08/27/1991 - Minutes Community Development Advisory Committee Minutes August 27, 1991 In attendance: Curley Jones, Rawlins Young, Ranae Pierce, Marion Willey, Addi YoSoy, Nancy Harrison, Nancy Saxton, and Wallace Goates . Guests: Monica Whalen Pace. Staff : Stephanie Harpst, Sherrie Hansen and Bob Buchanan. Excused: Rosemarie Rendon and Patrick Johnson. Marion called the meeting to order at 5:45 p.m. He introduced Monica Whalen Pace who would be observing this meeting as a possible candidate for CDAC and he introduced new CDAC member Wallace Goates. Marion suggested that all members and staff quickly introduce themselves to the group. Bob Buchanan presented updated information on the City purchasing the Sugarhouse Post Office with a Section 108 Loan. He reported that since the appraisal of the building, the initial purchase price had been modified to an estimated amount of $250,000, with an additional $200,0000 needed for immediate rehab. It is estimated that over the next 5 years $300,000 would be needed for additional rehab and several hundred thousand dollars may be required for tenant improvements . He stated, he had investigated whether lease payments would be enough to repay the loan, but because of the increased costs, it did not seem probable. Other monies would be needed to repay the loan. He told CDAC that because of these new developments he did not know if the City would purchase the building, however, he will inform CDAC as information becomes available. Stephanie then discussed the Fall meeting schedule. She explained to new CDAC members that 5 meetings are held with Community Councils to present project proposals effecting each neighborhood. She also explained the General Needs Hearing that CDAC holds with the Mayor. This is a public hearing where citizens are given a chance to express their neighborhoods needs . See attachment A. A subcommittee of Ranae, Rawlins, Marion and Addie was formed to meet on August 29 to set the Fall schedule for Neighborhood meetings . Rawlins suggested that this year the General Needs Hearing be held in October rather than in January as in previous years . When the Hearing is held in January, people are more inclined to lobby for their project proposals rather than the general public expressing the needs of their neighborhoods. Stephanie said she would check on the Mayors schedule. Marion moved to approve the minutes from the meeting held on August 6, Ranae 2nd. Motion passed. Rawlins moved to postpone elections until the Month of October, Nancy 2nd. Motion passed. CDAC tentatively scheduled their next meeting for September 26 . Meeting was adjourned at 7 : 30 p.m. tachment A August 27 , 1991 TO: CDAC FROM: Sherrie Hansen Last year CDAC held 5 Fall meetings with Community Councils and a General Needs Hearing with the Mayor, to listen to CDBG proposals effecting their neighborhoods . These meetings gave Citizens a chance to know and participate in activities proposed for their area and helped the City in meeting HUD citizen participation requirements . Does CDAC feel that this is a good format to hear CDBG project proposals? Do you want to continue neighborhood meetings and a general needs hearing with the Mayor?
