e (0478) e (0544) . and if there was to be a change in that respect it would have to go back to the Planning Commission as a major change in the project. The window accents and shutters, he said, were submitted as part of the plan also. They probably would not add anything of a significant structural advantage, their inclusion would probably be a ~atter of judgment in the structural element of the project. On questioning from ~1anager, Ed Smith, parks director, said he knew of nothing about alternatives to the swimming pool nor did anyone else concerned with the project. COn Allen, public works director, asked that the requirement for remedial work on the sanitary sewer system not be removed from the list of conditions, saying his department had not been furnished any information from a registered civil engineer. He explained that the lines were not functioning properly, there was surcharge from the manholes on the project itself, and until public owkrs saw the data referred to they would not want the required remedial work removed as a condition of completion. Manager added that with regard to the swimming pool it would appear the developer s~ould present any alternative proposal to the Planning Commission as soon as possible so he would know whether it could be completed within the six-month enforcement period. Mr. Murray moved seconded by Mr. Hamel to proceed with enforcement action to assure compliance with the contractual provisions of the Echo Hollow West PUD as listed in the February 11, 1975 planning department memo. In response to Councilman Haws, Stan Long, assistant city attorney, said this action would not fall under Fasano regulations. Vote was taken on the motion as stated. Motion carried unanimously. Manager noted that a resolution spelling out specific work to be completed ln line with action taken would be brought for adoption at the March 24, 1975 Council meeting. C. Community Development Application Manager explained that the Community Development Task Force, chaired by Council- man Murray, had developed over the last three months an application to HUDin- dicating distribution of money Eugene would receive from hIock grant funds. The distribution was based on the assumption (1) that the city ~ould receive only $422,000 as its basic entitlement, and (2) that because of inequities in the distribution formula HUD would grant discretionary funds under the hardship regulations that would bring the city's entitlement to its normal level of about $1,300,000 over the next three-year period. Councilman Murray described the process of preparing the application, leaning heavily on community goals statements in order to meet the needs that could be addressed through this means - social services, housing conditions, traffic patterns, etc. The process involved neighborhood groups and interested citi- zens through a ballot cistributed throughout the community. Major emphasis was placed on the needs of the central city neighborhoods. Task Force analysis showed those areas had the greatest needs that could be addressed through the communi ty development process. I-Ie noted that al though the needs as usual far outstripped the avai lab1e dollars, the Task Force was pleased with the results of its work and felt the recommendations presented were a significant beginning step toward tackling some of the problems which had been postponed for several years. /07 3/10/75 - 3
