The program reservation for 200 public housing units has been approved
by the Housing Assistance Administration. The Chairman reported in
order for the Housing Authority to receive funds as soon as possible
after the execution of a preliminary loan contract, the Authority
needed to approve a request for an initial advance of funds in the
amount of $5,250. J. E. Pomfret moved that the Chairman of the
Housing Authority be,and hereby is,authorized to execute Form PHA 1991
and Form PHA 402 to request an approval of an initial advance of funds
in the amount of $5,250. The motion was seconded by Hal Douglas and
passed unanimously.
The Housing Authority discussed making the necessary arrangements for
the Chairman, Vice-chairman, Secretary -Acting Executive Director and
architects to attend a conference in the Regional Office of Public
Housing Administration to discuss site selection, preparation of a
Development Program, accounting, legal requirements, etc., for public
housing.
There was discussion on employing an executive director. Because of
the limited funds available under the public housing program, the
Housing Authority felt it would be difficult to locate a qualified
person to employ as executive director for public housing now and
for urban renewal later. It was agreed before there was further
consideration given to employing a director that the Housing Authority
would wait until after the conference at the Fort Worth Regional
Office of Public Housing Administration.
Chairman Baxter reported that the Fayetteville Housing Authority had
been put on the mailing list of FHA and VA to receive lists of
properties available for low -rent housing.
J. E. Pomfret moved to adjourn. The motion was seconded by Hal
Douglas and passed unanimously. The Chairman adjourned the meeting.
