The Committee first heard a presentation from Rev. Larry Fryer of the New Hope Community Center, Inc. regarding the problem of renovating and/or demolishing delapidated houses in the area. He stated that many citizens in the community would support the demolition of such homes to improve conditions in that area. Mr. Beard: I move we receive this as information. Mr. Chairman: Second. I Motion adopted unanimously. A request to approve the reprogramming of $30,000 in 1997 (CDBG) funds and designate the funds for the New Hope Community Center Project, was read. Mr. Beard: I so move. Mr. Chairman: Second. Motion adopted unanimously. A request to approve resolution authorizing the submission of the Year 2000- 2004 Consolidated Plan and Year 2000 Action Plan, was read. A request to approve Final Version of Year 2000-2004 Consolidated Plan and Year 2000 Action Plan for Community Development Block Grant, Emergency Shelter Grant and HOME Investment Partnership funds, was read. After a short discussion, Mr. Beard: I so move. Mr. Shepard: Second. I Motion adopted unanimously. j A request to approve an Ordinance providing for the demolition of a certain unsafe and uninhabitable property in the South Richmond Neighborhood: 3858 Crest Drive, (District 6, Super District 10) and waive 2nd reading, was read. I Mr. Beard: I so move. Mr. Shepard: Second. Motion adopted unanimously. A request to approve ANIC contract and reprogram $1,000,000.00 in CDBG funds for use by Aj~IC to revitalize targeted low to moderate income communities. (Recommended by Citizens Committee), was read. Mr. Shepard: We mav not have an appropriate quorum to consider this. Do we want to discuss it or receive it as information? Mr. Oliver: It's up to you. We just wanted to get the document out there for discussion so that everyone would have ample time to review it. There have been varying opinions as to which geographic area this should incorporate and that should be a policy decision for the Mayor and Commission to make because you will be focusing resources into whichever areas you designate. The contract essentially calls for 100 units to be done through either rehabilitation or new construction. Ai'lIC would be paid $100,000 up front on a reimbursement basis and then the remaining amount would be paid on an as-completed basis with part towards administration and part towards what I call the hard-dollar cost. This appears to be the only issue that remains to be resolved. I Mr. Beard: [think that perhaps we should discuss this further. Mr. Shepard: Then I might suggest we allow this to remain on our agenda and make it the first item in the next meeting of this Committee. It was the consensus of the Committee that this be considered at the next Committee meeting. A request to consider upgrading the Lieutenant position to Captain position and create new Office Manager position for the Marshal's Department. Also accept the State Grant in the amount of $20,000, was read. Mr. Oliver: What is the justification for the Captain's position? Mr. Smith: We wanted a position of authority to coordinate with the field inspectors and their field managers with EPD. If the funding for these positions goes away, then the positions would either be eliminated or the personnel would return to their original duties. I I Mr. Oliver: The Operations Manager position is inconsistent with our current pay policy, and we think the Administrative Assistant position would be a good classification rather than Operations Manager. After further discussion, Mr. Beard: I'm not totally clear on this. Mr. Oliver: Would you like us to take it back and work with the Marshal and try to get it delineated better? Mr. Shepard: What if we held it for one Committee meeting and let you, Mr. Etheridge and the Marshal get together on it? Mr. Beard: I'll so move. Mr. Shepard: I'll second that motion. Motion adopted unanimously. ADJOURNMENT: There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. I Nancy W. Morawski Deputy Clerk of Commission NWM ..
