• <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE : December 30 , 1981 <br /> TO: Mayor and Councilmen <br /> FROM: David Childs , City Manager <br /> SUBJECT: Section 8 Rental Assistance Program <br /> -----------------=--------------------------------------------------- <br /> Based on conversations with Ron Berg ; and members of the Metro <br /> Housing and Redevelopment Authority staff and analysis of the costs <br /> of operating this program, it is my. opinion that this function be <br /> moved to the Metro H.R.A. for their implementation. It takes about <br /> 100 units (we -have 20 - 24) to make the administration of the program <br /> cost effective and we will probably never have anywhere near that <br /> number of units . available in St. Anthony. <br /> • Please note that the transfer of duties (which the Metro H.R.A. will <br /> accept) would be done such that the City could reassume control at <br /> some future time should conditions change. . I do not expect that <br /> the need to do so will ever arise . <br /> Members of their staff would still come to St. Anthony on specific <br /> days to take applications rather than our staff doing so and the <br /> reams of paperwork and various inspections would be carried <br /> by Metro H. R.A. staff. <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> I recommend that the City Manager be authorized to negotiate the, <br /> transfer of administration of the Section 8 Rental Assistance Program <br /> - for the City of St. Anthony to the Twin Cities Metro Housing and <br /> . Redevelopment Authority . <br /> DMC/cjk <br /> • <br />
