B. September 2020 Financial Report

Andrea Joyal, Acting Finance Officer, presented the September 2020 Financial Report. Director Lipsey Scott asked for clarification on the Jordan Park Redevelopment Expenses. Ms. Joyal explained that multiple invoices can be paid on one check, which is why some check numbers appear multiple times. Ms. Joyal and Director Lipsey Scott discussed the possibility of holding a workshop to go over reported expenditures. There was extensive discussion between the Board, Mr. Lundy and SPHA staff. Attorney Ric Gilmore advised the Board a workshop would be the best way to continue discussion on the matter. The Directors agreed to a workshop and asked Mr. Lundy to schedule a suitable time.

SUBJECT: Old Business

Director Evans asked Mr. Lundy if auditor Brian Nemeroff had provided any further information on the valuation of SPHA-owned land. Mr. Lundy informed the Board no additional information had been received and agreed to follow up with Mr. Nemeroff.

SUBJECT: New Business

Mr. Lundy updated the Board on the Jordan Park redevelopment. He informed the Board meetings were held with numerous residents where they were informed of the proposed upgrades and changes. Mr. Lundy also had one-on-one meetings with former residents of the Jordan Park Senior Village to discuss remodel plans. A majority of the senior residents expressed interest in a new senior midrise.

SPHA staff conducted a relocation survey of Jordan Park residents and had thus far spoken to 58 families who expressed a desire to explore homeownership as a permanent relocation option, 40 families who indicated they wished to temporarily relocate on-site, 11 families who stated they were interested in temporarily or permanently moving in with a relative and seven heads of households who were interested in receiving a Housing Choice Voucher as a permanent relocation option.

Mr. Lundy informed the Board redevelopment meetings are being continuously held with relevant team members to discuss everything from financials to timeline. He reported a consensus has been reached regarding a redevelopment strategy. Mr. Lundy asked to schedule a work session with the Board to present proposed recommendations. Attorney Ric Gilmore advised Mr. Lundy a special call meeting would be more suitable than a workshop. There was extensive discussion between Director Lipsey Scott and Mr. Lundy regarding the senior village.

Director Lipsey Scott asked the Board if there was any new information on the appointment of another director. No updates or additional information were available.

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 9:54 a.m.

Approved and adopted on this 19th day of November 2020
