Mr. Pompel of the Parks Department quoted School District 4-J Superintendent Payzant, saying "it is hard to sail a ship with two captains." Mr. Payzant had felt it would be best for one body to be responsible for administration with direction given by the other. Mr. Pompel stated there was even a school district recommendation that the ultimate decision-making body for policy - formulation be the School Board, with consent of the City of Eugene. The advisory committee felt that approach weakened the City's position and suggested it read, " the School Board and the City of Eugenfi". It would then give . . . both agencies equal strength in deciding what the programs would be, leaving the administration to the school district. Mr. Bradley felt, however, that, since the Council has no authority over the School District, the wording should be changed as suggested above. Mr. Williams' only concern would be that, if Council is dissatisfied with some segment of the program, they would know who to look to if administered by only one body. Mrs. Shirey, on the other hand, felt that the City Manager should be included as it would be a good link if the Council needed to touch base on any issue involved with the program. Mr. Murray moved seconded by Mrs. Beal to adopt the School District 4-J and City of Eugene Policy Statement on Community Schools with one change COlPm as noted. Motion carried unanimously. approve .._-~_.~----_.. -- '1-1-19-75 O. Recommendation of Housing and Community Development Corrunission on Revenue Sharing for Rehabilitation Hardship Fund On October 2 the HCDC recommended money be allocated to aid special hardship , cases for tenants affected by rehabilitation. As Mrs. Niven explained, one real ,problem existing with respect to urban renewal has been that programs for community benefit have often decreased the supply of housing for those with limited incomes. In setting the rehabilitation program in motion, there was concern about falling into this same trap again. In that regard, it was suggested that, in the instance of renters who by virtue of rehabilitation e have a portion of their rent increased to a point where it becomes more than , 35% of their income, the City might pick up the difference for two years while helping to get those affected on a proper list for obtaining some sort of subsidized housing. If the amount of rent should ~ncrease but in an amount less than 35%, the Corrunission proposes that nothing be done. The program would stipulate, too, that the investor sets limits on the amount of rent increase. Mr. Bradley wondered about source of revenue for the program. Mrs. Niven explained it would come from the $150,000 set aside from revenue sharing for housing assistance. This is the first proposed use of that money and only $25,000 is being requested. Mr. Murray moved seconded by Mrs. Beal to accept the recommendation of Comm the Housing and Community Development Corrunission to use revenue sharing approve funds for rehabilitation hardship cases. Motion carried unanimOusly. 11-19-75 D.Petition - Sanitary Sewer to Serve Carlile Estates Subdivision - The property to be assessed is totally within the subdivision.
