<br />and on page 20 change Blighted to Area 1 and change the entire document in all areas to reflect
<br />this; in addition to changing the names, on page 27 were we have the mix, Blighted would be
<br />changed to Area 1 and that area would be eligible for all the programs, and wherever there is a
<br />"no" under the designation of Area 1, it should be marked "yes," seconded by Council Member
<br />Kopczynski. She explained the impact of her motion. The motion carried. Mr. Conrad Damian,

<br />ment. He said it was imperative that citizens be involved in all areas. Ms. Marzy Bauer,

<br />ment to reflect the D,C,B,A, with blighted being A, seconded by Council Member Taylor. The
<br />motion carried. She indicated there were dollar amounts that she disagreed with, however -, when
<br />they come back to Council for appropriations the Council could change $600,000 without going
<br />back to Washington, D. C., for approval.
