E-D Council
discusses housing
Canadian’s housing situation
took center stage at Monday
night’s regular meeting of the Ca-
nadian/Hemphill County Eco-
nomic Development Council. The
group focused on changes in the
guidelines for FHA-financed
housing, and discussed a housing
finance corporation proposal
which had been presented last
week.
EDC Director Tom Bowden
told the council about conversa-
tions with FHA representative
Johnny Earp. A series of informa-
tive articles is planned for publica-
tion in The Record, explaining
FHA financing, qualifications for
loans, restrictions on building
plans and more. More loan funds,
Bowden said, will be available in
April, and he offered his assis-
tance to those wishing to apply.
Boot Camp Administrator Les
Brown reported on a Lubbock
meeting he had attended concern-
ing the Housing Finance Corpo-
ration, a regional effort to issue
bonds for the building of rental
units. Involvement in the corpora-
tion requires a $12,500 commit-
ment from the local group to help
fund a feasibility study, money
which is apparently refundable
once bonds are issued and con-
struction has begun.
Several concerns wrere raised
about liability to the city or coun-
cil, the cost and scope of a feasibil-
ity study, and general lack of
detailed information about the
program.
Bowden suggested that he
would take any concerns to the
city’s bond counsel for guidance.
Council chairman George Bri-
ant appointed a committee,
headed by Gibann Dickens, to get
more information for the next
meeting.
Election of new’ officers was
held. Donnie Johnston was named
as the new chairman, with Lynard
Schafer as vice-chairman and Mi-
cah Lewis, secretary.
Georgia King reported on the
progress of the Senior Retire-
ment Center committee, saying
that a meeting had been sched-
uled with a representative from
Covenant Group to discuss the
project.
Bowden offered a financial up-
date, reporting on the "very en-
couraging" 150% increase in this
month’s sales tax rebate.
In response to discussion
about moving Bowden’s office out
of City Hall, City Manager Dean
Looper clarified the structure of
the EDC Director’s relationship
with the City in general, and with
his office in particular.
“I have tried to make it clear
from the beginning,” he said,
“that I would not give Tom orders,
or discipline him, nor w’ould I
evaluate him, as that is the re-
sponsibility of this council.”
Looper characterized his role
as advisory, and the location of
Tom’s office as a convenience for
all concerned.
“If this Council wants to move
the office to another location to
improve the efficiency of the of-
fice,” he said, “I am in favor of it.
If the office is being used as part
of a political ‘turf-war,’ I am not in
favor of it....Tom is a tremendous
asset to this community. His posi-
tion should not be denigrated by
politics.”
Laurie Brown, Record editor,
addressed the council with a re-
quest that the group’s by-laws be
amended to include compliance
with the Open Meetings Law. The
council is, at this point, not legally
required to hold open met sings.
Brown admitted, although it has
voluntarily dune so thus far.
She pointed out, however, that
both the Economic Development
Corporation and the Hemphill
County Industrial Corpora-
tion—the two bodies which make
recommendations to the City
Council and County Commission-
ers as to how' sales tax dollars
should be spent—are required to
follow the Open Meetings Lav.
Because the three groups share
membership and frequently hold
joint meetings, their meetings
should follow the same rules. “It’s
too easy, otherwise,” she said, “for
you to switch hats in midstream as
it suits your purpose.”
“It is to your advantage for the
public to know what you are do-
ing,” she said. "It is my job to
make sure they know it.”
Brown said she made the re-
quest because of discussion at the
previous month’s meeting con-
cerning whether or not compli-
ance was necessary. “Compliance
should not he on a meeting by
meeting or situation by situation
basis," she said. “The public has a
right to some assurance that
meetings will always be open,
even when there are difficult is-
sues to discuss.”
Donnie Johnston expressed
concern that negotiations with po-
tential businesses should be held
in private. Brown assured him
that the Open Meetings Act pro-
vides a mechanism for closing
meetings to discuss contracts,
personnel, real estate transac-
tions and other very specific mat-
ters.
Council member John Ramp
said he saw no problem with add-
ing compliance with open meet-
ings to the by-lawTs. After some
discussion, it was determined that
the council had no by-laws, but
should.
To Brown’s request, however,
George Briant said, “I’m particu-
larly opposed to it. We’ve com-
plied with open meetings in the
past. We’ve worked with you. But
if you just keep adding on and
adding on, it gets to be too much.”
Bowden was authorized to pre-
pare a set of by-laws for consid-
eration at the next meeting.
