Minutes reviewed and approved. , '---' 3. Senior Planner, Jeff Pruitt, gave an update on the Comprehensive Plan effort currently in process. Much effort has gone into research and into community meetings. This effort involves looking at what resources are available to cover the' community needs and how these resources are integrated into capital projects planning. 76% of the housing in the City has.been built since 1960. 12% of the housing is over 30 years old. The mos t densely populated neighborhood in the City is North Greenwood. Growth of the City has slo~ed dramatically since 1984. The Committee appreciated Jeff Pruitt's report. . ..-..... 4.

The letter to the City Commision requesting response on the job being done by the Neighborhood Ad visory Comm! t tee was dis cussed. No response has been received. '. 6. The Committee expressed concern about the need to keep the City Housing Rehabilitation Program going smoothly. There is a strong communi ty need for housing rehabilitation. The over $100,000 in funds remaining from last year has meant that needed additional housing rehabilitation has had to ~ai t. When the Housing Counselor position was vacated, the position should not have been left open for months. It should be permanently filled immediately. 7. The Economic Development Loan Program was discussed. The Clearwater Neighborhood Housing Services (CNHS) Economic Development Program is being strengthened by the addition of a new loan program which can provide for loans up to possibly $50,000. Just making small loans may be get ting people into trouble. Policy for the new loan program is now being developed by CNHS. ) \..-I' ;:r~ '::'; ".~:~.;~~. /. ..'

Conce rn was expressed about the lack of serious Police Department attention to the drug problem in North Greenwood and in South Greenwood. Police ask for lends on drug denIers, but do not seem to take action. This is getting increasingly serious. Poll ce are polite, but should do more action. Drug dealers are 'operating on the streets in broad day light, also in the, parks, and at convenience stores. 10. Next meeting will be January 10, 1989. 11.
