Marion County forgives $120,000 loan repayment to Housing Authority; public urged to back agency budget
Summary
The Marion County Board of Commissioners approved an order forgiving a $120,000 loan repayment obligation for the Marion County Housing Authority and received public comment urging approval of the authority's budget.
The Marion County Board of Commissioners on May 8 unanimously approved an order forgiving the Marion County Housing Authority's $120,000 loan-repayment obligation under an intergovernmental agreement dated June 25, 2014.
The action came as a member of the public urged the board to approve the Housing Authority's budget. "Wants to see the budget approved for the Marion County Housing Authority," public commenter David Beam said during the public comment period.
The loan forgiveness appeared on the meeting's consent agenda and was adopted by voice vote after Commissioner Colm Willis moved to approve the consent items and Commissioner Sam Brentano seconded. Commissioners Kevin Cameron, Sam Brentano and Colm Willis voted in favor.
County staff provided no additional debate on the consent calendar item during the meeting; the written consent language references the intergovernmental agreement dated June 25, 2014 as the basis for the loan obligation. The board took no separate motion or amendment specific to the Housing Authority item.
Next steps: The order forgiving the loan was adopted on the consent calendar and no further public hearing or separate deliberation was recorded during the session.
