Mayor Denny questioned �he December 31st deadline, and Lyle Stewart i reported that the people who are administering the program are urging � Hold Harmless cities to file by December 31. The term "Hold Harmless" t ' was defined as a guarantee of funds, �and the amount of funds to be re- ceived by any city is determined by the Federal programs such city has , participated in. If the application is filed by December 31 , a city may request a 10% advance, prior to final approval of the application. A 75 day period is allowed for HUD to approve the application, which would mean that, unless the application is disapproved, a letter of credit would , be forthcorning by April 1 . A. city may request that funding start on July 1 to coincicle with fiscal budgetirig but would have'the 10% advance to work with in the interim. Funds granted for each year must be committed within the year. Council was furnished with 'a list of eligible and ineligible projects which were discussed. Lyle Stewart emphasized that, although the program leans towards improved housing for persons of low and moderate incomes, it does not rule out projects that would provide jobs and training for such persons. Ben Harris advised Council that it will be necessary to amend the Housing Element of the General Plan prior to filing a formal appl�ication under this Act, � ; Council was shown a�critical path chart which illustrates the steps which must be taken prior to submission of the application, in order to comply with the criteria set �forth under the A.ct. It is proposed that public input as to projects to be considered be received from citizens of Redding and submitted to a Citizens Advisory Committee, said Committee to be appointed by the Mayor and to be composed of 21-23 citizens representing � all segments of the c'ommunity. The Citizens A.dvisory Committee will ' then develop goals and objectives , based on citizen and staff input, and submit recommendations to a Community Development Advisory Com- mission. The CDAC' will synthesize data received from the Citizens Advisory Committee�and staff and submit a proposal to Council, based on needs and resourees available. It is proposed that the CoxYUYiunity Development A.dvisory Comxnissiori be comprised of three members of the Planning Commission, two members of the Redding Redevelopment Agency, two members� of the Parks and Recreation Commission, and two members of the Citizens A.dvisory Committee. There was discussion as to the make-up of+this Commission, and the following suggestions were made: 1) That the Planning Comxnission be represented by only two members and the Citizens Advisory Committee representation be in- creased to three; 2) That the Committee number be increased to eleven, with the two additional members to be from the Citizens Advis.ory Committee; 3) That this be an Ad Hoc Committee, with rnembership as proposed, to serve until the application is filed.
