6. Action on resolution authorizing feasibility study
Pausche stated that the HRA Board has been studying the ownership and management of the
Indian Knoll Manor (IKM) Public Housing since 2009. The HRA currently has a contract for
Property Management Services with Common Bond Communities (CBC), a leading provider of
affordable housing. CBC recommends contracting with a Signet Partners, a consultant, to
perform a feasibility study to determine if IKM would be a candidate for HUD's Rental
Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program with the cost of the study to be split evenly between
CBC and the HRA. If IKM qualifies for RAD, this would be a vehicle where the ownership could
be transferred to CBC.
