Motion was seconded by Mr. Baughman and carried unanimously. REQUEST FOR Mayor present request for emergency rehab- CDBG program EMERGENCY REHAB- as follows: CDBG PROGRAM has come to my attention that a particular house It located within the NSA is in dire need of repairs. The house is situated on lot 9 of block 8, in the Oakridge Addition, and is owned by Mrs. Nona Woods. The house would not be eligible for general rehabili- tation under currently adopted " Policies and Proce- dures" due to the problems of inadequate room size and ceiling height. However, the unit does qualify for Emergency Rehabilitation Assistance, under the same set of policies. The house is currently occupied, though the tenant finds it necessary to sleep elsewhere. The roof structure has deteriorated badly in one location, due to a massive rupture of the roof covering. Water leaking through has rotted the kitchen floor and ruined some furniture, as well as destroying portions of the ceiling. It is my op1n1on that the house is not safe for occupancy at this time. Repairs necessary to elimi- nate the problems can be completed for approximately 1, 200. 00. This action would be cost- effective in that it would eliminate the need for the tenants to J seek other government assisted housing. I would like your permission to proceed with necessary repairs as soon as possible. s/ Richard Sipnons, Rehabilitation Specialist" Mr. Baughman moved that request be approved. Motion was seconded by Mr. Franklin and carried unanimously. 266 7/ 14/ 81 LEGAL DOCUMENTS Mr. Franklin said, before we adjourn I think Mr. Mead has something to bring forward at this time. Mr. Mead said he needed direction from Council in reference to legal documents pertaining to the City. He further said he would deliver them to who so ever the Council directed. Mr. Baughman moved the documents be delivered to the City Clerk. Motion was seconded and carried unanimously. APPRECIATION TO The mayor said, it would not be appropriate to close FORT WALTON BEACH the meeting tonight without thanking the School HIGH SCHOOL Board for the use of the auditorium for tonight' s meeting at no cost to the City. A letter will be written from the City to the School Board thanking them for the use of the facility. The council chambers are too small and on occasion meetings have been moved to the civic auditiorium. Mr. Grant moved that the civic auditorium not be rented on Council meeting nights. Motion was seconded by Mr. Baughman carried. MAYOR' S COMMENTS Mayor said, I also would like to say that it concerns me, in my position, that the actions that I took as acting City Manager, are valid and binding until a new City Manager is appointed.
