Councilmember Rader brought up the possibility of a special meeting later in the week to <br /> discuss Council priorities for the resolution. <br /> President O'Malley sought details on HUD's May 81 deadline for this resolution. Dan <br /> Wyman noted that the plan would have been due a month ago, however the COVID pandemic <br /> has loosened up timelines. He noted that the plan must be submitted with 4 other government <br /> entities participating in the County Housing Consortium with Lakewood. Any delay would <br /> cause the other 4 entities to be delayed as well. <br /> President O'Malley requested a brief postponement and asked members make themselves <br /> available for a special meeting later in the week to be held on Resolution 2020-30. <br /> Councilmember Bullock proposed seeking more bids for the projects. Director Ducu <br /> indicated that they received a bid from one of the best field lighting companies that the city <br /> knows, based off of their work at Kauffman Park. <br /> Mayor George supported a special council meeting, but noted the ever-changing budgetary <br /> environment during the COVID pandemic.
