PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR Mrs. Kenneth Sheetz, representative of the Park Avenue Neighborhood Association, invited each of the Council to attend their Tour of Homes, May 6, 1976. She gave each Council Member a ticket for the tour. She said there would also be an ice cream social. Mrs. Jane Swan, 2022 Swygart, said that at the last meeting she had questioned giving Goodwill funds through Revenue Sharing. She said the YWCA is also attempting to get funds. She indicated the Council had started a precedent and she did not think this was proper use of Revenue Sharing Funds. Council Member Kopczynski said he had received numerous compl &ints on public housing, primarily the 235 homes. He said he felt the-Sbuth -Bend Housing Authority should conform to code in main- taining these yards. He said he thought pressure should be put on them by the city attorney's office to have them comply with the ordinance. He said he would like the city attorney to con- tact the South Bend Housing Authority and let them know their responsibility. He said the Civil City of South Bend does not own these homes, the South Bend Housing Authority does. Council Member Taylor said he would like to address himself to Mrs. Swan. He said he thought the fastest way to lose federal funds would be to wipe out social program. He said he agreed with her 100% that there is probably some kind of a happy medium somewhere as to how much we should be doing for all social programs. He said he agreed with her that we cannot take over funding all these programs. Council President Parent said they had used these funds before for social ser- vices, such as REAL Services.
