WiIIi,am Graham Vacant Seat Vacant Seat Vacant Seat Chair Vice-Chair Board Member Board Member Board Member Board Member Board Member Board Member Board Member Also Present: Howie Carroll Michael Holmes Brenda Moses Assistant Housing Director Housing Manager Board Reporter , , The Chair called the meeting to order at 10:04 a.m. at City Hall. To provide continuity for research, items are In agenda order although not , , necessarily discussed in that order. ITEM #3 - Aooroval of Minutes - March 12 & 27. 2002, meetinQs Consensus was to postpone approval of the minutes to the May meeting. ITEM #4 - Citizens to be Heard Jerry Spilatro, of Community Service Foundation, distributed a flier on the H.O.P.E. Expo 2002 (Home Ownership for People Everywhere) on June 8, 2002, at 105 Central Park Drive at the Largo Cultural Center.' 'ITEM #5 - FY 2002-2003 Action Plan Fundina Recommendations Assistant Housing Director Howie Carroll thanked the NAHAB (Neighbo'rhood & Affordable Housing Advisory Board) for their efforts during evaluations of subrecipient applications. Housing Manager Michael Holmes reviewed the FY 2002-2003 Consolidated Proposed Funding Scores, subrecipient requests for funding, and proposed allocations for each agency as determined by the NAHAS and TRC (Technical Review Committee). He said staff tries to estimate budget projections in April for fiscal year 2002*2003. Funds can Increase or'decrease depending upon actual funds re'ceived. He said different weights were used to rank agencies in the Public Services category last year. Staff also included additional projects in that category as directed by the City Commission. Mr. Holmes said annually, the City receives more requests for funding than actual funds. The neighborhood revitalization strategy area was formed this year in an effort to fund additional ' mna0402 1 4/1 8/02 " "c', c:1)__~..~~.II,\~l.~)},:',\. \'>' ,,'1,., ,,"\" \ . , "" \..

In response to a question, Mr. Holmes said the 60%/50%/40% ratios were only used to fund agencies in the public services area. As funding requests are higher than available funds, staff can allocate 60% of funds to the 2 highest ranked organizations, 50% to the next 2 highest ranked agencies, an~ 40% to the remaining agencies until the funds budget for public services are allocated: Mr. Holmes explained how the housing pool is set up for activities related to single family housing projects. Mr. Spilatro said there is a typographical error on staff's chart indicating CSF had requested $100,000; CSF actually requested $10,000. His agency voluntarily cut back their request from $10,000 to $6,500 this year as they assumed the 100% ranking approval ratios were stili, in place. He said that cutback would not have been done had he been aware that the ratios for public service's category had been changed. As a result, he said he would not be'able to offer counseling and budgeting courses. , Mr. Carroll said the SHIP (State Housing Initiative Program) has program regulations and thresholds regarding maximum' counseling and education funds that can be awarded to agencies~ If the opportunity exis'ts, staff can raise those levels of funding to agencies such , as CSF as long as they stay within the Florida Housing and Finance guidelines. Different restrictions apply for different uses. C,oncern was expressed that staff would be, juggling funds that have already been targeted for the agencies as ranked. Mr. Carroll said additional funds would come from the Housing pool; none would be taken from any proposed projects that were already allocated funds. Member Braswell moved to amend the FY 2002-2003 Consolidated Proposed Funding by increasing 2 of the CSF funding requests, 2, of Tampa Bay CDC's requests, and CNHS's (Clearwator Neighborhood Housing Services) request to permit them to be funded , at their total requested amounts. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. ITEM #6 ~ Old Business a) Greenwood Apartments Update Mr. Carroll updated the NAHAB regarding Greenwood Apartments. He said progress is continuing. The NAHAS will receive invitations to the ribbon cutting scheduled for the first of June 2002. b) Fulton Apartments Update Mr. Carroll said budget amendments are being made to include 4 more units. c) NAHAS Ordinance Changes mna0402 ' 2 4/18/02 , . , ' " , ~ " '.
