Upon a motion made by Mr. Leszczynski, seconded by Mr. Hill and carried, the following contracts were approved: REAL Services - Funds to be used by REAL Services to purchase housing repair materials and to pay contractor costs for emergency housing repairs for eligible older adults. Budget: $2,500 Neighborhood Code Enforcement - Funding for the neighborhood clean-up crew. Budget: $67,200 Bureau of Housing - Funds for housing assistance programs. Budget: $381,300 Department of Redevelopment: Administrative and management - support funds needed for continued development and revitalization of central business district. Budget: $358,200 Mrs. Colleen Rosenfeld, Community Development Director, also requested Board approval of the following addendums to contracts already approved by the Board. She explained that Addendum I was being submitted to a previously approved contract with ACTION, Inc., because ACTION had received many more requests than anticipated for emergency housing repairs. She stated that, since REAL Services had not used all of the funds allocated for its particular program on emergency housing repairs, the amount of $2,500 would be transferred to the ACTION program. Addendum I to the existing REAL Services contract was, therefore, also being submitted for approval, thereby decreasing the contract amount by $2,500.
