In answer to Councilman Williams, Assistant Manager said there are no legal barriers' with regard to entering into contract with PAD as it relates to any conflict of - interest. Councilman Hershner asked if residence requirements would be a part of the cri teria I :for eligibility. He was concerned that the assistance offered could attract people ,to the community only to avail themselves to the program. Mrs. Cushman answered : that it was found residency requirements were unconsti tutional when that issue was .raised with the Housing Authority. She wasn't sure whether units could be rented ion a preferential basis to local people, but said that possibility could be explored. . Council woman Beal suggested seeking legal counsel on tha t concern. , . -.. . ,., "-" .. .~.. ," . ~ -.. . ~. - .. _ ..._.___ ________._....c_. w_.__..__.__..___ __,_.__,___.__.__. ,_ Councilman Williams said that if the Council approves the recommendations, then , contracts would be neogtiated by the City Ma::lager in consultation with the Joint ;Housing Committee. Assuming the Housing Committee agrees with terms of the con- ,tracts, he said, other than to report, there is no plan to bring the matter back :to the Council. Mr. Hershner recognized that approval at this time is conceptual; but felt it important that some preference be given local residents. Councilman 'Wood commented that equal housing laws suggest applicants be considered on date or application only. Councilman Williams said the Housing Committee is aware of concerns with regard to eligibility and that he felt they would want to favor local residents. Although he thought there was no way to accomplish preferential Comm ,treatment, he said it could be explored. 10/3/73 . Approve Vote was taken on the motion as stated.
