Action: � ITEM NO. 17 - RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING APPLICATION FOR 25 FAMILY UNITS UNDER THE SECTION 8 EXISTING HOUSING PROGRAM AND REQUESTING FUNDS. Comment: The Department of Housing and Urban Development, on November 8, 1984, published a Notice that applications to administer a Section 8 Existing Housing Program would be accepted until January 18, 1985. Due to the limited number of units available (300), a maximum number that any one Housing Authority may request has been limited to 25 units. The Iowa City Housing Authority currently administers a Section 8 Existing Housing Certificate Program and, if selected, this will result in an increase of approximately $108,060 per year for two years in our Consolidated Annual Contributions Contract. This amount is computed on the basis of requesting ten one -bedroom units, ten two-bedroom units and five three-bedroom units. These numbers correspond to the need as established by our waiting list. Because it is anticipated that more units will be placedrequested aan are lottery available pos'sibleacceptable fundling. Therefore,vill it is essential that this application be submitted as soon as practi- cal to ensure that it is acceptable before the deadline.

The Voucher Program is similar to the Section 8 Existing Certificate D 5a Program that the Housing Authority now administers. A Voucher Program will require a separate Annual Contributions Contract, which will be approximately $60,984 per year, for five years, separate accounting and budgeting. In that it is anticipated that all Section 8 units will eventually be converted to Vouchers, it is recommended that we apply for these 14 units and establish required finance and accounting records. The Housing Commission recommends submission of this request for 14 units. A memo from the Housing Coordinator explaining the Program is included in the Council's packet.

From that point west to the western city limits the speed limit is 50 miles an hour. The proposed ordinance amendment would eliminate the 50 mile an hour speed limit on the western portion of Melrose Avenue and cause the speed limit for Melrose Avenue to be 35 miles per hour from George Street west to the western city limits.
