All ayes. MOTION CARRIED. In discussion, Wyckoff asked Anita Kottsick, Parkview Villa Housing Administrator, how the elevators were working and the length of the warranty. Kottsick responded that the elevators were working well and there will be a one (1) year warranty on the trait. REPORT OF THE MANAGEMENT COMPANY- Anita Kottsick, Parkview Villa Housing Administrator. Kottsick reported that the carpeting in the front entry and south elevator area has been replaced. These areas will be painted and new mats will be added. She stated the correct date when one of the north boilers went down was December 22, not January 22. The problem was a thermo coupler, which was replaced and within three hours all of the units involved had heat again. Kottsick will obtain a second bid to remodel apartment 106 into a handicap accessible apartment. Ruettimann explained that apartments 106 and 103 need to be changed over to handicap accessible units. Nawrocki questioned how many units were required to be handicap accessible. Kottsick thought 6 units were required. Ruettimarm asked staff to look for any old records to verify the number of handicap units necessary. Use of the new phone number began last week. It did, however, cause some problems. She stated the problems were 1) The main number was not working; 2) Kottsick's second line didn't work; 3) Residents could not be reached by visitors at the front entrance; 4) Two of the elevators did not have working telephone numbers which Quest is working on. The phone problems were fixed last Friday, however, when the area codes changed on Sunday, the phone system went down again. She will continue to work with City staff and the phone company to insure that the problems get fixed as quickly as possible. Ruettimann questioned if the building security doors are still working. Kottsick responded that they are operational. CITIZEN FORUM TO ADDRESS EDA ON MATTERS NOT ON AGENDA. One resident asked for clarification of a rumor about Parkview Villa closing in a year or two, and asked if residents would have a say in thc renewal of the management contract. Ruettimann stated the rumor about Parkview Villa was not true. Schumacher stated the Management Contract will be looked at for possible amendments and will be forwarded to the board before June 1, 2001. Ruettimann asked staff to contact Barnes or Kottsick to obtain a copy of the survey sent to the residents last fall and a copy of the current management agreement for his review. He requested staff send out a resident survey in late January or early February so the EDA can review them at the February 20, 2001 meeting. Another resident asked if Crest View Management would be managing Parkview Villa and the new senior facility being built on Central Avenue. Ruettimarm explained that Crest View will own and manage the new senior assisted living facility. Parkview Villa is owned by the EDA, therefore, management is subject to EDA board discretion. RECOGNITION, PROCLAMATIONS, PRESENTATIONS, GUESTS Ruettimann recognized and congratulated William Cross and Theresa Byzcwski as the newly elected President and Secretary of the Resident Council. PUBLIC HEARINGS - None. Economic Development Authority Minutes January 16, 2001 Page 3 of 4 ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION A. Other Resolutions - None. B. Bid Considerations. 1) Parkview Villa Proximity Readers and Security Camera System- Walt Fehst. Fehst explained the history of the EDA purchasing a security system for Parkview Villa. Fehst reported that he and Tom Johnson, Chief of Police, visited a facility on January 10th to view a colored camera system. They passed around pictures taken by the camera to show how clear these cameras are. Johnson stated the past recorded incidents at Parkview Villa were: 6 in 1996, 15 in 1997, 9 in 1998, ! in 1999, and 8 in the year 2000. Johnson stated the only difference between the proximity cards used at City Hall and the cards to be used at Parkview Villa would be that City staffhas their pictures on them and Parkview Villas residents will have an ID number listed on theirs. Johnson wanted it noted that the cards will only be used for the building doors, not the tenant apartment doors. Elrite referred to the purchase of security cameras for the City Liquor stores, where the black and white pictures were of very poor quality. Faces were very hard to identify. Funds were not available to hire a consultant. Bruce Vogelgesang of Trans-Alarm, Inc. gave a history of his company, what products they made, and the quality of the products they sell. Vogelelgesang explained that the proposal includes installation of a phone modem that would be uploaded to the Police Department and print out a report indicating who came into the building, the time and date. It also covers a one (1) year warranty on the system. Their service department is open 24 hrs a day, seven days a week. The cameras take 6 pictures per minute and normal revisions to the system will be free. If the system should fail, there would be a passkey. The installation will take 4 to 5 weeks. The extra camera at Parkview Villa South will be installed after the ground thaws. A cameras life is approximately 8 to 9 years, and response time for repairs is one to two hours. Nawrocki questioned the cost of each proximity card, as it was not on the proposal. Vogelgesang stated the cards are $4.50 each. Following discussion, Vogelgesang agreed to include 250 cards, at no charge, to the proposal. Theresa Byzewski asked if children of a resident could obtain a security card for emergency situations? Peterson stated additional cards could be made for that purpose, and deactivated if a problem arose. Ruettimann stated this matter should be brought to the Residents Council for a decision. Williams requested that a 3 to 5 year contract be set up for maintenance of the systems. Vogelgesang stated that after the (1) one year warranty they will recommend the EDA purchase a 5 year maintenance contract. Ruettimann suggested the EDA approve the security package with the amendment that Trans-Alarm offer a reasonable maintenance contract. There was some discussion in regards to what type maintenance agreement to choose; the 24 hour/7 day a week, or the 12 hour/5 days a week. The general consensus was to have the agreement for 24 hours/7 days a week. Vogelgesang will draw up the agreement including that type of service plan and present it to the Executive Director and Police Chief for approval. MOTION by Peterson, seconded by Nawrocki, to award the proposal to install Security System Cameras and Proximity Readers to Trans-Alarm, Inc. based upon their proposal dated January 8, 2001 in the total amount of $42,073.33 of which two thirds to be paid from Parkview Villa North CIAP fund 203-46331-5180 and one third from Parkview Villa South Fund balance 213-46340-5180 with the amendment of an additional 250 Proximity Cards added to the proposal at no charge and subject to an acceptable Maintenance Contract; and furthermore, to authorize the President and Executive Director to enter into an agreement for the same.

Walt met today with Nick Skarich, Springsted Inc. in regards to re£mancing the Capital Bonds from the purchase of Parkview Villa beginning in 2005. The rates have gone down to the point where it would be a substantial savings for the City to apply for the re£mancing. Fehst explained that the Bonds are ia the City's name, therefore, this will have to be brought up before the City Council not the EDA, but felt that the Board should be aware of it.

I volunteer whenever possible (question #6). · The lobby in the north building is not very welcoming. I find it dull, drab and institutional. How about some more attractive pictures on the wall or some color! · I have served as Resident Council for 5 years, so have been involved in special events. · I'm not so comfortable as when I first moved in. · The welcome from the office and Crest View has been great!! But, I want someone else to welcome the residents when they come in. · Most residents are fi-iendly and law abiding, but lately the police have been out because of strangers roaming the halls. Also I had a neighbor where the son would come in the middle of the night and yell and swear at her and wake me up until she was hurt one morning. I called 91 ! and now she's in a nursing home. I still fear she will be allowed back and the abuse will go on. I was told by 2 managers here to keep calling the police. Also, by Shirley Barnes, but it was very stressful on me, physically and mentally. I don't feel safe to be in the halls at night. EMERGENCY Survey Results: · 79 People responded in this section · 30 Strongly Agree · 47 Agree · 1 Disagreed · 1 Not Applicable Comments: · This year with the fast fire alarm that went off. Which was outside, but our alarm went off. · I feel that residents who have walkers or get confused should live on thc first or second floor, so they can get out in an emergency. ADMINISTRATION Survey Results: · 79 People responded in this section · 38 Strongly Agree · 37 Agree · 3 Disagreed · 1 Not Applicable Comments: · Forttmately, I never had an emergency but, for what I see around me has been satisfactory. · Some things I feel could be handled better. · Wish managers would stay longer. Hope Anita stays. She's very efficient. · Of the years I've been living here, both Pat and Rueben have been so nice to me. · I moved here at Parkview Villa in July 1997. I am on first floor on the south side apt. #123 and I have felt right at home ever since. All the staff has been just wonderful to me always. · There are many things promised to us, but never come to us. Such as security and new cupboards. MAINTENANCE AND HOUSEKEEPING Survey Results: · 81 People responded in this section · 42 Strongly Agree · 38 Agree · 1 Strongly Disagreed Comments: · 2nd floor tub room has been locked for over one year. · I think applicants for apamnents should be better screened. We do get some undesirable renters! We need better security. · Better since carpet is cleaned. Could use some paint and wash area around elevator doors. I think Bill does an excellent job of monitoring this building considering what he has available to work with. The building could be cleaner. Sometimes I wash the area around the elevator call buttons and the door to the garage. · Fourth floor ceiling where the two buildings are joined is in bad condition for a long time and nothing is done to repair it. If the ceiling falls down I wouldn't be surprised. · The building is beautiful in the summer. · Should go back to senior building. · In the past when we got any snow, we had to move our cars from the lots or they were towed or tagged!! Now it seems like Bill has to wait for hours to get people to move their cars. They should be moved by 7-8 a.m., no later! And if we heard there was going to be snow, we moved our cars the night before. · There should be more than one person to do the work. There are so many repairs that need doing and don't get done. · Billdoes agoodjob! · I was very happy to get a new carpet in the elevator (south) and also getting the front entry painted and new carpet. · There is some need ofrepainting in certain parts but, I know some time the fimding is not always available. · One thing about Bill is that when he fixes something, it works! He's a very hard worker and is very much appreciated. I hope he's appreciated as an employee. · We need more maintenance staff to keep a big apartment complex clean and everything running well. We need better security and people who live here to realize this is other peoples home and not let others have their keys, and who have no respect for others. Question 26. · · · · · · · · · My favorite thing about living at Parkview Villa is: Going for walks and shopping Location It fits my income. No grass to mow or snow to shovel. The people are all very friendly. I needed a place to live with seniors. Being close to the bus and stores. The view. The low rent and the park across from us.

Question 27. The one thing that I can do to improve Parkview Villa is: · I think of it as my own home and mind my own business. · I do a lot of volunteer work here. I here I have been on the board as Treasurer and I work in thc dining room and I also do the decorating for thc different holidays. · To put a grill like those in the parks to barbecue outside, but with a small cover to protect from the sun and 2 benches. · Keep washing the walls at intervals. Keep my apartment as comfy as possible and live my life out of here as much as possible. · Be helpful and friendly to new residents and make them feel welcome and comfortable. · Help keep things neat and clean. · Mind my own business - not gossip. · You tell me. · Keep my unit in good condition. · Pay phone for guests. · Put in new carpeting.

Get more personal with other people. Question 28. Villa is: The one thing that Management and'Staff can do to improve Parkview · Keep doing what they are doing. Maybe a little bit more. · Go to seniors only. We have a mixture of young (some mentally handicapped) and old people. It is a dangerous situation. Old people make young mental health people upset very easily. · Get more help for the Baker's and Bill. · To find a way to talk to the next door neighbor, at Tyler about their motorcycle noise that they generate every summer. It keeps me awake at night. · Nothing came to my attention, which means that everything is fine. All is done well. Thank You! · Hire a company to clean empty apartments. I can't understand why housekeepers do it and take time from their duties to do it. · Make common areas homey. Add some color- it would increase peoples spirits. Keep the place cleaner. · Continue as they are doing. Some help for the care takes in cleaning empty units, would be well appreciated. · Turn it back to a Senior Building. · Not gossip. There are no secrets, if staff knows everyone knows. · Do something about the lack of heat (4607 Tyler). Giving us space heaters isn't appropriate. · Have more help. · Keep inside of building cleaner, than it is know. Cobwebs, vacuuming and basic cleaning is never done. · Keep it up. · Paint my apartment- it's not been painted in 20 years. · Bill is super! I believe that Pat & Ruben could keep the place neater than what they do and when they are to be on call we are never advised. They can never be found. They are not around and don't answer their phone. · Many things again, but then I think we don't have enough help. · To have someone around at all times in case of emergency. · Keep visitors out of assigned parking area. · Don't have any suggestions. They work fine for all of us. · Keep up the good job. · They do a very good job. · Better parking. I feel that top management puts Parkview Villa on the bottom of their list! · Some days there is a terrible noise on the outside. The alley is noisy.

Also some times to go swimming with my friend for a couple hours in the evening and during Church on Sunday. Also to get to Target and Kmart in the summer. · Install a speaker system- this is only one of the things. · More security, more staff for cleaning and repairing. Better background checks on residents before they move in. · No improvements. They're always very kind and helpful. Question 32. Do you feel that the EDA should renew our contract with Crest View Management? · 52 Answered YES · 10 Answered NO · 19 Left the question blank or was unsure Additional Comments: · I think it's time for a change. Someone that is not in the same business. · Crest View does a good job. They make money on this place. Why can't we go back to a manager from the City under the jurisdiction of the EDA. · We could use our own management. More would get one to benefit us and not Crest View. · It takes too long to get any thing done. It took a whole year to get better security after the break in. The ceiling on the 4th floor hall has been leaking since before I moved in. I have brought it up at our meetings but, it still is not fixed. After this long there must be mold. I think the $400 charge to move in the building is wrong as we have to make sure we clean our apartments before moving out, so how much is left to clean, they hire out for carpet cleaning and painting anyway. Bill does a good job on the grounds in the summer time but, why can't he get some part time help so he can do the work needed on the flower beds and the circle under the flags needs a lot of work plus all his other duties. We are still waiting for the outside benches. Is the contract open for bid with other companies? Are they able to do a more effective job? I don't have enough information to make this decision (to renew the contract). · I don't feel Crest View is very concerned with our building except for the money they make. I feel they're pretty confident that they won't lose their contract with the City so, they've become lax in their duties. The last manager (on-site) that seemed to care about the tenants was Jennifier. There is no personal, one-on-one feeling here anymore. · I was told the heat was paid for, but there isn't enough heat coming through the vents. The thermostat does not control the heat. All the caretaker would do is give me electric space heaters, which heat only one room. Plus, I now have to pay the heat, because I pay the electric. This is not a satisfactory solution. I'm not sure it's management's fault, but some,thing needs to be done about the heat in this building for the lower floor. · It has been managed and maintained properly. · There is too much noise in the alley especially at night. In the summer a person could not sleep for all the noise (with the windows closed). · The management is doing a fantastic job! · We never get anything that we are promised; outside benches, which were promised 3 yrs ago and many other things. · Parkview Villa apartments have many good features when one is ill or needs extra help. When I had shoulder surgery, last summer, it was helpful to have a meal from downstairs dining room and have one of the volunteers deliver it. It was not so convenient last Thursday and Friday, not being able to get my cart out of the underground garage to get to work because someone ran into the garage door who shouldn't have been driving or have a place to park downstairs because of his past history of bad driving. I would rather see just seniors come into the building, as having chemically dependent and younger people with problems make it hard for the older seniors who call Parkview their home.

It states that five percent of the dwelling units in a project, to the maximum extent feasible, need to be accessible. Therefore, with 101 units at Parkview Villa we would need to have six accessible. I have clarified with Anita Kottsick, Public Housing Administrator, that currently we have six total units accessible. Four units, which meet the Federal Regulations of lowered cabinets and countertops, and two units that the EDA is currently considering bids to bring them up to a point where they will meet regulation.
