Michael K. Brown, Emergency Manager RESOLUTION STAFF REVIEW FORM DATE: March 9 ,2012 Agenda Item Title: Resolution to enter into a fourth change order to extend term of the contract (11-040) with Operation Unification in the amount of $77,488.45 until June 30, 2012 for the purpose of making emergency repairs to fourteen (14) homeowner units using 2010-11 Community Development Block Grant Funds Prep ared By Author: Rita L Goodman-CaIdwell, Program Specialist Requestor: Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) Background/Summary of Proposed Action: This resolution is to extend the term of contract to Operation Unification for the purpose of making repairs to fourteen (14) homeowner units in the City Wide Emergency Repair Program. A time extension is necessary to allow for completion of work in City Wide Emergency Repair Program through June 30, 2012. Financial Implications: The source of these funds are Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds allocated in the 2010-11 Annual Action Plan for City Wide Emergency Repair Program. Budgeted Expenditure: Tue May 08, 2012 8:49 am  untanglingwebs El Supremo Granted Eason initiated this grant, but a FOURTH EXTENSION to do emergency repairs on 14 homes. On Tuesday, March 13, 2012 the Flint Journal lead headline was Unpaid taxes? No buying property at auction . Snyder emphasized he did not want individuals owing taxes to be able to buy homes at auction. The land bank officials applauded this effort. The Michigan Home Rule Act , under which Flint was created, has a provision that forbids Flint from entering into a contract or making an appointment to one who owes taxes to the city. The Land Bank has a rule forbidding selling property to those who owe taxes in theri policy and procedures manual. Yet both the City of Flint and the Land bank have entered into contracts with Operation Unification and Charles Young Jr. when both the non-profit and the principal agents of the non profit owe significant taxes in both Flint and Mt Morris Township. Really,A fourth extension to do emergency repairs to 14 homes. How long has the emergency existed and has he cost of the emergency repair increased due to neglect of the problem? To my way of thinking, Brown is a s neglectful as Walling and Eason were. Otherwise he would not have given Salem Housing a contract using federal money when they have had numerous HUD findings that were significant and they owe taxes. They already have houses they have been unable to sell in several years so we enter into a purchase, rehab and sale program with them. Isn't that the subject of the last finding on them? Of course, Brown has Tracy Atkinson running the department.So what do you expect?
