In 1973,' the Council was faced with the increasing deficit. About ,this
time,, federal_ general revenue sharing %-Is available. The Council strongly de-
bated the feasibility of using the new federal money to make up a transit deficit.
Although fiscal authorities within the city argued strenuously that it was unsound
economic policy to use revenue sharing funds to meet reoccurring operating expenses,
the Council reluctantly allocated these funds. This past year urban again the

RE: Project IA 22-2, Elderly Housing
The :sequential steps in the processing of Project 22-2 from
this--date _through initial occupancy are as follows:
A. Large Scale Residential Plan (LSRD).
) Municipal code requires the submission for approval
(1 of
(1a Large Scale Residential Development Plan. This
is to be submitted by the developer..to Planning and
Zoning Commission. There, is no reason to believe that
old Capitol _could not submit their plan by
(2) 'Upon receipt the Planning Staff will be required
to review and write a study and recommendation._ The plan
could be placed on the agenda for Planning and Zoning
meeting scheduled -for July 10, 1975.
(3)-Staff--.and-Planning and Zoning recommendation could
be placed.on Council agenda for Tuesday, July 15, 1975.
B. site and Market Analysis. (SAMA)
(1) For projects to befinanced with a HUD insured
mortgage the developer is
required to submit a SAMA
application to FHA. The developer'has indicated that.

will be required to seek an alternate means. The writer
is-confident FHA will provide priority processing

developers apply for Building Permits. An important and
pace setting factor is the development of the detailed

International Institute of= Municipal Clerks Conference
700 'clerks were welcomed by Governor of. Colorado, _
Richard Lamm, although he was busy :because 'of a riot at =
the penitentiary.- He stated that municipal -officials
are the glue that holds the -government together. The
Keynote Address was given by Dr. Frank. Court of Denver
who advised if the clerks _did not take home -a thing from-
the Conference, just being away from -the crunch of city
government should give some serenity so we could go back
and cope. Ilecommentedthat what sets people apart are
those -willing to go the 'second mile' Life makes us
do certain things, the first mile; but when you are free
to make a choice, that is the second mile. `And if 'life
goes sour, thank God for large garbage cans. Junk the
'sour' and start ;over. He advised of the need for inner -
security, faith and dreams, suggesting you are old only
if your dreams are all re -runs. (He was 83.and spoke for
45 minutes without notes.)
I attended the Monday morning session 'Women's Role
in Local Government' instead of 'Labor Relations:: The
speaker was Mary Buchanan, Secretary of State, Colorado,
Who pointed out that women have 35 years or so after mother-
hood to develop or continue a career, and to apply mother/
family skills to a career, as they also include manage-
mentm
of time and communication:
The afternoon session was 'All That You Wanted to Know
About: Records Management`But Were Afraid to Ask'.The
expert was Katherine Aschner, Director of Records-Manage-
aent Division, Uational' Archives and Records Services,
General Services Administration, Washington, D.C.
Tacoma, Washington used revenue sharing money to
set up their records management -system, $35;000, and hired
2_", persons to operate it, $25,000 a year. IG in-

Clearinghouse, Functional Reports and Published Reports';

Ment a sophisticated system for larger cities.
The second afternoon -session was Council Minutes and
Agenda Preparation. One idea presented was the Consent
Calendar which was used by about 1/2 -of the -cities repre-
_-sented'. All routine, non -controversial items are listed
at the beginning' -of the agenda - minutes,- Council and
Board & Commission; bills, City Manager and City Attorney
reports; some resolutions(accepting;'secoers,--streets,' etc.)
motionstoreceive and-file.correspondence;_::beer & liquor
" and cigarette permits; appointments. These are adopted by
one motion, one vote, after the Mayor has inquired if
any Councilmember or cit:i.zen wants to .discuos,`any of the
items. Any question on bills, awards,of-contrac,ts,_or_nin-
utes corrections are investigated by Councilmembers before
the meeting.,One Council had routinely adopted up to 100

items in this manner. Council can adopt thisprocedure•
by a_Ilolicy statement.
In other cities, the tentative agenda was sent with
a Consent Calendar; the cut-off day for agenda items was
Wednesday the:agenda-was sent Thursday;. and Council removed
items -from the Consen t_Calendar by; Friday. Final agenda
was Monday, meeting Tuesday.
- Citizen participation was usually limited to five
minutes; scheduled oral presentations were listed on
public discussion cardapplicationforms turned into
the Clerk before the meeting started - then handed to the
Mayor to call on in the order he wished. Anyone not
filling, out the application card waited until the end of
the meeting for unscheduled oral discussion. If someone
needed more than five minutes they _could note this on
the card.
`Tueday's meetings were on Effective Communications -
'The Key to_P_ublic Understanding'. The panel=
started
discussion 46 methods of communication were given(list
attached). Then they asked for workable ideas used by
others. The ideas_ presented were:--
1)
erer1) Youth Government Day - participants are given'
certificates
2) for larger cities; -Hot Line for immediate com-
plaint service -;-some use 24-hour recording devices,
although, some citizens just 'do nor know which'
department handles what they wish to complain
about.
3) Free Notary Service provided by the City.

5) Veterans Commissions:- free copying of papers
for veterans.

construction is scheduled under Schedule D of the contract. Thus, the
deposit would not be returned in pro rata portions. and would be held by
the City until development on the last parcel is underway.' However,
you will note that subsection d makes reference to Section 702 of Part II
of the contract.:
Section 702 of Part Il of the contract, as modified in Part I of the
contract, provides in pertinent part as follows:
In the event that (b) the redeveloper -shall, --after
preparation of construction plans for -any parcel
satisfactory to the Agency, -furnish evidence -
satisfactory to the Agency, that it has been unable,
after and despite diligent effort for a period of 60
days; after approval by the Agency, of the parcel
`construction `plans, ,to_obtain mortgage financing
for the construction of the improvements on any
such parcel on a basis and on terms that would
generally be considered satisfactory by .builders
or contractors for improvements of the nature and
type provided in such parcel construction plans,
and the redeveloper shall, after having submitted
such evidence -and if so requested by the Agency,
continue to make diligent effort to obtain such
financing fora period of 60 days after such
"request, but without success, then the agreement
shall, at the option of the redeveloper, be termi-
nated by written notice thereof to the Agency as
to such parcel or part thereof, and the redeveloper
shall be entitled to a return of a pro rata portion
of the `deposit and neither the Agency nor the
redeveloper shall have any further rights against
or liability; to the other under the agreement as ,to
: such parcel or part thereof provided that the
redeveloper shall immediately reconvey the parcels
involved to the Agency -free of all liens and the
Agency shall return the purchase_ price.
To summarize the language of Section 702, if the redeveloper has
:prepared construction plans and they have been approved by the City,
and then the redeveloper ,is unable to obtain' mortgage financing after
diligent effort of a type that would be considered generally satisfactory,
