It was his intention to have placed on it consideration of extension of 5th year funds for EACEDC and it was not added in time. He re- quested that the item be added to tomorrow's agenda for 3:45 p.m. consideration. Mr. Carlos Herrera, Director of Human Services, stated, "Subsequent to the meeting that was held in San Antonio we forwarded to HUD the information that was required to indicate to HUD that the two EDC's, NBL and AMECDC had been heard through the citizen review process and had been deliberated at the City Council and the Minutes reflected this. HUD has indicated to us verbally that as a result of that proof they will not be impeded. They indicated to us that the City Council could be advised that you do not have a restriction in entering into a 6th year contract. They did caution us and advise us on some other concerns they had in terms of budget levels and some of the staff positions that one of the agencies has. HUD indicated they may have a question on the level of where they may draw the line in terms of directing the city to do something or recommending would be very fine. At this point we do not know until we receive an official communication."
