<br /> 1 th I no.`s the Housing Co1:CE;rns CE,ir,?li'!_ LLee could do . One vas to suggest that the
<br /> HoustJlr-, Aide be ; . t.' t,hor:I.< ,ed to give Camillus as much ssi s .00c i in relocating.Lt,:r lig its
<br /> possible . A second was t i: , inasmuch aP the property cc : eT ...,r committed
<br /> himself to lf '. g helpful ^ s he could to the people occulii :iy g those dwc lti fri;..
<br /> the Comnlittee t• .3:c h:in at his word and see what he would dr. . If the Cc:%n l:i 'Li.ec
<br /> didn ' t take iac i iri where there was an l I'.medi:).•f••(: housing problem ,, .it was going to
<br /> have a i)3d time est:tbl Lsh i ng may faith in the cc,,In!nn !:L t;1f , he said . He said that
<br /> he hf t made his s' Y gc sti ons in a low-keyed manner because he assumed that there
<br /> could be no legal conditions ions on annexation .
<br /> Deputy Cit. Attorney Nike 1i } ck said that he was not Fund. i a r with annex a , ion ,
<br /> but t.h'-c ;: lrindlord_tenarit re:lLt:i.or s had been pre-empted by the State . He said
<br /> that the C, i ty Council could form a rc::l cc:r,.ti ('111 agency , but that the law must be
<br /> interpreted , because the 1 ih ita.t:ions or requirements are presc:I tl ;y' unclear .
<br /> Teary Henderson paid she wished that we had a low -i. rlcc:yne housing project going
<br /> in which we could say that the dislocated people ought to get pr'ef'erence .
<br /> Sylvester ,tiCGtti re suggested establishing a housing Resources Center to which
<br /> people could turn for advice :trite as sist'ince when they have housing problems .
<br /> I'iary Henderson observed that no tenants had asked the City or the Housing
<br /> Concerns Committee for help . An :inforwai yelping ll2.rd seemed most reasonable ,
<br /> she said , but it sshouldr! ' t be imposed on the tenants , since tli''. 't' was government
<br /> in its nose horrifying aspect .

<br /> Sylvester McGuire said that when the ahi exation was accomplished lished Mond )y , the
<br /> City would na e more business , but move displaced people , too . Redwood City was
<br /> Ls
<br /> going to hr ,ve more , not fever , housing problems , he said . A no-using Eesou?.'ces-
<br /> Center might alleviate that , with a staff of one or two to whom real est2te
<br /> agents could call their vacancies .
<br /> Dairy Henderson said that she felt the T'ri --Count: Apartment Association should have
<br /> that responsibility G.. s a landlord group . Debbie T: t . ega. i said .haL an inf o, rt
<br /> icn
<br /> center 'won ' t work , because there is no low -income ho•! s i ng ava-i lab] e . She :r.minded
<br /> people of the woraztrn in South San Francisco whose fou.c' kids were dying whose
<br /> housing need was well publicized , but who still took four months to fired a place .
<br /> lr n edi_` te , as low -income housing T comes available , she said , i. s rented ,e : .t •
<br /> gone . The only young family among the six families has already moved , she said ,
<br /> and the rest are middle-aged or elderly . Of Sunset , Dlikor , and the landlord
<br /> talannc= , clone arc poop' , she said , and she suggested that the three give each
<br /> family a $500 relocation p;i y?"rlcnt-- -which they could write off as a business loss .
<br /> They felt that pushing the zoning change at the City Council meeting justified
<br /> the cost of an attorney , and they might t; feel it warrants some extra dollars for
<br /> the tenants , since if the landlord has to go through long eviction procedures
<br /> and has his construction held up it going to cost him money .
<br /> She said that the City Council was a scary place , and that many of the people
<br /> who Ithd come from P',ortlnuriberii nd Avenue to protest the zoning change had been
<br /> afraid to speak . One older woman broke down in tears because she couldn ' t
<br /> bring herself to spe�:.k, she said .
