BOOK 94 FACE 573 <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Adams, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Eggert, to adopt <br />Ordinance No. 95-07, a Fair Housing Ordinance, <br />and approve various policies, procedures, and <br />plans related to the Community Development <br />Block Grant application submittal, as <br />recommended. <br />Under discussion, Chairman Macht stated he had a very hard <br />time with the ordinance for all the reasons stated in the hearing <br />as well as others. While he understood the good effects and the <br />importance of doing it, he defined his concerns citing a recent <br />hearing when residents of another area emphasized they could not <br />afford to have water brought to their neighborhood. Now the Board <br />is voting to provide service to another neighborhood without <br />charge, and he believed that was the worst form of discrimination. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED THE QUESTION and it <br />carried unanimously. <br />Commissioner Bird reminded Mr. Clark that, in voting in favor <br />of this ordinance, he was placing a lot of faith in him, his <br />company, and the representations he had made today that this evil <br />they conjured up was not as evil as first thought, and it would go <br />away upon completion of the project and the final signoff. <br />Mr. Clark gave his personal assurances that the Board would be <br />happy with the project. <br />Executive Aide Alice White asked for a clarification of the <br />motion and if it was as amended by Commissioner Bird's request that <br />the program administrator be an Assistant County Attorney. <br />Chairman Macht responded to the affirmative. <br />26 <br />March 14, 1995 <br />
