Mayor Craddock introduced for consideration approval of the issuance of Multi-Family Housing Bonds by Capital Area Planning Council (CAPCO) for a project known as Post Oak Apartments (C. A. Elder and Steve Epps, General Partners - Herman Newman Company project). Scott Sheldon of the law firm of Sheldon and King in Beaumont, Texas was present re- presenting Messrs. Elder and Epps,and stated the project would be fi- nanc~through tax exempt bonds from CAPCO.

The project is on the priority list for LUEs on the third package plant and the project is also in the Priority I moratorium area. Mr. Sheldon said CAPCO had authorized the issuance of the bonds for the project and they needed the City's approval for the issuance of the bonds. Mr. Brown expressed concern of CAPCO's criteria and where they are headed. He said the communica- tion is not clear what CAPCO is doing (The project is considered resi- dential living for low to moderate incomesand Messrs.

He stated an Ordinance would be presented to the Council in the future which would provide Landlord and Tenant provisions and would help to alleviate this zoning violation.
