Through: Jane Bais DiSessa, City Manager
Prepared By: Maria Ostrom, Finance Director
Date Prepared: December 7, 2020
PURPOSE
To approve the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the Brighton Housing Authority (BHA) and the City of Brighton (COB) for a one-year term.
STRATEGIC FOCUS AREA
Recognizable and Well-Planned Community
Financially Responsible
Strong Regional Relationships and Partnerships
BACKGROUND
The original MOA was approved in 2013 with amendments to extend the MOA in 2019 and 2020. It has been a useful and productive arrangement for both parties. Mutual desire exists to extend the agreement for a period of one year with a change to incorporate monthly rent due from BHA as well as the addition of clear language to outline BHA will report all payroll and payroll related costs under its own federal employer identification number (FEIN).
FINANCIAL IMPACT
BHA will pay $5.70/square foot for space leased in Historic City Hall, of $1,330 per month. This is based on their current occupation of 2,800 square feet and could change, up or down, depending on their space needs.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the MOA as written.
