RESOLUTION
WHEREAS: There is a critical shortage of low-income housing in Salt Lake City,
and;
WHEREAS: The State should be promoting preservation of existing low-income
housing units rather than demolition, and;
WHEREAS: The tenants of Whitmore Court Apartments have requested that they be
allowed to stay there until alternative housing is available, mainly
the Multi-Ethnic Center which is scheduled for completion in
January, 1981.
THEREFORE: The City Council hereby resolves:
(1) The State Retirement Board and the Governor should maintain
the Whitmore Court Apartments as housing for the low income
until such time as the Multi-Ethnic Center units are available,
or until the Whitmore property is absolutely needed for
Salt Palace expansion.
(2) The Salt Lake City Council is in support of maintaining
existing low-income housing until it is actually required for
other purposes, and requests that the Governor should adopt
a similar policy.
(3) The City will examine the possibility of purchasing or leasing
the Whitmore Court properties from the Retirement Board in
order to preserve the existing 38 units for low-income housing
which is in critically short supply.
(4) We believe that the entire Board should consider using funds
to preserve existing low-income housing units, and provide
for the building of new low-income housing units rather than
demolish existing units.
