Minutes of the Janesville Community Development Authority (CDA) Regular Meeting
November 18, 2009
Present: CDA Members: Michael Bachmeyer, George Fenn, Duke Ellingson, Tom McDonald, Heidi Holden
Absent: CDA Member, Russ Steeber, Sylvia Moore
Also present: City Staff: Jennifer Petruzzello, Carrie Clark; Others: Andreah Briarmoon, Kristine Moser, Laura Markley
The meeting was called to order by Chairperson Bachmeyer at 5:30 p.m.
The minutes of the October 14 regular meeting were approved by consent.
Chairperson Bachmeyer introduced and welcomed new CDA member Heidi Holden
The Community Development Block Grant Supplemental Disaster Allocation Public Hearing was opened at approximately 5:37 p.m.
Kristine Moser with the 2008 Rock County Flood Recovery Team inquired if the residents of Putnam Ave area were going to be considered
for grant funding.
Andreah Briarmoon spoke about considering the Putnam Avenue area for funding.
Laura Markely with the 2008 Flood Recovery Team inquired if staff could possibly interpret the grant criteria in a way to include the Putnam
Ave area for grant funding.
Petruzzello responded that staff did not feel that the Putnam Ave area fit the funding criteria of the grant, as the area was experiencing
high groundwater and that the problem existed prior to June 2008, although the problem appears to have been exacerbated by the 2008
flooding. Staff looked into the possibility that additional storm sewer would mitigate future damage, and determined that the improvement
would pipe the water (as opposed to openly flowing down the street), but would not benefit the private property owners.
The public hearing was closed at 6 p.m.
Ellingson moved, seconded by Bachmeyer, to make a positive recommendation to the City Council that they amend the current Emergency
Assistance Program contract to include an additional $251,000 in funding for the Mole Sadler Neighborhood, $694,000 for public
infrastructure and facilities, $1.5 million to purchase and demolish residential and commercial properties, $150,000 in additional business
assistance, and $100,000 in administrative expense. The motion passed unanimously.
Clark presented a request from a Home Improvement program applicant requesting consideration from the CDA to approve his loan
application that staff had denied. The homeowner presented his request for funding to remove 2 trees from his property to the CDA. After
brief discussion, a motion was made by Fenn, seconded by Ellingson to deny the application due to funding constraints and program
guidelines. The motion passed unanimously.
A motion was made by McDonald, seconded by Bachmeyer to cancel the December, 2009 CDA meeting. The motion passed unanimously.
Under the Director’s Report, Petruzzello indicated that the 2010-15 Consolidated Plan has been submitted to HUD and is available for
viewing on the City’s website.
Petruzzello informed the CDA that staff received notification from HUD that a Home Improvement Program Client had made a complaint
about their treatment by staff and the CDA and the CDA’s decision to deny her application for additional funding.
Petruzzello inquired if CDA members would be interested in receiving electronic copies of the agenda materials. McDonald and Bachmeyer
responded they would prefer emailed agenda materials.
There being no further business, a motion to adjourn was made by Ellingson, seconded by McDonald. The motion passed unanimously.
The meeting was adjourned at approximately 6:37 p.m.
These minutes are not official until approved by the CDA.
Respectfully submitted, Carrie Clark, Housing Financial & Rehabilitation Specialist

SUBJECT: Agenda Item #4a - 2009 4th Quarter Collections Report
Summary
Neighborhood Services Staff has traditionally provided the CDA with a collections report
detailing the status of our various loans and collection activities. This report will provide a
summary of 2009 loan activity.
Background
th
The 2009 – 4 quarter indicates we have approximately $4.38 million in outstanding loans,
rd
compared to $4.22 million in the 3 quarter of 2009. Of that figure, $1.18 million, or 136 loans,
are structured as installment loans, where clients are required to make a monthly payment. The
balance, or approximately $3.19 million is structured as deferred payment and/or forgivable
loans, where no monthly payment is required.
Seventy-five percent (75%) of those clients required to make a monthly payment are making
those payments on-time, as agreed. The remaining twenty-five percent (25%) are in various
stages of delinquency described in the following table:
# Loans 30 days 60 days 90 days 120+ days
7 3 4 22
Collection activities are performed monthly by staff. Activities include sending a letter, of
varying degree, and billing statement to each delinquent client. Clients are invited to appear
before the CDA at the point they become 6 months delinquent. We are working with outside
counsel on a number of foreclosure matters related to a number of Rental Rehabilitation
Program loans in default.
The following table describes the status of the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to 2008.
There is no action required on this matter as it is put forth for informational purposes only.
Questions and/or comments from the CDA are welcome.
