He recommended this outlet be approved, subject to these other shops meeting code requirements. Public hearing was opened; there being no testimony, public hearing was closed.

Ms. Smith moved, seconded by Mr. Lieuallen, to forward to OLCC with recommendation for approval, subject to conditions, if any. Roll call vote; motion carried unanimously with Ms. Miller abstaining. IV. NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENT GRANTS PROGRAM (memo distributed) Mr. Henry indicated he had a problem with the wording and he preferred it to say "neighborhood development contracts program." This program is to develop matching proposals to help support projects in neighborhoods that are not eligible for Community Development Block Grant funds. The City would provide 50 percent of the resources with the neighborhood providing the other 50 per- cent. The Community Development Committee is recommending this be included in the Tier 2 budget proposals. This is subject to the review of the Budget . Committee. The total cost would be $50,000, with a match from the neighbor- hood of $50,000 and an additional $15,000 for administration; $65,000 would be placed in Tier 2 to be considered by the Budget Committee. Mr. Henry introduced Chris Hofmann, HCC staff, to provide additional information. Ms. Hofmann stated that this program is outlined in the memo attached to the agenda. It shows the Community Development Block Grant neighborhoods and those neighborhoods which are not eligible for CD funding. This gives an opportunity to those areas which are not eligible. Deirdre Malarkey, 1131 East 20th Avenue, member of the Community Development Committee, stated that the Community Development Block Grant program is a demonstrative program, but many neighborhoods are not eligible for funding. This would give a match of local resources to those neighborhoods not eligible and would encQurage neighborhood involvement. Federal funding may be decreased in the coming years and Eugene may be able to provide some of what would be decreased. Jon Stafford, 1060 Madison, member of the Community Development Committee, stated that this is a way to get some small projects done around the city and it would increase citizen participation. Gary Gillespie, 914 East 18th Avenue, #5, President of South University Neigh- borhood Association, stated that he is representing the Neighborhood Leaders Group. This program would provide resources to those neighborhoods that are . not eligible for CD funding, but some of these resources could also be made available to eligible neighborhoods whose proposals are not approved for CD funding.
