3. Approve and authorize the Executive Director to execute an amendment to an
2947 agreement with Countywide Property Management, Inc., amending the expiration
date and the Schedule of Compensation, for the purpose of providing property
management services.
Elisa Stipkovich, Executive Director of the Community Development Department, stated
that in 2001, Countywide Property Management had been hired along with another firm
for property management services. The other firm had not performed well and Ms.
Stipkovich requested the one year extension on this agreement due to the number of
properties in transition and the difficulties it would cause to change firms. Agency
Member Sidhu asked when the Agency anticipated going out to bid for this service,
remarking transitions were constants and would always present problems; Ms. Stipkovich
remarked that at the end of the extended term, competitive bidding would be used.
Agency Member Sidhu moved to approve the extension to the Countywide Property
Management agreement, seconded by Agency Member Chavez. Agency Member
Hernandez questioned why the management firm was paid for empty units under this
agreement; Ms. Stipkovich indicated a lot of properties were empty and needed
maintenance and were boarded up as many of them were scheduled for demolition. She
explained this contract was not typical of a property management situation as most were
scheduled for new development and the Agency held the units until all were acquired or
certain approvals or remediations had taken place. She pointed out that most properties
were commercial, not residential.
Roll Call vote: Ayes - 5; Chairman Pringle, Agency Members Chavez, Galloway,
Hernandez and Sidhu; Noes - O. Motion Carried
ADJOURNMENT:
There being no further business, Chairman Pringle adjourned the Anaheim
Redevelopment Agency meeting at 6:00 P.M.
