RELOCATION APPEALS BOARD RECOMMENDATION
The Executive Director reported that the Relocation Appeals Board
had held two meetings to review grievance procedures and consider
grievances filed by certain Trailer Park residents and stated the
Board had forwarded a recommendation to the Agency that a professional
relocation consulting firm be hired to act as a liaison between the
Agency and the trailer park residents. The Executive Director stated
staff would recommend that current city personnel can fulfill the
Agency obligations relating to the trailer park redevelopment without
the additional assistance of a relocation consulting firm. The Executive
Director recommended that the minutes of the Relocation Appeals Board
be received and filed. The Agency discussed construction of cement
pads for trailers and cabanas, the methods of trailer support, and
relocation procedures of trailers. Agency Member Laszlo requested that
in the future the Agency and Council warrants be listed separately and
asked that a procedural audit of the Agency be conducted to insure
compliance with all laws and guidelines. Mr. parrington, Legal Counsel,
stated the procedures for trailer relocation and payment of expenses
are governed by State law and the Relocation Guidelines previously
adopted by the Agency. Mr. Kredell asked that an investigation be made
to Insure the Agency is following all guidelines. Mr. Parrington
replied the State Department of Community Development could be
requested to conduct a procedural audit only after any grievances have
been considered by the Relocation Appeals Board and the Redevelopment
Agency and are determined to be unresolved. Agency Member Gray
objected to a procedural audit stating It was unnecessary and that all
documentation of compliance with the guidelines are available through
the Executive Director, and spoke in support of the relocation efforts.
Agency Member Seitz supported the recommendation for separate Council
and Agency warrant lists and stated he did not feel a procedural audit
was necessary. The Executive Director stated all records of bids
and of trailer relocation and expenses are available to the Agency
for review. Agency Member Laszlo moved that a procedural audit be
conducted of the trailer park redevelopment. Mr. Kredell seconded
