PRESENTATION BY DIANE DAVIS
Diane Davis, Manager, Klamath First Federal spoke to the Commission about the
process a home buyer goes through when taking out a mortgage loan. She described
the types of low income loans such as a five percent down plus closing costs, a ten
percent down loan, or a low income housing loan (which is not used in Ashland because
house prices are higher). Kenefick wondered if the Housing Commission could send a
letter to Klamath First explaining Ashland's higher priced market and ask that they
review so Ashland could participate.
HUD LIMITS
Ware is still working on putting together housing information to present to HUD to raise
the HUD limits. Kenefick suggested if Ware cannot find all the information he is looking
for to contact Ron Wyden's office.
ANNEXATION
The revisions to the annexation ordinance will be coming up on the next Council
agenda. It was decided that a letter should be written from the Affordable Housing
Commission to the Council.
ADJOURNMENT
The meeting was adjourned at 5:30 p.m.
