-3- A short general discussion then followed on the above three pieces of equipment; all were in favor as they thought of the equipment as worthwhile investments, and a motion was made by Mr. Place and seconded by Mr. Louis to approve the pur- chasing of same. City Planning would also have access to these three machines. 4. MA IEGNAIL, &550(CIIA3t'RON 07 HOWSi1tlT3 G & ILIEDE EIL GIPR� iENY 07 IItCIIAMS C;®NFIE RIENG IE Mr. Sucher explained that this was an Annual Meeting with both the public housing and urban renewal groups. However, it includes a very comprehensive program on urban renewal alone, and would be worthwhile for attendance. It is to be held in San Francisco on October 12 - thru - October 15. Mr. Koc an presented his view stating he thought Mr. Sucher should attend since he was the Director, and his attendance would prove most beneficial to the Commisi ion in general. Mr. Place expressed a desire to attend the Conference. The Commissioners then approved the trip for the attendance at the Conference for one staff member and one Commissioner, with Mr. Williams making the motion, and Mr. Louis second- ing it, 7he total traveling expenditure per person was estimated at $300. Obtainin valuable information and pointers, plus keeping abreast of the times, are only couple of the benefits that will be obtained from this Conference. 5. flail AN I&I GUNIB.EXENT Because of the Council's decision at the Budget Hearing of rejecting the addition of an Assistant Planner for the City Plan Commission, in relation to the Com- prehensive Plan, Mr. Sucher brou# out the fact that there would be a necessity for him end /or his Assistant, Mr. Neidigh, to help out Mr. Huff, Plan Director, in meeti g the deadline for the Comprehensive Plan Requirement. There seemed to be no other alternative, Mr. Sucher pointed out, since the addi- tional, staff member was rejected, and the Comprehensive Plan is a "must" before our first project can be given final federal approval. It is due by the end of 1959 and will reauire additional services. Mr. Louis made a motion that Mr. Sucher and Mr. Neidigh give all the possible time and assistance to the Planning Department in working on the Comprehensive Plan, and Mr. Williams seconded same, and all were in favor, with the stipulation that a record of our time be kept that was spent on this project.
