MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF THE HOUSING AUTHORITY
• OF THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS
•
•
The Housing Authority of the City of Fayetteville, Arkansas met in
Regular Session at 8:30 o'clock a.m., on Wednesday, December 18, 1974,
in the office of the Housing Authority, #1 North School Avenue,
Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Mr. J. W. Gould, Chairman, called the meeting to order.
On roll call, the following members were present:
Commissioners: Gould, Morgan, Underwood
Commissioners Absent: Clinton
Others Present: R. L. Dugan, Bromo Wilson, Delbert Allen,
Mayor Russell Purdy, Hugh Kincaid, Melvin Stout, Stella Stout,
Mary Dunham, Bernadine Grogan, Wallace Johnson, Lily Johnson
There being a quorum present, the following business was transacted:
The Minutes of the November Regular Meeting were approved by motion
of Mr. Underwood, seconded by Mr. Morgan, and carried unanimously.
The Financial Report for November was approved by motion of Mr. Underwood,
seconded by Mr. Morgan, and carried unanimously.
There was then a discussion of the contract between the Housing Authority
and Urban Programming Corporation. Mr. Dugan explained that the
contract was entered into on March 17, 1972, and calls for completion
of a pedestrian mall, traffic signalization, etc. It appears now,
that due to indecision concerning the plan as it is now, andrthat
escalating construction costs could possibly increase the fee payable
to UPC, that the Board will need to make a decision concerning this
contract. This has been discussed with HUD and the Housing Authority
attorney, Hugh Kincaid, and it seems that the problem should be considered
more thoroughly before the Board takes any action.
The Board therefore took no action at this time.
There was then a discussion concerriing the organization of a grievance
committee. There are to be ten tenants on the committee. Mr. Gould
suggested having four from each Site and two from the Hi -Rise. The
representatives from the Lewis Plaza Tenant's Organization were asked
to inform the tenants to elect four people from each site. The Board
will then meet with all tenants elected to discuss the grievance
procedure.
GIP
Mr. Dugan asked the representatives from Lewis Plaza -Site A if the
tenants in that project would be willing to have a work day in the
near future. They said that Friday, January 3, was the date that
had been discussed at the tenant's organization meeting this week.
Mr. Dugan agreed with this date.
There was then a discussion of the progress being made on the various
grievances presented to the Housing Authority concerning the dead
trees, drainage, man -hole covers, etc.
The representatives from Lewis Plaza brought up a question concerning
the possibility of getting a washer and dryer on Site A for the
tenants use. The Housing Authority will contact Mr. Grover Thomas
and have him call Mr. Stout concerning this to see what might be
worked out.
There being no further business, Mr. Gould, Chairman, adjourned the
meeting.
