RETRACT PETITION AND RE- FILE TWO SEPARATE PETITIONS, R -66 e. Report on George & Ella Pope Case, Parcel No. 13 -8, R- 57:Project: POPE CASE President Nimtz called on Mr. Brownell to make a report con- STATUS, cerning the discussion he had with the old problem of the Pope R -57 case in meeting with the HUD officials. Mr. Brownell advised that Mrs. Fredi Schmutte and Ms. Eleanor Granger were here from the HUD Office, in Indianapolis, and we met herewith Mr. and Mrs. Pope, Messrs. Kevin J. Butler, Frank Alford and himself. The discussion was about the re- habilitation of their home in which they have funds available to them from a 312 Loan. Mr. and Mrs. Pope were informed by the HUD officials that their problem had to be handled between the Pope's and this LPA, and that HUD had no additional funds for them, and that their arrangements would have to be made entirely with this Commission. Mr. Pope is trying now to get a contractor who will do additional work on their home and when he gets the contractor, we have agreed to meet with him and his contractor, and have our inspector check the house for any work that has been done on the house that is defective, and then proceed from there. The claim Mr. Pope is making is that his loan money is not worth as much to him now as when he borrowed it, due to changes in prices and things. We told him we cannot do anything about that. Mrs. Fredi Schmutte is the former Miss Fredi Rolsky, recently married. Mr. Butler said this contract was initially started in 1970. Mr. Brownell added that the Pope's have had two contractors and has had difficulty between the contractors and himself. The HUD representatives were here to try to resolve this case that has been pending. -13 -
