Housing authority trims budget request; board appoints new member to complete term
Summary
The county housing authority director requested a reduced 2027 budget ($260,000) reflecting paid-off loans and rental income from triplex units; commissioners appointed Brian Payer to fill an unexpired housing authority term through Oct. 26, 2027.
Lindsy Stuki, director of the Coffee County Housing Authority, presented a 2027 operating request of $260,000 (down from $285,000 the prior year). Stuki said a large portion of the reduction reflects the payoff of an earlier loan on one of the authority’s triplex rental properties, reducing ongoing outlays; she also projected rental income and noted continued efforts to secure grants.
Commissioners discussed downtown office location vs. courthouse office space and logistical concerns for clients requiring privacy or ADA access; Stuki said her downtown office supports client confidentiality and accessibility needs and that her lease runs through August 1.
The board then moved and approved the appointment of Brian Payer to fill an unexpired term on the Coffee County Housing Authority board, with the term expiring Oct. 26, 2027.
Why it matters: the housing authority’s scope affects local housing services and rental operations; the appointment fills a board vacancy to restore quorum and oversight.
Next steps: Commissioners placed the housing authority budget on further consideration and directed staff to follow up on board composition and budget details before final appropriation.
