Gentlemenl
In regard to affordable housing, I have two points I WOuld like to discuss
with you, '
I, Pheasant Ridge (Section 236 project on Hormon Trek Boulevard) Is now
.llglbl. for refinancing or sale to a new owner, .ndlng the commitment to
the subsidies and obligations of the owner to operate the housing under
the program. The 20 year contractual obligation has or Is about to run .
Jut. I understand you have been notified 'of Intent to refinance. The owners
do have an option to continue Nlth the same mortgage and Its contract for
subsidy obligations. HUD (Congress) has some legislation to deter such
refinancing In communities In which the supply of affordable (low and moderate
Income) housing Is In short supply.
If we are really serious about affordable housing, we should be negotiating
for the continuation of the present mortgage and contract obligations and
considering tho acquisition of the housing by the City or a City sponsored
not.for-proflt corporation to buy the property, pursuant to the In.place
federal legislation. I am enclosing an Item from the NAHRD Honltor giving
notice of some new regulations on the legislation. May I suggest that the
planning staff and the housing administrator dig Into this and Issue a
report to the Council on the possibilities.
2. Our present Inventory of City owned publiC housing Is an Important
resource for affordable housing. There seems to be a move betng advocated
to sell these units to the tenants or other qualifying households, I would
like to express opposition to that Idea. The sale of publiC housing has
been advocated by the Reagan and Bush administrations for a decade. At
present HUD Secretary Kemp Is pushing It hard, but Congress Is resisting,
and rightly so. For FY 199a the House ~proprlatlons Subcommittee has
recommended zero funding for the HOPE program part that contains the sale
feature. Why reduce our Inventory at a time at which we are meeting to
address the affordablllty Issue? I am aware that vouchers will be sub-
I~g()
n I I b e
II
ltr, to McDonald and AdkIns
p, Z
stltuted, but these are a Short term commItment (5 yrs.). There has been
a struggl. In lIashlngton to keep enough In the HUD budget to renew those
certificates and vouchers that are runnIng out, Vouchers are far less secure
than agencJ o_ned housing (City). One Idea Is that we US, the money from
the sale to build some new public housing. The ulstlng hOUSing, In all .
probability, will not be sold at Its reproductIon costs, Also the site for
ntN housIng will be less conveniently located for low Income persons.
Home ownerShip for the low Income household can be fraught wIth difficulties
sucn as cash for maIntenance, maybe even taxes. If the City Is serIous about
thIs, I strongly recommend an analysis of _hy this Is under consideration,
other than the reason that the AdmInIstratIon Is pushIng It, for Ideological
reasons, I NOuld suggest.
.
I would appreciate notification of _hen these Items are \0 be discussed
by the Council. I trust you have not already taken action.
Many thanks for your consIderatIon.
Slncer.ly,
lC:rrh

MEMORANDUM
OATEI July 11. 1991
TO: City Council
FROM: NaOll Novick
Because there Nas some confusion at the July 9 Council meeting about
the use of REAP funds for College Green Park, I am sending you the
"rules" from the Natural Resource Commission for the funds dedicated
to city pr9Jects. This project does fit among the variety of uses
meant for these funds. If It were not funded. the reason would not
be that It Is Inappropriate.

In two previous communications with the Council, I have listed several things
I thoullht could be do no to let people know what chemicals are belnll used around
them. I would like to brleny summarize them, .
I. Nelllhbor'. Right to Know,
The city could act u a.wltchboard for people who want to be notlned when
chemicals are llolng to be used In their area. Presently/In order to do thl" a
porson must nrst Ond out the name of each lawn chemical company oporatlnllln
tho area and then contact them at leut once a year,
The city of Wauconda illinois hu had an ordlnllllco like thlsf9r about elaht
yean now !IIId several other cities and counties have followed UlMr example.
A. part of this the City could encouralle the State DeplU'tment of Agriculture
to huten action on Ita new rules concemlnll notlncatlon and postlna,
2. Property History.
The City could re<\ulre that a chemical use history of a preperty be made
available to potential buyers. '
The Wauconda ordinance Includes this possibility, but complete record..hauld
also Include chemicals aplllled by the individual. Tbe reuon for this should be
obvious, Some absolute dlsuters have occurred when people have moved Into a .
houso with certain chemIcal residues In It. The most famou. of these Is probably
the deaths and pennanent disablements due to chlordane residues.
3. Teneta' Rlllht to Know.
Teneta should have the same rlllht to know when chemicals are used on their
lawnsu home owners do when chemicals are used on their nelllhbor'.lawn.
4. Elimination of Chemical Use o~ City Properties,
Sincerely, 1.1 I.. ~. J

D.ar Council Homber.,
A. you mlght remembor I addressod the Clty Council ln April after
my youngor Ion hed boon oxpolod to posticidol whilo playing in his
noi0hborhood. Chomlewn hed appliod postlclde. to several lawn. on
our .troet on a day when .chool wa. not in IOI.lon and tho children
woro homo for tho day. On Hay 30 Quality Caro Co. Iprayed my lawn
with 2,4-D. Thoy had tho corroct houlO numbor but wore on the
wrono .treot. Thi. rOlultod in oxtonsivo damage to variou. flowar
bod., oardon uell, and other vegetation on my proporty. Clo..
perlonal friend. of mine have had thoir lawn treatod twico thi.
yoar by Quality Care Co. without their conlont. It seoml that the
proviou. ownor of the property had contracted for tho service.
In IY opinion all of thelo incidonts are a relult of 3 factorl.
1. Lack of cOlmunication batween lawn care companies and tho
hOloownor.
After a lawn care .ervice hal obtained tho contraat for .
property no ,ub.equont contacts are made prior to each
application of tho .orvica. By not making prior contact
boforo application they are not aware of any Ipecial
circul.tances luch a. no .chool, or new ownerlhip of tho
proplrty. Hy younoer son was home at the tlme 2,4-D wae
applied to our lawn. IIad they knocked on the door he
could have alerted them of their error.
2. Rofu.al of the lawn care industry to conduct their
bu.inoss in a respon.ible manner.
When I contacted Chemlawn to tell them of my concern that
they had applied pelticidel to my neighborhood when the
children were home from school the individual I spoke with
respondod "Hy driver lald thore wero a lot of kids around
and wondorod why thoy woren't in school." Chemlawn wal
awaro of many children boing in the noighborhood but did
nothing in reoponse to this condltion,
When my oldor son contacted Quallty Caro of thsir orror
they adviled him to roentor the recently treatod
environment and hoso it down himsolf, Fortunately, aftor
beginnino tho task ho recoonized the potentlal danger,
cslled thom back and inlisted thnt they doal with tho
problom, Only than did Quslity Care take any
responsibility for a problem that they had created,

MEMORANDUM
Date: July 23, 1991

Re: July 12, 1991 Paychecks
From:
roo-..
\
I
Harlan Km told me that your net pay for the July 12, 1991 payrollwlS
lower than your previous net pay. The reason for the change Is based on
new IRS regulations that went Into effect July I, 1991, as they pertain
to Social Security. Public employers must either cover employees under
a retirement plan or Social Security. Since you are not covered under
a separate retirement plan, your Soctal Security deduction wont up to
the full 7,651 from Just the Hedlcald rate of 1.451,
Please call me at 356-5052 If you have any questions.
