The Executive Committee of PAC has already passed a resolu- tion to this effect. Our staff has met with Federal Officials and examined the area and have met with the -5- 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont'd PAC Committee. We have a tentative agreement on the First Project Area as being the renovation of a residential neighborhood bounded by Michigan Street on the West, Sample Street on the North, Indiana Street on the South, and a line that runs up Fellows Street to Wenger over to Carroll and North to Sample Street on the West. We are asking for a total project cost of approximately Six Million Dollars and the Federal share would be ap- proximately Four Million Dollars. If approved by the Commission and City Council, and we decide not to go through with the plan, the City has to reimburse the Federal Government for any money spent. The money re- quested now is for a detailed planning program. Mr. Hel en raised the question on bow this program differs from our regular redevelopment programs, in R -57, etc. Mr. Barbe advised the only difference is the GNR (General Neighborhood Renewal Plan), in contrast to urbai renewal in LaSalle Park. A GNRP encompasses a large area involving a series of projects which can be initiated over an eight -year span and the GNRP would determi a priorities. Permission now is requested to submit the applicaton to City Co ncil, and if approved, comes back to the Com- mission for final' approval. After we get into the plan- ning stage, we must involve the PAC Committee. The test of feasibility of rehabilitation has to be made, along with in pection and a relocation survey. On moti )n by Rev.
