. . . . payment under this provision may not exceed the cost of the move. The items set forth under this portion of the claim appear to be improvements to the realty, with the exception of signs (and a payment was allowed for a sign) and displays. The displays, no doubt, were considered under moving or they may also be of a more permanent nature and become an improvement to the realty. The loss of personal property and theft loss is not an allowable ex- pense under the governing Federal regulations. The storage of personal property is not an allowable expense unless the Agency determines it to be necessary. Furthermore, no detailed expla- nation of the items claimed nor any documentation of the expenses incurred has been provided. In all instances of Agency staff denial of reimbursements as re- quested by the claimant, HOD Guidelines for Relocation Assistance were used as justification for said denials. In fact, in order to ensure that Mr. Greenberg received the proper relocation assistance, we had our original findings reviewed by one of the leading reloca- tion consultants, Port & Flor, Inc., who were in accord with our findings. The Redevelopment Commission, at its meeting of July 5,1983, reviewed the claim and voted unanimously to deny the claim of Green's Furniture, Inc. Mr. Riemer, attorney for Green's Furni- ture, Inc., was advised of the time and place of the hearing, but declined to attend. A copy of the minutes of the Commission meet- ing, as they relate to the Greenberg claim, is attached as Exhibit "D" for rev iew. Alternatives Considered Not applicable. Recommended Solution In view of the above information, it is respectfully requested that the Redevelopment Agency deny the appeal of Green's Furniture, Inc. to receive additional funds for relocation assistance. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please let me know as soon as possible. . ;;-Ø ~ø ~ David N. Ream . DNR/TEH/sc Attachments A-s '5 3A
