Authority Member Kaywood stated she would like more information on tying the subsidy to the tenant and not the unit, thereby preventing the control or restriction of rents they normally had for five years. She asked if this meant that somebody was going to get a windfall, being the first renter. Mr. Priest answered that it could. The Authority had participated in the second round of the program which contained the same set of ground rules. Recognizing where the Administration was going with its Housing Act, they felt it appropriate to begin to operate in a similar direction. Under the Rental Rehabilitation Program and under the new Housing Act, it was tied to the tenant. There were also other provisions they did not like. There were no means, and the City and Mousing Authority were forbidden, directly or indirectly, to control or restrict rents. The "Catch-22" being if the rent moved above a certain accepted level by HUD standards, they could be penalized in terms of the amount of money they could get for rental rehabilitation. They had protested to HUD, but at this point in time, they were not prone to changing their approach. He urged that they go forward relative to the Certificate, because it was, in fact, the law and, further, they would like to get as much experience with and maintain a good relationship with HUD in order to continue to have the opportunity for housing in the City. They were not happy, but that was what Congress had passed. Authority Member Overholt entered the Council Chambers. (10:07 a.m.) MOTION: After additional questions posed by Authority Members Kaywood and Bay, Authority Member Roth moved to certify the Housing Authority's willingness to continue participation in the third round of the Rental Rehabilitation Program Demonstration, and authorize the Chairman to execute the Certificate, as recommended by the Executive Director. Authority Member Pickler seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. ADJOURNMEnt: Authority Member Bay moved to adjourn. Authority Member Roth seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. (10:09 a.m.) LINDA D. ROBERTS, SECRETARY 84-8
