<br />Member of the Common Council
<br />A public hearing was held on the resolution at this time. Mr. Charles Lennon, Director of the
<br />Department of Redevelopment, explained that the E -3 area is commonly referred to as the Northeast
<br />Side. The project itself was a $431,000 project, and a resolution was passed in 1971 stating that
<br />the city would share in the cost of the project - -a one -third share. He stated that the last relo-
<br />cation payment had been received in the amount of $70,000, and this was a strictly reimbursable
<br />type of item. Authorization was needed from the Council to sign the $70,000 contract. Councilman
<br />Miller questioned the original material presented to the Council. Mr. Lennon stated that the city'
<br />one -third share was $245,480 of which the city has already paid $176,314 from the CCIF Fund. That
<br />leaves $69,166 that the city must come up with and cannot use federal revenue sharing funds.
<br />Councilman Miller referred to Mr. Lennon's letter to Mr. Elder in 1974, and wondered why there was
<br />an overrun on the relocation items. Mr. Lennon indicated that the original costs used were merely
<br />estimates and there were additional families that were not included in the estimates. He stated
<br />that the relocation must be completed according to state law. Councilman Miller wondered on what
<br />basis the families were relocated, and Mr. Lennon stated that families were relocated if the homes
<br />were substandard and could not be brought up to standard. Councilman Miller wondered if the projec
<br />could have been ended earlier in order to avoid the overrun. Mr. Lennon stated that the local
<br />officials were not able to make that decision. Councilman Miller stated that the code enforcement
<br />project was a project administered by a department that did not come under the control of the city.
<br />Mr. Lennon stated that the Department of Redevelopment was authorized to proceed with site improve-
<br />ment work and the city was to share the cost of the project. He indicated that the project had
<br />been approved by the city. Councilman Miller felt this was good planning; however, the decisions
<br />were made outside the Council's jurisdiction. Councilman Parent disagreed with Councilman Miller.
<br />He stated that the decisions were made prior to the present Council taking office.
<br />Councilman Parent made a motion that
<br />The resolution was adopted by a roll
