He stated an inspection was completed and even if the EDA were to approve a $10,000 grant and a $9,000 grant were approved by the County, it would not bring this home to the minimum Section 8 standards.

Commissioner Cohen stated he feels the EDA should move forward on both homes.

The EDA has a vested interest in the amount of $8,250 (grant) in the home. In retrospect, we are recommending that this home be acquired, if possible, to demolish the same. A bid of $52,736 represents our position and that of the mortgage company. If there are no other bidders, I would recommend letting it go back to the bank and deal directly with them. If there are other bidders, we should bid to the $52,736 amount to protect our position. The second home on the agenda is located at 6730 Perry Avenue North. As described to you at the last meeting, there is significant damage to the home on the interior. I would propose acquiring this home with CDBG funds. I will discuss this home Monday with you. If you want to pursue this acquisition, a motion from you is all that will be needed. This would not be a condemnation but a voluntary sale. There has been no discussion at this time about a purchase with the owner. • Commissioner introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: EDA RESOLUTION NO.
