<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Minutes, Joint Public Hearing and Regular Meeting <br />April 1, 1981, Page 10 <br /> <br />Askins: Do you have your chart on that? <br /> <br />Waters: I have the chart and the list in my office. <br /> <br />Pena: Half of these people got a notice. We got together <br />and talked about this. <br /> <br />Meza: Does anyone have a question while Betty is gone? <br /> <br />Tomerlin: Would the opposition be the same if the opposite <br />end of the property were to be utilized? <br /> <br />Pena: Yes, sir, for the simple reason we feel we have too <br />many of the elderly in the streets. It poses a problem with <br />our kids playing out there. There has been a serious fatality <br />within the very grounds of the present facility; you know, people <br />drowning themselves and such, and here we are wanting to bring <br />in more of them. They are going to have to have tighter con- <br />trol; this new facility is completely separated from the main <br />facility. <br /> <br />Cline: You make it sound like you don't even want the senior <br />citizens living down there now. <br /> <br />Pena: It's not that; it's just that they need to control them. <br />If they were going to build single structures, we might look <br />at it different. <br /> <br />Tomerlin: Mr. Neal, on the property we are talking about, will <br />the entry be on Park or away from the present facility? <br /> <br />Carter: Parkway. <br /> <br />Tomerlin: The entrance would be off of Parkway and the area <br />between the proposed building and the present facility would <br />remain park. <br /> <br />Neal: I think there is something we should bring out here, <br />that is, that the people who will live in this complex will be <br />people who are completely capable of caring for themselves. <br />They must maintain their own apartments, they must do their <br />own shopping, they are people who are on social security, <br />people who are tired of mowing the grass, and needing a new <br />roof. We have 500 people on the waiting list who would like <br />or who need a place to live such as these facilities. They <br />are not people who need constant supervision or medical care. <br />The 202 project must be administered through a non-profit <br />organization such as the Harbor. It is a direct loan by HUD <br />
