Commissioner Hernandez asked, \"Do they have a final contract with the city?\" The Executive Director (presenter) replied that Centro Comunitario does not have a contract with the city; instead, volunteers provide services primarily for tenants and then for the broader community, and the gym’s primary use is for tenants.

Board members recommended creating a written memorandum of understanding to ensure users follow the authority’s priority rules for tenants and to clarify responsibilities. A commissioner noted the importance of specifying who will pay for maintenance costs; the director said that maintenance responsibility is typically spelled out in a contract and that one other facility operated under a contract whose term is near expiration and would be brought back to the board for a decision about renewal or direct authority management.

No formal action was taken; staff said they will prepare an MOU or similar documentation and will bring the near-expiration contract for the other facility to the board for future consideration.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Nogales Housing Authority, Regular Session.

Executive Director (presenter) told the board the authority’s April data showed a 98% occupancy rate, matching HUD’s target. Public housing leases included four units ready to lease, one in turnaround and four offline; there were two move-ins and two move-outs in the month. The waiting-list breakdown reported by staff showed 18 applicants for one-bedroom units, 75 for two-bedroom, 35 for three-bedroom, six for four-bedroom and one for five-bedroom units.

Staff completed 95 of 102 work orders for the month and reported nine callbacks; many calls were for lockouts and water leaks on the property, the director said. The authority conducted 41 inspections in April: 29 public housing and 12 HCV inspections.

On voucher programs, the director reported 77 HCV vouchers, with 55 executed leases, nine vouchers “on the street” and 13 available; three move-ins and no move-outs were reported for the month. The project-based voucher program had 20 units under lease (of the authority’s 20 allocated) with 38 applicants on that project-based waiting list. Stability vouchers showed four executed leases out of five initially received; emergency-housing allocations had nine executed under lease of 15 originally allocated.

Staff said the HCV waiting list (232 applicants) is separate from the project-based list (38 applicants) and that the authority opened the waiting list in November after exhausting its prior list. The director said the goal had been 250 applicants and that staff will likely close the open waiting list by the end of May after issuing public notice.

Board members asked clarifying questions about waiting-list management and maintenance charges for lockouts; the director said one tenant lockout per tenant is allowed before charging for additional lockouts and that staff track those occurrences.

The director postponed an April/May budget reconciliation until the June meeting because the authority’s fiscal year closed March 31 and accruals affected the April numbers. The director noted that the authority received its 2024 capital funding allocation (obligation start date May 6, 2024) and said staff will proceed with projects listed in the authority’s approved five-year plan.","The authority reported 98% public housing occupancy for April, detailed voucher and project-based voucher counts, maintenance workload and a waiting-list closure expected by month’s end.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6246014,"Nogales housing board adopts procurement policy aligned with federal standards",26,1678821,1705220,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3220368-5aa187b03388d8bd6a5fe18e43d12da4&start=1678&end=1705","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3220368-5aa187b03388d8bd6a5fe18e43d12da4/thumbnail_1678821.jpg","/articles/6246014/Nogales/Santa-Cruz-County/Arizona/Nogales-housing-board-adopts-procurement-policy-aligned-with-federal-standards","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6246014-1cb3e77bf5bc50897ce353261c37412e/orig.mp4?Expires=1777446840&Signature=a7kbXUscfrpzXD8DGUC3nyVUp62-qkeGaAb~kdg6fm-FEoVVpSlEg36woDRAq7u4LZuhXOzBknm2ZY6EJympnKAoZuPaTJD5fKpd3rSQS83-IZfPnmt8MmHTzCJtSzPcsO90-3ExEcxLw23U44zTSCaCPkz-skErwGblX2hsLv7Oohf-KR4BdRLA4Io7pQMokEVFwhMa499kGX1n~9RNSAdRI0VV4zvXq3Mg6xed~w6KCgEJn1T79uaSVxgmK2mC8UPTdqeZBKtTQSpgtg7PskX-XeIe0DX7CFcXT7D2H90IhWC7AJsKQ9Bcm5TdqjVDtLykQs9Xmj6piU4IRQZ~Fw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Housing Authorities of the City of Nogales voted to revise its procurement policy to conform with federal procurement standards at its May 7 meeting, adopting Resolution 2025-0504.

Chairman Maldonado called for a motion on \"Resolution 2025-0504, a resolution of the Board of Commissioners of the Housing Authorities of the City of Nogales revising the procurement policy to conform to the procurement standards identified in 2 CFR 200.317 through 200.327.\" The motion passed after a voice vote; no roll-call tally or mover/second were recorded in the public transcript.

Board members discussed whether the authority should follow the city’s procurement rules if those are stricter than HUD’s. Commissioner Borges noted that \"HUD's procurement policy is a little more lenient than the city's policies\" and that the stricter policy is often recommended. The executive director told the board that the adopted policy is HUD’s procurement policy populated with the Nogales Housing Authority’s name and that if a city policy explicitly named the Nogales Housing Authority then that city policy would be primary.

The resolution aligns the authority’s written procurement procedures with federal requirements in 2 CFR 200.317–200.327 and supersedes earlier local procurement language in previous resolutions. The board did not adopt supplemental city-level procurement language as part of the vote; members suggested staff bring back guidance if the city’s policy is found to explicitly govern the authority.

The resolution passed by voice vote and is effective immediately for authority procurement practice; staff will apply the updated policy to future procurements and report back if a city policy is found to supersede the federal-aligned policy.","The board passed Resolution 2025-0504 to revise the authority’s procurement policy to conform to 2 CFR 200.317–200.327; board members discussed whether to also follow the city's stricter procurement rules.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6246017,"Nogales Housing Authority outlines HUD compliance findings and corrective actions",982,61231,1043514,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3220368-5aa187b03388d8bd6a5fe18e43d12da4&start=61&end=1043","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3220368-5aa187b03388d8bd6a5fe18e43d12da4/thumbnail_61231.jpg","/articles/6246017/Nogales/Santa-Cruz-County/Arizona/Nogales-Housing-Authority-outlines-HUD-compliance-findings-and-corrective-actions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6246017-c4ab9783a819b16875779acb779b4c60/orig.mp4?Expires=1777446840&Signature=dySiCFDDjNIAzNSutLxBskaCBUYJFxkSklRVMpnFvHZ7Znjf3zuW74hh6~fBYknmavTtKfH5mGgzwTzjrmK2snX0O2XiAMLSrPJz6iFyB9pjzwzl15rLvlFYrohe~hbraKgNuCZeDHPjhQr9cXa8uY4IjRLFISgYv8Mvcz8-BO4L04zwGec070mJ7CZcsgPwBwsAdGDxNKzfnaJ0zGHxXHVbf5HyeuqqqKw2fqY9EsNonLKVjUijwr9yKIxliD2zMWCgE9j~bbQRXd93p-PM39AOKZpYPzTlDYX27MZ-MUrGqgpStum~8V9UTK-WgG6HIFf43N5ssc5f0fytbuUzRw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Housing Authorities of the City of Nogales discussed results of a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development monitoring review at a May 7 board meeting and outlined corrective steps for multiple findings, the authority’s executive director said.

The monitoring review covered governance, housing choice vouchers (HCV), public housing and procurement policies, and produced findings that the authority must address. Executive Director (presenter) told the board the review produced no finance findings but cited governance gaps — including missing a state-specific criminal-history question on the application — and recordkeeping shortfalls that must be fixed.

The director said the application was updated to add a question about past states of residence and that change was completed on April 28, 2025. The authority also created time sheets to document staff time in line with its cost-allocation plan and submitted those forms to the HUD field office, the director said.

On records management, the HUD report required that certain criminal-record documents be destroyed after use and that the authority keep a destruction log. The director said staff must remove older records from files and create a log noting an individual’s name, that the record was obtained and the date it was shredded; she gave an anticipated completion date of June 2025 for that work because it requires review of past files.

The report also flagged HCV tenant files for incomplete documentation of third-party income verification in some cases. The director said the public-housing specialist worked with HUD staff to address the named tenant files and that corrected materials were submitted; she marked those items completed on May 6, 2025.

Another finding related to application of payment standards for HCV tenants. The director briefed the board on the authority’s policy to set payment standards within HUD’s prescribed range, and said the authority will perform a more detailed review to ensure participants needing special accommodations are properly covered before such exceptions are authorized.

Finally, the director described a case in which the total tenant payment (TTP) and utility allowance were miscalculated, and staff retroactively corrected the utility allowance for an affected tenant; the tenant will receive back pay for the allowance that should have been included. The director said these retroactive corrections have been processed.

Board members asked clarifying questions during the presentation; there was no formal vote on the compliance report itself. The board received the report and directed staff to complete the listed corrective actions and continue coordination with the HUD field office.

The authority said it will return to the board with policy updates and other documentation as the corrective actions are implemented.","The Housing Authorities of the City of Nogales reviewed a HUD monitoring report at its May 7 meeting, described ten findings across governance, procurement and tenant files, and presented specific corrective actions with dates for completion and follow-up.","actionData","errors"]
