Sioux City Journal from Sioux City, Iowa • 14

Sioux City Journal, Saturday, February 6, 1982 City can't change housing contract The Department of Housing and Urban Development has that it can't cinformed Section 8 housing contract to enable it to include downtown apartments operated by Frank Smoot. The city also has been informed by U.S. Rep. Berkley Bedell that it can pull out of a 78-unit public housing project if it wants to but can't have the federal funds for that program transferred to another housing program. The council will discuss both reports at its 1 meeting Monday.

It also will discuss a request by the Airport Advisory Board that it be allowed to look into the possibility of a regional airport authority and will take a look at next year's capital improvement program looking for more places to cut next year's budget. The precouncil meeting will start at 2 p.m. Monday in the city manager's office and the regular meeting will start at 4 p.m. in the council chamber. Precouncil meeting will open with presentation of the quarterly report of the Human Rights Commission.

That will be followed at 2:10 p.m. by the airport discussion, at 2:30 p.m. by the public housing discussion and at 2:50 p.m. by the capital improvemeant program review. The regular meeting agenda includes resolutions authorizing issuance of $10 million worth of industrial revenue bonds for the Terra Tower project downtown and $4 million worth of medical clinic revenue bonds for the medical office complex just west of the new downtown hospital.

Those resolutions have been deferred while the developers waited the best possible time to sell the bonds. Community Development Director John Curfman said in a report to the council that the city has received a letter from HUD indicating that efficiency apartments such as those operated by Smoot at Sixth and Pearl Streeats do not qualify for the 54-unit Section 8 housing program for which the city now is taking proposals. Under that program, private developers or apartment owners would rehabilitate existing units and receive federal rent subsidies to rent them to low and moderate income tenants. HUD had specified 11 one-bedroom units, 13 two-bedroom units and six three-bedroom units. A subcommittee of the city's Housing Advisory Committee has recommended acceptance of proposals for 25 of the units for the first phase of the program, but bypassed Smoot.

To accept Smoot's 13 units, the mix of apartment sizes would have By Bob Gunsolley Journal staff writer had to be changed. The council had requested permission to change some larger apartments to onebedroom units to accommodate Smoot's apartments. HUD said it doesn't want to change the mix and that Smoot's efficiency apartments wouldn't qualify anyway unless he puts in bedrooms. The same goes for another developer that had proposed efficiency units, Curfman said in his report. He recommended that the council approve the proposals six other developers selected by the HAC subcommittee and proceed to take proposals for the remainder of the units in the program.

The other developers are Brad Lego, Darrell Lunning, Leon Koster, Danny Robinson, Jerry Meyers and Jack Bobier. Curfman said in his report on the public housing project that the council should notify HUD immediately if it wants to start negotiating withdrawal from the project. Withdrawal from a public housing project has never been tried, but Bedell said it can be done without repercussions from HUD, Curfman reported. council decides to do that, he said, it should then decide how many of the 78 units to complete before pulling out. Thirteen are already occupied; eight more are under construction; one is in pre-construction; the city has options on four others and has received HUD authority to acquire 11 more.

The program calls for purchase by the city of existing units that require substantial remodeling before they are rented. The council has indicated that it doesn't like the public housing program because the units have to be taken off the tax rolls. That makes the program a cost to the city, it has been argued. The council had hoped that the federal subsidy funds that had been allocated to the program could be used for another one instead. That can't be done, Bedell found out.

He reported to the city that since such a project has never been unilaterally stopped before its completion, negotiations may involve a city payback of federal development costs. If the council decides to proceed with the project, it could complete as many as 52 of the 78 project before expiration of a deadline set for next Sept. 30. The city would have to put more people on the project to complete the entire 78 units by deadline time and the city already had decided not to do that. In fact, the previous council had imposed a temporary moratorium on the project, one which has not yet been lifted.

Dividend Gas will sell out to Des Moines firm Dividend Bonded Gas has agreed to sell its 12 stations, three of which are located in Sioux City, to Pester Marketing Co.

subsidiary of Pester Corp. of Des Moines, Earle Grueskin, president of the Sioux City-based Dividend, said Friday. The other nine stations are located in Davenport, Iowa, Omaha and Lincoln in Nebraska, and Rock Island, Ill. Pester Marketing Co. operates 220 stations in Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas and the Rocky Mountain area, Grueskin said.

It is expected that Pester will take over the Dividend operation around Northern Airlines stop here in doubt Airlines doubt Northern Airlines, which filed for bankruptcy Thursday, already has started cutting back on its service to Sioux City and it is very much in doubt as to whether it will continue here at all, James Cornish, chairman of the Airport Advisory Board, said Friday. Cornish said he talked to an official of the airline and was told that the company's president, Arthur Stock, was trying to get some financing to continue operating. The official, Carole Brown, said that if the airline is able to stay in business at all, it will continue service to Brookings, Huron, Mitchell and Pierre in South Dakota because it has been approved the civil i Aeronautics Board for federal subsidies for that service, Cornish said. But Northern has never applied for a subsidy for its Minneapolis-Sioux CityLincoln route and continuation of that route therefore is doubtful, Cornish indicated. Lincoln already has been dropped from the route and Sioux City now is being served by a Northern plane that arrives from Minneapolis in the evening and returns there the next morning, Cornish said.

It does not operate weekends. If Sioux City does lose the Northern service, the Airport Board will have to renew its efforts to German state seek other regional airlines to replace service which Republic SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1982 State Bird Quilt! 690 by Laura Wheeler Fascinate everybody with beautiful State Bird quilt.

to form the platform. The platform will measure 30 feet wide at its top and be 150 to 200 feet long. Reynolds said plans call for dropping the bridge's No. 3 span onto the temporary platform. The span then will be removed from the temporary platform and the exposed part of the pier will be dropped onto the platform and then removed.

When those tasks are completed, the base of the pier will be removed and, finally, the temporary platform itself. The No. 1 span of the bridge will be dropped onto the land beneath it, including Interstate 29. Demolition of this span will require the rerouting of Interstate 29 traffic for about two days, Reynolds explained. The No.

2 span will be dropped into the main channel of the river and then will be retrieved from the river, Reynolds said. The No. 4 span will be dropped onto land on the Nebraska side of the river. The railroad bridge was retired Dec. 4 when a new $14 million replacement span was opened to traffic.
