AYES: NOES: Boyd, Campbell, Doane, Larson, Yost None Motion carried PUBLIC COMMENTS Chairman Yost declared Public comments to be open. Mr. Ken Williams, Trailer Park resident, stated he was present to represent seventy-five residents of the Trailer Park who seek to tighten the provisions of the agreements between LINC Housing and the residents, more specifically amendment of the current Cooperation Agreement Number 7 to delete the words 'and other financing' and to further insert in the same sentence a date certain for transfer of control of the park to the residents, that for the purpose of security for the residents. Mr. Williams said he has offered to the Board that a specialist could be provided to try to make this work for LINC, the residents, the City, and other concerned parties to make this work to the favor of everyone. Chairman Yost pointed out that the Agency could not officially discuss this matter, however he would ask the City Attorney to look into the request. Mr. Williams recalled that a board was elected in the Park to first try to protect the covenants, then it was the purchase of the Park on behalf of the residents, they were under the assumption that was the case, there is written documentation of comments that the residents would own the Park at the end of twenty to thirty years, the concept was good, the efforts of the City were appreciated, that has changed somewhat where the control is by the corporation that owns the Park. The concern is with the words 'and other financing' where LINC may need to refinance for infrastructure repair as an example, yet to use the debt as a reason to not transfer the Park to the residents as of a date certain leaves it ambiguous as to what is to be realized when the Park is in fact transferred, this is not a recognizable security for the residents long term, attorneys have said to the residents that they could likely win in court, preference would be to clear up the issues now rather than later. Mr. Williams asked if the City Attorney could open a line of communication with their attorney to accomplish this in an amenable manner. The Chairman again noted this is not the format for such discussion, offered to contact Mr. Williams for further discussion, also, suggested that Mr. Williams attend the monthly meetings of the Park's elected body, bring the signatures of the residents before that body as well. To the City Attorney, the Chairman said this is an issue between the residents and LINC, what would be the responsibility of the Agency for alteration of the language of the cooperation agreement. The City Attorney reminded that this is not an agenda item for the purpose of discussion, agreed that it would be preferable to place the matter on a future agenda, clarifying again that this is I ( 5-29-01 I actually a private matter between LINC and the residents, the Agency's earlier involvement was to participate monetarily, however if Mr. Williams were to submit his questions they can be reviewed to see if there is anything the City/Agency can do. Chairman Yost suggested that this be agendized for next meeting, again encouraged Mr. Williams to attend and submit his requests to the Trailer Park Board. A member of the audience wishing to speak to a Council item was advised to await its consideration. SELECTION OF CHAIR / VICE-CHAIR Chairman Yost declared nominations open for Chairman and Vice-Chairman. Agencymember Doane moved to retain Chairman Yost and vice- Chairman Larson in their present positions for upcoming year 2001/2002. Agencymember Larson seconded the motion.
