4. COMMUNICATIONS (Cont'd 5. OLD Mr. Larry Ford, WSJV -TV Reporter, said: "Part of this financial plan calls for - -or assumes that you are going to receive the Urgent Needs Funds that have been requested from HUD- -but, in the speech to the Rotary Club, the Mayor said he was not very optimistic at all about receiving those funds. What are you going to do if that money doesn't come in ?" Mr. Brownell replied that he wrote that plan and his thought was that HUD encouraged us to apply for Urgent Needs Funds. Those funds have been appropriated by Congress; they are available to HUD. It is just a question of which cities get the 'funds, and "as long as HUD wanted us to approach a close -out problem and submit a financial plan, I thought we should put that problem right back to HUD, and say, well, are you going to give us the funds that are provided for in the regulations, been pro - vided by Congress or not. We need them in order to do what you want us to do." The Chair added, "That was my comment - -we urgently need them to do what you want." The Chair asked Mr. Brownell if we will receive some answer from the Mayor and City Council concerning this plan, and whether this plan has been submitted to HUD? Mr. Brownell advised they had just met and talked orally; there was no written communication either way; and the plan has been submitted to HUD. Motion was made by Mr. Wiggins, seconded by Mr. Donaldson and unani- mously carried, to receive the HUD Area Office letter dated February 4, 1976, and place the letter on file. BUSINESS a.

The beginning of construction and completion dates would also be delayed. Mr. Brownell advised the last time the Commission extended the time for making the award until the 29th of February', because that was the letter date that Mr. Foegley had. Hickey's letter had an extension date of March 15. We extended the time for Hickey and Foegley, in the Commission meeting, to February 29. Now, Mr. Foegley is agreeing to the extension to June 15th, but ae can extend both of them until March 15 or we can extend Foegley's until June if the Commission wishes', but Hickey's can only be ex- tended to March 15 at this time. he Chair asked for a motion to approve this.
