Scope and Content Note

This series consists of the Task Force's unpublished report to the Governor and Legislature. The report is organized into two "volumes." Volume I (8 pages) contains a summary of the Task Force's work and lists its findings and recommendations.

The recommendations included: program changes to reduce UDC's financial obligations; increased state supervision of UDC management and direction; establishment of a project loss reserve fund to increase private investor confidence in the UDC; and development of a comprehensive state housing and community development policy.

Volume II contains the background papers developed for the Task Force on questions concerning the UDC, including comments of UDC officials, upon which the findings and recommendations were based. The materials cover such issues as: UDC financial background and analysis; role of the Board of Directors; residential project development procedures; short-term and 50-year cash flow; commercial projects; industrial projects; and civic projects.

The series contains two copies of the report. Most of the material is duplicated in the two copies, but each copy contains some material not present in the other copy.
