Ms. Christine Pearson, member of the Housing Authority Board, stated that refurbishing of the project was not advantageous because of restrictions and re- quirements by the State and Federal Government. She urged Council not to delay this project as this would increase costs. She added she felt the project re- placement costs were in line. Mayor Brandes stated that somewhere along the line we must stop and see what can be afforded and that the costs should be realistic. He stated that when spending taxpayers money he felt uncomfortable about the public not being able to see how it is spend and that they should get the most from the money spend and therefore he felt that all alternative should be reviewed for the best project possible. Mayor Brandes asked how long it would take to get a bid on refurbishing the present Komandorski project. Mr. Hirshen advised that it would require several months and would be costly. Mr. Yvan Albert, member of the Housing Authority Board, stated that, as a developer, there is no way possible for a contractor to give a realistic bid on refurbishing without extensive review of codes and requirements. He added that very few rehabilitation projects were cost saving. There being no further questions or commepts, Mayor Brandes thanked the Housing Authority Board for their presentation.
