Under Bills and Communications, the Executive Director and Board reviewed correspondence from our current IT service provider Micro Support Group (MSG), Inc. Ms. Dayna Morton, Director of Operations, acknowledges our request for an extension to the current Malden Redevelopment Authority’s (MRA) IT Managed Services contract, which extends the terms on a month to month basis. The MRA must notify MSG 30 days prior to the final termination of services. The extension is necessary to afford additional time to migrate MRA files over the city’s server now that the MRA is a city department known as the Office of Strategic Planning & Community Development. This was voted under New Business. Under Report of the Executive Director, Ms. Burke and the Board discussed amending the Agreement by and between the Malden Redevelopment Authority and SP Plus Corporation extending the term of the Agreement for three (3) years from December 15, 2021 to December 14, 2024. All other terms and conditions of the Agreement dated December 14, 2018 remain the same. This was voted under New Business. The Executive Director and Board discussed the parking agreement by and between the Malden Redevelopment Authority and Alben, Inc., owner of Pearl Street Station Restaurant, 53 Summer Street. The restaurant’s agreement for customer and employee parking in the Mountain Ave. Parking Deck expires on December 31, 2021 and will be extended for an additional year, January 1, 2022 – December 31, 2022. All other terms of the agreement remain the same. This was voted under New Business. The Executive Director and Board reviewed correspondence from HOME Director Alexis Turgeon summarizing the NSC HOME-ARP Consulting Services Request for Proposals (RFP). The North Suburban Consortium (NSC) is receiving $7,275,299.00 in federal HOME Investment Partnerships program funds though the American Rescue Plan. Among the updated regulations, there is a requirement for grantees to go through an allocation planning process to assess the housing inventory, shelter, and service delivery gaps and develop priority needs that inform how the funds are allocated and spent. The RFP process will enable the NSC to contract with a consultant to assist with the consultation, public participation and analysis of gaps within the housing inventory, shelter, and service delivery systems. A resolution authorizing the Executive Director to execute a contract with the most advantageous proposal bidder responding to the RFP was voted under New Business. The Executive Director and Board reviewed a change to the “Persons Authorized to Recommend and/or Approve Invoices” memorandum dated December 14, 2021. As part of the Agency’s financial controls, two (2) signatures are required on all invoices to be paid. The revisions to the memo are due to the MRA’s merger with the City of Malden. This was voted under New Business.
