e CDC considered a program that would assist low-income individuals in buying and renting homes. That issue will be further examined next year. During the third year, CDC will continue to examine accessibility issues and allocation to human service agencies. Mr. Vanlandingham said that last year Ms. Ehrman replaced Mr. Boles as City Council representative on CDC. Kerin Hoag was appointed to replace Carol Rucker as the low-income representative, and Kevin Hayden was appointed to replace Grisel Maria as the low-income tenant advocate. Mr. Vanlandingham said that the plan requested for adoption is the same as the Three-Year Plan, except for the following changes: $50,000 has been added in administrative funds to run the HOME Program (the new Federal program for affordable housing); $64,000 has been added to the nonprofit capital projects category in response to the council's request to move the Relief Nursery project from year three to year two; and $16,000 was added for overall admin- istrative costs. The added expenses were covered by the plan's reserve and an increase in the annual grant amount. e Mr. MacDonald commended the CDC, especially for the work it has done with the nonprofit capital projects program. He expressed concern about using reserve funding for other projects and the lack of funding flexibility that may re- sult. Mr. Vanlandingham agreed, but added that during the third year, the reserve will be re-established at its planned level. Mr. Boles and Mr. MacDonald expressed a preference for more funding being used for rehabilitation of existing facilities rather than for acquisition of new ones. Ms. Dawson said that during the third year, more money will be allocat- ed to rehabilitation. Mr. Green moved, seconded by Ms. Bascom, to approve the use of $2,091,000 in CDBG funds in 1992-93. The motion passed unani- mously, 7:0. Mr. Green moved, seconded by Ms. Bascom, to approve the use of $15,000 in 1990-91 CDBG funds for accessible playground equip- ment to be located at Westmoreland School. The motion passed unanimously, 7:0. Mr. Green moved, seconded by Ms. Bascom, to adopt Resolution No. 4330--a resolution adopting a Residential Antidisplacement and Relocation Assistance Plan for the City of Eugene. Mr. Boles stated that the replacement housing applies only to low- or moder- ate-income individuals and is limited to a period of three years. He said that this actually does result in displacement, but that it is simply spread out over three years. He wondered whether replacement housing would have to be on the same piece of property. Mr. Vanlandingham said that it did not. The motion passed unanimously, 7:0. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council 11:30 a.m. May 27, 1992 Page 6
