He then introduced Isadore Candeub and Victor Galgano of the firm of Candeub and Fleissig, Urban Renewal Consultants, who presented and explained to the members of the Commission the fundamental factors and elements included in the tentative Urban Renewal Plan for Project "Madison School." The Staff and Consultants answered a number of questions posed by the members of the Commission. The Coordinator of Urban Renewal explained that it was not the intention of the staff to request an official approval of the plan at this time since the final details had not been completed and had not been reviewed by the Urban Renewal Administration. He also pointed out the requirement for a public hearing prior to the final and official adoption of the Urban Renewal Plan. Mr. Bills stated that the Commission should unofficially indicate its approval of the planning fundamentals, including the proposed land uses, utilities, and project controls so that the Staff might complete the final details for this project for later submission to the Commission; whereupon Mayor Gragson instructed the Staff and consultants to complete the detailed planning in accordance with the submission made at this meeting and to prepare the proper forms which are required to finalize this phase of the "Madison School" Urban Renewal Project so that the necessary application to the Federal Government for a loan and grant for this project might be completed and submitted. -0O0- There being no further business to come before the Board at the hour of 3:25 P.M. this meeting adjourned.
