Dear Ms. McDowell:
In answer to your inquiry as to what services the City
of Paris will provide to the Housing Authority of the City of
Paris, I wish to assure all interested persons that the City
of Paris continues to be committed to provide services in
accordance with paragraph five of the Cooperative Agreement
between the Housing Authority of the City of Paris, Texas,
and the City of Paris, Paris, Texas, dated March 7, 1950,
which in general terms is the same type, level and at the
same cost that public services and facilities are provided
the community-at-large.
In addition to this and during your pursuit of
modernization of your projects, pursuant to your request, the
City Council has unanimously approved waiver of permit fees
normally charged for remodeling work of this type; however,
permits must be secured through the City as usual and
inspections made. It is the desire and intent of the City
Council to ensure that the Housing Authority of the City of
Paris provide intergrated housing facilities with the
appropriate racial mix for low income and elderly citizens of
our community and to ensure that such facilities meet all
other Federal Requirements for Public Housing including
Section 504, Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
I commend you and your Commissioners for your efforts to
bring the public housing of Paris into compliance with
Federal Law.
Sincerely,
Eric S. Clifford
Mayor
