Council Agenda 6-19-2012

It seems that every time we have talked about the housing problem here in Middletown since 2000 we have stated over and over again that we need to demo 3,000 properties. However I can not find proof that this is a true statement or a correct number.
Here is the link to the 2012 HUD Substantial Amendment
Please read page 8
During 2008 it states the following:
305 homes need major rehab
25 homes dilapidated and occupied
18 homes condemnable and vacant

GG -Ms. Viv,
If you listened to the same council hearing I did, you would have heard Mr. Adkins state that the city’s plan for matching funds had the blessings of both HUD and the AG’s office. It just requires the two step shuffle……
It is time to wipe away those tears

Please provide me with copies of these letters of approval from HUD and the AG office and post them on this blog.
I have been told that documention of the approval from these two enities does not exist as per this date.

Ms. Viv,

Give me a break and re-read my post….. I said that Mr. Adkins “stated” that he had the blessings of both the AG’s office and HUD. Please provide a link to the video and folks can view and hear it for themselves. Just because the documentation “may” not exist doesn’t mean that a verbal blessing wasn’t issued. In all probability, this is how it went down. I don’t know why I am telling you this because you already know it. In my eyes, things are looking up.

    I was told the other day that I needed to add another multi million dollar item to the critical needs list of Middletown, the Water Treatment Plant.
One of these days EPA will ride into town and there will be no more kicking these big cans down the road. Where on earth are we going to come up with the money to solve the EPA problems and then repave the streets?
   

Understood.....

What the residents of Lefferson being assesed for?  And why don't the residnets of Main Street have to pay the same assessment?

Each HUD program is designed to address different problems in areas of greatest need within our City. CDBG Funds were never intended to be used as the street paving department of this city.
For many years between $100,000 - $150,000 of CDBG Funds were designated for demo of blighted residential structures in the 1^st and 2^nd Wards. So the city was removing about 10 to 15 homes and or old garages per year. If demo was such a high priority why haven't they demo more houses per year since they had the HUD money to accomplish the task. 
 The Neighborhood Stabilization Program or NSP is a new program. Now it seems that Mr Adkins is using NSP Funds for all the demo in the city. (see above list that I posted).
I have been told by a local realtor that if the city continues to remove several homes in a block it will only further decrease the value of the homes in the 1st and 2^nd Ward. He said if the city really wants to impact an area then they need to demo an entire block of homes at one time.

"I know that you are a strong advocate of using the funds to repair our streets. I agree that our streets are in bad shape and need to be addressed. However, Mayor Mulligan made a statement at the last council meeting that, if true, strengthens my conviction that removing blighted homes is a more impactful use of our limited funds"

I agree with you on the need to knock down all the blighted properties in town. However, there is a secondary portion to this conversation that needs to be addressed......

Since the mid 80's, when the city council, at that time, asked the voters to move funds from the street repair fund to the General Fund, as the city had some financial issues to resolve, the road repairs have been little to none in coming. THAT is the problem with the city as it applies to road repair. They have never returned to the days when their budget called for money allocation back into that fund, They always have another area to spend their money and the roads are always the ugly stepsister in the budget, receiving no attention what so ever. That's why we have grass and weed growing through the cracks of the asphalt on the residential streets now......doesn't matter what area of town you live, your residential street shows signs of neglect from 20-35 years of the absence of a street repair program. The residents have been asking for years to fix the roads at a more rapid pace to no avail. The council and city leaders have never put streets on the highest priority list. Streets, infrastructure and safety should be the basic requirements supplied by the city to it's residents. It has not been done in this city for over two decades or more.

To answer your question concerning costs of lane miles of roadway. There was a road repair committee set up a few years ago during the Marconi, Becker, Gilleland, Ginger Smith days. Some of us attended those meetings and received some info. on how the city graded out the roads as to condition and priority of repair. In that information packet, was some cost per lane mile depending on severity of repair. If the road was to be taken down to it's base, it was (I think) something ridiculous like a million bucks per lane mile. If just the top layer, would be cheaper with patching the cheapest. Since the city hasn't bothered to place any money in the budget for repairs, they had to wait for fed money to do University and other resurfacing that we all have noticed. Not much has been done at this pace and don't see much being done in the next decaded either unless they want to change their priorities. S. Main gets the new street because of who lives there and to enhance the neighborhoods around their precious downtown area. The rest of us must wait for our streets to turn to gravel or mud I guess for them to take notice. (unless, of course, all of us on the block finance the new street ourselves)   

A suggestion to Middletown and Ms. Moon. As it requires no capital outlay to receive $500,000., take 0$ outlay, and make $500,000. If the concern is leverage, you have it. No money, and you get $500,000. what a deal. Acclaro

If you read the Guidlines in order to get the $500,000 that you do not need to match you MUST match the entire sum of the grant of 2.35 million. You can not get only the $500,000 no match and walk away.

At least we are in agreement that the folks at Donham Plaza are experts at the ol' DOUBLE SHUFFLE!!!

Dear Council Members
I need some clarification about the actions that you are about to take concerning the funding of the Moving Ohio Forward Grant Program.
With full knowledge of the rules set down by Mike DeWine, the Ohio Attorney General for this program, is it the intent of this City Council to simply ignore the rules and use HUD Funding for this program?

”Federal funds, such as CDBG, NSP and HUD, are ineligible as matching funds unless the local government is in fiscal emergency as defined in Chapter 118 of the Revised Code.”

The city now has 1.1 MILLION DOLLARS (unappropriated) in the General Fund.  Money in the General Fund can be used for any legitimate municipal purpose.  Even if Adkins or Landen try to wrap some weasel words around this $1.1 million, saying it is still CBDG money (which it is not, if it is in the General Fund) CBDG MONEY CAN BE USED FOR PAVING STREETS!!!
