On otion made by Mr. Donaldson, seconded by Ms. Aub rn and unanimously carried, leases in the Mon oe- Sample Development were approved. h. Com ission approval requested for amendment to Monroe - Sam le Relocation Policy Statement. Mr. I -,icMahon explained that according to HUD guidelines we can relocate anyone into a substandard dwelling. In he past we were not able to consider such proper- ties. We are asking the Commission to give us per- mission to include funds for code improvements as part of the relocation benefits, still remaining within our $15,000 guideline, allowing us to address a situation where an individual selects property requiring code improvements. This would open up a number of opportunitites to the homeowner as far as his selection, and provides the homeowner with an opportunity to address code changes without causing a f nancial burden on them. Ms. Auburn stated that it is important to give as many options to people that we are relocating as possible. Some of the housing stock in our community is still very solid but because it was built a few years ago may not meet code. Allowing use of the fun s to go in to bring the house up to code really doe expand options to these people. Mr.jNimtz said he felt this was a great step forward.
