Mr. Beard: I think we have been criticized for inactivity in the area of housing development. I am also concerned with the fayade program, emergency rehab and the paint program. I Mr. Mack: Regarding the housing program, we have provided down payment assistance for homebuyers and assisted in rehabilitating houses. We have the World Changers project coming in next month to work in the Bethlehem area. Hopefully we can use the $723,000 with the Mayor's project he is proposing for the Laney Walker area. We have done some work both in emergency rehab and the paint program, but we have people who have declined to participate for one reason or another. There are some fayade projects that will be forthcoming but we have not received good applicants for the loan program at times due to failure to meet eligibility requirements.

Mr. Beard: I'm concerned about the role of the EEO Officer and her reporting responsibility and I think this needs to be discussed. I'm going to suggest that we talk about this at the retreat on the 4th. I believe some things need to be worked out and after that is done, then we can approve the policy. And I'll make a motion that we approve the policy after we've had time to discuss the activities at the retreat. Mr. Powell: Second. Mr. Shepard: I'll make a substitute motion to go ahead and approve the policy. Motion dies for lack of a second. Motion adopted with Mr. Shepard voting "No".
