e Com 4/27/77 Approve Com 4/27/77 VI. Approve --~ e Mr. Keller then asked what requirements or techniques were used for determining if the work had been done properly. Mr. Chenkin replied that the allocation of funds was done only upon completion of the work, and that the work was thoroughly inspected to make sure it met the criteria set by the Historic Review Board. Mr. Hamel moved seconded by Mr. Williams to accept the 1975-76 Historic Review Board fiscal assistance recommendation. Motion carried unanimously. V. Skyline Park Property--Memo and map distributed to Council. Manager noted this gift of approximately 3.5 acres from Skyline Park Water Company via Nature Conservancy and resulted from the dissolution of the water district in the area. Mr. Hamel moved seconded by Mr. Willaims to accept and approve the gift and express appreciation. Motion carried unanimously. ~ousing and Community Development Committee--Memo distributed to Council. Manager noted that the Housing and Community Development Commission at its April 5 meeting made the following recommendation to the City Council: That the City Council approve recommendation of a task force to disband the Housing and Community Development Commission and take the necessary steps to reorganize the Commission into two separate committees--accept the Housing and Community Commissions recommendation for a seven member Community Development Committee and five member Joint Housing Committee. Charles Kupper, HCC, explained this decision had been under discussion for quite some time as a result of the shared concern in the duplication of effort and responsibilities. The finding of the task force was that the Joint Housing Committee and the Community Development Committee functions could be separated very clearly into two separate committees. He noted there had been a difference of opinion regarding membership on the committees, that a suggestion had been made that the twelve member committee be split up into two committees with six members each. However it was determined that the Community Development Committee would be dealing with large sums of money and therefore the decision was made to make it a seven-member committee and the other five members to be on the Joint Housing Committee. He noted the group was asking Council approval for code revisions and authority for the change. Mr. Greg Lipton noted the concept was a very good idea and he requested the lines of responsibility be very well spelled out. Mr. Williams asked Mr. Delay to speak to the issue of the split of the five-seven members on the two committees. Mr. Delay said he had no strong feelings either way and was inclined to support the recommendation. Mr. Obie expressed a concern regarding the committee makeup and noted a legitimate question as to whether a Council member should be a member of either committee. Mr. Delay replied he felt it was very important for the City Council to be represented in order to report back to Council in an in- depth manner with background information. 310 5/9/77--15
