OCT 2 21990 803 45 PAGE 96 COMMISSIONER LYONS REPORTED THAT THERE WAS A MEETING OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE; THIS PROJECT WAS DIS— CUSSED; AND THEIR RECOMMENDATION WAS TO CONTINUE TO TRY TO GET THIS PROJECT APPROVED AND FUNDED. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT ASKED IF ANYONE PRESENT WISHED TO BE HEARD. A. GROVER FLETCHER OF ROSELAND COMMENTED THAT A STATEMENT HAS BEEN MADE THAT AVAILABLE FUNDING MAY VARY, AND THERE IS NO GUAR— ANTY OF FUNDING. HE ASKED IF ANY PRIORITY HAS BEEN SET AS TO WHICH ITEMS WILL BE FUNDED FIRST. COMMISSIONER LYONS WAS NOT SURE THAT WAS ADDRESSED IN THE COMMITTEE. HE STATED THAT THEY INITIALLY FELT THAT THEY WERE LOOKING AT A PROJECT AS SUCH AND DIVIDING IT INTO A THREE YEAR PROGRAM; HE DID NOT FEEL THEY ANTICIPATED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE LESS THAN THE PROJECT INVOLVED. COMMISSIONER WODTKE LEFT THE MEETING TEMPORARILY AT 5:45 O'CLOCK P.M. MR. FLETCHER NOTED THAT 14% OF THE BUDGET DEALS WITH ADMINIS— TRATION AND PLANNING, AND WAS CONCERNED THAT IF, FOR INSTANCE, WE ONLY RECEIVED 14% FUNDING, WHETHER ONLY ADMINISTRATION WOULD BE FUNDED. COMMISSIONER LYONS BELIEVED IT WOULD BE OBVIOUS WE WOULD NOT SPEND THE 14% ON ADMINISTRATIONIAND HE FELT REHABILITATION IS THE FIRST PRIORITY. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR REGAN EXPLAINED THAT UNDER THE THREE YEAR PROGRAM, AS IT IS BROKEN DOWN, THEY WOULD START FROM BARBER AVENUE WORKING NORTH AND GO AS FAR AS FEASIBLE SO THAT IF THE FUNDING WAS DISCONTINUED FOR ANY YEAR, WE WOULD HAVE ACCOMPLISHED WHAT WAS POSSIBLE IN A GIVEN AREA. COMMISSIONER Loy POINTED OUT THAT WE ARE FOLLOWING THE GUIDELINES THAT HAVE BEEN SENT DOWN TO US; WE WERE INFORMED THAT WE WOULD BE BETTER OFF TO HAVE JUST A ONE SECTION PROJECT AND THAT THE PROJECT SHOULD ENCOMPASS ALL OF THE THINGS SET OUT IN THE APPLICATION. WE ARE TRYING TO WORK WITHIN THE FRAME OF WHAT WAS SENT TO US. we
