Adjournment December 2, 1980 P i K.Ju h Hancy Brat.rud HUD Area Office 6400 France Avenue South Edina, MN 55424 Dear Nancy, Enclosed is the worksheet done by your audit people last March with an indica- tion of what has been done in terms of compliance.. May I state for the record several points in regard to the way the entire review of Section 8 operations was conducted in Plymouth, as follows: I. The bulk of the errors found by your staff were of quite an insignificant nature and had little or no tearing on improving -the authority's delivery of Services to the recipient. Some interpretation errors were made and where money was owed corrections were made and in one case the refund hiz been made. 2. The complexity of the program promotes errors, inasmuch as the present' emphasis is on a. great deal of paper work--transfering figures from one sheet to another, signing numerous documents of dubious value --in other words. a grand paper shuffle with little apparent thought of the recipient and how it may provide him/her with adequate housing. I A quick review of each person's record that was audited finds the following: A. Galloway --On my closer review of the case I found out she had neglected to declare certain social security income and this added income brought her total income up to a place where no refund was due her. B. Thompson --No decrease took place in her income so no change was necessary. C. Buckley--Ily error inasmuch as d used the 25% formula and not the 15% formula in. arriving at his rent contribution. He -is about to be reimbursed. D. Messner --Utility allowance and garage. rent cancelled each other out. Poor bookkeeping on my part; however, no refund is due. E. Meyer --Some incomechange did take place but this will be taken care of in the next two weeks. The basic change was one of child support pay- ments replacing AFDC payments. 3400 PLYMQUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55441, iFLEPHONE 16t2) 559 2800 c ap>cy Bratrud December x, 1980 Page TWO F. Lund --This couple have been certified as presently eligible and initially eligible. Misinformation given to me by your staff created some very trying moments for these folks. I was informed at one time that they were not eligible If their current #more was over the Section 8 Limits,; however, this is not the case with existing Section8renters. Again, the comalesity of the -regulations caused the problem. The Lunds provided me with very thorough documentation and a letter from their doctor regarding their need for a two bedroom unit. 4. Would you please inform -e how the various reporting documents required byFWDimprovetheoverallSection8, Program? I am thinking in terms of cost effectiveness, more prompt delivery of assistance to the, recipient, etc.,. and not in terms: of "snow -jobbing". GAO or Congress. When a Section 8 renter asks me VIn whys and wherefowes of various forms, I have to have an answer. Likewise, I believe: the HUD offices should start showing the PHAs what they,do with all the information they require PHAs to produce. Sincerely, Milt Dale.

The costs associated with collection of past due rents is quite significant, and, unless this trend reverses Immediately, these costs may be reflected in higher rents for those who pay late. Since 95Z of our residents pay promptly on the first, we refuse to pass the collection charges on to those residents, hence, the following practices are now in effect: 1. $20.00 charge for any rent not paid by the first. 2. $20.00 charge for N.S.F. checks and $20.0, late fee. 3. One N.S.P. check will mean that all future rental payments must be made by cash, or money -order form, only. 4. Unlawful Detainers will be filed on the 3rd of the month on those not paid. 5. in the event that we must resort to court action, the resident must pay all court, attorney, and filing fees, in addition to rent and late charges. 6. Any resident who is served with two (2) Unlawful Detainere In a twelve (12) month period will be required to vacate the premises. 7. All deliquencies resulting in court action are reported to "Rental Research Services" and become part of their computer files, which are perpetually active. You can help in keeping rental rates from escalating, as well as avoiding a poor rental reference by paying promptly. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.

As I indicated In my letter of November 25, a number of modifications to H.R. 5741 were made as part of the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1980. That bill has since been passed by both the House and the Senate and sent to the President for his signature. In addition to the changes in H.R. 5741 that were included in the Reconciliation bill, an amendment affecting the arbitrage restrictions has also been approved by both Houses of Congress. This past Saturday, the House and Senate approved a very modest proposal intended to simplify the computations and administrative requirements under the arbitrage provisions. Specifically, the amendment allows an issuer to return arbitrage earnings on all non -mortgage investments to the U.S. Treasury, rather than to the mortgagors (as mandated in H.R. 5741). Additionally, the amendment allows the Secretary of the Treasury the flexibility, either by regulation or on a case by case basis, to recognize simplified accounting systems which meet the 1% arbitrage limitations required under present law. An amendment carrying both of the above arbitrage provisions was tacked cn to one of the miscellaneous tax bills pending in the Senate, passed, and subsequently adopted by the House. The President Is likely to sign the bill into law in the near future. After 20 months of work on this issue, it appears that there are still flaws in the final legislation adopted by Congress. It is difficult to predict at. this time just what impact the law will have on mortgage revenue bond activities, although it is likely that they will be slowed by the restrictions In the bill. While Congress is not anxious to take up this complex issue again, further modifications by the 97th Congress may be necessary. If you have specific questions regarding this, or other, issues, please let me know.
