Board motioned to approve the use of additional HBA funds with the condition that MLH staff must be involved in the showings and have access to the units if those units were to receive additional funds. Motion passed 5-0

C. Aspen Village
Mr. Maldonado demanded payment from Mr. Roope of Pacific West Communities, and received partial payment today. Board discussed possible structures of the repayment of the remaining balance due to MLH. The Board is willing to phase payments to MLH as long as Neubauer – Jennison are paid in full first and in a timely manner. If necessary Mark can give Mr. Roope more time to pay but interest will accrue on the balance. Aspen Village Apartments’ cost certification for TCAC (draft review) will probably be released next week.
