Macht <br />Chairman <br />COMMUNIEY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT <br />Community Development Director Robert Keating recapped that <br />back in December the Board authorized public works and community <br />development staff to apply for a CDBG neighborhood revitalization <br />grant for the Colored School Subdivision and Whitfield Subdivision <br />target areas. The Board also authorized staff to initiate the <br />process to select a consultant to prepare the CDBG application and <br />administer the grant. In addition, the Board committed budgeted <br />petition paving funds to be used as a match for the grant. The <br />purpose of the $750,000 block grant is to provide road improvements <br />and water installation to the two Wabasso subdivisions. The <br />consultants were selected and two weeks ago the Board was advised <br />that in order to receive this grant, the Board must adopt a fair <br />housing ordinance and several policies and procedures. Those items <br />will be considered at public hearings scheduled for March 14 and <br />March 21. <br />Commissioner Eggert asked how this would affect the 55 or <br />older restriction exemption in housing, and Commissioner Bird <br />explained that is the reason he brought the matter up today - to <br />talk about it prior to the public hearing on the fair housing <br />ordinance. He has received many calls from people concerned about <br />the County passing an ordinance superseding the 55 and over <br />exemption. He assumed that the Attorney's Office would have <br />researched the 55 restriction thoroughly before public hearing. <br />22 <br />March 7, 1995 <br />
