According to news paper reports an indictment was issued against a member of the Housing Authority admin istrat ive staff for perjured testinrony b< fore the grand jury, which indirectly relates to Pract ices of the Aul hority Also, in explanation of the statement in the Council Memo that two new commission members have been appointed since the investigation, it should be pointed out that two conmission members resigned, allegedly at the request of the grand jury. The intent of the above is for clarification purposes only. Respect f I y submi tted , N. Ross City Manager I t Counci I Agenda I tem No. V.C. July 27, 1971 t T0: Mayor and Members of Council FROM: City Manager D SUBJECT: 0klahoma City Housing Authority Supplemental Report JUL 27 |e1t Three weeks ago, at the Council meeting of July 6, Mrs. Paul ineBY THE crTY GouNclL Litteral presented a petition to the City Council asking for an -"-/.,,;l*- ^.-.^, investigation of the Oklahoma City Housing Authority. Speci ri""ffi!/"7 crrYcLERK Mrs. Litteral outlined eight issues which she felt were worthy of the Counc i I rs ser ious cons iderat ion. I t shoul d be po i nted out that the petition itself, containing some 3000 signatures, cal ls for the fol Iowi ng: r|THE UNDERSIGNED, BETNG RESTDENTS, TAXPAYERS, AND C tTtZENS, concerned with the future of Oklahoma City and having been made aware of the publ ic housing program as conducted in Oklahoma Cit y and of the various contentions as to the conduct, management, and future planning of the Oklahoma City Housing Authority and its managers, directors, and commissioners, feel that a ful l, thorough, and complete investigation and inquiry of said Oklahoma City Housing Authority and publ ic housing in general should be made forthwi th. IIIT IS THEREFORE RESPECTFULLY REQUESTED AND DEMANDED that the Mayor and City Council forthwith conduct a full and complete investigation and inquiry of all facets of the Oklahoma City Housing Authority and publ ic housing in general, coming within the purview of the Mayor and City Council. At the request of the Council that this office look into the eight issues raised by Mrs. Litteral, we presented to the Council for review and comment on points 2, 3,4 and 7 on July 14,1971 (see attachment "C"). At that time we indicated that we had asked the Executive Director of the Housing Authority to respond to those points which required more information or research than could be generated by this office in two weeks time. Attachment rrArr is the response of Mr. Joe Whorton, Executive Director, and Attachment rrBrr is information pertinent to point #2 on the petition. ln reviewing this petition request in the total Iight of information and circumstances surrounding the operation of the Oklahoma City Housing Authority, the fol lowing is pertinent to the current issue being dealt with by the City Council. t page two Counc i I Agenda I tem No. V. C. July 27, 1971 Last summer, Iess than one year ago, an Oklahoma county Grand Jury investigated the Housing Authority, including operations with and personnel, the result that no indictments were issued. since that time, a new Executive Director has been appointed and two new members of the five man Board have been appointed. Also, all five of the major staff members of the Authority have been in their current slots since July, 197 0. Presently there are two appointments to this Board pend ing. V/hile the functions of the Authority are given to the attraction of a great deal of publ icity, we do not feel that the Authority has yet had the opportunity to improve operations or the opportunity to establ ish a performance record since the recent turnover of Board and Executive Personnel . l^/hen and if specif ic nratters of Iaw or criminal acts come into question, as they might relate to the operation or the personnel of the Authority they should be dealt with by properly constituted legal means. Also, recourse is avai lable when' serious questions judgment of arise on a given instance. The pending injunction against the building of Peachtree Housing project is an of such rJcourse. Another instance of recourse is del iberation"^arple of the residency question of Mr. Larry l^/olf , currently in the Council Committee on tegislation. It is highly questionable whether a full scale investigation of the Authority would yierd fruitfur returns at this time, as any new procedupes, personnel or practices that might come from the investigation would have to have sufficient time to be tested just as is being proposed by this office at the present time with regard to i6" Housing Authority Administration. lt is the feel ing of this "urrent that the off ice effectiveness of any operation can only be hampered if it is subjected to continual investigations or inquiri"r. This true is especial Iy if such actions occur before a new administration has had the oPportunity to improve upon problems that have been developed several over years. Another invest igat ion at th i s t ime, before concrete there i s evidence to indicate tiat such an investigation is warranted, could serve to further weaken the effectiveness of the Authority, demoral ize and al ienate the tenants of the various projects, and create further doubt and suspicion among the citizens or ott"Lor" city. It is the recommendation of this office that the Mayor and Council, being :T::^:i^l?:-t.:!lems of ll" pust, and beins cosnizant of the city,s responsrDr r rty rn this matter, allow the Authority the opportunity to improve their own procedures in del ivering to the tenants of the housing projects as wer I as to the citizens Jr ah" city the kind of page three Counci I Agenda Item No. V.C. July 27, 1971 services demanded. At any such future time as the Authority has had the opportunity to prove its effectiveness or, if at anytime any information or evidence is developed that indicates that there is reason to conduct an investigation, this Administration would recommend immediate action, and aid in such an investigation in any appropriate way.

Ross, City Manager 302 Municipal Buil-ding 200 North Walker Oklahona City, Oklatroma 73L02 Dear Mr. Ross: This is in response to your request for information requested by Mis. Pauline Litteral at the City Council- meeting of June 29, L97L. With respect to point ll2 on the Lltteral- Petition, and your response included in Councll Memo No. 1009-71, dated Jul-y J-3, L97L, I am attaching a copy of the more slgnificant achievements of the Oklahoma City Housing Authority since the time of the Federal audlt. Point /15 on the Lltteral Petltion is covered by numerous State Statutes and the City Charter, specifically prohibiting conflicts of interest. I have no evidence of any public connection betwfen the Okl-atroma City Housing Authority and City officials. Further, I have no information that social "connectionstt violate any statute. With respect to point 116, eff.ective January 1 , L97L, the Okl-ahoma City Housing Authority initiated an accurat,P accounting of al-l mainten€mce repairs by work order. Based on the six month reporded history, and past experience, vandal- ism and theft costs this past fiscal year amounted to approximately $48,000. The najority of vandal-ism occurs on vacEmt units and as our occupancy has increased from a low of 76% overall to the currett high ot 937" overal-l, the vandalism has decreased. At thls time, the Maintenance Department does not rehab a unit until a tenant is available to lease in. Thf.s procedure cuts down on vandal-ism since rehab units are not left vacant for 1o1g periods of time. With respect to point /18, the 0kl-ahoma City Housing Authority in compli- ance with State Statutes, as a publ-ic agency, does not hol-d closed or secret meet- ings. For well- over a year, all Board meetings have been hel-d in the City Council Chambers, and notice of sald meetings printed in area ner4rspapers. Further, all- items acted on are circulated to the CDmrissioners and the working press in at- tendance at the meeting. The procedure followed is exactly the same as that of the City of Oklahoma City. a a Mr. N. Ross Page 2 I hope this response will satisfy the request of Mrs. Litteral. I would point out that all Housing Authority documents are public records and availabl-e for inspection. Further, speaking for the Board of Couulissioners, we are interested in any specific incident or allegation of mismanagement or mis- dealing. It is virtually impossible to respond to generalities, but not so im- possible to respond to specific inquiri.es. If anyone tras knowledge and is wil-l-ing to share the specifics of such knowledge, we wouLd be more than happy to cheek same and respond to your office. Respectfully tted, doseph trI. Whorton, Bxecutive Director JWW:njb .-'-a- | Attachment rrBrt PROGRESS RE?ORT ' Iluring the past year, the Okl,atroma City Housing Authorlty has endeavored to make a fresh approach of both the tapk of bullding housing projects and the task of managing and maintaining these proJ{cts. This new approach recognlzes the past hlstory of the Authority, the advice anld counsel of professionals involved ln pub- 1lc housing, and the lnput and concernd of the citizens who live in the projecis themselves, and those of the larger cor'fnunlty. The more significant changes imple- uexlted in the past year ne as fol-lows: New Policy - General Occupancy: ' Ihe Board of Corrmlssioners took formal- actl-on in April to conrmit them- selves to bullding projects of far lesger density than has prevlously been the case, and more partLcularly to begin inplemeqtation of a progrrm to build scattered site slngle farnll-y housing. The flrst phasg of this new poiicy aras lmplemented with the adoptlon of the revising program for ttle proposed project at S.W. 8th & pennsylvania. The revlsion provides for changlng the proJect from 200 unlts of nulti-fanily to 100 units of slngle famlly, free-standing structures. Urban Renewal Revisions : fhe Board of Corn'nissloners fornally changed the proposed development of the John F. Kennedy 4th Street area from "D" multi-family structures to "A" single famlly scattered and cluster units. Revised Develo t Standards: Ihe Board of Comrissioners has adopted and inirplemented revlsed develop- ment standards as subui.tted by the admi-nistration. These standards provide for increased specifications on the structures themseLves and will lnsure that all future proJects are of quality materials withl increased durability. Internal procedures have been adopted which provide for closer scrutiny and checking of all plans to in- sure that s.me meet specifications, ed loca1 sEandards. Revlsed Leaslng Procedures : The division of Leaslng was lcreated, and all appllcant lnformation was computerized insuring accuracy and to bpeed the process of offering units on a flrst-come-first-serve basis. The conputer 1lst, along with increased staff and necessary staff trainlng, has vastly itrrcreased the ablllty of the Ilouslng Authority to lease its r-rnits. As a result, occ{pancy has risen from a low of 767, Ld Septernber to an alLtine l:.igh 93%. A11 projects,except Hanilton Courts are Ln excess of.9O"l occupied. Revlsed Personnel Policies and Pay Plan: Personnel pol-icies of the Authorlty have been revised so as to better conmunicate to each employee his respensibility, function and obllgatlon. In addi- tion, a new pay plan was adopted along with Job descriptions, and providing com- peasation on an equitable basis for work perforrned. Central Off ice Reorsanlzation : Ttre Central Office administrative staff was reduced fron 19 to six, pro- vlding for the creation of five departments - one department head for each of the departments, and an Executive Director. Implementation of Courmunity Services Proeram: I A Comunlty Senrlces departtent was createdrand the staff devoted to thls enterprise increased from one to 11. Wlth the increased staff, all conrmunlty build- lals were open and programs providing both adult, and youth recreation and social servlces actlvlties tras lmplemented. Reorganization' of MaLntenanee: A Departuent of Maintenance rras created provlding central coatrol and slngle responslbility for all mair:-rtenance actlvlties. This revision provlded for I maintenance men asslgned to each proJee and the creatioa of speci.alty crews to handle carpetlng, palnttng, electrieal-, 1ar.ra care. Along with the revlsion ln manpower and staffing, a program of orders was initiated providing more accurate Lnformation regarding cost and increasing the corrmunication regarding units needing maintenance. A system of work orders allowed the Authority to maice equltable and fair charges to ts who were responsible for danage and to the contractor lf the work requlred a result of error on his part. Overall the malntenance functlon has reduced nr:mber of units needing maintenance from a hlgh of 400 to 145, in a perlod of ei t months. 't u o--.-..--. -, -. - . J eph W.

The addendum, containing eight (8) issues was provided at the request of the City Counci I that more specific detai ls be provided regarding the citizens' concern over Publ ic Housing Administration. The addendum to the petition is attached. As requested by the City Council at last weekts meeting, the Administration has reviewed the eight points presented by Mrs. Paul ing Litteral with respect to the Oklahoma City Housing Authority. The points covered in Mrs. Litteralts petition dealt with both the policy activities of the Authority as wel I as certain administrative practices. The activities of the Oklahoma city Housing Authority are governed by federal law, federal rules and guidelines adopted by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, state statutes, Iocal ordinances, and policy and cooperation agreements between the Authority and the City of Oklahoma City. Given these perimeters, the resolution of some of those questions and issues presented in Mrs. Litteral rs petition, some of which were complex and would require diligent attention, cannot be dealt with at this time. To have any reaction to such questions at this time, after only a week's part time perusal by the Administrative staff, would result in the most superficial kind of recommendation. At this time the Administration is prepared, however, to make some suggestions in reaction to those points in Mrs. Litteral's petition which did not call for legal judgments or extensive research. They are: page two Item No. Extra July 14, 1971 Point #2 on the Litteral Petition: I'We suggest that an independent Certified Publ ic Accounting Firm audit the complete set of books of the Housing Authority for three years prior to this date, and that the results of the audit be made available to the general publ ic." 0n August !, 1970 the Department of Housing and Urban Development completed an activities audit of the Oklahoma City Housing Authority (a copy of this audit is on file in the City Managerrs office) for the period of July l,1967 through March 31, 1970. The HUD audit I isted numerous management and administrative deficiencies regarding the administrations of Mr. Tolbert El I iott and Mr. clayton Fondren, Executive Directors for that period. It has been reported that there are no specific requirements for annual audits or reviews by HUD or by State law. The Housing Authority is required to submit an annual report to the Mayor and City Counci I and this requirement has been compl ied with. However, the annual report does not constitute an audit. lt is prepared by the Housing Authority for public use. It is recommended that the City Council request an annual audit by an independent certified publ ic accounting firm, to be provided to the City Council within 90 days of the close of each fiscal year. This recommendation relates to the financial records of the Authority and should not be considered as an audit of compliance with HUD requirements or state laws regarding operating procedures. lt is our understanding that the Department of Housing and Urban Development conducts periodic audits, at Ieast once each three years, which determine compl iance with federal and state requirements. FUrther, we have requested that the Executive Director of the Housing Authority furnish this office with a list of any changes instigated at the Authority as a result of the last HUD review. Point #3 on the Litteral Pe tition: "A thorough investigation and determination of the rules and regulations as to the eligibility for occupancy of public housing should be determined, and if it is determined that said rules and regulations are not compatible with the intent and purpose of publ ic housing, necessary modifications should be made, including adequate methods of enforcing said rules and regulations and a constant check to determine the eligibility of all residents.rl page three Item No. Extra July 14, 197t Point #3, continued El igibi I ity requi rements for publ ic housing are establ ished in specific guidel ines and legislation of the federal government and state laws. The Iocal authorities must comply with these requirements by establ ishing local el igibil ity pol icies which comply in al I regards with federal and state requirements. A copy of the Housing Authority eligibility requirements is attached, as well as a copy of the Federal occupancy procedures, adopted by HUD. A determination of compliance with these requirements in the past could only be accomplished by a detailed review of all individual appl ications for publ ic housing. Such a review would entail determining el igibility on an individual basis by confirming al I information suppl ied by the individual appl icants. Determination of this nature could not be made by this office due to the extremely large number of appl ications, residents and hous i ng un i ts. Point #4 on the Litteral Petition: "A study of the need of public housing within the City of 0klahoma City should be made and upon this determination the public should be advised so that they may know the extent of the public housing commitments, duration, and al I other aspects." ln the summer of 1965 the City of Oklahoma City completed the "Community Development Programrr which assessed all factors of urban deterioration and remedial programs available to solve these problems. lncluded in that report was an inventory of housing conditions, population, income, etc. which establ ished the need for public housing in conjunction with other federal programs be i ng undertaken . More recently, the City of Oklahoma City is in the process of developing a systematic process by which al I housing units, conditions, occupancy and Iocation will be maintained on an updated basis. This is being accompl ished as a part of the Planning Departmentrs Community Renewal Program. The result of this effort will provide the basic data for a continuing review of al I aspects of the need for publ ic housing. page four Item No. Extra July I4,1971 Point #7 on the Litteral Petition: 'rls Larry t^lolf el igible to be on the Housing Authority since he admits he resides in Forest Park?" The question of eligibility of Mr. Larry Wolf to serve on the Housing Authority Board of Commissioners has been researched and a Municipal Counselor's opinion, dated March 2!, 1958, prepared regarding this matter. The apparent conclusion of this opinion is that Larry l./olf is not el igible to serve on the Housing Authority Commission. A copy of this opinion is attached. The Administration has asked Mr. Joe Whorton, Director of the Oklahoma City Housing Authority, to respond to the other items on the petition. ln this way we can better review the present situation, and will be better prepared to respond to those petition points within two weeks.
