okay I just uh a couple of questions um I don't know do we have S oh Logan's here all right um
could you just uh touch base real quick on why the the contract was terminated and go ahead sure
the VOR do you want to go to the micophone could you yeah if you could go to the mic so that those
watching online so item number 11 to the consent agenda uh vice mayor hoo can you tell us what that
is yes for those watching this was a relocation contract I believe through our um our program
where we are selling the houses the homes families that are part of this um who live in the homes
currently we are paying to essentially rehome them somewhere else so I I was just curious why I guess
they they the company that we had been contracting with decided they didn't want to do this any
further and terminated the contract so I was just curious why and we only had one applicant um
put in to continue this so um was land acquisition Inc were they part of the original bid as
well and they were the ones that we didn't go with the first time around well good morning
staff thank you for being here yeah no problem Logan Bradshaw with the Housing and Community
Services Department um the former vendor elected to terminate her contract under the original
terms of the agreement um as you can see from the agenda report this process started all the
way back in 2017 uh we thought we were initially going to convert the entire witch to Housing
Authority portfolio under the rad conversion unfortunately that did not um actually work out
for the single family portfolio so we had to divert and do a different plan I think there were
a lot of reasons why the previous vendor decided to cancel her contract I know there were a lot of
things going on in her personal life at the time as well um but I think primarily due to the fact
that her contract had been extended multiple times over and over and over again and it just became
very challenging there towards the end so that's really the reason why she decided to terminate her
contract um to answer your second question no land acquisition Inc did not bid the initial time and
they were the only applicant this time okay thank you further discussion if there's no further discussion
I'll make a motion to accept staff's recommended action to approve the relocation
coordinator contract with land acquisition Inc and authoriz signatures is there a second
second motion has been seconded by vice mayor hoisel all in favor of sub motion please
respond by saying I I I I'll oppose same sign the eyes have it the eyes do indeed
