Committee present were introduced by Mr. Taylor; Mr.
Huey S hoby, President; Mr. Hollis Hughes, Model Cities;
Mrs. L venia Cain, Housing Committee, and Miss Norma
Ganowa , Neighborhood Association, with Model Cities.
Mr. Hollis Hughes said on behalf of the Model Cities
Planning Agency that Merry Avenue represents the major
project of the third year plan. Yesterday HUD approved
the Model Cities Plan with a great deal of praise for
the planning process they went through in interrelated-
ness of problems. The Committees who worked together
to for ulate the project on Merry Avenue were:
1) Housing Committee
2) Fiscal Committee
3) Economic Committee
4) Manpower Committee
Mr. Sc by said all the residents were in favor of the
project and voted for it. One business, Scott's Liquor
Store, was upset and voted against it. Shorty Pappa's
Bar is also located in the area. The proposed develop-
ment is for light industrial uses. This will eliminate
a lot f substandard and blighted properties - -some have
been b rued out.

second d by Mr. Wade, and unanimously carried.
Mr. Ba be said in talking with HUD in Indianapolis on

project then will be a credit towards other projects in
that area. There will be Federal assistance through
Model Cities for the relocation of the people, but no
Federal assistance for the project cost.
Three neetings have been held with the PAC Committee- -
the last held Tuesday night; the relocation benefits
were explained. The residents are all aware of the
relocation. Resources will be the largest item.

7. PROGRESS REPORT
a. Northeast PAC Committee: On evening of
June 12th, the Northeast PAC Committee met with HUD
representative, Mrs. Joan Otto and Mr. Barbe. The
principal item of the meeting was to discuss a new
type of planning process that HUD officials are asking
we go into - -a planning process at the grass roots level,
such as we have in Model Cities, but on a more concentra-
ted time basis. The need is to get together with all
the various affected agencies to work out a plan for
the Northeast and Southeast Neighborhood on a concentra-
ted ba is and period of time. The PAC Committee voted
in fav r of requesting the Mayor enter into such a
planni g process.
