The County will be paid a fee of 6% of the total rehabilitation contract cost for each unit in the program for a total $9,000 if all available funds are utilized for the program, The Hotasing and Community Development Department will be able to integrate this request into its current Housing Rehabilitation work schedule utilizing current department staff, Furthermore, the County entered into identical administrative arrangements with the Town in the early 1990s with successful results, and therefore staff anticipates continued success in working with the Town to implement this program. The County Attorney has reviewed and approved the Performance Agreement, FINANCIAL IMPACT: This Agreement will provide approximately $9,000 in revenue for the County Housing and Community Development Department.
