9:45:23 AM	Discussion Neighborhood Stabilization Plan		Present for the discussion were, Deb Gerken from NOCAC, Steve Brown, Regional Planning Director; Amy Metz, Fayette Village Administrator; Tom Hall from the City of Wauseon; Dennis Miller and Liz Keel from Maumee Valley Planning.   Steve Brown stated that there is approximately $950K in funds available for 6 Counties for neighborhood stabilization.  Commissioner Genter stated that pursuant to the meeting on this matter earlier last week, the general discussion is to define what role should these funds provide for.  He noted that Maumee Valley’s thoughts were to help bail out Freddie Mac and take some homes off their docket and rehab them.  He stated that with the rules and regulations in general and by the time all inspections are done and administrative fees are taken out, it does not leave much for anything else.  He asked Ms. Gerken, who had attended a training seminar in this matter, what the goals of the program are.  She stated the following: acquisition and demo; or acquisition, rehab, and resale; or acquisition, demo and land bank, which can be done up to 10 years. Mr. Tom Hall stated that the problem he feels they are facing is how to maximize these funds being that 6 counties and the city of Defiance are involved, with only $950K to be shared.   Commissioner Genter asked what Wauseon was looking at.  Mr. Tom Hall stated that they have 2 lots in Wauseon that were bought and torn down.  There are 2 more adjacent to these properties that can come down also.  This would be entire block that they could rehab.  He said just doing  1 house here or there will not have a significant impact.  Mr. Brown stated that this program is geared more toward the urban areas where it will do the most benefit.   Amy Metz stated that over 40% of all Fayette’s dwellings are rental properties.  Their goal would be to demo the homes that have not been purchased and refurbished and have been left standing.  In many cases, refurbishing is not cost effective.  These would be potential sites for demo and land banking for use by Habitat for Humanity.    Mr. Tom Hall stated that efforts should be combined to maximize the dollars.  He mentioned handling these funds as the state does, in a competitive manner.    Dennis Miller stated that their goals would be to establish multiple target areas and prioritize by gathering local date to find the areas that will provide the most impact for the first round of funding.  There is another meeting on this NSP on February 4 at the Defiance East Complex.  He plans to have generalized target area identified by then.    Mr. Tom Hall stated that he feels the biggest hindrance is not being ready when the funds become available.  He stated that a housing authority should be activated.  A mission statement put in place so the purpose and drive is there to make the most impact on these communities.  This will allow them to have the ability to buy these properties, and seek the grant funds needed to make an impact.   Commissioner Genter stated that he likes the initiative that Fayette has taken with a neighborhood program that improves the community and helps neighbors.  He stated that all communities should have something in place like this to deter the depreciation of these homes.    Commissioner Genter stated that we need to move forward with this, and it will happen quickly.  He further noted that is important to be involved in the first round of funding.
