C- ~ DEPARTMENT: EDA DIRECTOR APPROVAL ITEM: Crest View Management Agreement BY: Kenneth Anderson~ - BY: Renewal for Parkview Villa. DATE: May 12, 2000 BACKGROUND: On or about June 1997 the EDA entered into a Management and Maintenance Agreement with Crest View Corporation. Said Agreement was approved by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The Agreement was amended in May of 1998 to allow for the extension of the term of the Agreement to include the initial time fi.me of two years with three, one year options. This would extend the maximum term of the Agreement to a total of five years. Attached is a copy of the eun'ent Management and Maintenance Services Agreement and the amendment approved in June of 1999. We have also attached the proposed new Agreement with Crest View Corporation to extend the term to June of 2001. ANALYSIS: The Board may authorize the second of the three, one year options at this meeting. This will afford Crest View Corporation an opportunity to continue the Maintenance and Management Services Agreement for one additional year through June of 2001. A contract with Crest View Corporation has been in effect since 1993. Proposals were received fi.om a number of other finns in the Spring of 1997. Crest View Corporation was selected to continue to provide these services as the Board determined they were the most qualified and cost effective proposal. EDA Staff continue to have scheduled weekly meetings with Parkview Villa Management Staff to follow up on necessary day to day activities to improve communication and insure effective management of the facility. The Board has the option to once again solicit proposals from other management companies for these services if so desired. The Board discussed the option of soliciting proposals at the last meeting of the EDA. Commissioner Pat Jindra and Marlaine Szurek agreed to meet with interested residents to discuss services provided by Crest View Corporation. It was suggested that periodic meetings, perhaps three a year, be set up with residents, EDA Commissioner(s), staff, and the Police Chief to address areas of concern. This can be handled administratively and has not been included in the proposed contract. The contract fees have increased a total of $21,196.00 for a total amount of $144,956.00 for the one year (second) extension of the Agreement effective June 1, 2000, to account for increased staffpay and benefits. There is no proposed increase in the management fee. It may be appropriate to increase this amount to account for necessary overtime work. Any discussion of specific salary amounts for specific individuals must be performed in a closed, executive session. MOTION: Move to approve the one year extension of the Management and Maintenance Services Agreement to June of 2001 with Crest View Corporation, based on their proposal dated May 11, 2000; and furthermore, to authorize the President and Executive Director to enter into an Agreement for the same.

The Columbia Heights EDA was issued an allocation of 25 Vouchers and 25 Certificates. Of those, we have issued 35 Vouchers and 10 Certificates for a total of 45 which is the same number as last month. This maintains our utilization at 90 percent. By October of 2000, all Certificates will be phased out and new Housing Choice Vouchers issued at the time re-certifications are completed. Budget reports, utilization reports and year end statements are being prepared for submission to HUD. ANALYSIS: The number of port-outs for April, 2000 is at three (3). This is the same number as last month. Of the three (3), two (2).are Vouchers and one (1) is a Certificate. Although they do not reside in Columbia Heights we continue to count them in our utilization report unless they are absorbed by the new jurisdiction. Otherwise, the jurisdiction will bill us for the Housing Assistance Payment and 80 percent of our administrative fee. The number of portability units has increased by two from last month. We currently administer a total of 72 portability Vouchers and Certificates. This number has consistently moved downward over the last two years. This breaks down into 42 Vouchers and 30 Certificates. These are participants that were originally issued their assistance in another jurisdiction but have elected to move into Columbia Heights. For the portability vouchers and certificates, we bill the originating jurisdiction for the Housing Assistance Payment and 80 percent of their administrative fee. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to receive the Section 8 report as written.
