The Committee first considered approval of a policy against
workplace violence.
Mr. Etheridge:
care of a situation
recommend approval.
This gives our departments a means to take
if any type of situation arises and I
Mr. Oliver: It outlines who should be called in this
building if a situation arises where security is needed.
Mr. Shepard: I move approval.
Mr. Chairman: I second it.
Motion adopted unanimously.
An Ordinance providing for the demolition of certain unsafe
and uninhabitable properties in the Laney-Walker Neighborhood:
1246 Pine Street, 1010 Ninth Street, 932 Miller Street, 1107
Dugas Street and 912 Barnes street, was read.

accomplish these demolitions.
After a short discussion, Mr. Shepard: I move approval.
Mr. Beard: Second.
Mr. Chairman: There are some structures out in the Laney
Walker area which are in very bad shape and really safety
hazards, so I would appreciate it if you would look at that and
see if the demolitions could proceed on some of those in that
area.
Mr. Wall: I will check on it or ask Harry to check it.
After further discussion, the motion was adopted
unanimously.
Mr. Todd: with our high unemployment in this community and
the number of socioeconomically disadvantaged citizens we have, I I"
think the former city applied to be designated as an enterprise
zone. I'd like to recommend to the Committee that we look at
authorizing our staff to put together the package that was
previously done by the city and work from that.
Mr. Oliver: I can ask Mr. DeCamp to come in two weeks to
discuss that, if he's the appropriate person.
Mr. Chairman: They also would have that from CD.
The Committee had a short discussion regarding the homeless
situation in the community and the Chairman announced that
community Development Week would take place in April and that
activities will be held in that regard.
ADJOURNMENT: There being no further business, the meeting
was adjourned.
