Whereas, the Town of East Hartford and the East Hartford Housing Authority (the “Authority”) entered into a certain Cooperation Agreement dated September 19, 1950 which agreement, as previously amended, dedicated a number of housing units administered by the Authority as “federally subsidized units”; and

Whereas, the recognition of housing units, as federally subsidized units makes federal funds available for the maintenance and improvement of such units; and

Whereas, the recognition of units as federally subsidized units allows the Town of East Hartford to receive a payment in lieu of taxes with respect to such units; and

Whereas, the Authority is asking the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development to recognize the 30 housing units at Hutt Heights as federally subsidized housing units, thereby providing Federal funding for maintenance and improvement and a payment in lieu of taxes to the Town of East Hartford estimated to be between $4,000 - $5,000.

Now Therefore, Be it Resolved that the Town Council authorizes Mayor Melody A. Currey to enter into an Amendment to the 1950 Cooperation Agreement, in the form attached hereto, adding 30 additional housing units currently located at Hutt Heights, as federal subsidized units.
