The purpose of the workshop was to go over a proposal given to
the Commission by Mr. Marant, Assistant to the City Manager,
basically for a form of low-income housing for the City and
possibly the creation of a Housing Authority. Mr. Walden,
Attorney and representative for Mr. Milton Rosen spoke to the
Commission. Mr. Rosen, a principal of a corporation that would
build the project was also present . Mr. Walden presented the
Commission with a petition signed by more than twenty-five
residents of the City in favor or the Housing Authority. The
Commission listened to comments by Mr. Kurt Ely, member of the
i Citizen' s Coalition Committee. Mrs. Peterman asked if the
Authority was set up would they have to accept this proposal?
Chester Byrd spoke to the Commission saying he had not heard
anything favorable about the project and had seen many projects
fail, but he was in favor of the Housing Authority. Boisy Waiters
said that possibly other projects may have failed, but it did
not mean that Dania' s would. Several other people were also heard.
The Mayor said he would like to see a special meeting called
for Tuesday, October 19th to settle this matter, as the City's
representatives were to attend a CCC meeting on Wednesday.
