CONTINUED BUSINESS:
1. A report was presented from the Council ad hoc HUD
HUD
Block Grant Committee in connection with the
Block
property at 5th and Marguerite.
Grant
(2082)
A report was presented from the City Manager
regarding alternate funding of the 5th and Mar-
guerite Avenue property.
Bill Wenke, attorney for the Carden School,
addressed the Council and indicated they would
like to have a little more time on the lease
depending on Council's action.
X
Councilman Ryckoff made a motion to continue the
lease and advise HUD.
Councilman Williams asked that the motion be
amended to include an attempt to secure the third
year block grant funds, including entitlement and
inequities, which amendment was not accepted by
the maker of the motion.
Councilman Ryckoff requested the following state-
ment be included in the record:
"1. We can finance a senior cititzens
project on our own.
"2. In doing own financing, we can exercise
local control which this Council has
expressed an interest in maintaining.
"3. If HUD funds are accepted we are faced
with a subsidized housing goal of 568
units. If we set such goals and ignore
them, we are prostituting ourselves and
the City to get Federal funds. If we
mean to live up to these goals, we are
embarking on a new social program of
far - reaching consequences.
'4. Where will these units go? In existing
built -up areas? Mr. Wynn's letter of
June 21 amends our application to include
all undeveloped residential sites in the
City. What is the effect of such
development on property values? Would
sites on Irvine Avenue on West Bay be
suitable, or the Castaways, or a number
of the Newporter or Newport Center
high -rise sites? Developers' reaction
would be of interest.
115. If we go our own way, we can encourage
and take advantage of voluntary help
such as offered by the Soroptimist Club,
and urged by Mrs. Forgit, in their
letter of July 6. There is nothing wrong

an��
with voluntary help, and there is nothing
like standing on your own feet. It is a
healthier posture than looking for hand-
outs, and leads to more practical and
rational programs.
16. The Wall Street Journal lead editorial
on July 1, 1977 details the kind of
problems that occur in subsidized housing,
in this case in New York. It seems that
problems will inevitably arise when
ordinary economics are ignored, problems
of deficits, of inability to meet debt
service and of tenant attitude. The
article goes on to say 'We see the
familiar pattern of government locking
itself into a program with unforeseen
costs, and making these costs even
greater by bending to electoral pressures.
The only beneficiary is (in this case)
some well- organized segment of the
middle class.'
"7. I am confident there is little community
support for the HUD fund program, and I
believe that one committee has run
unchecked with the ball, and a small
number of interested people have worked
hard and effectively. I only wish that
equal attention was given to other
committees who have also worked hard
but, without the lobbying and public
relations assistance, have found their
recommendations not even discusased by
the Council. I believe if this HUD
matter was put to public vote, it would
have no chance with the voters in Newport
Beach. Also, the Newport Harbor Chamber
of Commerce recommends against Federal
funding.
"8. Finally, higher branches of government
vie with one another in imposing social-
istic programs, which are simply income
transfer schemes. I believe we do not
have to promote such activities at our
level, and in fact that it is in our
best interest to oppose them and not
participate."
