4. 1 the do Han bli the As Mr. the acc Par Sin det qua men con COMMUNICATIONS a. HUD letter dated May 15, 1973: This letter, over signature of Mr. H. L. Bainaka, Acting Director, Opera - is Division, relates to the new HUD guidelines on HUD (book 1320.1, Real Property Acquisition, which esta- :hes uniform policies and requirements applicable to acquisition of real property under all HUD Community !lopment Programs. :here are many changes in policies and requirements, Bainaka suggests we study and analyze the contents of HUD Handbook and conform future acquisition activities irdingly. Reference was made to Chapter 3, Section 1, graph 29, (Page 20), in part: "Negotiations for the purchase of real property shall be performed by qualified members of the Agency's staff or by experienced real estate brokers. However, negotiations shall not be conducted by any person, in- cluding the appraisers, the Agency's reviewing appraiser, and relocation personnel, who participated in the deter- mination of the fair market value of the property or the owner's eligibility for, or the amount of, reloca- tion payments. This separation of functions does not prevent a negotiator from furnishing an owner informa- tion pertaining to relocation advisory assistance, ser- vices, and payments available to him..." :e the review appraiser has the major responsibility in !rmination of just compensation, he should be a highly ified real estate appraiser who can fulfill the require - .s of Chapter 2, Paragraph 21, (Page 11), and that we may ider the contracting of an independent fee appraiser. Thi3 new procedure eliminates all concurrence by HUD in any acq isition activities, except those in acquisition of pro- perty to be acquired from the United States Government. HUD reviews and controls will be confined to periodic performance exa inations. Mr. Lennon advised the Commission we have access to highly - qua ified review appraisers and have been doing this. b.
