Appearances: Burl Greaves: State Savings of Lubbock

There was a lengthly discussion on the Proposed Lubbock Fair Housing Strategy.
The main topics of concern were Actions la and lb under Objective 1, Local
Initiative. Ms. Kastman presented detailed Information relevant to the
actions, Ms. Kastman stated that the actions would be a duplicate effort
as savings and loan institutions already are heavily involved in these types
of activities.
1. Lubbock Mortgage Review Board
A. Purpose: "To insure that single family (owner -occupied)
dwelling conventional mortgage funds are available throughout
Lubbock; and to create a structured program through which
savings and loans and other mortgage lending institutions and
neighborhoods can begin a constructive dialogue which will
lead to a better mutual understanding of housing and lending
problems in Lubbock." (Articles of Organization: Lubbock

t

5. Declined
6. Application Withdrawn
C. Loans Eligible for Review: Any denied applicant for a first
lien mortgage on a single family property, owner occupied,
In Lubbock is eligible to have his loan reviewed by the Board.
D. Composition of Board: The Board will consist of six regular
members: three mortgage lending institution officers and
three representatives of the community of Lubbock.
E. Criteria for Review: "A (loan) denial may be recommended for
reconsideration by the Board only if it is the consensus of
the Board that it was denied on the basis of the location or
neighborhood of the property."
2. Federal Home Loan Bank Application Register:
As of October 1, 1980, members of the Federal Home Loan Bank System
must maintain a new application register to meet the Bank Board's
non-discrimination requirements. The register includes mortgage
loans (one to four family dwellings), mobile home loans and home
Improvement/equipping loans. Applications excluded from the regis-
ters are:
1. Loan inquiries received over the phone.
2. Applications from corporations, partnerships, etc.
3. Oral applications, provided the association has exercised
it's prerogative to accept only written applications.
The register must include the following information on mortgage
loan applications:
1. Loan identification: purpose of loan, date, application
number and loan number.
2. Loan disposition
3. Property location - census tract and zip code_
4. Area Data: income levels/minority
5. Applicant Information: Race, sex, marital status

(2)
The CDAC and the HRC will make studies, with the assistance of such organi-
zations as the Lubbock Mortgage Review Board,, the South Plains Mortgage
Association and the Lubbock Board of Realtors, related to fair housing
practices in such areas as lending and real estate practices, housing dis-
persal and tenant policies.
The motion carried by a vote of 18-0.
Mr. Longoria moved and Mr. Cooks seconded that the Lubbock Fair Housing Strategy,
as amended, be recommended to the City Council.
The motion carried by a vote of 18-0.
B. Consider a recommendation for the development of a Fair Housing Ordinance.
Ms. Vines and Mr. Cole spoke in favor of recommending a Fair Housing Ordinance.
Mr. Cole sited the reduction in complaints since the Public Accomodation
Ordinance was passed. Ms. Vines stated that examples of housing discrimina-
tion were now available and should be presented to Council.
There was some discussion as to whether the CDAC should draft a fair housing
ordinance to present to Council. Mr. Childers recommended that the CDAC
make the recommendation that an ordinance be developed. if Council concurs,
the Legal Department would draft an ordinance. The CDAC would most likely
be asked to recommend an ordinance to the Council.
Mr. Cole moved and'Mr. Gardner seconded to recommend that City Council con-
sider a fair housing ordinance to affirm to the citizens of Lubbock fair
housing opportunities.
The motion carried by a vote of 18-0.
ITEM III
Consider a request for CDBG assistance from residence of East Kemper and East
Jarvis Streets.
Appearances: Juan Lopez - 111 East Kemper
D.J. Sammons - 103 East Kemper
At the August 12, 1980 CDAC meeting residents of East Kemper Street appeared
before the CDAC requesting funds to pave East Kemper and East Jarvis Streets.
Chairman Berry directed the staff to do further research on this matter before
the September meeting.
Mr. Bertram explained to the Committee that the area is zoned "Light Industrial"
and that residential expansion in this area is impractical. The Zoning Board
of Adjustment must review any application for a residential building permit in'
this M-1 area. The ZBA would be sure that the applicant is aware that residential
property in this area has no zoning protection before issuing or approving a
building permit.
(3)
Information from the Planning Department indicates that there is potential
development to the North of Kemper Street. Any industrial development in
this area would result in the extension of Lehigh Street through to North
Ash Avenue. Extension of this street would help eliminate the commercial
uses on Kemper Street.
Ms. Foster explained that the Engineering Department has prepared cost esti-
mates for three alternatives to improving East Kemper Street. The first
alternative was for curb and gutter paving dead ending on the east end of
Kemper Street. The cost of this work would be $30,489. The second alterna-
tive is 24 -foot street paving which may be installed on Kemper Street with
specific City Council approval. The cost of street paving would be $14,726.
Although strip paving is not normally constructed in residential areas, in
this case due to the location and the zoning of the area strip paving might
be the best alternative. In both alternatives the east end of Kemper Street
may not be barricaded as the City cannot deny public access to Kemper Street
from the property owner on the adjoining side.
The last alternative to be considered in improving -Kemper Street involves grad-
ing and Improving the caliche street. The current cost of this work is $3,700.
However, this solution is not permanant as any rains would result in washouts
and chug -holes.
Mr. Lopez, Mr. Sammons, and an unidentified resident reiterated the need for
paving at the same time requested sidewalks to prevent children from playing
on the street. Sidewalk improvement would require that curb and gutter paving
be installed. This increased cost and the need for additional for right-of-way
would make the project costs prohibitive.
Mrs. Bacon requested a show of hands from those residents in attendance which
supported the alternative of strip paving to no paving at all. Those residents
in attendance voted unanimously for the strip paving.
Mr. Hamilton moved and Mrs. Shine seconded to recommend to the City Council that
East Kemper Street from Ash Avenue to the unimproved road on east be strip
paved. The motion carried with a vote of 18-0.
ITEM IV
Develop a recommendation regarding a sidewalk repair or installation project
designated for the South Overton Neighborhood.
Appearances: Ken Hargesheimer, Chairman, Overton South Neighborhood Association
Mr. Hargesheimer presented two maps to the CDAC as the recommendation from the
Overton South Neighborhood Association. One map displayed nonexisting the
in -need -of repair sidewalks. The second map displayed 44 unpaved alley returns.
The recommendation from the Overton South Association was that the $30,000
be used to pave alley returns. Mr. Foster indicated that the estimated cost
for paving alley returns is approximately $960. At this cost the City could
install approximately 30 alley returns for the budgeted funds.
(4)
Mr. Hargesheimer recommended that alley returns boardered by existing sidewalks
be paved first. He indicated that the CDAC should decide on a criteria for
eliminating other locations It needed. He.did, however, indicate that Avenue
T and Avenue U are streets most frequently used by children.
Mr. Dawson moved and Mrs �� Elliott seconded the recommendation to the City Council
that the project summaries for the installation repair of sidewalks be amended
to include the installation of alley returns.
The motion carried 18-0.
ITEM V
Discus the schedule for the development of the 1981-82 CDBG Annual Application.
