'~ `~"~ The cost of the dumpsters was $1,398.50. It is reasonable to apply those costs against the Housing Authority's claim of $2,250 to relocate tenants. I forwarded payment of $851.50 which was returned by Denn.is Kilfoil in May of this year. Considering there were numerous considerations and final outcome was managed by General Services, we believe the $851.50 settlement is fair and equitable because both partners share in the resolution and cost of vacating the hotel apartments. The warrant for $851.50 is enclosed. The second is a relocation claim for moving the Housing Authority business offices. A relocation claim as defined by the Relocation Act of 1970 provides for the tenant to claim actual moving expenses. The Courthouse Square Project paid the movers direct for moving expenses of $3,228.48. (Your staff was highly complimented by the movers because they were efficient packers and well orga.nized.) In addition, "reimbursable" expenses such as remodeling, furnishings, printing and 24 months rent increases are allowed up to a maximum of $10,000. Here is summary of these expenses. Prorated remodeling of 4963 square feet @ $6.3939/sq ft paid direct by MC Courthouse Square Project $31,732.93 Anticipated Rent increase to be paid by MCHA $ 3,816.96 Furniture, panels and printing paid by MCHA $ 4,834.00 Total claim $40,383.89 Since the maximum allowable claim is $10,000, it is appropriate that the claim payment reimburse the Courthouse Square Project rather than the Housing Authority. Both the project and your agency have made significant contributions to your office move. A summary of the agency contributions is: Courthouse Square Project movers and claim $13,228.48 Marion County contributed $21,732.93 MC Housing Authority contributed $ 8,650.96 Total moving costs $52,263.33 As with many projects, these conclusions are not desirable but become a resolution to move to the next challenge. If you have need to discuss the claims, I will coordinate a meeting between Ra.ndy Curtis, you and me. haclaim2
