Wanush outlined pro's and con's of relieving City <br /> staff of administrative responsibility for the two <br /> housing projects. Wanush estimated a dollar <br /> savings of approximately $25,000 in administrative <br /> staff time. <br /> Tony Delpizzo, 1337 Jefferson Ave. , spoke in <br /> opposition to the proposal to have the Louisville <br /> Senior Housing turned over to the Boulder County <br /> Housing Authority. Delpizzo advised the Council <br /> that once it is turned over to the County, <br /> Louisville would loose total control of its <br /> occupants and asked that Council allow the <br /> citizens of Louisville to vote on the issue. <br /> Steve Anderson, Past Chairman of LURHA, felt that <br /> the management agreement with Boulder County <br /> Housing Authority was extremely appropriate. <br /> However , Anderson feels that to give title to the <br /> county housing authority would be a mistake. <br /> There are too many unknowns in years to come and <br /> the work that LURHA put into obtaining fine <br /> housing for low income families and seniors would <br /> not be recognized as Louisville efforts thereby <br /> loosing autonomy if title is turned over to the <br /> County. The City should maintain ownership while <br /> the County could have full authority to maintain <br /> and oversee operations at both facilities. <br /> Jim Liles, Boulder County Housing Authority <br /> Director, gave Council background into the <br /> Housing Authority's background and listed other <br /> communities ' facilities they currently manage. <br /> Allen Feinstein, Housing Management Coordinator <br /> for Boulder County, related to Council that each <br /> community ' s citizens a. e given priority to the <br /> housing in that community. Feinstein manages <br /> closely with the tenants and gives attention to <br /> individual needs. <br /> One consideration that staff considered in over <br /> title to the Boulder County Housing Authority was <br /> the reasoning that the obligation/liability could <br /> outweigh the asset of continuing with a <br /> management-only agreement on the part of Boulder <br /> County. <br /> Staff was directed to do an assessment to see <br /> exactly what costs would be incurred by the City <br /> to continue with the current â– anagecent agreement <br /> and if Boulder County Housing Authority will agree <br /> to continue with their services on this same <br /> level. <br /> 10 <br />
