The Polk County Board of Supervisors approved several housing-related actions, including contracts to address lead hazards at Des Moines addresses, authorization of a weatherization project award, and submission of a grant application to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for a lead-based paint hazard reduction program.
The board approved a resolution authorizing a contract with Richmond Construction for lead-hazard repairs at 3120 Fourth Street, Des Moines, and separate resolutions approving contracts with Fab Rehab for lead-hazard repairs at 4029 East 27th Street and 3924 30th Street, Des Moines (addresses as read in the transcript). The board also approved a weatherization project (ID 20779911) in the amount of $17,482.01 to be awarded to an approved contractor.
The supervisors further approved submission of a grant application to HUD for the lead-based paint hazard reduction grant program. All items were considered together on the agenda, moved and seconded, and approved by roll call with all present supervisors recorded as voting yes. The transcript records the approvals and the project amount for the weatherization item but does not include contractor names for the weatherization award or the HUD grant amount; those details were not stated during the meeting.
