Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority Board Meeting   8/26/2024

If you'd like me asking, do you mind at home, but my daughter wouldn't let me.

She wouldn't let you home.

If you'd like to do that with me, it's gonna be fine.

Okay.

Yeah, full scope out of the spot, probably by the community center.

Or the playground.

Well, and this is just food.

It's not a sexy pantry.

Have you seen Miss Alice?

I'm trying to figure what went first.

Other one of them, the first date.

It wasn't one was, I can't remember what it was.

I can't remember what it was.

I tell you what, they disappeared all the condoms.

Well, no.

I mean, one of the baskets was empty.

That might be because we stocked a lot of them.

And we had several people tell us about how they did treat them.

I know some people's preferences.

We were asked maybe if we offered any services.

I mean, let's worry about it.

All right, we're gonna need to see you, Javier.

We're gonna need one more person.

One more to show up in person for a set quorum.

So.

There go one.

I'm sorry you're feeling bad, Mr. Payne.

We're waiting.

Well, we are hoping.

If not, we won't have a quorum.

So we need to

Wes is gonna be late, I didn't know about Laura, but I mean it is only 6.03, we're just really pumped to get it started.

As always, we're always ready to get it going.

How are you?

Good.

So we'll give it a couple more minutes.

We're waiting for you so we would have a quorum.

Oh, here I am.

Here is

Commissioner Goldblatt, all right.

Call the meeting to order.

Here.

Commissioner Goldblatt?

Here.

Commissioner Rosales?

Present.

Commissioner Payne?

Present.

Great, yeah.

All right.

Okay, we'll take a, do a moment of silence.

All right, general announcements, meeting dates and reminders.

Our next board working session is on Thursday, September 13th.

And then our next regular board meeting will be Monday, September 23rd.

We have the Redevelopment Committee meeting every first Thursday of the month.

on the, oh, wait, do we have, oh, 13th, not 17th.

Yes, okay.

All right, and then we have the safety committee meeting every other Wednesday at four, so September 4th and September 18th.

And then the resident services committee meeting will be September 10th at one.

Are there any other announcements?

Okay.

Move forward to public comments.

All right, moving out of line.

Did we ask for far comments?

Okay, no problem.

That's okay.

I thought you might have flagged me down.

All in favor?

Aye.

All right.

I believe that Mr.

Does anyone from CRHA, is there anything you want to add to perhaps what we heard from Mr.

It does not require a vote because it's under $100,000.

The information is being provided for transparency.

And actually, I guess I didn't say it out loud.

The resolution 1478 is authorizing the execution of a security contract for Kress and Hulse.

So we don't need to do anything about this.

Sounds like it.

Yeah, because it's less than $100,000.

Housing director update.

I have a brief thing that's kind of an intersection of housing.

So I just want to know that the report was attached, but we also want you to know we received a 91 on our Crescent Hall's fire inspection.

All the violations identified have been completed.

Yes.

We received a 91 on our Crescent Hall's Inspire inspection.

All the violations identified have been completed.

About 90% of the violations were from contractor's work and we're preparing for inspections at Sixth Street and West Haven for September.

West Haven is the last week of the month and Sixth Street is the first week of September.

But Mr.

Okay, thank you.

Oh good, okay.

Okay, do we have an H, we have the attachment D for the HCV program manager update, is there anything to be called out there?

It's going to be a really fast meeting.

Yeah, seriously.

No, but if anyone has any questions, still let us know.

Okay.

Awesome.

Thank you.

just that they're continuing to improve systems.

It's pretty exciting.

Awesome.

Okay.

Mr.

No.

He didn't send anything.

We're back to public comments.

Do we have any public comments this evening?

I can give an update on the Josh Plus grant we received.

Oh great.

We've just hired a program manager who will be starting in the third and I'm going with her and our property manager to Philadelphia for a training for the program and are looking at, we have six months to set it up with a launch at the beginning of the year.

It's a four year program with site based in West Haven with a lot of partnerships with workforce and we're really excited to see things get off the ground with that.

So we're always looking for more space.

So one of the things that Michael and I had talked about on our 2221, just to maybe let the other commissioners know, is the ethics policy that we'd wanted the board to work at.

So I think that's going to come up at our next work session so that we can review it and approve it.

And that way the nonprofit can make use of it.

Yes, I think it's going to be Brigid and I are going to be the two.

I don't know if we're targeting what date specific which meeting.

And once that happens, one of the follow-up steps will be

talking about CNE about a no contest clause with PHAR for funding and some of the other requests that were out there.

Do you know, Kathleen, I think we were looking at nine

15 or 10-7 or 10-21, do you have any, or 9-16?

I don't think so, are you aware?

Or it'd be somebody who's here.

All right.

Can you follow up with them on that date?

All right.

PHAR comments or public comment?

Ms. Carr.

Do you really want to hear from me, huh?

So one of my concerns was that Wednesdays, CRHA have maintenance meetings and safety meetings and it's been a lot of concern with people bringing maintenance within safety and safety within maintenance and I'm, you know,

One of the things is when people, problems happen at any given time.

So just because of the separation, I think that it needs to be where people can just voice at that particular time.

And that's been one of the biggest issues that I'm seeing right now, is that maintenance and safety being separated, people are seeing it in different times.

Is that okay?

Is that something that we could address with staff?

Oh, thank you so much.

You're welcome.

To make sure that, you know, we obviously want to hear residents' concerns, and so is it okay to, when residents come, they should bring up what's on their mind?

I don't think so.

I think some maintenance issues

can be safety, some safety issues or maintenance, it's like a riddle.

So I mean, I don't know, I've been in the safety meeting where when maintenance issues have come up, I don't think it's a big deal.

If it's a, I don't know, I guess I'd just be like that one we know how to fix because it's a maintenance issue.

Yeah, thank you.

And you can let people know that if they come, we're happy to listen to anything.

Ms. Giles?

I just didn't want to leave you out.

All right.

Are there any other comments on the Zoom?

Good evening, my name is Annette Wilcox.

I'm calling to find, yeah, I would agree that when my phone got out of line because of several storms, and I'm gonna try to get, when the repairman comes to fix my Bright Speed phone, I will try to get directions

How to control the phone line is not my fault.

Okay.

Does anyone have anything else this evening?

All right.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Bye.

Wes wasn't going to be here.

Oh, I texted him.

No, he was going to be here.

I texted him because he was running late.

And I was like, don't take him all day.

Did you bike ride him?

I did.

Yeah, I just, like, it's my first, you know, because I used to be a big, like, commuter.

And then it just like sat because I was like, well, if I have to go to daycare suddenly, and then I was like, you know what, I'm just gonna get a child's bike, child's fuel on the bike, and if I have to, we'll just figure it out.

So I scoped out a route today.

You took your dog?
