before you this resolution we're asking is that we have to prove anytime there is a transfer or a change in the use of the land or changing the ownership of the land. So that that's what we're doing. housing, public housing, land needs, anything that was purchased with federal funds, it's overcast. So we're asking, we're writing we want your approval to write to HUD to ask us to put this application together so we can get their approval to release the land. So that it can be used for other purposes like this redevelopment opportunity. We're looking forward sitewide will I want to be on kind of a bootable items by HUD. One done by HUD is only behind. Each time we do a build out of a parcel whether it's one A and one beat or all the rest of the one or however else this is gonna get phased out because we know that it's gonna take a lot more than just a European to get done. Overall, we will come back to you to do the same process. We talked about just now knowing that the developer selection but but each time there's a deal, that includes ground lease, etc, you're going to be added to this board. We could ask for you to review the deal and for your approval for us to execute insert into the deal. So that we can get shovels in the ground. And we'd be asking that of you many many many times over. Give them that but one a one b is only a few acres of that full ATA there's a village one for example.

    I think you're like save X. It's important. Remember the phone person here this that because of the size of this project. It's quite large, right it needs very significant investment. Both the scale of the project as well as the kind of resources really soft dollars, credits, etc, that are going to be necessary to redevelop all of Parkside necessitates us taking this in steps that we're taking bite sized chunks, so we're going to see this deal 3456 times I suspect we're seeing it numerous times, numerous bases. So we're taking over an incremental approach here as opposed to you know, mass exodus, knock everything down, do everything all at once, if that would be another proof nor feasible given the scale of this project. So we're going to be marching through this over and over for probably the next few years, I would imagine at least that is sort of what we're at now. So now we're back at the application fee is because this was a public housing resource or financial federal funds. So we're gonna go back to HUD say this is our plan. This is how we want to change the use that we originally had programmed or under this development agreement and we're probably gonna see numerous requests to change use over the next several years.

    Alright, okay. We're going to we're going to ask HUD in one fell swoop to change the use. We're going to come back to the board numerous times to say while we have the underlying 100 Google, we're asking your approval in bite size.

    That's an important clarification. Okay. So we're asking HUD to look at it. We at the local level are going to take this incrementally phase by phase. That's correct. Okay.

    And to piggyback on that, once again, has a Chromebook that crossed the board. However, it will not take that we have to sell the properties of each one. entity. It was this whatever phase we're at. It says it doesn't work out. We don't have to go back. Again another pool because we've asked them specifically, the property doesn't ask for it.

    Okay, so that's the global approach to disposition of Hartside when we start to think about the micro two, one a one b. RFP has been reviewed and approved. So now it's the development agreement that has to be crafted and all of those intimate details remind me does that come back to us for approval? It does, okay. And that will also include the economics you hear you're going to continue to hear me think about this theme of financially. We've got to get there. And I know you've been part of this is that strategy. So that will also be inclusive of the ask when we look at the development agreement, right

    that's right. Okay. Yes.

    Okay. So you're going to have to authorize this up to the resolution.

    Commissioners, any other questions or staff in any of the additional chairs here to support this request?

    I'm gonna ask me for a few minutes just to tell tell you sort of the background of what we've been doing to get to this point and to be able to move the needle

    for the

    fundamental question exchanger, and therefore and influential. Angela and other team members we have chose to meet directly with Assad has put any contact with the SEC. So they have reviewed our laminaria proposal which we share in subsequent meetings. Meeting and we asked about what were the best steps in the off apartment with a sport as well, and the SAT has been very wonderful in helping us champion number one sustainability once the development is done to optimize the profits, not just for the profits that was put back into the development lessons mark on the whole six, but also to to make sure that when we do do the application that it runs through correctly right the first time. So the critical point here is that we've been partnering with HUD and the SEC, and they brought all their departments and make sure that we can do a break have a break and problem for us residents on board. And to make sure that this year, we are you know, making sure the funding that maybe was Dean loss not loss is just reposition from LFP to a project based voucher so that again, sustainability for the property can occur since

    the additional questions, commissioners none I'll entertain a motion. I'll move it out. Second. Thank you, Commissioner Seibert, and Williams been moved. Second. All those in favor? Aye. Any opposed? Motion carries. Thank you so much mistakes for that report as well. The extract some excuse me All right, Miss Jackson. Resolution 3223.

    This is a resolution asking me to submit a disposition application for vacant scattered site parcels and transfer them to the Detroit Land Bank Authority resolution number 3223. And I'll try to check them

    the background on the vacant lot. Residential about 40 by 200 feet within the city of Detroit. They have a minimum value not licensed some of you may spend $200,000 on shipping financially so, Pac in terms of scale. So we'll be making last to transfer and the lease agreement which was presented earlier. The property will be sold or so hot or in college or transport exchange battery so as an example of that, right now, we're looking at a property that actually doesn't belong to the landlord but it's a small building 2900 Chyler, which we're looking to redevelop into, I think 1015 apartment units and we're training these vacant lot some of these vacant last levels will go in a trade for that property. So actually,

    and then we also I asked him from a Lambay to adjacent properties next to that field.

    So we'll be putting that back in well, so we're doing better than they are getting one. Oh

    and some of these bigger, vacant parcels will go back to their sideline program. Folks will last for a long time and there was some confusion that a while back as to whether they were conveyed, or they had already gotten them. Sometimes people would come and say you know I needed a deed for this property at a land bank and then eliminate that and find out that when they didn't hold the deed we did and so we're trying to clean up that as well in all of this.

    So we do have to be for these we do

    that Tuesday. I want to make sure I heard. So for these 38 Lots. We're going to get what property so it's kind of like the office

    not to go to go to the landing. We're gonna get a number of properties back and they won't be, you know, one for one or Sunday classes. He was saying that things will get some other properties that which we're going to work with Lavabit to identify additional properties that we exchanged those that a longer one or even a 37

    so failure there was there I thought I heard an address but I failed.

    that come to us in this church,

    that's what I see. That's what I was looking for. Those promises not limited, right?

    We have been advised that basically nine or more properties transferred at one time goes for city council, but we wanted to get started on prove what we can do. Make these happen. And then we'll go there. And as we just got under our belt, and we've got a client, that petitioning process to get the next tranche as well. So it really is a much more open agreement that we signed with your approval transfer agreement.

    So these units, houses buildings, I presume if the land may have some of their own vacant at this point.

    No part of know what

    you're talking about. Yes. I'm talking about the ones that would get in front unless they are big. Yes, yes. So then we'll see something come back as it pertains to a development budget and an funding request to to then rehab them in you know, put them in active market

    doesn't recall, either by policy or by statute. This is pretty common. I think the landowners are where they you know, there's a commensurate value requirements do. Inbounds you make trades usually have an account right? You're not used parcel by parcel spot, but it's a you gave us rough value. We're exchanging rough value. Right. And that's, that's, I think, very common of landowners in the city doing business, the land bank, right.

    Because the fair market place we have you build those units to low income families. Also, you might hear these will be sort of to a private facility.

    We have to actually

    reach before we can even

    send it I wish we had done

    an intro on certain tailing either so work quick clean deeding in correct so we're not taking any warranty of title to the land bank. They will clear title but they're gonna give us an owner's policy back on the inbounds that we're taking rest of like, we will have assurance that we've got clean title on the surface coming back in we are quick claiming and disclaiming or do you have title Yes, on the outbound and they will, they will use that process to clean up I don't think so. We've got an issue there okay.

    Okay. This application is free to use

    any further discussion questions? I'm

    doing all this buying and I haven't seen anything on

    fixing up the properties that you already have.

    I remember first of all, we're not going we're not lying nice.

    I would suggests shortly that, for example, the changes for example, are happening sharing and we could talk a lot about the capital money that's been extended across the portfolio. Share them as I'm thinking we're probably approaching $2 million or more. It can be done in the past since I've been here. We've done a number of groups. We've done two sides. We're doing 20 More Oilers and not just putting bigger units back online. Or wholesale capital through this fire suppression systems. We can give you a list of all of those and to show where we are spending that money and where that's going. And unfortunately, in some ways, it's if you watch these, sort of, you know, HGTV when you have to renovate a house with someone and you've got to fix the boiler and the plumbing and the electrical. You don't see it because you're in the building, making sure that the building is safe and secure before you can see the cosmetic stuff about new carpet, a new flooring, new paint and so on. So we're trying to balance that we've been doing a lot of internal work to the systems building systems first, because without doing that you would ruin whatever cosmetics you would do on the on the interior. So at Cherian new flooring is going down in many units, new walls, new painting, you fix all the fire suppression system stuff, the elevators are still being updated, updated.

    Security

    and then on the operations on the on the operation side. We also have requests for submissions and proposals to come in for in fact the camera work and right now the surveillance camera work is being done now. They're actually doing installing in the building. They are doing it and the we're also doing things around Sheridan, not just the camera stuff, but we're doing bidding guard services out across the organization which will have virtually every senior property we have some of the probably family properties as well. And we can see that word that most contracts that information comes to this body before we enter into those contracts. So I don't know I don't know what else to say in response. Other than you might not see it now but it is ongoing and places it's much more busy. Thank you

    any other discussion thank you for that. Madam Secretary slash CEO. Any other discussion? Seeing none. Was there a motion? No motion can we have a motion on resolution 3223? Thank you. Thank you. It's been properly moved by Commissioner cyber and seconded by Commissioner. Thank you, Mr. Bayla. We approve resolution 323. All those in favor? Oppose motion here. All right. I think we are now on to staff reports or departmental reports. Excuse me VHA. Information on this Department reports.

    Hey, just before you are the normal reports that are done by various departments, as is our practice. I wanted to share with you on what happened during the holidays and so you see the center per day for about five or six years. And just to give a shout out to the both resident services and real estate management teams who helped put this together. This is one of these one of the five or six that have ever listened to the ones from from booster that made it into the federal report for the region. So I'm grateful to have again insulated residence services activities in our portfolio. And then you also have the key performance indicators. And follow up to questions that you all have asked us to think through and there are questions about either of these.

    So for and our 2020 fours KPIs remind us because this is through 630 and I know that you all have put in a number of changes to help improving on you know, occupancy and rent collection and definitely the voucher recertification what's the goal? What's the 2024 goal for these

    two standards so for family occupancy, having that 95 moving all the reds and yellows the green occupancy red collection 95%, private beta solaces. We will continue to get clean now because we're continuously working in that process of the annual Boucher recertification agreement, as well as the public health and was green winter and it was so happy in November and we've been assured that it will go back to 90 from our original director, I'd say 89% of movies into the green status, which was that 90 195 square feet Oh, like for us to not happen

    so we're two quarters in it's only 24. Can we right? Oh

    can we get I mean, so you're monitoring this quarter over quarter. Is it possible? At one of the upcoming meetings, maybe the Federal Board meeting that we get an indicator of where we are for the first and second quarter of this fiscal year. For the weekend, I know you've been reporting that you're trending in towards that goal. I'm I'm a visual person, I love the data. I just like to be a little more current. That a fair request

    based upon reporting as far as you want, like the previous mock, like step one, just you know, this is after clock 31.

    I was looking at the wrong direction. Sorry. Sorry, sorry. level that I pulled back up a little bit. This way, and it's okay. No, my bad.

    Okay. Can you

    just remind us these are not like entirely independent or there's a correlation. as I as I read the underlying or Forex between, you know, the impact that Boucher recertifications have on rent collection have on occupancy, etcetera, like they they don't stand alone, unless you're going to tell me otherwise. But that's how I read the report. So I guess I'm interested to know on the property management front, what is the leading indicator, what would we expect to see move first and what is the trailing indicator? Or maybe you're gonna tell me no, they truly are independent, they should be able to move.

    So occupancy should be able to move independent people not in there, that's not going to infect your recollection. But if I have people in there it will, it will impact your recollection.

    So like maybe a good example of this. So if you told me that, you're looking at the underlying reporter, we've got some properties that have been like a massive reflection problem. And so so those are probably age to the point that they're not going to catch up or they're kind of set or not intending to pay. So we actually expect consolidated occupancy should probably go down because we're the leading indicator is going to be rent collection. Once that number picks up, and we have folks who want to live in our properties and want to pay rent. I just got a trail behind

    that end game. But in the beginning because of the resorts because of maintenance because of all the different Perfect Storm things that as we watch out in 2020 2023. You're correct. Now we should be back to a normal seat right? Up.

    We're at that point now where we flushed out a lot of stuff

    a lot. There's still more to go on. So let me give an example. When I was just reminded this week, a lot of times we talk about we house, low income families, that is not entirely true. If you listen to what HUD says we are to house eligible. So that's why we do the screening we do before they make it as fun we do continued eligibility determination during their tenancy. So we have a site in one week at seven evictions. The total balance represented by those seven families with roughly 48,000. Then there were two other move out in that same week. The total balance of those two families was roughly 17,000 Down $65,000 of age receivables and now seven fewer occupied home. Which means if these are folks who are behind on recertifications they're not going to be caught up. So there is correlation amongst are we focusing right now on rent collection cuz I'm open to seeing if we have an occupancy issue we also have money. So sides have been working very diligently in accounting for what we're not collecting, getting families under the payment agreement, obviously that'll improve our collection. Some families unfortunately, you know, they are not reading our continued eligibility requirements. And we own an account. And so we expect some debt because of this renewed initiative to collect what's owed to us but we also know is going to impact where we are recertifications we know it's going to impact where we are with occupancy. So on the other hand, we have the sides are now calling family then making eligibility determination offering making offers housing. So we're trying to meet multiple goals at the same time, but we're really focusing at this point on collections because if you're not going to pay rent that's based on your ability to pay, which is how we charge rent. You can choose to fully assume you can buy it. You can choose an income base rent, we know you can pay but you got to stay eligible. We're inspecting we've increased our inspections. So now that's more lease violations that can be served to families. Some of those may lead to unfortunately going through the legal process. Because again, if you're not going to continue to remain eligible stay in Detroit housing, that also plan to stay. If staff are not meeting our requirements, so then that means we might have to give you up to work with fewer people. But we're going to have people who are going to be committed and care and we will hold accountable if we have to have folks who are not helping us meet the goals that have been set by our CEO that our board and have expects us to see. So yes, some things are not where they ought to be. But we know we just got to continue to meet everyone's expectations.

    So I always like to say it back make sure I'm understanding. So we are focusing on rent collection for the reasons that you stated we would expect that number to move first and theoretically positively. Because that numbers gonna vote we may see some volatility and occupants. So yes, so that number while we want to try to up may be a little hungrier appear until we know our performance metrics and then we would expect that number to move. Can you just say to me again, how does a voucher recertification number impact both what we would expect to see trending on rent collection and occupancy?

    I think I understand.

    That one for talking in and that Americans

    also report on KPIs

    I'm sorry okay.

    Wait, let me to move forward.

    I think they mostly speak for themselves. I will tell you on the on the voucher side, as you see here on the KPIs that the voucher annual certification number continues to move forward. Where it's just under 77 and a half percent. We're still unsure how to get over the contract around our in our own team, getting those more and more to yellow and green in the next few weeks. But I will say that we are at a point now or it was recognized that we have we maximize the number of tenant based vouchers under these types of budget authority, so that we're spending, we got it we can't put any more units any more brochures on the street at this point, because we have nationalized the budget of three that we have and it can't be over 100% over your budget authority because that's a bad effect. You get less money. The more year over, you sort of get out on the other end so so that's a good thing. The downsides side is that 100 reports it and I we got a letter that we shared with you so three months ago, they said we had 200 Somewhere vouchers out on the street but that was just a snapshot you know we have X number of vouchers. We've that this many weeks. And so why aren't you listing the delta between the two? That letter comes out and ignores the budget authority. And so when you put the two together then we are matched. You're supposed to additional money per month, and the budget authority which will allow us to put robots yourself on the street. So so that in some ways is a good news story, that we are the staff that's really been cranking it out and we are where we're supposed to be the administrators, administrators that we just need more money. To be able to put more vouchers on the street up to the amount we have been allocated. So

    we've got we've got a dictated number of sort of Roth voucher slots, right so that we're capped by that number but then we're also capped by the overall budget authority. So it is quasi good news because we are fully utilizing our budget, right? We don't have we don't have any money sitting on the sidelines, that couldn't be surveyed. Families who need housing, the not great news about that is that the thing we don't control is market rents in our geography and so market rents have escalated to the point that our families were having a hard time finding housing with our doctors because we couldn't pay what the market would demand of those doctors. So we are expanding budget authority to meet market demand. What that means we are unfortunately familiar using our full budget, we are serving fewer people and we have slots because market demand which sort of goes back to what you're not particularly harp on all the time. Why it is so important for us to figure out a way to bring more affordable units online that are popular orders can actually access and are good quality safe. Regular decent housing for our family are often the last showing the point that like we're doing everything we can that is inside of our control by utilizing our full budget authority, but market conditions have escalated to the point that we are serving fewer people than we otherwise could because we have to what are we at 120 and the payment standard. When 20 of the payments sandwich that is at the limit. We are maxing out our authority which which is concerning because if that affordability crisis continues, we can't do anything else and our families are still going to struggle to find housing. And that was mostly just me like writing

    the very thing that keeps us that very reasons we can't exceed budget authority. It's a it's a two edged sword for us. So you're right, you're absolutely right. I don't answer more questions because I'm

    friends around the region, other housing conditions. Are they all actually held at 120? Do you doubt anecdotally?

    I don't know anecdotally. And I'll tell you that

    we do have a standing

    meeting with

    each other. And I can tell you with the exception of a very smart

    view like Ann Arbor and certainly areas who have more private sector money volatiles and

    that's good to hear that there is not a call of the coalition but as I write is that a cheering? Yeah, amongst others, because you always wonder am I an island by myself or not? And so, and then hopefully you all are sharing best practices and ways in which you always creatively try to solve problems. That's good to know. Any other report apps?

    I think people have exceptions to the reports, but I don't think there's anything else at this point. That is

    I would like to bring two things to the board's attention. I'll just sort of take this moment to do this. You've gotten emails from me. One, the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary Richard Minako. is visiting Detroit next Wednesday and Thursday. He is spending Thursday. This is Detroit today. So we'll be meeting with Mayor Duggan in the morning. And we start with us here at one o'clock. And we'll take a tour of several properties that we have properties that have been notified. And we'll start here with a meet and greet and you are welcome to join us. I think that we've got him for about three or four hours and he is headed to the airport at about four so we will start or the style with Park side and come back into town used to visit Sheridan. We wanted to I wanted to see Diggs because the city has been talking just preliminarily mentioning that they would like us to consider working with them to do a planning grant under the Choice Neighborhoods Initiative with climate which is the new iteration of six if you will, and we'll come back and so decided to make it easy to get to the airport. Did you say when the main ingredients It's one o'clock a week from today? In right here in 1301 at one o'clock lazy something I did send an email out I can send another one we can put it on your radar screen again. Okay. Um, let's a week from today. Correct. The other thing that I said to you on yesterday, day or the day before, was that we had is going to do what's called a comprehensive review of the Detroit Housing Commission and have a long list of documents part of it is first I will say that's what we call a desk review. We send them lots of things in writing all of our internal policies, they wanted the procurement, they're going to want to look at the copy of the audit. They're gonna want all of our financial stuff and make sure we're getting the app they're going to look at everything policy wise from HR to procurement, to rent collection, you name it. And then they'll come on site, the week of March 11. They'll actually be here, much like there would be doing field work. On site. And they will be interviewing staff members, they might take a tour or to some properties that they may not have seen already. They've really seen most of our portfolio in the past year anyway. There may be questions for you as board members. I don't quite know yet. So tell us more as it goes forward. So they told us that informally. A week ago, the formal letter just came over, which is what I said to all of you and we already have staff members, downloading or uploading things to SharePoint site. All those policies and procedures that we will then make available to HUD for their desk review 30 days prior to their coming on board on March 11. I just wanted you to know that informations. Again, we sent it out but I wanted to make sure I brought it to your attention in this meeting. Since it's recently with British

    soccer is that cycle that they move through? Is it surprise or coming? Is it do those come when there's an indication of how should I read that? Yeah. And what is the potential outcome of that reveal question.

    So having worked hard, I would say that it is not unusual for the largest housing authority in a region for a bottle in a local area to have more scrutiny. Because we're the size indicates risk. So the bigger the agency, the more risk Okay, so that's that's part of why but I would say clearly given our troubles around delinquent research rent collection occupancy, there is more heat and light or it me or us has been very proactive in trying to help us make suggestions about ways in which we can get our collective act together, if you will. They are aware we meet with them every two weeks, so they're on the public housing side and I don't know if you do monthly or bi weekly as my monthly we do. So, so they're, they're in and sort of knows what we're doing and the direction of how we're getting there and what that means, but I do think that this is their opportunity to either assure themselves that we're going in the right direction or not. And I and so I like this opportunity to tell them how we're trending to show them that we're trending. And that we've got all the pieces in place in terms of policies and procedures, and that were really focused as, as Mr. Watson said, on execution and implementation, filling vacancies, collecting rent, doing research, doing inspections, the guts of the operation, because that's you can have all the policies in the world. If we're not executing against them the right way, then policies really don't mean much of anything. And so I think it's the scrutiny it's the it's our come to Jesus moment, in some ways for this organization, and potential

    outcomes.

    They'll do an exit conference with us and then the letter that I shared with you invites you all to join or at least to have a record share joining and then they'll do an exit conference and tell us sort of what they found. And I'm sure they'll have those conversations with us as they go through their review that week. And then they'll do a formal report within 45 days after that. And I don't know I'm assuming some recommendations will come out of there, and probably some corrective action plans, which we then have to address and put timetables against, which we're already doing in a number of areas in HCV and other places, based on some other things that they've sent to us before. So they just want us on the record say these are the actions we're taking and then they want us to report against those actions to make sure that we are moving. We're actually executing and implementing not just saying that we will

    so being a former HUD, having said similar roles and responsibilities. Is there anything that we're not aware of as a board that could potentially come out in if these findings and recommendations I just don't want to I would hate for us to get this. Right, right. Well, I

    would do that. Well, I don't I the answer. The short answer is no. I don't think there's anything to my best knowledge and belief. There's nothing that's going to be a gotcha moment at all. You know our financials are in good, good places. I think that again, it's an execution issue. I think we've got the right policies in place and business practices and policies. It is then making sure that we follow through and to get our numbers up and hit the standards that are not just public housing, real estate. They are real estate practice numbers and federal record collection numbers.

    Anything else before we move on to public comments?

    Thank you, Commissioner. So this is an opportunity for public comments on matters unrelated to the agenda and action items. Climate is limited to three minutes for individuals.

    once we record the morning, Happy New Year everyone missio first of all changed our website that just we have a new chairperson so Mr. Holes is still showing as the chairperson number two, the humor. The commissioner and men say make games you all use your hands that I wouldn't say I would like God to sign language. You all express yourself very well. From Harriet Tubman apartments let's say Rick gates ideal about the $30,000 they would cause to clean the balcony screens. And I wonder if that was included inside the screen because it'd be very difficult to reach at the top so the inside and outside of those screens has to be clean. They haven't been clean since they've been put up, what five, six years ago. The last thing is the Harriet Tubman apartments and I've been here 13 years and you are live in nice houses and apartments and you all go home. But for these years, there's been vermin. They'll be mice they they replicate every six weeks. Welch's sub province have bedbugs and even though stop previously and Orkin currently are the pest control exterminators but people are leaving this building because they add all of us fear we should not live as being a federal building, which that live with this type of infested building. When I was a council president, a lot of people were talking about going to the news and have them to come out and take pictures of it cause to death it not to do that. But I wish that people would the commission will do something about the rodent problem in this building. If you look at how many apartments we have two and seven apartments, I've tried to find out how many empty apartments we have because people have been moving out the people who move in management of courses that tell them that they are in their mice and other RAM vermin zin here and of course after the two day move out, so please, we need to live in a past free building. And we ask that you do all you can to effectuate that effect. Thank you have a Happy New Year.

    Thank you Miss Cornell. Any others? No other public comments. No hands raised no one in the room. Commissioners, any comments?

    I do have a question.

    I'll pose it to you. I don't expect an answer. Now. We're talking about the calendar establishing the calendar. It has happened occasionally where we've struggled at quorum given the size of this commission and you know, given the given the redevelopment plans that we have for Parkside Gardenview other work that we're going to need to do response to this hedonic, etc. I wondering, are we constrained on board membership? Do we have the power to expand that does it have to do with your city's happy with your added etcetera. I do wonder if we need to consider additional commissioners. We have a lot of very important work to do. And I'm not. I'm just concerned that because of illness, whatever else. We may struggle for quorum over this next year. I hope that's not the case. But there's many of the items that we're doing are quite time sensitive. So I think I've been asked Ryan tundra. So if you can just let us know you're we've got movement here. It's within our control. It's not within our control, but I think it's something that we should at least consider expanding the size of this board, given the work that we have to do in the next 12 to 24 months. Just gonna posit or exponential right now.

    Thank you. Good question. Thank you.

    Any other board comments? That's a great one. Commissioner cyber capacity is you know, knowledge capacity, time capacity, all of that. No other comments from commissioners? Alright, staff comments.

    Call me. If you look into KPIs. We have a due date, an obligation date. of March 24 For CFP 20. We've already over our obligation date. So we will report next Friday at 90% and we will achieve backup. Thank you.

    Good to hear Mr. Lampe.

It's just wonderful to see how everybody can cross and aboard and helpful and timely answering just I can't say enough, the teamwork that that came across and the preparation.
