A letter from Meardon will be in 7/20 packet. New legislation was discussed re use of tax- exempt bonds. The bid document is being reviewed by Zuchelli. 6. Dietz advised that even if the new owner of the Grell property in the Tanglewood/Ventura, 79 St. Improvement Project, objected to the assessment, there would not be 75% objections to the amount of the proposed assessments, which would require an unanimous vote on the Res. of Necessity by Council. However, it will require a 3/4 vote by Council (6). So far there are 3 objections (51%). Neuhauser stated that Council should make a decision on what to do for that area. 7. Regarding the new housing proposal, Seydel advised that if the property on Muscatine for 40 units (Lee) was, approved by HUD, we'd be in good shape for these proposed 20 units of public housing.

Engberg pointed out the uses of the various areas, noting that the auditorium and toilet facilities can be left open for public use, with the rest of the building secured. The pilings have not been designed for a third floor, costs would be more than $100,000, and need for additional space downtown has already been discussed by the Board. The TV area can be open, but secure from the rest of the building. The roof has been designed with a slope,with drains to carry the water away, and there is a 10 -year warranty.

Della Grizel pointed out that area residents did not want the Seventh Ave. route paired with the Hawkeye Apt. route, questioning if they would get dependable service. Mose replied that a seven -minute layover at Summit/ Washington was designed into the schedule to provide extra time for the Hawkeye route, if it is needed. Grizel asked that the Towncrest/N. Dodge pair be kept so that elderly residents can go to the grocery store. (SEATS costs 81.) She stated that people are concerned with amount of publicity given to these changes, indicating that it was not adequate. Berlin requested that Council make the decision so maps can be made. Vevera advised he was against making changes, as the rates had not been raised. deProsse was against the fare increase, suggesting that the Federal government should subsidize mass transit. As Council does not vote on changes, the Mayor noted that basically the majority of Council - members acceptsthe changes. Berlin will direct Mose to get the maps printed, and get as much information out as possible. Ms. Grizel was thanked for her input and letters. EXECUTIVE SESSION ES Tape 15, Side 1, 212-700.
