TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Richard B. Helwig, City Manager
SUBJECT: Purchase of Service Agreement with Centro de
Informacion to Provide Moving Allowance for
Casa Linda Residents
PURPOSE
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and
members of the City Council with information concerning a
moving allowance payment program to residents of the Casa
Linda apartment complex.
BACKGROUND
In accordance with the court-approved settlement agreement,
the Casa Linda property owners served the Casa Linda tenants
with bilingual eviction notices requiring the premises to be
vacated by November 30, 1995 . Approximately 80 dwelling
units were affected by the eviction notice .
The City Council approved, in concept, a program for defray-
ing the tenants ' moving expenses . The program will be adminis-
tered through Elgin Township and Centro de Informacion. The
program will provide one-time payments of up to $400 for each
dwelling unit upon receiving confirmation that the unit has
been vacated.
. The City will be entering into a Purchase of Service Agree-
ment (PSA) with Centro de Informacion in which the City will
make a lump sum payment in the amount of $32 , 000 ( 80 units @
$400/unit) . Centro will then disburse the funds after con-
firming a dwelling unit has been vacated. Any remaining
funds will be refunded to the City.

Concerns were raised that tenants with outstanding arrest
warrants might benefit from this grant program. The City
will confirm that any tenant applying for assistance does not
have an outstanding arrest warrant. The police department
has determined there are 105 outstanding arrest warrants for
persons having addresses in the Casa Linda complex. However,
only 23 of those warrants were issued during the past two
years . Moreover, of the 23, eight were issued for Class A
misdemeanors and five for felonies . The police department
continues to attempt serving the warrants . Earlier in the
week, ten warrants were served but eight of the defendants
had moved with no forwarding address, one had a bad address,
and two were no answer.
COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED
There has been ongoing cooperation between Centro de
Information, Elgin Township, and the City.
