Director of Economic & Community Development Costello stated that the Council at previous meetings had expressed concern about neighborhoods in the City that were showing evidence of decline. She stated that Council was interested in playing a role in the pre- servation of those neighborhoods, and the staff report set out a procedure which needed Council feedback. She stated that there already were a lot of programs in the City, such as through the Police Department, Park & Recreation, and in Capital Improvements that had an impact on neighorhoods. She stated that staff felt that what was lacking was a vehicle for identifying and coordinating these programs to identify and address in a comprehensive manner the needs of specific neighborhoods which are in danger of declining. Discussion followed: that the target area had to include other areas, i.e., Railroad, Chestnut and Baden; that all these things are in place now and were not working; wanted new ideas, such as buying run down homes, fixing them up and selling them; rather see a focus on indi- vidual neighborhoods and a one month time frame rather than an eight month time frame; that Hillside was also blighted and should be added to the target area; adding A, B and C Streets and Francisco Terrace; requiring a 3R report at the time of sale plus an inspection; looking at youth summer employment to clean up weeds and debris, etc. 5/16/90 Page 2 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN 3.
