January 6, 1987 TO: MAYOR MERCER cc: Councilmembers FROM: COUNCILMEMBER WILSON SUBJECT: Senior Citizen Housing Project In November of 1986, the Council received a letter from the Citizens Advisory Committee for the Senior Citizen Housing Proj- ect offering their continued service now that the design of the project had been approved. You then appointed me as Council liaison to the Committee and asked me to meet with representa- tives of the Committee and to make a recommendation on how the different responsibilities might be divided now that we are pre- paring to enter the construction phase. I met with Bill Herlihy and Bill Jamieson, and spoke by telephone to Art Dunkley, representatives of the Committee, to discuss how the Committee might stay involved and continue to advise the Council on the project. Representatives of the Committee and I agreed that there are certain technical responsibilities related to financing and constructing the project that should be carried out by the City staff now that the major planning and design had been completed. However, the Committee and I also agreed that the Citizens Committee can continue to provide valuable advice related to interior design and furnishings, rate structure and management of the housing project. Therefore, I would like to recommend that the Citizens Advisory Committee to the Senior Citizen Housing Project be charged with the following: 1. To continue to advise the Council on matters related to the interior design and furnishing of the project. 2. To provide information and advice to the City Council on the rent structure of the project. 3. To provide information and advice to the City Council in development of a management policy and philosophy for the project. I would recommend that the City staff be instructed to proceed with the following items related to the Senior Citizen Housing Project: 1. Develop and recommend a financing program to the City Council.
