The Project Manager is responsible for managing, monitoring and inspecting rehabilitation <br /> projects like: the Emergency Progam, the Homebuyer Program, Rental Rehabilitation and the Rehabilitation program for <br /> HOME and CDBG. <br /> With the increase in the number of demolitions managed by the Neighborhood Inspections Division,there is also a need to have <br /> more "cost of repair" estimates performed. There�y be times when testimony may be needed as to the condition of proposed <br /> demolished units. Mr. Oleson has over 30 years in construction and has served as a ternporary inspector for the Building <br /> Inspections Division. <br /> Mr. Oleson's services will be shared between the two Divisions as needed. This is special project work and it is more efficierrt <br /> for the city to obtain these services via an outsourced contract rather than putting someone on the payroll. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTIONS: None <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: N/A <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: Should the City Council have any questions,they may contact Richelle D. Irons at(217)424-2864 or <br /> e-maiL•rirons@decahuil.gov. <br /> BUDGET/TIME IMPLICATIONS: <br /> Mr. Oleson's compensations will be paid by Commuiuty Development Block Grant(CDBG)and HOME Investment Partnership <br /> funds,DCDF,Illinois Housing Development Authority(IHDA)and Howard G.
