Memorandum
Attached for your review and approval is a resolution to approve a Housing Rehabilitation Agreement with Cynthia Scott to complete rehabilitation assistance to her home at 1108 Miner Street. This low income two-person household applied for emergency assistance in September 6, 2007 and is eligible for a deferred loan.

On November 1, 2007, the Office of Community Development received seven (7) bids to complete this rehabilitation work. The lowest bid amount was submitted by Hartman Construction with a base bid of $27,480, to which a 10% contingency of $2,748 was added, bringing the total amount to $30,228. The $30,228 in CDBG Funds will be provided in the form of a 0% interest, deferred payment loan to be repaid in full after 30 years or at the time the property changes ownership either by sale, gift, mortgage, land contract, conversion to rental property, inheritance or change of the use of the property from a single-family residence.
