The Crookston Housing & Economic Development Authority (CHEDA) met for a Special meeting on Thursday at 5:00 p.m. at the Valley Technology Park.
APPROVE PAYABLES
After the Call to Order, the board began the meeting by approving their October 26 to 31 CHEDA Checks for $46,064.25 and EFT Totalling $2,129.12 for a total of $48,193.37. They then began a motion to approve the November 1 CHEDA Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) Checks for $61,306.23. The board approved both motions; however, Kristie Jerde abstained her vote on both motions.
HOUSING
The board then began the first resolution to approve the 1-10-2022 Civil Rights Certification. Administrative Assistant Theresa Tahran explained that it was an annual certification the board had to renew for the year, but they had not changed it from their previous HUD plan from the year before. “It’s an annual certification and board resolution stating that we have our annual plan, and it’s a renewal from each year,” Tahran explained. “We’re a high performer, and it’s just a document we recertify each year.” The board approved the certification unanimously.
Compliance with PHA Annual Plan
The board then began another resolution of the 2-10-2022 Compliance with the PHA Annual Plan. Tahran explained it was a plan they had to do each year with a whole agency plan every five years, but this year they just needed to approve the annual plan. “Each year, we have to do a PHA plan. Every five years, we do a whole agency plan where we have a significant amendment and put in our five-year capital improvements,” Tahran explained. “This year is just an annual plan stating we’re in compliance with HUD.” The board approved the motion unanimously.
The next CHEDA meeting will take place on Tuesday, November 8, at 5:00 p.m. at Valley Technology Park.
