Dear Johnny:

This note follows our phone conversation of Monday, August
12th in which I suggested that the Model Neighborhood Pro-
gram appropriate $6,000 to Model Neighborhood, Inc. and
withhold $6,000 for Model Neighborhood, Inc. and other con-
tingencies.

I recommend that the $6,000 appropriation be made at the
earliest possible date so that Model Neighborhood, Inc. may
continue to tie up the land while finding tenants for the
shopping center.

Our conversations with Scott Rutherford of EDA have led us
to the following points:

dw

If the city provides Model Neighborhood, Inc.
(MNI) with an appropriation, such action will
indicate to EDA that the City approves of what
MNI is attempting to do and how they are doing
LE:

The appropriation would then allow EDA to deal
directly with MNI for additional and future
funding;

Such additional or future funding from EDA would
allow MNI to

el hire a full-time planner to get
on with the work of finding te-
nants and allocating space and

costs;

-2 provide a sense of organization
to MNI;

-3 and allow for future program and/or
project planning.

Braun Cleveland of Eric Hill Associates and I plan to put to-
gether a formal application to EDA in the near future. The

application would incorporate the Model Neighborhood Program's
appropriation into MNI's overall program.

Your immediate attention to this matter would be gratefully
appreciated.

With best wishes,
Yours truly,
