Yes Mike I realize that and Middletown is currently paying $132K for the service I don;t see where $140K is out of line for the service which is suppose to be an improvement reporting wise over what they get now.]]> Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:24:58 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2190&PID=14041&title=section-8-140000-housing-inspection-consultant#14041 SECTION 8: $140,000 HOUSING INSPECTION CONSULTANT : wasteful wrote:Vivian the thing... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2190&PID=14038&title=section-8-140000-housing-inspection-consultant#14038 Author: Mike_Presta

Not trying to be picky but I must make one small correction:
 
The funds are coming THROUGH HUD.  The funds are COMING FROM the very same place that ALL PUBLIC FUNDS come from:  YOU and I and EVERY OTHER TAXPAYER!!! 
 
But we don't get back what we pay in!!  It costs money to collect and process all of this money, and it costs more money to administer all of the bureaucracy associated with getting the money back through all of the various programs.  The more levels of bureaucracy the money goes through (city, county, state, federal and then back down) the less is left to actually return to the taxpayers.
 
Our founding fathers understood this.  That is why they enumerated the powers of government and reserved ALL OTHER powers and rights to THE PEOPLE!

I believe this contract could be done for less than $132,000 however since this contract was not open for bid we will never know the answer to this question.

  I thought I would use this old subject thread to ask all you bloggers how you liked the introduction to your new inspection company at last night’s council meeting?
  This was painful to watch, he couldn’t even answer the questions about his own company and how the inspections are conduccted?
  I still believe these inspections will cost more than $140,000 within the next year.

The money for these inspections is coming from the HUD Section 8 funds from the federal governement and was basically allocated away from CONSOC to the city to pay for these inspections, right.  Now whether I agree with the amount spent or the fact that it is spent out of town or however it is spent, it was basically set aside for inspections.  What else would it have been used for if not inspections.  More Section 8 vouchers?]]> Wed, 04 Nov 2009 06:29:19 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2190&PID=13420&title=section-8-140000-housing-inspection-consultant#13420 SECTION 8: $140,000 HOUSING INSPECTION CONSULTANT : Thanks PacmanI just noticed that... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2190&PID=13419&title=section-8-140000-housing-inspection-consultant#13419 Author: Vivian Moon

Thanks Pacman
I just noticed that you posted the link to the Section 8 inspection form.
Yep, that is the standard form that they have been using for years.

Having this form on a laptop would cut down on paperwork time and mailing expense however you still need to inspect the property and it takes about 30 minutes to do it properly. Then you have travel time between units.
