     Defendants.

___________________________________

Plaintiff United States and Defendants, Camden Property Trust, Camden Subsidiary II, Inc., George F. Tibersherany, and Becker Built, agree to the terms of this Consent Decree resolving the Complaint filed by Plaintiff United States. Defendant Robert V. Jones is not a party to this Consent Decree and this Decree does not resolve any of the claims the United States may have against Defendant Robert V. Jones.

On February 1, 1999, the United States filed its Complaint alleging violations of Section 804 (f) (1)-(3) of the Fair Housing Act, 42 U.S.C. § 3604 (f) (1)-(3), as amended by the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, 42 U.S.C. §§ 3601-3619 (the Act). Specifically, the United States' Complaint alleges that the defendants have engaged in a pattern or practice of discrimination by failing to design and construct Oasis Canyon Apartments; Oasis Del Mar Apartments; Oasis Pines Apartments; Rock Creek Manor Condominiums; Oasis Reef Apartments; Oasis Rose Apartments; Oasis Vinings II Apartments; Oasis Vintage Apartments; and Oasis Hills Apartments, all located in Las Vegas, Nevada, with the features of accessible and adaptable design set forth in 42 U.S.C. § 3604(f)(3)(C).

Defendant Camden Property Trust is a Texas real estate investment trust operating through its wholly owned subsidiary, Defendant Camden Subsidiary II, Inc. Camden Property Trust succeeded to the business of Oasis Residential, Inc. (Oasis)⁽¹⁾, including the ownership and control of the multifamily dwellings constructed and/or operated by Oasis after Oasis merged with Defendant Camden Subsidiary.⁽²⁾ In addition to the seven Oasis properties named in the United States' Complaint, Camden succeeded to the ownership and control of 11 other properties that were constructed by Oasis. Although these properties were not alleged to have violated the Act in the United States' Complaint, Camden has agreed to include them in the resolution of this case. Those properties include the following: (a) Oasis Harbor I; (b) Oasis Gateway; (c) Oasis Meadows; (d) Oasis Tiara; (e) Oasis Pointe; (f) Oasis Place; (g) Oasis Glen; (h) Oasis Sands; (i) Oasis Crossings; (j) Oasis Bel Air II; and (k) Oasis Summit.⁽³⁾

Defendant George F. Tibsherany Incorporated (Tibsherany) designed all of the Oasis properties named in the United States' Complaint except for Oasis Hills Apartments. Defendant Becker Built constructed Oasis Hills Apartments.

The Act provides that, for non-elevator residential buildings with four or more dwelling units, all ground-floor units that are designed and constructed for first occupancy after March 13, 1991, are "covered units" and must include certain basic features of accessible and adaptable design to make such units usable by a person who is or who becomes disabled. 42 U.S.C. §§ 3604(f)(3)(C) and (f)(7)(B). All of the ground-floor units at the Oasis properties were designed and constructed for first occupancy after March 13, 1991, and are located in non-elevator buildings containing four or more units. Thus, these ground floor units are "covered multi-family dwellings" within the meaning of the Act and must include the features of accessible and adaptable design.

The features of accessible and adaptable design required by the Act include: (a) public use and common use areas that are readily accessible to and usable by persons with disabilities; (b) doors designed to allow passage into and within all premises that are sufficiently wide to allow passage by persons in wheelchairs; (c) an accessible route into and through the dwelling; (d) light switches, electrical outlets, thermostats, and environmental controls in accessible locations; (e) reinforcements in bathroom walls to allow later installation of grab bars; and (f) usable kitchens and bathrooms such that an individual in a wheelchair can maneuver about the space. 42 U.S.C. § 3604(f)(3)(C). The United States alleges in its Complaint that, as originally designed and constructed, the "covered units" as well as the public and common use areas at the Oasis properties do not include the features of accessible and adaptable design required by the Act.

The parties agree that this Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of this case. The parties further agree that the controversy should be resolved without further proceedings and without an evidentiary hearing. Additionally, Defendant Camden answered the Amended Complaint and denied any violation of the Fair Housing Act. This consent decree is entered without further adjudication as to the merits of the claims of the United States, and does not constitute any admission of liability on the part of the defendants. Therefore, the parties have consented to the entry of this Consent Decree as indicated by the signatures appearing below.

It is hereby ORDERED:

Defendants, their officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns and all other persons in active concert or participation with them are permanently enjoined from discriminating on the basis of disability as prohibited by the Fair Housing Act, 42 U.S.C. § 3604(f)(1) - (3), and as set forth in the Fair Housing Accessibility Guidelines, 56 Fed. Reg. 9472 (1991) (the Guidelines).

The United States alleges in its Amended Complaint that the ground-floor units at the Oasis properties do not meet the standards of the Act and the Guidelines. Because these units are fully constructed, there are significant practical, structural, and cost impediments to bringing these units into compliance with the Act. To address these alleged violations, Defendants have agreed to take the actions set forth below. These actions are reasonable and practicable and will increase the number of housing units on the market available to persons with disabilities.

1. Every twelve (12) months, for a period of five (5) years from the date of entry of this Consent Decree, Defendant Becker Built shall, regarding any covered, multi-family dwellings intended to be developed or built by Defendant Becker Built after the date of the entry of this Consent Decree, as evidenced by the completion of site plans and blueprints for the project, but prior to the application for the initial building permits for the project, submit to counsel for the United States⁽⁴⁾

   the following information: (1) the name and address of the project; (2) a description of the project and the individual units; (3) the name of any site engineer involved with the project; and (4) the name of the architect. Any architect involved with the project shall also submit a statement acknowledging and describing his or her knowledge of and training in the requirements of § 3604(f)(3)(C) of the Act and in the field of accessible design and certifying that he/she has reviewed such plans and that the plans include design specifications that fully comply with the requirements of the Act and Guidelines.

2. For all design contracts for covered multifamily dwellings entered into by Defendant Tibsherany following the entry of this Order, Defendant Tibsherany shall submit to counsel for the United States the following information before the developer applies for the initial building permits: (1) the names and addresses of the builders and developers; (2) the name and address of the project; (3) the type of multi-family dwelling that will be constructed (i.e. condominiums or apartments) and the total number of dwelling units planned; and (4) a written statement that the plans include design specifications that comply with the requirements of the Act and the Guidelines.

Defendants shall pay the total sum of TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($25,000) to those aggrieved persons previously identified by the United States in payment of compensatory damages pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 3614(d)(1)(B). Defendants shall pay said money at a time designated by the United States, no earlier than thirty (30) days after the date of entry of this Decree, by sending individual checks, payable to the order of each previously identified aggrieved person(s) in an amount designated by the United States, to counsel for the United States. The United States shall keep said checks in its possession until each identified aggrieved person(s) has signed a release of claims which is attached hereto as Appendix "A."

1. Defendants agree to perform retrofits to the common and public use areas of the Oasis properties to bring them into substantial compliance with the Act and Guidelines. Defendant Camden has already made retrofits to the common and public use areas of certain Oasis properties at a cost of ONE HUNDRED EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS ($108,000). In addition to those retrofits, within five (5) years of the date of the entry of this Consent Decree, Defendant Camden shall retrofit the public and common use areas of the Oasis properties pursuant to the details attached as Appendix "B."⁽⁵⁾ The anticipated total cost of the remaining retrofits to the common and public use areas at the Oasis properties is ONE MILLION FOUR HUNDRED NINETY FIVE THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED NINETY SIX DOLLARS ($1,495,896).⁽⁶⁾ Such retrofits will include, but not be limited to, installing curb cuts, retrofitting slopes, re-striping parking lots to include the required number of accessible parking spaces, installing handrails, and retrofitting clubhouse and pool areas.

   Defendant Camden agrees to retrofit the slopes at the Oasis properties by performing the following: (1) adding handrails to slopes of 6% - 10% in grade that are 72 inches or more in length; (2) fully retrofitting slopes over 10% in grade; (3) fully retrofitting cross-slopes over 3% in grade.

   Defendant Camden will also implement the parking policy attached as Appendix "C" to ensure that vehicles do not protrude into the accessible walkways at the Oasis properties.

There are significant, practical, structural, and cost impediments to modifying the interiors of the units at the Oasis properties to bring them into full compliance with the Act and Guidelines. To address the claims of the United States, Defendant Camden has agreed to take the actions set forth in subparagraphs (A)-(C) below.

1. For each of the two-bedroom ground-floor units that has the floor plan in which there is one door leading into the second bathroom, Defendant Camden shall reverse the swing of the hallway door that leads into the bathroom to ensure sufficient clear floor space in the second bathroom. This retrofit shall be completed no later than five days after the date on which each tenant currently occupying the unit vacates such unit. The parties anticipate that the total cost of the retrofits which will be performed pursuant to this provision will be FIFTY FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS ($54,000).

2. At Oasis Del Mar, Oasis Rose, Oasis Canyon, Oasis Vintage, Oasis Vinings II, Oasis Pines, Oasis Gateway, Oasis Crossings, Oasis Harbor I, Oasis Meadows, Oasis Pointe, Oasis Tiara, Oasis Bel Air II, and Oasis Sands, Defendant Camden shall make the following retrofits to the model units: (1) remove the door leading to the water closet in the master bathroom; (2) remove the wing wall that separates the water closet from the remainder of the master bathroom. The parties anticipate that the total cost of retrofitting the model units at the Oasis properties will be EIGHT THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($8900).

3. Defendant Camden will distribute a notice of retrofits identical to the notice contained in Appendix "D" to all prospective tenants who visit Oasis Del Mar, Oasis Rose, Oasis Canyon, Vintage, Oasis Vinings II, Oasis Pines, Oasis Gateway, Oasis Crossings, Oasis Harbor I, Oasis Meadows, Oasis Pointe, Oasis Tiara, Oasis Bel Air II, Oasis Sands, or Oasis Summit. The retrofits listed in the notice shall be available to any current or prospective tenant. If a tenant or prospective tenant requests any of the retrofits, Defendant Camden shall implement the retrofits within 3 days of the request. Any tenant who is residing in an Oasis property at the time he or she makes a request shall be given alternative living accommodations at Defendant Camden's expense during the time that the retrofits are being performed, if necessary to avoid inconvenience to the tenant. Defendant Camden may not charge any additional rent, deposit or other fee for the units in which retrofits are implemented. The rent for these units shall remain the same as for equivalent units that have not been retrofitted.

There are significant, practical, structural, and cost impediments to modifying the interiors of the units at Oasis Hills, Oasis Glen, and Oasis Place to bring them into full compliance with the Act and Guidelines. To address the claims of the United States, Defendant Camden has agreed to take the actions set forth below.

Defendant Camden shall distribute to all current and prospective tenants of Oasis Hills, Oasis Glen, and Oasis Place, a notice of retrofits identical to the notice contained in the appropriate Appendix "E-1, E-2, or E-3." The retrofits listed in the notice shall be available to any current or prospective tenant. If a tenant or prospective tenant requests any of the retrofits, Defendant Camden shall implement the retrofits within 3 days of the request. Any tenant who is residing in a unit at Oasis Hills, Oasis Glen, or Oasis Place at the time he or she makes a request shall be given alternative living accommodations at Defendant Camden's expense during the time that the retrofits are being performed, if necessary to avoid inconvenience to the tenant. Defendant Camden may not charge any additional rent, deposit or other fee for the units in which retrofits are implemented. The rent for these units shall remain the same as for equivalent units that have not been retrofitted.

8. FAIR HOUSING FUND

   Because there are significant, practical, structural, and cost impediments to modifying the interiors of all of the units at the Oasis properties, Defendants will establish a Fair Housing Fund pursuant to subparagraphs (A) and (B) of this Section, to be used to increase the stock of housing available for persons with disabilities who live in the Las Vegas Metropolitan area.

   1. Within thirty (30) days of the entry of this Consent Decree, Defendants⁽⁷⁾ shall cause to be deposited in an interest-bearing escrow account, the sum of TWO HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($225,000)(the Fund), which shall be administered by an entity agreed upon by all parties for a period of two years from the date of the entry of this Consent Decree. In addition to paying the $225,000 to establish the Fund, the Defendants shall pay TWENTY TWO THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($22,500) to the entity selected by the United States to administer the Fund to pay the costs of administering the Fund. The money placed into the Fund, along with all interest accumulated, shall be used by any individual who owns or rents a dwelling unit within Clark County or Nye County, Nevada, to make retrofits to his or her dwelling unit to provide greater accessibility to individuals with disabilities.

   2. At the conclusion of two years and six months from the date of entry of this Consent Decree, any money remaining in the Fund shall be distributed to an entity in the Las Vegas Metropolitan Area selected by the United States that assists persons with disabilities in finding housing or assists in retrofitting existing housing to make such housing more accessible to persons with disabilities.

1. Within five (5) years from the entry of this Decree, Defendant Tibsherany shall donate 100 hours of technical assistance to non-profit groups that promote fair housing, disability rights or affordable housing, approved by the United States, such as those groups listed as examples in Appendix "F." The technical assistance may include providing training on the design requirements of the Act and the Guidelines and/or providing design contract services. The services shall be provided at no cost to the recipients. Defendant Tibsherany shall certify that he has met the 100-hour requirement by submitting to the United States statements signed by the recipients of the technical assistance confirming his donation. The signed statements must be submitted to the United States no later than 30 days after each donation of assistance.

Within thirty (30) days of the date of entry of this Consent Decree, Defendants shall provide to all their supervisory employees, sales or rental agents, and site managers involved in the design, construction, sale or rental of multi-family dwellings covered by the Act in the Las Vegas metropolitan area: (1) a copy of this Consent Decree; and (2) instruction on (i) the terms of this Consent Decree, (ii) the requirements of the Act with a particular emphasis on the Act's design and construction requirements, and (iii) their responsibilities and obligations under each. The instruction on the Act's design and construction requirements shall be conducted by a qualified person or organization approved by the United States.⁽⁸⁾ Any expenses associated with this training shall be borne by Defendants. Each new supervisory employee, sales or rental agent, or site manager retained by Defendants during the term of this Decree must comply with the above requirements within thirty (30) days after the date he or she commences an employment, agency, or contractual relationship with Defendants.

Defendant Camden certifies that it has posted and prominently displays in the rental offices of all Oasis properties, a sign no smaller than ten (10) by fourteen (14) inches indicating that all dwellings are available for rent on a nondiscriminatory basis. A poster that comports with 24 C.F.R. Part 110 will satisfy this requirement.

In addition, for the duration of this Consent Decree, in all future advertising in newspapers, and on pamphlets, brochures and other promotional literature regarding the Oasis properties, Defendant Camden shall place, in a conspicuous location, a statement that the dwelling units include features for persons with disabilities required by the federal Fair Housing Act. If human models are used in any promotional literature, Defendant Camden shall consider using models with visible disabilities in such promotional literature.

1. Sixty (60) days after the date of entry of this Consent Decree, Defendants shall submit to counsel for the United States an initial report regarding the signed statements of current supervisory employees, rental or sales agents, and site managers who have completed the educational program (see Section X above).

2. Annually after the entry of this Consent Decree, Defendants, as applicable, shall submit to counsel for the United States a report containing the following:
   1. documents containing information and certifications for new construction (see Section III above); and

   2. signed statements of new supervisory employees, sales agents, and site managers who have completed the educational program during the most recent reporting period (see Section X above).

3. Annually after the entry of this Consent Decree, Defendant Camden shall submit to counsel for the United States a report containing the following:
   1. The name, address, and telephone number of any tenant or prospective tenant who requested retrofits pursuant to Section VI or Section VII above, the date on which the retrofits were requested, and the date on which the retrofits were completed; and

   2. A report detailing the cost of implementing any retrofits performed to the common use or public use areas or any interior unit at any Oasis property during the previous year.

5. Defendants shall advise counsel for the United States in writing within fifteen (15) days of receipt of any written administrative or legal complaint against any Oasis property, or against any employees or agents of Defendants working at or for any Oasis property, regarding equal opportunity in housing. Defendants shall also promptly provide the United States all information it may request concerning any such complaint.

6. For the term of this Consent Decree, Defendants are required to preserve all records related to this Consent Decree, for all properties designed, constructed, owned, operated, or acquired by them. Upon reasonable notice to Defendants, representatives of the United States shall be permitted to inspect and copy any records of Defendants or inspect any developments or residential units under Defendants' control covered by the Act bearing on compliance with this Consent Decree at any and all reasonable times; provided, however, that the United States shall endeavor to minimize any inconvenience to Defendants from such inspections.

Upon reasonable notice to Defendant Camden, representatives of the United States shall be permitted to inspect the retrofits performed by Defendant Camden to ensure compliance with this Consent Decree at any and all reasonable times; provided, however, that the United States shall endeavor to minimize any inconvenience caused by such inspections.

1. This Consent Decree shall remain in effect for five (5) years and six (6) months after the date of its entry.

   The United States' Complaint shall be dismissed as to defendants Camden Property Trust, Camden Subsidiary II, Inc., George F. Tibsherany, and Becker Built without prejudice to the right of the United States to petition the Court, at any time during the duration of this Decree, to reopen the case for the purposes of enforcing the Decree. That parties to this Consent Decree shall endeavor in good faith to resolve informally any differences regarding interpretation of and compliance with this Decree prior to bringing such matters to the Court for resolution.

Any time limits for performance imposed by this Consent Decree may be extended by the mutual written agreement of the parties.

Each party to this litigation will bear its own costs and attorney's fees associated with this litigation.

So ORDERED this _[30]__ day of January, 2001.

In order to provide the required access to all ground floor units, the walkways which lead from the parking areas to the individual units must be kept clear of all obstructions. If a walkway is constructed adjacent to the parking area, parked cars will not be permitted to encroach onto the walkway (i.e., using the curb as a wheelstop where the front or rear bumpers intrude into the walkway).

Any violation of this policy by residents should be handled as a violation of the community's parking rules. In order to comply with this policy, a community should:

1. Provide written notice of the policy to all residents.

2. Periodically inspect the accessible walkways to ensure compliance.

3. Notify any residents that are not complying with the policy with a warning and consequences of non-compliance.

4. Repeat offenders will be towed to a compliant parking space at their expense.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

1. Camden Property Trust succeeded to the ownership and control of only seven of the nine properties alleged in the United States' Complaint. Oasis Reef and Rock Creek Manor are not owned or operated by Camden Property Trust.

2. Defendants Camden Property Trust and Camden Subsidiary II, Inc. will be hereinafter referred to as Defendant Camden.

3. These 11 Oasis properties and the seven Oasis properties named in Plaintiff United States' Complaint to which Camden succeeded to the ownership and control will be collectively referred to hereinafter as the Oasis properties.

4. For purposes of this Decree, counsel for the United States is Chief, Housing and Civil Enforcement Section, Civil Rights Division, United States Department of Justice, P. O. Box 65998, Washington, D.C. 20035-5998, Attn: DJ# 175-46-62.

5. There are a limited number of ground-floor units listed in Appendix "B" that have steps leading to the entry door of such units. Because of significant practical, structural, and cost impediments to removing those steps and because the number of units with stairs leading to the entry door are few in comparison to the total number of ground-floor units that will be accessible after completion of the common use retrofits, Camden will not retrofit the steps leading to those units.

6. Because Camden has not completed the retrofits required under this Section of the Consent Decree or the retrofits required by Sections VI(A) and VI(B), the parties are unable to determine exact amount such retrofits will cost. The amounts contained in this Consent Decree are good faith estimates of the costs of retrofitting the Oasis properties. The parties acknowledge that the amounts contained in this Section of the Consent Decree, as well as in Sections VI(A) and VI(B), do not represent either a minimum or maximum amount Defendant Camden shall pay to perform the retrofits and that the actual costs of retrofitting may exceed or be less than these good faith estimates.

7. The amount deposited in the Fund shall consist of $35,000 from Defendant Camden, $175,000 from Defendant Tibersherany, and $15,000 from Defendant Becker Built.

8. The Fair Housing Training Program currently used by Defendant Camden to train its employees on the design and construction requirements of the Act meets the requirement of this subsection.

9. 42 U.S.C. § 3601 et seq.

10. 42 U.S.C. § 3601 et seq.

11. 42 U.S.C. § 3601 et seq.
