Council looks into
action on 1 Moss
City votes $5,000
to food program
IDGIUAND PARK - The Highland Park City Council voted
5,000 to a local food program called Operation Feed ALL.
Council President Pro Tern Christine Franklin said, "1 hope
we don't come to the next meeting to find that this contribution
has not been made." '
When asked what she meant by the statement, Franklin told
the Michigan Citizen that the Highland Park Finance Depart­
ment had failed to honor allocations the city council made in
the past. She charged the Finance Department failed to give
$15,000 for minor home repairs the city council allocated in the
cold winter of 1992.
She said the City Treasurer said the money was there for the
Operation Feed ALL funding. If the Finance Department dis­
agrees, she added, finance officials should tell the city council.
Finance Department officials' could not be r ached for a
ponse by the time of this deadline.
Council considers

IDGID...AND PARK - The Highland Park City Council voted

IDGIUAND PARK - The Highland Park City Council voted
to hold a closed meeting exploring legal actions they could take
to get back taxes and bills from 11 Moss.
Councilwoman Greta Johnson also called on the police sec­
tion of the Public Safety Department to monitor crime in the
tires. One area resident told the Michigan Citizen that there
was a hooting in the building most Saturday nights. He added
that one night a car outside the house blared its radio so loud
he could hear it in his home on the middle of the block.
Both area residents and city officials, including Mayor Lin­
sey Porter and Council President Dwight Downes, have said
the building is a slum.
Council President Pro Tern Christine Franklin stated those
who live there are in danger because of the poor conditions
there. She said that experts have told her that repairs could not
be done on a piecemeal basis. Residents would have to leave
temporarily while the building was brought up to code, she said,
