?0 Daylight Savings Time ( 'Winsi ^ S ^ VOL. VI NO. 35 t S.I'.S. NO. 0 Agreements "V T A _ in ever j\n Issue-Haley By Donna Dldharrr Staff Writer The executive director of the Housing Authority of Winston-Salem says that he is ready to sign recognition agreements for alt of the seven Turnkey 111 developments I in Winston-Salem. James K. Haley said that all of the seven Turnkey 111 developments "were recognized all the time," despite the fact that a piece of paper saying "recognition" had not been signed. "The recognition agreement has never been an issue," said Haley. "Obviously we recognize them because we were working with the residents," he said Wednesday, Recognition agreements^ and Homebuyers Associations have been the subject of articles run by The Chronicle for the past two weeks after Turnkey residents voiced displeasure over their lack of recognition and management responsibilities. "The issue of recognition agreements was never raised until the residents of Kingston Greens contacted Ben Erlitz. (Erlitz is an attorney with Legal Aid of Northwest N.C.). The issues of management have never come up, we work diligently" Haley said. Haley added that despite comments from the authori ty*s director of community services two weeks ago that Turnkey residents were "not ready to manage their own developments, he personally has never questioned the resident's capabilities. Although Kingston Greens will become the first Turnkey development in Winston-Salem to get an official recognition agreement signed, all the developments in Wilmington, Raleigh and Charlotte have the documents signed,according to Federal officials. ' According to Robert Fields, FIUD deputy director of ?housing for management in Greensboro, there are no set requirements for a recognition agreement. "The residents must work with the agency in the area,"he said. t Fields explained that evgp with a rwa|?itiin ogMn ment that the Turnkey developments would still not be given the responsibilities of managing and maintaining the developments on their own until at least 60 per cent of the homes had been sold per development. "When 60 per cent of the homes have been sold, then the Homebuyers Association becomes the Homeowners Association. A new group is formed and they enter into a new agreement about the management processes. None have reached that point however." Fields said. Haley said that he has no qualms about signing the recognition agreements of other Turnkey 111 developments. "People should meet with me, to get the papers signed since I'm the one that has to sign the agreements anyway. These recognition agreements have never been an issue, that is, not until now," Haley said. 2 I Human Relations ~ Nominees Sought r Winston-Salem Mayor Chambers. Wayne A.
