The Cook County Housing and Redevelopment Authority approved several motions by voice vote at its Jan. 15 meeting, including an audit engagement, formal support for an Economic Development Authority request about a property owned by 1 Roof, and authorization for hiring negotiations by the personnel committee.
The board approved Resolution 25-1 to retain Redpath and Company LLC to perform the HRA's 2024 audit for a cost not to exceed $17,500. The board then considered a request from the EDA regarding covenants on a parcel adjacent to an existing 1 Roof development in Luton and voted to convey support for removing those covenants on the surplus parcel so the land could be subdivided and sold. Finally, the board authorized the personnel committee to negotiate an offer and proceed with reference checks and a background check for a candidate to fill the HRA director position.
