MHRC Monthly lneeting-?-8/ 2/7 2
HRA: Ted will muster resources necessary to get a presentation
together for our September 5th meeting. He wil I invite HUDreps as resource and also someone from a local HRA communi ty forfirsthand look at advantages and/or pitfal ls of a HRA. 0urCouncil has expressed an interest in HRA i nformation and specifi-cally requested MHRC involvement in this area. Council will beinvited to the meeting. Planning Commission will also be notified.
Discussion: Since MHRC sowed the hous i ng s eed, we have been di rectedto look into all facets of subsidized housing, including
HRA, and directed to give recommendations and comments on 235 or 236proposals submitted to the Counci l. 0nce the groundwork has beenwell laid a housing steering committee should be appointed allowingthe Commission to retire from the housing scene. The topic is toobroad, important, basic and time consuming(and will prove to be moreso in the future)to aliow for part time attention. As housing takesalI our time and attenti on, we become in essence a "housing"
commission rather than a "human relationsrr commission. The proper
time for a steering committee will present itself in the not toodistant future. In the meanwhile we will continue to do our best.
Forest Green: Paul Lowrey wi I I draft and submi t to Don Ashworth,for inclusion in Council mailings prior to either
