2. ACTION AGENDA  
a. Resolution No. HC-01 ratifying articles of incorporation; adopting 
Bylaws; electing officers; authorizing corporate seal; authorizing the 
opening of bank accounts; authorizing applying for a tax 
identification number and 501(c)(3) status; authorizing the adoption 
of a fiscal year; authorizing organizational activities; authorizing 
reimbursement for expenses incurred; authorizing applying for and 
accepting grants and/or donations; and ratifying actions taken in the 
formation of the Corporation or commencement of business. 
 
President Wille asked Travys Harvey to walk the Board through the 
components of Resolution No. HC-01. Ms. Harvey began by reviewing the 
organizational chart for the Villas on McQueen project. Ms. Harvey then

entertained questions regarding the Bylaws. Discussion regarding officer 
roles and how to change the make-up of the Board was discussed. The 
Board can be modified at the annual meeting in June of each year. The 
Board can take action through written unanimous consent, however it is 
recommended that the annual meeting be held in person. It was decided 
that the Public Housing Accountant will be responsible for the filing of 
financial documents and annual reports. 
 
Further discussion was had regarding setting up a separate account for 
the organization. The Board will mirror the actions taken with the 
Chandler IDA. The City Council will need to approve an amendment to the 
Bylaws should there be one. For future projects, Council will provide 
authority through the approval of the development agreement. President 
Wille will apply for the EIN for both entities. 
 
Vice President Bass made a motion to approve Resolution No. HC-01 with 
a second from Treasurer Lang. The motion passed unanimously. 
  
 
b. Resolution No. HC-02 to engage in certain actions and transactions 
in connection with the implementation of the Rental Assistance 
Demonstration Program and redevelopment of the Villas on 
McQueen, including ratifying articles of organization of Villas on 
McQueen CHCS, LLC.  
 
President Wille asked Travys Harvey to walk the Board through the 
components of Resolution No. HC-02. Ms. Harvey shared that there needs 
to be a separate EIN and there will be a very basic operating agreement 
with the lenders for the Villas on McQueen project.  
 
Treasurer Lang made a motion to approve Resolution No. HC-02 with a 
second from Vice President Bass. The motion passed unanimously. 
 
Staff provided an update on the status of the Villas on McQueen project.
