DISCUSSION
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires
housing authorities that administer a Section 8 Rental Assistance
program to have an Annual Plan and an Administrative Plan. The purpose
of the Housing Authority's Annual Plan is to advise HUD, program
participants and members of the public of its mission and strategy to
serve the needs of very low-income families. The purpose of the
Administrative Plan is to describe the Authority's policies and
procedures.

The Annual Plan (Exhibit 1) provides detailed information about the
current operations of the Housing Authority, including programs,
participants, services for the upcoming year, and any operational or
tenant concerns. The Authority is required to review its existing
operations and needs on a yearly basis with input from a Tenant Advisory
Committee comprised of Section 8 participants. The Tenant Advisory
Committee met on January 23, 2003 to review the Plan for fiscal year
2003-2004. 1n accordance with federal regulations, all comments from
the January 23 committee meeting have been incorporated into the Annual
Plan.
The Administrative Plan serves as supporting documentation for the
Annual Plan. The Authority's Administrative Plan (Exhibit 2) was last
revised on May 1, 2002. The Administrative Plan must be modified to
ensure compliance with regulatory changes made by HUD and policy and
procedure changes proposed to be implemented by the Authority. Some of
the changes included in the Plan are the policies and procedures
regarding criminal activity, procedures regarding owner or family debts
to the Housing Authority, and deletion of all references to the
certificate program. The changes to the Plan have been highlighted for
your information and review.
HUD regulations require a 45 -day public comment period prior to adopting
revisions to the Administrative Plan. On January 16, 2003 notification
was published that the draft plan was available for review. The public
comment period ended at 12:00 noon on March 4, 2003. All comments
received will be included in the final document submitted to HUD.
