<br />A public hearing was held at this time on the resolution. Mr. Odell Newburn, Chairman of the
<br />Model Cities Neighborhood Planning Agency said that the budget was the result of many hours
<br />of study by the agency and it was adopted unanimously by the members of the Planning Agency.
<br />He presented Mr. Charles Lennon, Director of Model Cities, who touched on each of the budget
<br />items. He said there is urgency in sending the approvals to the federal government because
<br />South Bend is one of eight cities that is being given special, earlier budget consideration since
<br />it is a well- conceived program that is in the execution stage. He said the 60- member Model
<br />Neighborhood Planning Agency, which devised the projects, worked hard on the budget in cutting
<br />more than one - million dollars from the original projection because of a limit set by HUD.
<br />Mr. Charles Crutchfield, attorney, told the reasons why legal services have been expanded. He
<br />said it was mainly to cover misdemeanor types of situations where the OEO position does not
<br />permit any representation. Mrs. William C. Meehan, Jr, said she supported an enlargement of the
<br />Day Care center and believed this budget will have to have more funds for 1972. Mrs. Fredrick
<br />Mutzl, 320 Parkovash, South Bend, asked if the money is getting down to the poor people. Mr.
<br />Lennen said that more than 60 per cent of the planning agency members live in the area and had
<br />a hand in working out the details so that the poor will benefit. Miss Virginia Guthrie, Exec.
<br />Secretary, South Bend Civic Planning Association, asked Mr. Lennon questions concerning the
