<br />DD., :Councilman McDonald was welcomed home from a trip to Central and South AIiler i ca.
<br />He commented briefly on ci ties visited in those areas.
<br />
<br />EE. ,Housing Code Inspection - Councilman Murray referred to a joint meeting of Council;
<br />'members and officials of the Associated Students of the University of Oregon at
<br />'which the subject of housing enforcement was discussed. Mr. Murray expressed"con-,
<br />: cern about the inference at that meeting that the City deliberately does not e.lJ'":f''-
<br />; force the housing code in maintaining existing buildings because an active inspec-:
<br />'tion program would adversely affect the housing supply. He said he concluded ' ,
<br />, '
<br />from discussions on use of revenue sharing funds that lack of funds was the' ,>,
<br />reason for not carrying on an active inspection program. He wondered whether <.,<,,',:,.,:,':',:,',',,1,
<br />there would be another opportunity to discuss this item.
<br />
<br />, ,
<br />
<br />~Manager said there is no deliberate policy not to do housing inspection, rather
<br />'it is lack of staff to maintain an inspection program on a 10-year cycle which
<br />is the minimum, on which such a program should be based. Assistant Manager added
<br />,that inspections are also made on a compla,int basis. If a rigorous program is
<br />initiated before adequate replacement housing is provided rent costs would be
<br />forced up; an effort is being made to increase low-income housing in Eugene at
<br />'this time. He added that there is a proposal in the revenue sharing package
<br />to start a rental unit enforcement program, so there will be an opportunity to
<br />discuss the matter during the budgeting process.
<br />
<br />.Councilman Williams referred to previous policy set by the Council to limit code/!'
<br />:enforcement except in transi tional areas on the basis that it would remove hous-
<br />ing from the market. Manager said that action was in response to costly repair
<br />,requests; the City does not ignore unhealthy or unsafe conditions. It was under-
<br />'stood a copy of minutes showing the Council 's previous action would be sent to
<br />: Mr. Murray.
<br />

<br />
<br />FF.fFederal and State Grants - Councilman Murray referred to a news article with regard!
<br />,to grant received by the City for detoxification center at the jail and expansion .,.
<br />'of the police program in the schools and wondered about the policy for request-
<br />:ing such grants since this one seemed to be on a departmental basis. Assistant
<br />,Manager replied that the particular item referred to was not a grant. The Law
<br />'Enforcement Council has 'approved in an overall program a detoxification center
<br />'at the jail which means application can be made for grant funds. It is now' a ,.,
<br />:matter 9fdeciding in the 1973-74 budget process whether the City wishes to pro- .,
<br />'vide matching funds, and in that process the Ci ty Council will have opportunity
<br />for discussion. Mr. Murray said he was particularly interested in the police
<br />;shool program. Mr. Wood asked whether this request would go through LCOG and
<br />'was told it would, but the Council would deal with it where it involves City
<br />participation.
