L. Baxter, Ellis Shelton, J. W. Gould, Hal Douglas and J. E. Pomfret. Others Present: City Manager Gerald Fox, Ernest E. Jacks, Warren Segraves and J. A. Vizzier. The meeting was called to order by Chairman L. L. Baxter. A report was made on the three preferred sites and three alternate sites for public housing which have been selected by the architects and the Director of the Housing Authority. One site is for 120 elderly units and two sites are for regular units of 40 each. The first site for regular housing is the Lincoln School property which covers about six acres. The second site for regular housing is four and one-half acres between • Lewis, Mitchell and Stone Streets. The third site is for elderly units and it is located on the old junior high school site, plus one-half block west of the junior high site, one-half block east of the junior high site, and one full block north of the junior high site. This area is about eight acres. The three alternate sites selected are: about four and one-half acres bounded by Main, Lewis, Nettleship and Cross Streets for regular housing; five acres at the intersection of Gregg and Spruce Streets for regular housing; and about eight acres bounded by Block, Stone, Rock and Locust Streets for elderly housing. These sites will have to be submitted to the Public Housing Administration along with utilities information, a map of public facilities and other site data. The site on Gregg Street will have to change from R -IB to R-2 zoning to allow duplexes if it is selected. After the architects discussed the various sites with the Housing Authority, a motion was made by J. E. Pomfret and seconded by Ellis Shelton that the preferred sites and the three alternate sites by approved and submitted to the Public Housing Adminis- tration. The motion was passed unanimously. J. A. Vizzier pointed out that the Public Housing Administra- tion would allow payment for a director, clerical help, and 00 Page 42 • and a bookkeeper at a maximum of $800 per month (or $4 per unit) until the development program is completed. Hal Douglas made a motion that the Housing Authority vote to retain J. A. Vizzier for this work at this salary until notified otherwise. The motion was seconded by J. E. Pomfret and was passed unanimously. J. A. Vizzier explained that the urban renewal law has been changed to allow credit for certain facilities such as city halls, court houses and auditoriums. He suggested that the application for the General Neighborhood Renewal Plan Funds and the Survey and Planning Funds for the downtown urban renewal project be changed to take advantage of these amendments in the law. After some discussion, the boundaries of the General Neighborhood Renewal Plan application were set as the railroad spur on the west, approximately one-half block north of Dickson Street on the north, approximately one-half block of Fletcher Street on the east, and approximately one-half block south of Seventh Street on the south. The area was changed from approxi- mately 70 acres to almost 700 acres. Mr. Vizzier also suggested that the boundaries of the urban renewal project be changed from six blocks covering 15 acres to 16 blocks covering about 70 acres. The change in area also requires a change in the amount y_ of money to be applied for. The estimated cost of the General1.4,"� �8 Neighborhood Renewal Plan was changed from $55,836 to $94,815. The application for Survey and Planning Funds was changed from • $110,704 to $182,844. Proposed credits for the local share of matching money in the urban renewal project are a county courthouse and jail, a new city hall, an auditorium, two parking garages, and a number of minor improvements. A resolution was introduced making these changes in the application for General Neighborhood Renewal Plan Funds. Hal Douglas moved that the resolution be adopted and J. E. Pomfret seconded the motion. The motion to adopt Resolution 1-67 was passed unanimously.
