"....-- Zl e 1/26/70 ! Dr. Purdy asked that the Authority activate the present request. Mrs. Niven pointed out that the Joint Housing Committee is composed of representatives frmm the Council, Planning Commission, Home Builders and Housing Authority. Dr. Purdy said he would like a Council committee to investigate the conflicting statements and report to the Council. I Mr. Mohr asked to divide the motion, whcih was agreed to by Dr. purdy. This would amend the main motion to reduce the number of Turnkey units to 200 and actlvate the 100 unit request on file at Lane County Housing Authority. Mr. George Keating asked to comment on the unfulfill~d leased housing request. One pur~ose of leased housing was to create scatteration of low income people. This makes leased housing more expensive to build, since it cannot be multiple. Mrs. Niven explained that it was not the intent of the Joint Housing Committee that the entire 300 units of Turnkey be built on one site. The intent would not be mo~e than 24 units on one site. Economically, it could not be held to single-family. Mayor Anderson commented that the Joint Housing Committee resolution set forth goals, not only more units for more people, but better housing for more people, particularly those on the low end of the' economic scale. The people of Eugene have certain responsibilities to people less fortunate. Mayor Anderson felt the contribution of the private sector had been tremendous, and that Mr. Schmaedick's work in particular had been outstanding. e Vote taken on amendment.
