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  have it Madam clerk petitions for public improvements good
