B-8 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Friday, July 29, 1994 THE REGION Housing Authority holding closed session WM -PfT-. 1 7 it 1 5v ing. She said she was appeased after talking to authority board member Linda Brown, who also is a public housing tenant Robinson said Brown assured her that she would represent the tenants' point of view and report back to Robinson on the meeting. Still, Robinson said, a member of the organization should have been invited. She said tenants were especially concerned about the board's direction because it has discussed radical new projects, such as the razing of Allequippa Terrace.

About 30 people attended a public meeting of the authority board yesterday. At that meeting, the board approved an application for a $7.8 million grant that may be used to pay for part of the Allequippa Terrace project. The board also agreed to ask for permission from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to demolish Addison Hall, a building in the Addison Terrace complex in the Hill District. The board hopes to replace it with a community center, Ferlo said.

By Barbara White Stack Post-Gazette Staff Writer The city Housing Authority board of directors plans a daylong closed meeting today. Stanley A. Lowe, acting authority executive director, refused to disclose any details about the meeting. Judy Kelly, a spokeswoman for Mayor Murphy, defended the secrecy of the meeting. Murphy is chairman of the authority board.

Kelly said the city solicitor said the meeting would not violate the state Sunshine Act In general, the act says that if a quorum of a public agency meets at a prearranged gathering to take or discuss official action, the meeting must be open to the public. But the act does allow boards to discuss some things in private, such as personnel matters, labor negotia tions and pending lawsuits. Kelly said all of those would be discussed today. City Council President Jim Ferlo, who has the longest tenure of any authority board member, said he, too, believed that the meeting would comply with the requirements of the Sunshine Act. He said the meeting would begin at 9 a.m.

at The Priory on the North Side. He said it was an orientation meeting for several new board members, not a meeting to discuss specific action. He said the authority's goals would be discussed, as well as the hiring of a new executive director and minority participation in authority contracts. Betty Robinson, chairwoman of the Metropolitan Tenants Organization, said she at first was angry after learning of the private meet EE'S JgKgr-iik- Rusty KennedyAssociated Press Lawyer sues police over home search Fatal tornado During the search of his home, Bartholomew said, police went through his personal correspondence and privileged attorney-client files. Bartholomew said police also searched the separate living quarters of his mother, Mary T.

Bartholomew, who lives with him. Bartholomew is seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damages. An onlooker checks homes damaged by a tornado yesterday in Limerick, Montgomery County, where three people were killed. Other homes were damaged in Chester County. It was the first tornado to kill anyone in southeastern Pennsylvania in 1 5 years.

N. Side youth center proposed to supplant gangs Gun-sale opinions aired By Matthew P. Smith Post-Gazette Staff Writer A Brighton Heights lawyer has filed a lawsuit against Pittsburgh and three of its police officers, claiming they violated his constitutional rights, including the attorney-client right to privacy, during a search of his home. John J. Bartholomew filed the suit yesterday in U.S.

District Court. Named as defendants are the city, police Detective Carl Metz and two unnamed police officers. Bartholomew said police came to his home with a search warrant July 21 to look for a cellular telephone he was holding for a client, Clyde Duffy. Bartholomew said the phone was one of several items he was safeguarding for Duffy, 41, of Whitehall, who surrendered to police July 18 after a warrant was issued charging him with harassment by communication. In their application for the search warrant, police said they believed Duffy had used the cellular phone to commit the offense.

grams, dances and other events. The center would be open to people from 13 to 25 who would be issued a card to enter the building. Entrances will have metal detectors to ensure that no weapons get inside. "Our hope is to position this thing so that it becomes fashionable to go there," Carter said. "We want to make it so it's popular to be a member.

We want this to replace gangs." Stanley Lowe, acting director of the city Housing Authority, said city officials were pleased with the plan, but cautioned that it still faced numerous hurdles. Carter said the city could learn as early as September whether the application was approved. GANGS FROM PAGE B-l Raheem said the residents planned to meet again Aug. 4. Carter, who grew up a few blocks from Bidwell United Presbyterian Church, where last night's neighborhood meeting was held, said he would lobby for the project because Pittsburgh is his hometown.

"This is my neighborhood," said Carter, 37. "It breaks my heart when I see what's been going on." Under the proposal, which could be submitted to HUD as early as today, about half of the grant money would be spent on acquisition and renovation of the fire station, with the balance going to development of educational and recreational programs. About 50 youths would be hired as laborers on the construction project. "We want to establish right away that this is theirs, that they have some ownership in it," Carter said. Carter said he had spent several weeks talking to teens to find out what kinds of things they would want in a youth center and he tried to incorporate many of those ideas into the grant proposal.

Among the activities the center would provide are training for General Equivalency Diploma exams or other standardized tests, such as the Scholastic Aptitude Test or American College Test; a Head Start program, computer training, and baby-sitting. It also would provide organized recreational pro GUNS FROM PAGE B-l "I think it will pass," Councilman Dan Onorato said. The bill is up for preliminary council vote Wednesday, with a final vote scheduled for Aug. 9. "There seems to be unanimous support on council so far," said Doug Shields, an O'Connor aide.

"I haven't heard anyone say anything against it." The bill would change city zoning regulations to specifically prohibit those with federal firearm sales licenses from doing business from their residences. Sales of ammuni tion and gunpowder from homes also would be prohibited. Although the zoning law doesn't address gun sales, permission for such sales has been granted by the city's zoning board of adjustment. The bill strips the board of that power. The bill also, limits gun stores to commercial zones and requires security systems to be installed in those stores.

Roughly 140 city residents have federal firearms sales licenses, but 37 of those have city mercantile permits that allow them to sell things.
