<br />Member of the Common Council
<br />A public hearing was held at this time on the resolution. Keith Crighton, director of the
<br />Bureau of Housing gave the following reason for the resolution,, He said that all contracts
<br />under the Community_ Development Housing Program inIexcess of $51000 must be approved.by _the
<br />Common Council. He said the low bids.-.-for the eight properties to be rehabilitated have exceeded
<br />$5,000. He asked that approval be granted to the Redevelopment Commission to enter contracts
<br />with Madison Builders, Inc., Ted Combs Decorating & Construction Company, and Slatile Roofing
<br />& Sheet Metal Inc., for the rehabilitation of these eight properties.
<br />Mrs. Jane Swan, 2022 Swygart, asked if there was a breakdown on just what this work will cover.
<br />She said that maybe the bids were all right, but it bothered her to see $6,300 being put into
<br />a home for just renovations. Council President Parent asked if a breakdown was available, and
<br />i Mr. Crighton said he would send a copy to Mrs. Swan.
<br />Councilman Kopczynski asked if Mr. Crighton could tell him the market value of the property. He
<br />said in the future when they have to approve these bids he thought the Council should know the
<br />market value of the property before the rehab work is done. He said he would like this informa-
<br />tion on a going -ahead basis. He also asked how many contractors were presently active in bidding.
<br />Mr. Crighton said there were presently nine. Mr. Kopczynski said he thought it would be of intere
<br />to know the breakdown of bids let out to each contract. Mr. Crighton said he was preparing full
<br />reports for Redevelopment and would send a copy to the Council.
<br />Councilman Szymkowiak said he thought it would; be a good idea to take before and after pictures.
<br />Mr. Crighton said in many instances such a picture would not show much because most of it is in-
<br />side work.
<br />Councilman Horvath said it bothered him that they were putting that much money in inside work.
<br />He said he was sure some of these homes are not worth $6,000. Council President Parent said that
<br />many on the Council really felt that cosmetic work is important and it reflects on the entire
<br />area.
<br />Councilman Miller made a motion to adopt the resolution,
<br />resolution was adopted by a roll call vote of eight ayes
<br />Kopczynski, Adams, Dombrowski, Horvath and Parent).
