A LETTER was received from the Urban Renewal Agency asking that the
City request HUD to: (1) extend the NDP project expiration date to January 1, 197
and (2) retain the NDP capital grant fund until an amendatory application can be
f i I ed.
Mr. Dick Worth and Mr. Harold Eagleton were present. Mr. Eagleton
explained, "Up until the last few weeks, it has been told to us that HUD would
discontinue all Urban Renewal projects as of June 30, 1974; however, we have
received communications, letterwise and phone calls, that this is being extended
until January 1975. Under the extensions, the way we understand it, we are
asking that the City send a letter to HUD requesting that the money they had for
us be set aside so that we can send an amendatory application for extension.
This money is not an obligation on the city part until we fill out the applicatio ,
from the agency point of view we would like to see the city do this so that the
funds that are available could be used within the Neighborhood Development Project."
Commissioner Losik asked, "Harold, the obligation on that would be the
25% as far as the city once approves it, isn't it?"
Mr. Eagleton replied, "Yes, Mike; however, what I meant by that though
is that this letter does not say that we will get the funds, but if the City
does not send the letter then we will not get the funds. After the City sends
a letter then we will find out what the amendatory application is and then we
will know at that point. At that point is when the City really officially
obligates it."
Mayor Usher said, "Eventually we would have to decide about the 25/."
A motion was made by Commissioner Caldwell, seconded by Commissioner
Cooper to accept the Urban Renewal's letter of request to notify HUD. Ayes: (5).
Nays: (0). Motion carried.
A MOTION was made by Commissioner Caldwell, seconded by Commissioner
Cooper that the Regular Meeting of the Board of Commissioners be adjourned.
Ayes: (5). Nays: (0). Motion carried.
