Councilmember Johnson expressed his concern that $100,000.00 be allocated to relocation expenses for residents displaced by the Code Enforcement program. Councilmember McGuigan indicated the need to allocate funds for mobile home rehabilitation. Councilmember Young noted the need to increase dramatically rehabilitation of single-family dwelling units. Vice Mayor Griset stated he felt that housing development and enterprise functions would require a new type of innovative personnel. The Deputy City Manager of Development indicated that City programs often encouraged other rehabilitation activities which were not included in production figures; thus, a true picture of rehabilitation was not available. The Mayor inquired as to the number of delinquencies and was informed by the Interim Deputy Director that to date, the City had had none, nor had it experienced any foreclosures. Councilmember Young urged City staff to develop a sense of excitement and highly visible projects in housing. Councilmember Bricken indicated that because housing was so widely dispersed, evidence of improvements was often not recognized. He urged that neighborhoods be treated as single entities to effect noticeable major changes. The Mayor requested that the Council be provided with a breakdown of expenditures of CDBG funds by the Exploratory Learning Center for the Kellogg House Improvements.
