7. NEWIBUSINESS (Cont'd Commissioner Chenney raised the question on the installing of the bath trap. Mr. Keith Crighton, Director of the Bureau of Housing Program, advised the memorandum the Commissioners have in their packet from Mr. Johnson states that the tub overflow was not properly connected, and as it originally was not pro - perly connected, the subflooring subsequently rotted. No in- spector or contractor can determine what the damage is in the wall or in the floor, until it is taken apart. Motion was made by Mr. Wiggins, seconded by Mr. Cira and carried, for the approval of Change Order No. l to Rehabilitation Contract No. 37, for an increase in contract amount of $143.'80, with an amended contract total of $5,174.41, subject to Legal Counsel approval. f.

Mr. Crighton advised, "Essen- tially, what we are asking is that we maintain the same working re- lationship we had with the Redevelopment Commission under the South- east Rehabilitation Program, only the relationship would be expanded to encompass the four direct programs under the Bureau of Housing this year, and this would be: 1) Project Area Rehabilitation, which would affect both the South- east and Northwest areas; . 2) HAO Referrals Program, which is also an experimental section of our community Development Housing Program; 3) City -Wide Emergency Repair Program, which is a very new and innovative approach to emergency housing conditions; and - 10 PROGRAM GUIDELINES FOR HOUSING REHABILITA- TION ASSIS- TANCE PRO- GRAM AP- PROVED
