PUBLIC COMMENTS
Priscilla Cunningham, 603 S. Hackett Road, shared that it is the law that individuals have a right to
fair housing. She listed the different ways she is facing discrimination with her eviction. She is
currently staying at a shelter and she is wanting someone to help her.
Leon Begay, 204 Baltimore, commented that she has been retaliated against by Martin Realtors for
complaining to the city about improvements that need to be made to her home. Many people that are
evicted and are living in shelters are facing additional barriers to getting back into housing. He also
pointed out that additional rental inspectors need to be hired to help with the rental -housing program.
Sarah Hill, 437 Cutler Street, shared that Priscilla came to the Getting Ahead group. She attended
the class and is now a facilitator and advocate. People are asking for a decent place to live but they
keep coming up against an LLC Group that is stopping people from getting what they need to live
decently. She explained they are asking for help.
Belinda Creighton -Smith, 416 Oliver, shared that she is speaking in support of Priscilla
Cunningham. The fact is that her home was not up to code and paid her rent on time but was evicted
nonetheless. Pressure needs to be put on prosecutors. The community needs the help of the city
council to help people who are oppressed and marginalized can be helped.
Patricia Washington shared that she is in a similar situation. She moved to Iowa in July. When she
moved in, she was not welcome. The neighbors were not friendly and the neighbors would continue
to trash the yard. She complained to Fischels Realty and they did nothing. She shared that she did
not feel safe at the location and Fischels Realty told her that she would be breaking her lease and
would not be getting her deposit back. She shared that her name has been black balled because
Fischels Realty said she owes them $1,000 and nobody wants to rent to her.
Mr. Feuss shared that Mr. Grieder is cancelling his forum tomorrow evening.
100873 - Feuss/Amos
that the above oral comments be received and placed on file. Voice vote -Ayes: Five. Motion
carried.
