Mr. Eliopoulos asked would there be resistance if income variables are not mixed. He inquired if it would be physically impossible to mix the units. s June io, 2oos Mr. Carney advised there should be no resistance since the units will be uniform on the exterior. He explained because some units would be managed by rental agents and other units would be managed by a homeowners association it would be physically impossible to mix the units. ~ Mr. Eliopoulos cautioned the CRA against acquiring too many properties with so many uncertainties with loans. Mr. McDuffie discussed the increased land values with the infrastructure. He stated he supported the project; however, he did not have enough information available to give direction at this time.

She advised there was no final design at this time, there was a preliminary design and traffic analysis that was done and funded by the CR.A. An estimate of the final cost is not available since the final design hasn't been completed. Mr. Fetzer expressed his concern with funding. He asked if the $1.4 million in Federal money could be kept because of the timing. Mrs. Colonna advised the $1.4 million could be kept, an extension had been granted.

Mrs. Montague stated she was in favor of the Spady Museum project but she was concerned with the CRA being overwhelmed with project funding. Mr. McDuffie stated that he supported the Spady Museum project, although he understood it could be a much larger management issue -he does not want to see the property decay. Mayor Ellis asked if it would be a significant problem to delay this project until the City is in a better financial position with its budget. Daisy Fulton, Executive Director of Expanding & Preserving Our Cultural Heritage (EPOCH), advised it would be a significant problem if this project was delayed. It would depend on the family, which is willing to sell the property to the CRA at this time. Mrs. Fulton stated that EPOCH was offered the property first with the understanding that it would work out a deal with the CRA for the purchase of the property. Unfortunately EPOCH does not have the revenue to purchase the property, so there is a heavy reliance on the City and the CRA to support the effort. Ms. Fulton addressed concerns with funding and operating expenditures. She asked Commission to review the annual report that was distributed to them which referenced a growing diverse group of funding sources. She stated that staffing needs would be met through volunteers and part-time employees.

She advised the CRA would make sure the home is stabilized, safe, and there are no leaks. Mrs. Montague asked if the building is occupied at this time. Mrs. Colonna advised that the building is not occupied. Mrs. Montague asked if the building could be secured to make sure there is no decay. Mrs. Ellis advised that she is in favor of the Spady Museum Muse house if the CRA does the acquisition and makes sure the home is stabilized then maybe the City could do the rest of the project in phases as money becomes available. Ms. Fulton advised that EPOCH is recognized at the State level and that a diverse culture is embraced at the organization. Mrs. Fulton stated that fortunately EPOCH has not had to come back to request a loan or any extra financial support. Mayor Ellis thanked the board and staff at EPOCH for all of their hard work. It was the consensus of the Commission to support the Spady Museum Muse house project if the CRA agrees to handle the acquisition and stabilization, the City will take over at some point in the near future. 8 June 10, 2008 2.

Mr. Eliopoulos advised he would like to re-bid, however, if the consensus of the Commission is to extend the contract he would look at what could be incorporated into Waste Management's contract.
