Commissioner Franklin stated that the Commission reviewed all
information submitted by Mr. Adams.
Mr. Dorsey stated that he requested a copy of the
regulations, which limits the number of loans per person.
Upon receipt of that copy he stated that the regulations did
not have an effective date. Every document should have an
effective date. He also stated that the code violations
that Ms. Dorsey was cited for were in existence when the
second loan was granted and Scott Ehrlich, prior
Rehabilitation Specialist, did not address that issue. One
issue was the garage that was converted to a room. Code
Enforcement said it had to be converted back to a garage.
Mr. Dorsey said that was never done, but this was a concern
of the homeowner upon receipt of the second loan. After
further discussion Commissioner Franklin thanked the
homeowners for their input.
Commissioner Hall, asked what was the purpose of the waiver
on the number of loans. Mr. Adams stated that the purpose of
the Waiver is to allow the homeowner the opportunity to
receive an additional loan.
