railroad tracks from RM -12 to RS -8 and from RM -44 to RS -8.

sociation to rezone approximately
of north of s Marietta t of extended Woodside easterly Drive tot
he
a CRI &P
railroad tracks from RM -12 to RS -8 and from RM -44 to RS -8.

westerly tract south and east of University Heights be
rezoned from RM -12 to RS -8, the Melrose Lake area remain
RM -12, and the RM -44 area along Oakcrest be rezoned to
RNC -20. A memo is included in the agenda packet outlining

c. Consider an ordinance to vacate the north alley of Block 4,
Lyon's First Addition. (V-8405) (first consideration)
Comment: On December 26, 1973, the City deeded the "platted
alley in Block 4, Lyon's First Addition" to Capitol Implement

deed does not specify the northern alley of Block 4 as the
alley purchased nor is there a record that this north alley j
was ever vacated. A corrective ordinance is necessary to

ITEM NO. 10 - RECOMMENDATIONS OF BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS.
a. Consider recommendations of Committee on Community Needs:
(1) CCN recommends that the City Council contact legislators
to assure that Federal programs, including the Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, will not be cut.
A memo from Mickey Lauria, CCN Chairperson, regarding
the Administration's proposed Federal program cuts is
included in the Council packet.
(2) CCN recommends to the Council that $60,000 in 1984
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds allocated
to Congregate Housing be reverted to CCN. Please refer
to the comment in Recommendation (3).
(3) CCN recommends to Council that $50,000 of the '1984
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds be
allocated to MECCA, with the remaining $10,000 going to
the Contingency fund, keeping in mind the Ralston Creek
clean-up project. The Committee is concerned about the
lack of progress in the Congregate Housing project and
the Congregate Housing funding being held up which could
be used for other worthwhile projects. The minutes of
the January 15, 1985, CCN meeting provide further
explanation of this recommendation and are included in
the Council packet.

ITEM NO. 11 - CONSIDER A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF A ME ORANDUM
OF AGREEMENT WITH SOUTHGATE DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, INC.
p _ Comment: Southgate Development Company has requested that the
Ij5 3J City consider the issuance of $1,000,000 in Industrial Revenue
Bonds to finance the renovation and rehabilitation of the
building at 325 East Washington Street. A memo from the Finance
Director summarizes the results of staff's review of the
application. The City is engaged in discussions with Southgate
Development Company to determine if a long-term lease of the
building for City office use could be developed as a favorable
alternative to new construction on the Civic Center site. If
such a proposal is possible, it may be more advantageous to use
financing other than Industrial Revenue Bonds. However, as the
adoption of this initial resolution does not preclude considera-
tion of other financing alternatives, approval of the resolution
is recommended at this time.
