Hugh Kincaid reported that land acquisition was held up pending
receipt of abstracts on Coulter and Southern Memorial Assn.and
on release of mortgages on school property.
The chairman stated that the board was not ready to take action
on the personnel policy and it was deferred until next meeting.
At the request of the Executive Director the Commissioners
considered the possibility and feasibility of retaining and re-
modeling the Lincoln school on site"B" to f.house a central office,
maintenance shop for the Authority's use and provide community
services space for a day care center, adequate facilities for
homemaking and recreation and other services for the community.
It was first estimated that, for the cost of the space allowable
under the present development program, this building,which would
afford twice the space, could be rehabilited for the same amount.
After lengthy discussion and on the advice of the architects it
appeared doubtful that this:could be done for the money available,
plus the fact that it would still be an old building.
Gerald Fox,City Manager, recommended that the Authority consider
joint financing with the city and apply for assistance through
the Neighborhood Facilities Section of URA.
Mr. Douglas moved that the Authority accept this recommendation
and to-gether with the city explore the necessary action to be
taken. Seconded by Mr. Shelton and motion carried unanimously.
There being no further business the meeting adjourned by motion of
Mr. Douglas, seconded by Mr. Gould and motion carried.
