She said suitable sites are rapidly disappearing and the appointment of a committee would get a different segment of the community in- volved in determining the need for such housing. It was pointed out that although private citizens might find possible sites, a developer would be needed who might prefer to do his own exploration of potential sites. Mr. Stucko stated the committee must not be given a charge that would interfere with the framework of the Plan Commission and the Zoning Ordinance. It was his opinion that a developer would want to seek out sites. Mrs. Laura Lee Christoph, Evergreen Place, stated.that, under HUD regulations, one could not be sure that occupants of senior citizen housing would be from Deerfield, and asked how may local residents would qualify on the basis of income. She said Highland Park is holding a lottery for qualified applicants with no assurance that Highland Park residents will be given preference. President Forrest said the Village could create a Deerfield Housing Authority, issue long term bonds, and set its own rules. Trustee Gavin said people could look into alternative solutions. The President and Trustee Gavin will meet for discussion, and the matter will be on the agenda for the next meeting. Discussion - Ordinance Discussion was had on the ordinance providing Auctioneer Licensing for the licensing and regulation of auctioneers which has been prepared by Mr. Stucko. Trustee Blumenthal stated the intent was to keep auctioneers from taking sales from local merchants. The manager said he has written to the Secretary of State regarding the payment of sales tax from the auctioneer who will conduct the sale of merchandise from the bankrupt camera shop. Trustee Heisler said that Mr. Robert York, Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, was upset by the auction, but he did not feel this was a problem, and would like to see whether the proposed ordinance is consistent with what other communities are doing with regard to regulation of auctioneers. Trustee Blumenthal suggested the matter be put on the agenda for a workshop meeting. 156 Clerk's Reports The clerk reported that Sterling Codi- fiers had notified her by letter that the pages to update the Municipal Code will be printed on June 23rd and should be received by the Village by the 1st of July.
