Commissioner Scurlock inquired if the buildings to be <br />rehabilitated are brought up to standard and inspected, and this <br />was confirmed. Commissioner Scurlock stated that he also would <br />like the Community Development group to look at whether the <br />County should take a more aggressive role in bringing <br />sub -standard housing up to County Code. He noted that there has <br />been a lot of discussion that if we do take an aggressive <br />approach, we, in fact, remove inventory, and that a house, no <br />matter what the condition it might be in, is better than no <br />house. He, however, was concerned that we may have been taking <br />the wrong approach and instead should be extremely aggressive <br />about removing units that are substandard and forcing the issue. <br />He felt we could condemn buildings that were vacated rather than <br />put people out on the streets. <br />Director Regan agreed that he would take this to the <br />Advisory Committee for study. He informed the Board that they <br />have a pilot program where they have done rehabilitation in <br />specific areas. This pilot program just involves health and <br />safety improvements (plumbing, wiring, etc.); no cosmetics are <br />allowed. Mr. Regan felt it might be possible to expand slightly <br />on this program for which the FHA provides the funds. <br />REZONING - .64 ACRES TO C-2 (SARKEES) S.
