Referrals From Mayor and Council-11/14/2006















Subject Property Located at 4100 Cusseta Road



Description Have the staff to go back and research the records and pull Council

minutes as it relates to the apartments located at 4100 Cusseta Road where

former City Manager Cavezza may have made some statements regarding this

property and provide the Council with a report. (Request of Councilor Suber)



When the staff does the research, don?t just look at what former City Manager

Cavezza said, because she believes that some of the staff members have told

them that this matter was in the courts. (Request of Councilor Turner Pugh)

Response 11/16/06 - The term ?litigation? was mis-communicated as meaning the

disputes were being settled in court. As it pertained to the discussion of

this project, staff and the previous administration used the term ?litigation?

to refer to the discussions to settle disputes that were being held between the

various attorneys for the City, HUD, the property owner and the construction

companies, etc.



At no time during the project did the City, HUD, contractors and/or Ms.

MacCachlan go to court to settle any disputes that arose. Those disputes were

all handled through negotiations between the various parties and attorneys.

These discussions only involved 50 of the 88 units, which were to be

rehabilitated with $700,000 HUD federal dollars.



The final amount of money expended for the project was $597,357.97 for 40 units

that were located in buildings 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 17, 18, 19. The 40 units was

a negotiated number of units between the City, HUD and Ms. MacCachlan in order

to complete the project.



Please see copies of minutes, workorders, and referrals attached.
