T., ;_ After reviewing the proposals submitted, it is the recommendation of Community and
Planning Staff, that bid proposals from Exceptional Person's Inc. and Jasmink and
ILAROLD Slavica Sabic be considered as the top bids received.
GEM
t, . ; They are both proposing the standard necessary repairs such as updating the
electrical, plumbing, install vinyl siding etc. Exceptional Person's Inc. will also convert
Llj ENTIN M. the property to a fully wheelchair accessible residence for six persons with disabilities.
HART Mr. and Mrs. Sabic will keep the property as duplex and live on one side while their
Mr,'4 daughter will live on the other. The Sabic's also proposed to build a double garage on
the property.
RON
ivELLER Also, with the property sold to an individual versus a non-profit organization, there is
1'Lra the potential for a fair amount of taxes generated. Planning staff has estimated that
BOB
over a ten-year period at an assessed value of$80,000, there would be approximately
GREEN-AVE/OD $15,000 in taxes. However, staff does recognize the valuable services that are
_at_I:,,._e provided in the community by Exceptional persons.

SCTjn;I_iIT agreed with staff and voted to recommend that Mr. and Mrs. Sabic's bid be accepted
4 I-Lo >{ as the top bid and most beneficial to the City of Waterloo.
Therefore, we request the City Council to authorize the Mayor and Clerk to sign
and fully execute the sale of property in question. If you have any questions or
need any additional i• • ma '• - •:rding this matter, please do not hesitate to
