Mr. Bu rns stated that the new rules and regulations were b e ing wri tt e n int o the Federal law as a result of a recent act by Congress. The United States Department of Housing and Urban Develo pmen t (HUD) had asked the Housing Authority to hold up th eir invi t a t ion t o bid in anticipation of the new rules and re gulat ion s . The Housing Authority was continuing to pursue the pu r c ha se of a site for this 100 units of elderly housing. The in i t i al finan cial figures show that a subsidy of $175 per month per apar tm ent from HUD might not be enough to get this p r oject o f f the g round. The Housing Authority was going ahead with the land pu r c hase and a bid invitation despite current ind ic a tio n s . The land cost would be approximately $200,000 and the Hou si ng Authority would probably ask City Council to help sha r e in this to th e t une of $50,000 to $100,000. The Housing Autho r ity was cu rr e n t ly analyzing the situation between location of the 100 units i n one location or two. Councilman Blessing stated that he appreciated the time and e x pense invol ved in this pr o ject and hoped that it would p r oceed further . Mr. Burns stated thet the Housing Authority may need to go to Was hington in order to get things moving a little raste r. The Ass is t ant Director of Community Development for Housing, Lois Koc ian, stated that HUD in Washington was looking for any feedback conc erning the gran t subsidy and its inadequacy to p r ope r ty fund p rojects. * * * * * Mr . Will Howard, JlJO So. Corona Street, was present to discuss manpower in t he Eng l ewood Fire Department. eeting or Sep t embe r J , 1 974 J Mr . Howard stated that he was extremely concerned about the lack of manpo we r in the department. The 1975 proposed budget was woeful ly la c king in priorities of firefighting manpower. He said that it was h ard to become enthusiastic about golf courses and tennis courts wh e n t he safety of the people was at stake. Mr. Howard p r oposed t ha t lJ men be hired at the present time and an additional lJ in 1 975. He felt that Englewood was substantially below the most len ient standard. The proposed budget and the final one were dolla r ex pressions of priorities of this City Council. He felt that the l a t itude should be in the Council to make these decisions and not i n the City officers. He felt that the recreational nee d s of t he City were not as acute as they once were and that priori t ies should now be given to firefighting. He further stated tha t t he volunt e ers in the City were not meant to supplant the nee d for additional paid men. Councilm an Blessing expressed concern about the over- zealousness of some of Mr. Howard's remarks. He felt that the City Counc i l was ext remely concerned about the firefighting situation and woul d t ake a good look at it in the near future. Co uncilman Cl ayton stated that the third penny of sales tax was e arma r ked for capital improvements and could not be utilized for operating and main t enan c e costs. Additionally, he stated that he bad nothing aga ins t a ppeals for additional fire fighters on a humanitarian viewp oi nt, bu t that it could not be justified on insurance savings. Chief Hamilton of the Englewood Fire Department and Chief Miller of th e Englewood Volunteer Fire Department appeared befo r e Council to discuss the report from the Volunteer Fire Depa r tment Commi t te e. Chief Ham il t on gave a report of the manpower needs of the City and the volunt eers supplement on top of the minimum needs. Chief Mi l ler sta t ed that the committee had forecast a bare bones budget and no t dreams in excess of the bare necessities. He stated that in Augus t of 1970 the volunteers had been prevented from furth er recruit ing so that their number had gone from JO down to 9. He f elt that t he minimum number of manpower as indicated in the memorandum was ne ce s sary before volunteers could be supplemented on top of that. Councilman Sovern stated that many requests had been made in the past f or a dditional firefighters; however, priorities have not been put in tha t particular direction. He felt that a first resp o nse to h azards which have been invited into the City in the past must be possible. The Volunteer Fire Department should not be used as a crut ch, but rather as a supplement to the overall program . The volunt e e rs in this case would serve as the fourth man I I I I Meeting or September 3, 1974 4 on the rig at the scene, while three individuals would always be riding on the trucks.

Sherman, stated that if the City Council could find $165,000 to purchase the station, then it shouldn't take long to find money for manpower.
