Discussion -Sr. Citizen Housing Discussion was had on Trustee Gavin's suggestion
that a committee be appointed to review possible
sites for senior citizen housing. 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.
