Dickinson City Council Agenda Item Data Sheet MEETING DATE January 8, 2013 TOPIC: Briefing, Discussion and Direction Concerning Request from Galveston County and Horne, LLP To Locate Temporary Office At Dickinson City Hall. BACKGROUND: RECOMMENDATION: On December 19, 2012, I received a call from Jim Gentile with Galveston County Housing advising me that the County s new Grant Administrator had been named and it is Horne, LLP. Mr. Gentile also advised that Horne needed to find a satellite location where its employees could work with applicants as they process applications for the Housing Program. On Wednesday, January 2, 2013, I met with Mr. Gentile and Ken Benigno of Horne, LLP to show them two cubicles that are currently available in the Community Development area to see if that set up would work for what Horne needed. Mr. Benigno advised that they would like to use the cubicles approximately 2 days each week, and its employees would work within the City s regular business hours. This would be a temporary office for approximately one year. Horne would provide its own equipment, chairs, any telephone/internet service, as well as an additional partition to segment the cubicles from the rest of the Community Development area. This arrangement would be a new experience for Galveston County, Horne, LLP and the City in terms of working in partnership, and Galveston County and Horne, LLP are excited about the possibility. Dickinson is a convenient location within Galveston County for this satellite office and would provide quick access for people in our community who are applying for housing assistance through Galveston County. If the Council approves this move, the City and Horne, LLP would enter into an Agreement similar to the one the City has with TABC outlining the arrangement. Staff requests direction from the Council as to how it wishes to proceed on this matter. ATTACHMENTS: None FUNDING ISSUES Not applicable Not budgeted Full Amount already budgeted.
