The Council made comments.
Council Member Fowler made a motion to amend R47-23 by removing the first
full paragraph on page 19 of Exhibit A, i.e., the CAPER, that started with “CHA
also held several discussions…” and replacing it with “Legal representatives
from CHA and the Columbia Community Land Trust have discussed a partnership
or merger between the two organizations. No agreements have been reached at
this time.” The motion was seconded by Council Member Lovelady.
After discussion on the motion, Council Member Fowler revised her motion so it
was now to amend R47-23 by removing the first full paragraph on page 19 of
Exhibit A, i.e., the CAPER, that started with “CHA also held several discussions…”
and replacing it with “Legal representatives from CHA and the Columbia
Community Land Trust have discussed a partnership or merger between the two
organizations. No agreements have been reached at this time” if that was
acceptable by HUD, or to add this to the appendix of the CAPER if that change to
page 19 was not acceptable by HUD. The revised motion was seconded by
Council Member Lovelady. After further discussion, the revised motion was
passed by roll call vote with Mayor Buffaloe, Council Member Fowler, Council
Member Waner, Council Member Lovelady, Council Member Foster, and Council
Member Peters voting yes, and Council Member Pitzer voting no.
