New Business:
A discussion was held on possible conflict of interest for the office staff in reference to being a participant of one of the programs, being a relative of someone on the program or owing money to one of the programs. The Director is seeking direction from the HUD office in Milwaukee before bringing this subject back to the Board for a possible conflict of interest policy.

CDBG Loan #TO-2112-03 is in default. The homeowner’s do not make timely payments. The Director will make one final attempt to bring their payments current. Failure to do so may result in their monthly interest rate increasing from 1% to 5%. This will be discussed at next month’s meeting.
