The City failed in their fiduciary responsibilities to have the correct insurances on this contract. If Smith Village Development wins, the only one with any money is Bret Russell. Metro Housing had an impressive list of developer requirements. The city bypassed this under Eason and Walling. But then Eason signed for Walling on some important documents.

Where is the Office of Inspector General (OIG)? Where is HUD? Are they all trying to cover up their ineptitude for allowing this mess?

I don't expect any investigation from the state as the federal money came through MSHDA and the Land bank. Perhaps this is a case of government protecting government! They all hope the people will forget the abuses and they can tout the project as a success.

The land bank has been unable to sell their house on Pontiac for over 3 years. Other homes rehabilitated with federal money are unsold. The city moved requests to rehab homes near downtown to an area near Vernon Chapel, home church of Woodrow Stanley, the Clacks and Raynetta Speed.

This church also held a publicized press conference with Speed and Omar Sims praising the work of Operation Unification. Speed, when she was a county commissioner, pushed to have the east side of Saginaw Street included in the Renewal Zone (former Enterprise zone) designation. This is the area Operation Unification bought and developed. Did they receive any tax credits for their $1 million investment they show for the Village in their brochures? This land is under bankruptcy protection at the moment. Challengers to the bankruptcy claim the reorganization amounts are unrealistic and unattainable.

Lots of attorney exits but no action on the case. Last entry was eight months ago. Why is this case allowed to languish in the courts?

In the Emergency Manager report for October it reflects how of the 39 homes built, only 21 were sold. There are 6 purchase orders, but 12 are not sold.

Also a majority of the houses Flint had renovated with federal money in the Gundry/Salem Neighborhood Stabilization Area have not been sold. Of the 14 homes rehabbed there is 7 purchase agreements and 1 sold. Of the 12 homes in litigation against Operation Unification, 6 have been released by the Court and are available for sale.

The city is looking to consolidate, lease or dispose several properties. They include the former Police Academy, The former Flint Area Enterprise Community building on Welch, McKinley and Park supply buildings, and an unnamed fire station.
