Taken from the October 19, City Managers Report 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. |
