IN MEETING TIME <br />It was unanimously agreed upon by those present that the new meeting time would <br />be changed from 4:00 P.M. to 11 :00 A.M. in the future. The regular meeting <br />date, the first Thursday of each month, will remain the same. <br />Iii. Nunn Dxy om Tusnir TO WILMAN IRKI TZVALIL, &DWIMISi7CRA'I['IOW <br />OFIL`IICE IN (CHIIC AL G® <br />Mr. Plac reported on the visit which he, Mr. Helmen, Mr. Baer and Mr. Sucher <br />made to hicago on Friday, May 29th. <br />The key fact emerging from the meeting was that the Comprehensive Plan for the <br />City would have to be completed and approved by the City Planning Commission, <br />as well as by the Urban Renewal Administration before the Loan & Grant Applica• <br />lion forte Sample Street Project could be approved. <br />The pres nt schedule calls for completion of the Loan & Grant Application early in <br />1960. Federal officials also pointed out that there is now a time limit of 18 months <br />for the period from approval of the Survey & Planning Application until approval <br />of the Loan & Grant Application. Since the Survey & Plarmiug Application was <br />approved January 12, 1959, the Loan & Grant Application . and therefore the <br />Compreh nsive Plan - must be approved by July 12, 1960., or the federal grant <br />reservati tn would revert and be made available to other communities. <br />The Pi 'ng Commission's proposal to include an additional planner in the 1959 <br />Budget had been turned down last year, holding back progress on the Comprehensive <br />Plan. This Plan should be completed by the end of this year in order to allow time <br />for reviews; therefore even the inclusion of a new planner in the 1960 budget would <br />not solve the problem. For this reason it was suggested that the Redevelopment <br />Commission, with the approval of the Mayor and Council, hire a planner or con- <br />sultant fo the remainder of this year with funds leftover in its salary account. <br />'In this <br />tion woi <br />regular <br />finer a new man could be hired by about August and help complete the <br />isive Plan without delaying the Redevelopment Program. The expecta- <br />be that after the beginning of 1960 tins man could be carried on the <br />anning Commissions budget. <br />-2, <br />
