KILL ITALICS AFTER 7:45 DAYTON COUNCIL OPPOSED TO DCDC GRANT AS WRITTEN 4. 7. 2010
WE'VE HAD A COUPLE OF STORIES ON A PROPOSED $90,000 MATCHING GRANT FROM THE DAYTON COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION TO ASSIST WITH THE PURCHASE OF LAND IN DOWNTOWN DAYTON FOR WHAT WOULD BE THE PATEL MEDICAL CENTER FACILITY. THE GRANT HAS ALREADY BEEN APPROVED BY THE DCDC BOARD AND WAS AWAITING RATIFICATION BY COUNCIL. AT MONDAY NIGHT'S MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL, DCDC EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR CHRIS POTTER APPEARED TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE GRANT. BUT MAYOR STEVE STEPHENS, AND COUNCILMAN BILL GAY EXPRESSED SOME CONCERNS ABOUT THE GRANT. THE MAYOR, IN PARTICULAR, SAID HE HAS CONCERNS ABOUT PROVIDING A BUSINESS A GRANT TO ASSIST IN THE PURCHASE OF LAND. CHRIS POTTER SAID THE PATEL MEDICAL CENTER WOULD BE BUILT ON THE TRACT OF LAND THAT ONCE WAS THE LOCATION OF THE OLD DAYTON STATE BANK'S MOTOR BANK FACILITY. THE GRANT WOULD COVER HALF THE COSTS OF THAT LAND, WITH THE PATEL FAMILY PROVIDING THE REST. POTTER SAID THE GRANT WOULD BE SECURED THROUGH A SECOND LIEN ON THE PROPERTY. BUT STEPHENS persisted in saying HE HAD CONCERNS ABOUT GIVING A DCDC GRANT TO ACQUIRE PROPERTY. BILL GAY SAID HE also HAD CONCERNS ABOUT SETTING A PRECEDENT ON USING GRANT FUNDS FOR LAND ACQUISITION, IN THE FEAR THAT THE DCDC MIGHT BE FLOODED WITH SIMILAR REQUESTS. MAYOR STEPHENS SAID HE WOULD MUCH PREFER GIVING THE GRANT FUNDS TOWARD SOME ASPECT OF THE CONSTRUCTION. COUNCIL ASKED POTTER TO GO BACK TO THE PATEL FAMILY AND RESTRUCTURE THE GRANT REQUEST SO THAT THE FUNDS COULD BE USED ON BUILDING CONSTRUCTION RATHER THAN LAND ACQUISITION. |
