Section 8 Housing Inspections

We
have the contract with the Inspection Group to conduct the Section 8
Inspections on Tuesday’s agenda. As you may recall, two of the items
that we wanted to make more robust with the new CONSOC contract were
Housing Quality Inspections (HQS) and the Criminal background checks.
We lowered the amount of the contract with CONSOC so that we could
contract out separately for the HQS. Doug Adkins has been working on
the contract with the Inspection Group. Our targeted start date is
November 1. Unfortunately, the contract negotiations took longer than
anticipated and we will not be able to begin the work on November 1
unless this is passed by emergency. While we would like to get started
as soon as possible with the new vendor, if council would like to have
2 readings on this ordinance, we can work with the vendor on a monthly
basis, or continue in the current arrangement with CONSOC to fill in
the gaps until the contract is passed.

	Am I missing something ? I still don't know why Consoc isn't doing inspections and background checks. Is it the price ? Does Consoc want more money to do what they should be doing in the first place ? Gilleland says "We lowered the amount of the contract with CONSOC so that we could contract out separately for the HQS." Whats the price difference between Consoc and the other company ? What am I missing ??

	Hermes I am pretty sure it was done this way because the city wanted more control over the Section 8 process.
