Biel, 2502 Sunrise Avenue, addressed the Board stating that he was a property owner in this area and that he would like to protest the sale of this property to the Housing Authority and he did not approve of this action. Mayor Pro Tem Whipple advised him that the Commission was just acting on the option to sell this property to the Housing Authority and a public hearing would be held by the Planning Commission when rezoning application was made. Commissioner Fountain moved that the Grant, Bargain and Sale Deed be approved for Option #1 with the Housing Authority for the sale of property generally located at 28th Street and Charleston, and the Mayor and City Clerk authorized to sign same with the understanding that a public hearing will be held for the rezoning when such application is made.

Commissioner Sharp passed his vote by reason that his firm is doing business with the Housing Authority. Absent: Mayor C. D. Baker. Later at this meeting Mr. James Hogan, 2528 Sunrise Avenue, asked if this matter could not be reconsidered. He was of the opinion that in selling this land to the Housing Authority of the Federal Government, there was no doubt that it was to be used for low-cost housing units and this would be ruinous to the surrounding property owners. City Attorney Calvin Cory stated the City was legally bound to sell this property under the option agreement entered into several months ago. Mr. Hogan asked why they were not notified and Mr. Cory advised him the City could sell property to anyone and was not required to serve notices or hold public hearing. After some discussion it was decided that the Housing Authority should be notified of these protests before escrow was entered into.
