She challenged the Council that she would like to see various.letters from HUD AND other agencies to see if Pasoo was in complete compliance with Federal regulations. Mr. Russell Wiseman suggested that wording in grant refer to "retired" and not just elderly and handicapped. He felt there were.mahy who -were retired but didn't consider themselves elderly yet. Mr. Sheeley asked what reasonable administrative costs were? Mr. Jacobson replied that there was no definition for "reasonable." Mr. Webster -Jackson stated that under Federal programs, whatever the going rate is, HUD felt it was reasonable. Mr. Bud Smith, 328 W. Bonneville, called attention to the fact that res6dents of the downtown area had been assessed for the C.B.D. project, and now that more funds were being earmarked for C.B.D., "does this mean we are going to get a reduction on our assessment;"or a bigger downtown improvement?" The reply was negative. Mr. Sheeley asked, "can these funds be used to subsidize an L.I.D., more particularly, in the areas where residents are living on fixed incomes?" Mr. Jacobson.replied that possibly a method could be.worked out to essentially do that. Mr. Snider asked if these funds -.could be used to ease the "crunch" on.new.bridge. Mr. Jacobson replied, "not under,Federal;aregul'ations." Mrs. Mary Oversby, representing Pasco'"s."older" citizens, read the following statement: "The senior citizens are in desperate need of a hew building. In the last nine months, 72 people have taken advantage of the Columbia Basin College sewing classes that..I,_...i.nstruct. I have been teaching at the Senior Citizen Center for 4 years and have-had.about 280 students in that length of time. The seniors need more space -- sometimes there are three functions going at one time; recently, we were pushed to.the back of.the auditorium while a rummage sale was going on in...th:e same -"room. One instructor can't have classes this summer because there -is no--room.-available-, so the "older youngsters" will have to give up a project they love to do. The seniors are giving up a lot of activities because "no room available - no room at the inn." ,_,a•• Mr. Luzell Johnson made an appeal on behalf of the new Neighborhood Facility - it needs ceiling, landscaping and floor in gym. Mr. Sid Davidson noticed that CBD had first priority for money. He asked the City Manager how much money had been spent, -to date, on C.B:D. Staff will prepare this. Mrs. Kathryn Smith requested that next public hearing on Community Development Block Grant funds be held in one of the target areas of -which -East Pasco is the largest. Mr. 5chuelein asked about Housing Assistance Funds admin istered by HUD.
