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. ~ Sheryll Schroeder, MMC Secretary, Anaheim Redevelopment Agency
