Luedeman, Executive Director' Subj: Relocation Claims for Displacement by Federal Action Marion County Housing Authority does hereby request that Marion County further consider the relocation claims as submitted by The Housing Authority for the . following reasons: 1. Marion County Housing Authority (MCHA) is not a department of Marion County but a Municipal Corporation pursuant to ORS 456.085. As such, MCHA is entitled to all federal relocation expenses associated with the move from the Senator Hotel to the present location on Lancaster Blvd. 2. As an independent non profit organization, MCHA is claiming payment for actual reasonable moving and related expenses (49 CFR 24.303). 3. Eligible Costs include those outlined in the Department of Housing & Urban Development Handbook 1378 Tenant Assistance, Relocation and Real Property Acquisition. Please see Attachment A with excerpts from the appropriate sections. Section 4-2 Refers to Payment for Actual Reasonable Moving and Related Expenses while, Section 4-3 Refers to Payment for Reestablishment Expenses (49 CFR 24.304). 4. Each expenditure is identified with the respective section number. See Attachment B with Relocation Expenditures. 5. The only expense MCHA is claiming under the $10,000 additional "reimbursable" (Section 4-3) expenses is rent increase which is less than the m~imum. Finally, MCHA is not required to contribute to any of the moving costs associated with Courthouse Square Project as they are not a department of Marion County but an independent agency that has been displaced by federal action. As such, MCHA is entitled to $8,650.96. Please review the attached information and reference the CFR as to any departures from MCHA's understanding of it. Thank you for organizing the meeting yesterday. We appreciate your assistance.
