VI. CONDOMINIUM CONVERSION STUDY--WORK PLAN PRESENTATION (Material Distributed) e The study plan, said the Manager, is based on the assumption that the Council, or a subcommittee of the Council, will be the group guiding this study and will be, in effect, the task force. Mr. Obie returned. Manager outlined the work plan as presented in the December 4 memo. He noted that the cost of the work plan would range from $30-40,000, including a full-time project director, and two full-time persons for staff support to meet the short time frame. Because of the budgetary crisis, existing staff from Planning and HCC will be used, and there will be work slippage in those departments, due to the priority of the condominium conversion moratorium work. Mr. Delay said he hoped that first priority would be given to discussion of condo conversions as they relate to new construction. Mr. Farah, Planner, feels the task force should be careful not to take any hasty actions that they may want to reverse as they get more information. "- Mr. Haws returned. Mr. Lieuallen said he would favor other members on the task force, rather than the entire Council being the task force. There is so much expertise and energy in the community that it would be a shame to waste it. He also .does not feel the Councilors necessarily know the most about the issue. Mr. Farah said that the Council is at a certain point at this time, and it e would require community members to be brought to that point as well. Also, if there is a large task force, it would become rather cumbersome and they would have to report back to the Council in any event. Staff would suggest that the most expedient method would be at least a subcom- mittee of the Council. Mr. Obie and Mrs. Smith both favored the subcom- mittee structure. Mr. Lieuallen reiterated that he would like the community involved as much as possible. Mr. Keller said that it would be well to invite people to testify on a given date. Mr. Keller recommended that Mrs. Schue, Mrs. Smith, and Mr. Delay serve. Mr. Lieuallen moved, seconded by Mrs. Smith, to approve the appointments as recommended by Mayor Keller, and directed the subcommittee to involve the community as much as possible. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Delay moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, to approve the work program as outlined by staff. Motion carried unanimously. Upon motion duly made, seconded and passed, the meeting was adjourned to December 10, 1979. 4' ~)~ Charles 1. Henry City Manage r DP:al/CM26b1 12/5/79--7 folfb
