Utak labormaillemilitse A Appeals Mod .l 70.140 Cite oil "apart ib 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. l'<"/1 (11 2 r Te L.
