CALL TO ORDER
A special meeting of the City Council was called at 7:15 P.M.,
August 27, 1980, pursuant to Council decision at the regular meet-
ing of August 25, 1980.

Present:

Council - Keeler, Naegele, Haugen, Shaw
Clerk Wiltsey
PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE AND PRAYER
REVIEW OF SUBSIDIZED HOUSING
Mayor Frazier reviewed the memorandum report from Brad Nielsen,
Planner from Northwest Associated Consultants, Inc., relative to
the review process for the subsidized development.
Council discussed the steps necessary:
to establish whether or not Shorewood will provide for
subsidized housing.
It was then agreed that Shorewood has already established that
there will be subsidized housing in Shorewood in their approval
of the comprehensive plan (approved by the Planning Commission and
the Council).
To respond to a question from the public, Councilwoman Haugen brought
the Coullcil and residents up to date on the adoption of the compre-
hensive plan. She also summarized the meetings held with the ad-
joining cities to combine community development block grant funds
to locate property within the area for subsidized housing that led
to the decision by the Shorewood Council to withdraw from the group
and use their community development funds towards rehabilitation of
existing Shorewood homes.
The four factors considered by the Council under Question #1 - "Is
the proposed project acceptable from a general policy perspective?"
were (1) housing needs, (2) social aspects, (3) fiscal impact, and
(4) philosophical and political implications.
The planner's memorandum summarizing the factors was reviewed.
Also involved in the discussion were (1) those residents of the area
opposed to the project, (2) representatives of the developers,
Wayne Field, Attorney Gordon, representative of Banco Mortgage
Corporation, and others, and (3) several area residents who hoped
to be occupants of subsidized housing.

subsidized housing should not be centralized in
one area - should be scattered
additional school costs
additional police needed
road costs will be increased
valuations will go down in surrounding area
not against subsidized housing but against the project
After much discussion as to the interpretation of the Question #1
in the memo, a motion was made by Frazier to vote on the question
as stated in the memo:

perspective?" Seconded by Keeler. On roll call vote, the
vote was a unanimous vote of 5 ayes and no nays.

When Council reconvened, the architect Mundt presented a new plan,
dated August 27, 1980. This plan contained an area of 6 single-
family homes on about 30,000 square foot lots with access from
Yellowstone Trail, the elderly housing in the center, and the family
housing on the south end of the development along Highway 7.
After further review, it was moved by Naegele, seconded by Haugen,
to send to the Planning Commission for their consideration. Motion
