coordinate with the two elements in the process of preparation currently
(Population/Economic Base and Land Use). These elements were listed in
our last application for funding this year.
The proposed planning program will be performed, in general, by thE~ city
planning staff. A professional planning consultant, possessing expertise
in housing and transportation plans, will be retained to generally guide
and direct the project and to perform the final analysis.
The proposed program would be divided into the following work elements;
Housing Element - A plan will be prepared to illustrate Salina's
housing needs and guide its housing growth through the year 2000.
The plan will specifically set forth estimates of housing needs
to accomodate growth and replacement. The plan will note the needs
of low/moderate income persons, mi nori ty persons and the ownel"/renter
mix. Specific estimates will be made regarding the need for sub-
sidized housing.

2. What conditions exist in the community or county that indicate a need for the
proposed project (provide statistical documentation)?
The City is utilizing an outdated and uncoordinated comprehensive plan to guide
development. There is a definite need to update this plan.
There has never been a complete and comprehensive examination of the housing
situation in Salina. Through the study of housing within the City the housing
and choice of housing should be increased for the poor, minorities and disad-
vantaged.
Increasing emphasis is being placed on transportation both in the nation as a.
whole and within Salina. At public hearings held by the City, the general public
is becoming increasingly vocal in their support for an examination of the trans-
portation problems in Salina. This examination should include both the'conven-
tional automobile and alternate methods (mass transit, bicycles, pedestrian
traffic, etc.).
