"Ir. Tlascara briefly commented on two areas of concern which appeared
on the agenda - Redevelopment and CETA. He stated that the Redevelopment
Authority resolutions concerning the Dynamet Project (funded by UDAG) are
a classic example of the kind of programs that will be affected by President
Reagan°s austerity program in cutbacks. He stated that this program is a
classic example of the kind of cooperation we should have between the private
sector and the public sector.
Mr. T3ascara also stated that he and Commissioner Gilmore learned while
attending the NACo Conference in Washington D.C. that there will he approxi-
mately $700,000 of additional cuts in the CETA training programs.
Aleeting adjourned at 10:15 a.m.
