Title
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO A CONTRACT SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH DHA CONSULTING, LLC TO CONTINUE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS AND HOUSING CONSULTING SERVICES (HOUSING AUTHORITY)

The proposed Amendment No. 2 would increase the maximum contract amount by an additional $30,000 to cover the 3.5 year term extension.
