The possibility of temporarily renting the 41" Avenue property was
discussed. Sally Payne will look into several issues related to the possible
rental of the property.
2. Status of potential new project
Sally Payne reported that the school district likes the idea of the Housing
Authority's proposed project for the Fruitdale School building on 44a'
Avenue. However, the district is still in the process of working on several
issues and a formal response is expected next month.
G. NEW BUSINESS
Administrative and rehab work for the Housing Authority.
Cheryl Brungardt reported that it has become clear that it will be necessary
to have both a construction manager and an administrative manager for
future projects. Cheryl and Sally Payne met with both types of work.
WR2020 indicated it may be possible for them to do part of the
administrative duties. Sally Payne stated that she could do a portion of the
grant writing.
Sally Payne commented that Linda Trimble, who does the RFP's for the
city, indicated that this is a very busy time of the year and an RFP would
take approximately 90 days. Ms. Trimble also indicated that the Authority
would not technically have to go through an RFP process. There was
discussion regarding the RFP process. Sally Payne will contact Henry
Wehrdt to see if he has ever used modified RFP's. She will also speak
with Linda Trimble about the time and cost issues associated with the RFP
process. Ms. Payne stated that there is time to put information in the
Transcript in time for responses from interested contractors to be
discussed at the November meeting. She will look into doing more of a
letter of interest rather than a full RFP.
2. HOME and CDBG 2009 funding cycle
October 15th is the deadline to apply for 2009 funds. The Housing
Authority was awarded $75,000 in HOME funds in 2008 for Fruitdale
School. In addition, $37,500 is unused from 2007 HOME funds that will
be used on Fruitdale School if that project moves forward. If it does not,
the Housing Authority will need to identify another project for the funds
or return fund to the County. It is necessary, when application is made,
that a specific project be identified for use of the funds. Since the
Authority has no definite projects in mind at this time, there was a
consensus that application not be made this year.
