<br />Member of the Common Council
<br />A public hearing was held at this time on the resolution. Mr. Keith Crighton, Director of the
<br />Bureau of Housing, indicated that, in accordance with the provisions of Ordinance No. 5689 -74, all
<br />(contracts in the Neighborhood Development Program in excess of $5,000 must be approved by the
<br />Common Council. He stated that the E -7 Advisory Committee and the Redevelopment Commission have
<br />approved the awarding of the contracts to the low bidders as listed in the resolution. He stated
<br />that the resolution should be amended as follows:
<br />In paragraph 1, the description of 136 Wenger's 5th should be amended to read
<br />11161 Replat of Wenger's 6th ".
<br />In paragraph 1, the address of 515 E. Pennsylvania should be amended to read
<br />11516 E. Pennsylvania ".
<br />In paragraph 1, the amount of $5,371.00 should be amended to read "$5,371.94"
<br />Councilman Newburn made a motion to so amend the resolution, seconded by Councilman Kopczynski.
<br />The motion carried.
<br />Councilman Kopczynski wondered about the most expensive item for replacement on the homes, and Mr.
<br />Crighton indicated that the electrical and heating work was the most costly. Councilman
<br />Kopczynski wondered about the average amount per home, and Mr. Crighton indicated that an increase
<br />to 100 amps. from 60 amps. would cost approximately $800. He could not give an estimate on the
<br />heating cost per home because there were many factors to consider, such as size of the home, etc.
<br />Councilman Kopczynski wondered if the work was being done to merely upgrade the work or replace
<br />what was defective. Mr. Crighton indicated that the bureau was replacing defective items accordin
<br />to the code. Councilman Kopczynski indicated that some of the homes had six rooms and two stories
<br />yet only the first floor of the house was being used. He wondered about this, and Mr. Crighton
<br />indicated that the city could not determine the usage of the homes. Councilman Kopczynski stated
<br />that, in the past, the owners of the homes constructed their homes and the standards were met. He
<br />could not understand why, at this time, the wiring, etc. was determined to be substandard or
<br />defective. Councilman Szymkowiak wondered what else was an important factor in improving the home
<br />He mentioned the replacement of roofs and plumbing, and Mr. Crighton indicated that the most
<br />important items would be related to safety and health. Councilman Szymkowiak felt $5,000 was not
<br />enough money to adequately take care of the upgrading of the homes. Councilman. Miller wondered ho
<br />afar the rehabilitation had gone as of this date, and Mr. Crighton answered by stating that 8 homes
<br />were awarded for contract and, on February 7th, 3 additional contracts under $5,000 were approved.
<br />Councilman Miller indicated that that would make the total 24 ifthe proposed resolution was
<br />adopted. He wondered about the total amount allocated at the present time. Mr. Crighton stated
<br />that that amount was $160,000. He indicated that bids on another 14 houses would be let soon.
<br />Councilman Miller made a motion to adopt the resolution as amended, seconded by Councilman Serge.
<br />Councilman Kopczynski indicated that he wanted to inspect the homes before and after the work was
<br />accomplished, and he felt photographs should be taken before and after the major work was done.
<br />Mr. Crighton indicated that photographs do not always,show the majority of the problems. Councilm n
<br />Kopczynski again indicated that he desired to make an inspection of the homes. Councilman
<br />Szymkowiak stated that he, too, would like to join in the inspection. Mr. Crighton indicated that
