THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Commissioners of the Housing Authority of Fayetteville, Arkansas that the attached Security Plan and the Dwelling Lease addendum to be adopted and submitted to the Little Rock Area Office for approval. PASSED AND APPROVED THIS o2D+13" DAY OF 2006. ATTEST: 42,k_o SE RETARY THE HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS ERSON FAYETTEVILLE HOUSING AUTHORITY'S SECURITY PLAN The Fayetteville Housing Authority has a total of 252 units under management with 200 in project AR 0097-01 with 40 units on 10 S. Willow and 40 units on 401 S. Lewis it also has 120 units located at #1 N. School that has it own security. We have 52 units in project AR0097-02 located on 12`h Street. The apartments to be allocated to the police officer would be one at 10 S. Willow one at 401 S. Lewis and one at 324 E. 12th Street. The apartment at 324 E 12`h Street is a two bedroom but we might allocate a three bedroom at 10 S. Willow or 401 S. Lewis. The officer will pay $100.00 in rent on the apartments if they do not provide any patrols and are just going to be a presence in our community and help set up security programs If they agree to provide regular patrols of the premises for five hours a week they will not be charged any rent. All officers will have to pay a $50.00 security deposit and pay for their electric and gas usage. They will also have to pay for any damage they might cause to the unit. The rent that would ordinarily be charge for a two bedroom unit is $363.00 and a three bedroom is $489.00 with a utility allowance of $ 113.00. The Housing Authority has an average cost of $791.00 per year for water, sewer, and trash and pest control on these apartments. In Fayetteville a two bedroom apartment or duplex can be rented for approximately $450.00 plus utilities and a three bedroom apartment or duplex can be rented for $600.00 plus utilities with a six month to a one year lease. These are furnished with dishwasher, garbage disposals, carpet, and central air hi comparison, the Housing Authority can offer a standard apartment with none of the above amenities located in a neighborhood with several disturbances. It is extremely difficult for the Housing Authority to attract police officers to our housing without making it beneficial to them when they can find more attractive housing in the private market. Our developments consist of mostly white resident with some black and hispanic. There are approximately 147 elderly and disabled families with remainder being families with children. The majority of the families are single parent households The surrounding community consists of a mixture of white and black families. There are several homeowners; however the majority is rental units. Of all are projects Morgan Manor has had the most problems over the last couple of years. That is why we are placing an officer at that site first but will work to have other officers at Lewis Plaza and Willow Heights. • • • The Housing Authority will continue to evict when warranted but the amount of criminal activity is increasing. It will be very beneficial to this neighborhood and the surrounding community to have police officers living near them. This officer will be a presence in our community and help the Housing Authority with getting rid of the problems in our neighborhoods With the presence of an officer in our community it will help the other tenants to work together without the fear of retaliation to make their neighborhood safe and free of crime. Crime is imposing a serious threat to the stability and well-being of the residents. This increased amount of visibility of police officers in the community will discourage a lot of the criminal activity. This will increase community satisfaction and trust which will strengthen the community. • • • Standard PHA Plan PHA Certifications of Compliance U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Office of Public and Indian Housing RESOLUTION N0:'771 PHA Certifications of Compliance with the PHA Plans and Related Regulations: Board Resolution to Accompany the Standard Annual, Standard 5-Year/Annual, and Streamlined 5-Year/Annual PHA Plans Acting on behaffofthe Board of Commissioners of the Public Housing Agency (PHA) listed below, as its Chairman or other authorized PHA official if there is no Board of Commissioners, 1 approve the submission ofthe_standard Annual, X standard 5- Year/Annual or _streamlined 5-Year/Annual PHA Plan for the PHA fiscal year beginning 10111 QThereinafter referred to as" the Plan", of which this document is a part and make the following certifications and agreements with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in connection with the submission of the Plan and implementation thereof 1.
