REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OCTOBER 2t, 1977 Page Six 6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT'D b) had been installed in the house. The home owner and the contractor got together, we explained to her that we couldn't give her any additional cost for the storm windows but if she could find anything in the house that she could possibly do hereself and it wasn't a major code violation we would allow her to exchange for some storm wind ws. The contractor is giving her the storm windows at his cost which is much cheaper, about $25.00 cheaper a piece. This contractor is the same contractor that was going to do the painting. Mr. Wiggins indicated that if the home owner worked out a bargain we ought not to stand in her way. Mr. Wiggins moved for approval, supported by Mr. Robi son and carried. c) Commission approval is requested for fund allocation for non - profit group rehabilitation on the structure at 126 East Dubail Avenue (RENEW INC.) for $4,657.47. The Advisory Board approved this request subject to the approval of the Commission, and if approved the contract between the Redevelopment Commission and RENEW INC. should be signed by the parties listed on the contract form. Mr. Wiggins moved for approval, and seconded by Mr. Robinson the motion carried. 7. PROGRESS REPORTS Mr. Brownell indicated that there were no progress reports and this completed all of our formal business so we could next go to the continuation of the public hearing. Mr. TTimtz desired to acknowledge the receipt of a letter from Mayor Nemeth which arrived yesterday and was too late to be placed on the agenda, which reads: "I am writing this letter to request that you and your fellow commissioners consider removing the Odd Fellows Building from the proposed amendment to the downtown urban renewal plan. While I still believe that the inclusion of the Odd Fellows Building in the plan change is essential to insure the success of the renewal prof ct, it has become obvious that the owners of the building, 104 South Main Joint Venture, intend to legally obstruct the project for a lengthy period especially in view of statements to that effect made by one of the members of the group. Inasmuch as the property for Century Mall must be ready for bidding by April of 1979, an undue delay in meeting that timetable could mean the failure of the overall prof ct. Therefore, I am requesting that the Odd Fellows Building be removed from Redevelopment Resolution No. 540 in the hope that the remaining properties can be acquired and the project proceed without unnecessary delay. Thanking you for your consideration in this matter I remain very truly yours Peter J. Nemeth." The ( cons: hear: part from 'hair will direct that this be received and placed on file for Aeration following the full hearing and adjournment of the public .ng on this matter. Are there any comments or questions on the of the Commission. Mr. Anderson requested a copy of the letter Mayor Nemeth.
