Brownsville approves housing rehabilitation bid tied to Tennessee grant
Summary
Council approved Resolution 119 to use a Tennessee housing development grant for rehabilitation work on a North Washington property and accepted the recommended bid (presented as $102,000) after staff described the grant administration process and vetting.
City staff introduced Resolution 119, describing work tied to a Tennessee housing development grant for a property on North Washington. The board reviewed staff comments that Southwest Resources (Tom Skihand/Keyhand referenced) is administering the grant and coordinating with individual homeowners, and that Tennessee housing had vetted the contractor. A bid amount of $102,000 was presented as the recommended award.
Board members asked about grant-match requirements and the role of the grant administrator. Staff explained administration and paperwork are handled by the contractor/administrator and that the city primarily provides the grant funds and oversight.
The council moved, seconded and approved the resolution by voice/sign vote; staff said they would follow up with details on any required local match or administrative fees.
