REGULAR MEETING JANUARY 28 1974
<br />(REGULAR MEETING - RECONVENED (CONTINUED)
<br />hiring people to work on the program. Mr. Alles indicated that the department would anticipate
<br />there would be a county housing agency which would act as a local conduit. That agency would then
<br />turn the money over to a not - for - profit organization. The money would come off the top of the
<br />administrative money. Council President Nemeth suggested that a sentence such as "HUD shall
<br />reimburse the city for any expenses incurred" be added to the first paragraph in Article II, on
<br />page 5. Mr. Alles indicated that the department would not object to that wording; however, it did
<br />not want this to open the door for various sundry types of items. Councilman Parent made a motion
<br />to insert the following in the first paragraph of Article II, page 5: "to the extent that the
<br />expense to the city of such assistance is reimbursed by HUD ". Councilman Kopczynski seconded the
<br />motion. The motion carried. Mr. James Roemer, City Attorney, wondered if, when the resolution was
<br />passed, changes could be made if desired. He asked if the provisions of the memo could be changed,
<br />and Mr. Alles indicated that the memo was not a contract. He stated that the program could be
<br />ended at any time; however, it would be requested that the county consider the matter seriously
<br />because it would be a waste of time and the taxpayers' money. There was a question raised by Mr.
<br />Gene Evans, a member of the staff of the Civic Planning Association, concerning the wording "thrust
<br />and concept" as pertains to the memorandum of understanding. Councilman Miller felt that the matt
<br />should not be tied down because the project was to be an experimental project. Councilman Parent
<br />made a motion to insert the words "thrust and concept" in Section 1 of the resolution as it per-
<br />tained to the memorandum of understanding, seconded by Councilman Horvath. The motion carried.
<br />Council President Nemeth wondered about the annual contributions contract section of the memo.
<br />Mr. Alles indicated that this was a technical term which would being leasing money into the progra
<br />The money would go to the families and for the administration of the program. Council President
<br />Nemeth asked if the contributions would be coming from HUD, and Mr. Alles indicated that they woul
<br />and that there was no local share involved. Councilman Miller indicated that the project was
<br />considerably different than what the Council is usually involved in. He felt philosophy was being
<br />talked about as concerned providing grants to the lower income families to solve pressing housing
<br />needs. He felt there was great significance in this because it would give money to the people who
<br />have the need. He endorsed the project and felt it was one of the best prepared policy statements
<br />presented to the Council. He also stated that the Committee on Housing had recommended the project
<br />favorably to the Council. Councilman Parent indicated that he also supported the project.
<br />Councilman Parent made a motion that the resolution, as amended, be adopted, seconded by Counci
<br />Taylor. The resolution passed by a roll call vote of nine ayes (Councilmen Serge, Szymkowiak,
<br />Miller, Parent, Taylor, Kopczynski, Horvath, Newburn and Nemeth).
