Public Hearings There were no public hearings. 7.1 HRA Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program Update Ms. Othoudt presented the staff report. Commissioner Eder asked if the house was currently on the market and if there was equity to pay both mortgages once the sale went through. Ms. Othoudt stated the home is not currently on the market but the property owners are working towards that.

Chair Toth asked if the amount due for homeowner who is 150 days late includes late fees. Ms. Othoudt stated that information doesn’t show up on the loan report detail. She will have to verify. Commissioner Ovall stated the homeowner who is paying at the end of the month may want to make an extra month’s payment so they’re a month ahead to avoid a late fee.
