- -and providing at reasonable rental charge the kind of housing and environment that helps to preserve human dignity -- -and at the same time reduces costly city service necessities that are inherent in a concentration of sub - standard dwelling facilities. The local housing authority has asked for urgent action on this Resolution to forestall the possibility of South Bend losing the 350 units allocated by the Home Housing Finance Authority. I talked with Third District Congressman John Brademas, as well as Indiana Seantors Homer Capehart and Vance Hartke by Long distance telephone today. Senator Hartke, in his return call, assured me that lack of favorable action tonight would not mean a forfeit of this allocation. Senator Capehart also confirmed this position, as did Congressman Brademas. All three of these Indiana legislators have assured me of their utmost effort to keep South Bend on the HHFA eligibility list for housing units when a suitable site is determined. Since the playland park site is not a sub - standard dwelling area, but on the contrary, is a suitable commercial property site and /or a most desirable river frontage site, it would be my wish and that of a majority of your Council men that the local Housing Authority re- evaluate its site possibilities and give additional consideration to alternate locations, particularly where there might exist a concentration of sub - standard dwellings. We are sure that the funds invested in low rent housing which helps to rebuild deteriorated areas will be wisely spent. A two- fold purpose is .served in doing this: the cost of municipal services is reduced by eliminating these run down areas and a better citizen will grow out of the rebuilt environment provided in living quarters which have a measure of decency and dignity. I would therefore hope that the South Bend Housing Authority would withdraw the existing Resolution and would in the near future submit a new Resolution proposing another site than the one appearing in this present Resolution, preferably an expansion of the presently under construction Plaza Court project. Mr. William E. Voor, Attorney for the.Housing Authority, respectfully requests permission to withdraw the Resolution. Councilman Lehman stated that althouth the Resolution was signed by President Kroll, he would like to make a motion to withdraw the Resolution. Councilman Kroll stated that he had no objection. Councilman Coleman seconded the motion. Motion carried. Resolution withdrawn. Councilman Glass made a motion for a five minute recess. Councilman Lehman seconded the motion. Motion carried. Recess granted at 8:34.PM. The meeting was reconvened at 8 :42. P.M. Councilman Allen asked permission to speak on the Resolution even though it had been withdrawn. Permission granted. Mr. Henry Sucher, Director of Urban Renewal, appeared before the Council to explain the difference between Public Housing and Urban Renewal. Councilman Lehman stated that Mr. Sucher had met with the Councilmen at a previous meeting to discuss Urban Renewal and the Council was satisfied with the report. Councilman Muszynski made a motion that the verbal report of Mr. Sucher be accepted. Councilman Lehman seconded the motion. Motion carried. Councilman Lehman moved that the Council meet with the Housing Authority as soon as possible to discuss a new site for Public Housing. Councilman Glass seconded the motion. Motion carried.
