Discussion with HUD came up with four alternatives: (1) keep facility and
outsource property management; (2) create a cooperative agreement with
another housing authority to take over the building; (3) cancel the contract with
,, . 4.
Mound HRA Minutes -November 25, 2008
HUD and another housing authority takes ownership and oversight of the
building; or (4) cancel the contract with HUD and sell the building outright.
Common Bond and Westport Properties have responded to the RFP. Pausche
will review these proposals and come back to the HRA with a recommendation.
Hanus stated he would want to know how our status would be affected regarding
affordable housing, and where the financials lie, to include major repairs.
Consideration would have to be given to maintaining the standards of the
building, and he also asked what can be done with the proceeds if the building is
sold. Pausche stated she will research these items for future consideration and
discussion.
