A. REQUEST FOR RATIFICATION OF AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE
MANAGEMENT FEE PURSUANT TO THE AGREEMENT FOR PROPERTY
MANAGEMENT SERVICES FOR HOUSING AUTHORITY PROPERTIES
AND RELATED ACTIONS.
Member Ferguson questioned why Council was considering a ratification as
opposed to approval.
Mr. Ortega replied that the decision was left to the Housing Commission, and
approval by Council would make their decision effective. Upon further
question, Mr. Ortega replied the Agency had not started paying on the
increase.
Housing Authority Administrator Janet Moore replied the increase would be
effective July 1. She explained the item was considered a ratification,
because in the approval of their contract, a$1/per door increase is allowed
subject to review of their performance by the Housing Commission. She said
the Commission did that by sending a survey to every resident. The
Commission reviewed the results along with staff, and they agreed to the
increase that's allowed by the contract.
