Mayor Moore opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to speak. Mr. Patterson advised the forms have been completed to file with HUD. This will be the third public hearing, the first two being held on January 5 and January 6, 1996. There will be an additional thirty-day comment period. This is the City's third year entitlement. The amount expected this year will be $721,000.00, and the amount has dropped each year. The Staff's recommendations were provided. (1) Ron Jager on behalf of the Senior Citizens Association requested the Old Christian Church be renovated to be used for senior citizens city-wide. He thinks this is what H. Y. Price wanted, and thinks this would not be a strain on the City's budget if CDBG funds are used. The grant funds should benefit at least 510 of low to moderate income persons. Mr. Jager stated the church meets conditions for use by senior citizens. The City indicated there were public health and safety problems last year, and the building continues to deteriorate, which would qualify it for funding. Mr. Jager said it also qualifies for funding to remove barriers and install an elevator. Mr. Jager said some Council Members last year indicated they would support this project with grant funds. They are requesting $100,000.00 for-renovations. (2) Ollie Giles representing the Neighborhood Association wants to see the CDBG funds used to rehabilitate homes, provide drainage,
