Summary
At its Jan. 22 special meeting the Dunn County Housing Authority approved minutes, accepted the managers’ Q4 2025 report, discussed an Incentive Buyback Program, reviewed finances and bills, and heard a timeline for a voluntary transfer of Housing Choice Voucher program funds to Stark County Housing Authority.
The Dunn County Housing Authority met in special session on Jan. 22, 2026. President David Twist called the meeting to order at 4:30 P.M.; board members Amannda Bangert, Matt Oase and Dave Olson were recorded as present. Manager Kevin Karvonen provided the quarterly report for the fourth quarter of 2025 and the board voted to accept it.
Board Member Amannda Bangert moved to approve the Oct. 15, 2025 regular quarterly meeting minutes; Board Member Matt Oase seconded. The board took a roll-call voice vote and all members voted aye, carrying the motion. Later, Oase moved to accept the manager’s quarterly report "from Managers Kevin & Lena Karvonen," Bangert seconded, and the board again recorded an all-aye roll-call vote.
Karvonen reviewed the authority’s financial position: checking $130,450.31; savings $12,589.96; total in the bank $143,040.27. Deposits recorded were $6,600 in November, $6,685 in December (which the minutes note includes an $85 MDU bill), and $6,600 in January. The minutes list current bills and payments including $1,840.00 to Orlandos Versatile Construction for paint on unit 585, manager payments to Kevin Karvonen ($600 for November, December and January), utility and maintenance charges, and other line items.
The board discussed the Incentive Buyback Program and agreed to follow up with contractors to determine interest; the minutes do not record a motion to change program terms or to appropriate funds. Derek Johnson, executive director of the Cass County Housing Authority, joined via Teams at 5:22 P.M. and presented a detailed summary and timeline for a voluntary transfer of the Dunn County Housing Authority’s Housing Choice Voucher program funds to the Stark County Housing Authority. The presentation described the transfer timeline and summary but the minutes do not record any formal action by the Dunn County board on the transfer.
The board set the next special meeting for Feb. 4, 2026 at 4:30 P.M. and the next quarterly meeting for April 15, 2026 at 5:00 P.M., both in the Veterans’ room at the Dunn County Courthouse. With no further business, Bangert moved to adjourn, Oase seconded, and the meeting adjourned at 6:08 P.M.
Financial details and the full list of bills are recorded in the minutes; the minutes are noted as subject to review and revision.
