6. NEW BUSINESS (Continued) b. (Continued) C. Mr. Brownell: No, this is simply a matter that I have dis- covered that in the revolving fund there is $10,000. They have been asking people on our staff to do work for the city which we can't do and pay them with federal money. So, I wanted them to authorize the reinstatement of the Urban Re- development Fund so that.we can do this work for the city and pay them out of local monies. Chair: Kevin, is a motion necessary that we approve this action? Mr. Butler: At the point that the commission wants to authorize staff to involve themselves in this, you are going to need action by the commission. C. Wayne Brownell: I would like authorization today if I possibly can get it. Mr. Wiggins moved for authorization to request consideration for setting up an Urban Redevelopment Fund, with letter to members of the Common Council. Mr. Cira seconded and motion carried.

That is an addition of $350.00.

Mr. Wiggins moved for approval. Mr. Robinson: Was that wall that was caving in repaired before they put all the cosmetics on the front of it? It says here, "during the winter the basement wall began to give way." I'm asking if the wall was repaired before they put the cosmetics on it? Mr. Johnson: Yes. Evidently it had been repaired some years ago . . . You know how sometimes when you have these old Michigan basements, that are dug out and you leave the dirt there and there had been a one -inch cap on it, the cap is just cracked. r. Robinson: But was the problem solved whereby it won't do it gain, that's what I'm asking. . Johnson: Well, we think so. It has already been sealed and are going to waterproof the whole thing. -14- APPROVAL OF CHANGE ORDER NO. 1 TO SECD /PR /CS- 6/47 FOR INCREASE OF $65.00.F,OR CONTRACT TOTAL $2,951.
