stricken from the agreement, and corrections will be made to the numbering of the Schedule.

All names are put on a waiting list, with approximately 400 names currently on the list.
Director Taylor asked about the 88 applicants that were on the waiting list for Angelus
Senior Housing.
Mr. Wagner stated that everyone from the Angelus list has been put on the Garvey list,
also. Mr. Wagner continued that as openings occur at Angelus, the management company
contacts the next person on the Angelus list. If they still meet all the qualifications, they are able
to move into Angelus.
Director Taylor asked if the residents living at Angelus will be allowed to move to
Garvey Senior Housing?
Steve Copenhaver, GRC Associates, replied that residents cannot move from one senior
housing to another.
Director Taylor asked about current citizenship requirements, primarily has the law been
changed, as asking about a person's citizenship was not allowed previously.
Mr. Wagner replied that the law has not changed. Mr. Wagner stated that the only
requirement is that the provide proof that they ae in the county legally.
Ms. Clark stated that the six -month residency requirement is too short. The City's
original intention was to provide housing for the seniors living in trailer parks that were being
evicted. Ms. Clark requested that the Corporation require as much seniority as possible — more
than the 6 months now required. Staff was directed to pose this "question to David Kroot, Special
Housing Counsel.
Mr. Copenhaver stated that those issues will be before the Corporation within the next
few months.
