Safran stated in part that he has operated his own business for the past six years - specializing in the field of government assisted housing for predominately senior citizens. Prior to that time he worked for the Department of Housing and Urban Development. He noted some projects which he has completed. Mr. Safran then outlined the latest status in the field of assisted housing in terms of what funds are available along with the size of the project with respect to Section 8 of the Federal Housing Act of 1974. This is the only rental assistance program available to a private sponsor. The current income limits for one person is about $4,500 and the average rent for that person would be $125 .. the market rate rent for a one bedroom unit is $378 and the difference is the subsidy paid by the government. I The operation of the units was explored in detail. He suggested that what should be considered at this time by the City Council would be a 75 to 150 unit three story wood frame building with either full or partial subterranean parking .., to go higher would get into a much more expensive type of construction and HUD has mandated conserv- ing the cost of the program. Potential sites were submitted - first would be on the northeast corner of Alta and First Avenues. One of the negative problems for that site would be the lack of shopping facilities - second would be west of Hinshaws (Duarte Road and Baldwin Avenue) and is surrounded by shopping centers. Another site could be on Naomi between Baldwin and Lovell and one in the redevelopment area. Various methods of funding were also submitted by Mr. Safran including the possibility of placing the matter of housing on a forthcoming election - April 8, June 3 ... the measure could read perhaps as "shall private sponsors be authorized to develop, ronstruct and acquire up to 150 units of rental housing for elderly and handicapped of low and moderate incomes with Federal, State and/or local financial systems. " Legislation in this regard was discussed. It was the consensus of the City Council that many ramifications must be taken into account before it could move ahead as Mr. Safran suggested; however strong interest was indicated and it was MOVED by Councilman Gilb, seconded by Councilman Pellegrino that the City Council go on record as supporting the concept of bringing up to 150 units for senior citizen housing into the City; that further study be made with proper wording developed toward the possibility of placing the matter on the June 3 ballot. Councilman Saelid stated in part that he could not support this unless it goes to a vote of the people ... they are entitled to have their say. AYES NOES ABSENT: Councilmen Gilb, Parry, Pellegrino, Saelid, Margett None None John Joseph, 408 N. First Avenue, expressed disappointment that the Cityl Council did not take action at this meeting to place the matter on the ballot in April. He was reminded that there will be an election in June. The City Council recognized the concerns of Mr. Joseph and submitted that it wants whatever is decided to be a success. At 7 p.m. the meeting adjourned to 7 p.m. February 5 in the Conference Room. ~Aj /i ~:rr Mayor i4e7k~ 1-24-80
