...... A discussion was held on the renewal of the Housing Choice Voucher Program’s 12 month variable add-on CD which comes due May 13, 2006. A motion was made by Commissioner Wilbur to transfer $20,000.00 from the CD to the Money Market account to help off-set the funding shortfall the rental assistance program continues to face. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Miller. The motion was carried by unanimous vote.

On April, 4, 2006 a comprehensive management review and limited physical inspection of the South Meadow Apartments/Evansville Housing Authority was conducted by WHEDA (Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority). The Housing Authority received an overall rating of Superior. The report stated that the tenant files were very organized and well documented and the apartments were well-managed which showed throughout the property.

Resolution #65 was presented to the Board. The pet policy must now include language allowing South Meadow tenants to make incremental payments of their pet deposits, not to exceed $10.00 a month. The tenants may choose to pay the entire amount or make payments in greater increments than $10.00. A motion was made by Commissioner Miller and seconded by Commissioner Wilbur to approve Resolution #65. The motion was carried by unanimous vote. An updated Pet Policy will be distributed next month.

While reviewing the Personnel Policy it was discovered that there is no section pertaining to a leave of absence due to a death of a family member. Commissioner Wilbur will bring her policy to next month’s meeting for further review and discussion.
