e e e opportunity for a City committee to study those issues. She said the CDC/JHC has made some modifications to the composition of the interim CDC--to have two members from each of the JHC and the CDC and to eliminate the representative from the Joint Parks Committee. The other members of the committee would be as reflected in the January 11, 1984, EDD memorandum. The committee suggested that members of the CDC or JHC fi 11 any vac'anci es that cannot be fi 11 ed from the other committees. She said one additional recommendation was that the committee should report to the council within eight months on their recommendations for the new CDC, allowing another four months for the committee to rework the report if necessary. Mr. Obie said he feels that the outcome of the interim committee will be important to the City Council and will set the role of the new CDC and the impact of those funds on the community. Therefore, he proposed that the interim committee be composed of two members of the City Council, one member from the Planning Commission, two members each from the CDC and the JHC, one member from the Downtown Commission, and one member from the Neighborhood Leaders Committee. He said the other position could be used as an ex officio or advisory member. Ms. Schue said the composition of the committee was left flexible because there might be some overlap in committee representation. She said she has no problem with Mr. Obie's suggestion. Mr. Obie said he felt it is important to have representation from the DTC and the Neighborhood Leaders. In response to a question, Mr. Obie said that any additional members would be at the discretion of the interim committee. Ms. Schue said it was her understanding that the CDC/JHC would not meet again and that the new committee would be constituted by the council. Mr. Holmer said he had sat in on some of the initial discussions of the CDC/JHC as an alternate member of the CDC. He said he was not a party to the detailed discussion on the interim committee composition due to his participation in the Community Goals Conference. He agreed with the recommendation by Mr. Obie. He said the interim committee will, in effect, be the CDC and the JHC as stipulated in Article II of the bylaws if they are approved by the council. Ms. Schue said the document suggests appointment by the Mayor but added that interested individuals will make recommendations to the Mayor. Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Ms. Wooten, to adopt the recommenda- tions relative to the merging of the Community Development and Joint Housing Committees with the membership to be composed as follows: two City Councilors; one Planning Commissioner; one Neighborhood Leader; two Community Development Committee members; two Joint Housing Committee members; and one Downtown Commissioner.
