would substitute two new housing sites for one of the original seven; mix some low-income homes with substantially alter the style and mix of the housing; rehabilitate some existing house; and create a organization to manage all the housing.
The original plan had called for 200 units of low-income public housing on sites scattered throughout mainly white neighborhoods and 800 units of middle-income subsidized housing scattered throughout Yonkers.
The fines Sand imposed on the city reached $1 million a day on Friday, forcing the layoffs of hundreds of workers that would have taken effect Saturday. Now, the fines and layoffs are on hold.

Officials question forest fire policy
The Associated Press
BOSE, IAHDE — After touring the fire-blackened West, Cabinet officials demanded that the federal government's "let-it-burn" policy be revised and promised to send 1,000 other soldiers to high wildfires.
On Sunday, Interior Secretary Donald Hodel, Agriculture Secretary Richard Lyng, deputy Defense Secretary William H. Taff IV and Police Officer Keith Busey, the Boise County Fire Center, which coordinates Western firefighting.
Earlier in the weekend the Cabinet members who were sent to the West by President Reagan, inspected fire damage in Yellowstone National Park.
"The most important thing is to concentrate our efforts on getting these fires under control and then out," Hodel said Sunday, "The old policy has to be reviewed and altered."
The 16-year-old policy allows fires ignited naturally to burn within wilderness areas and national parks unless they endanger people or property. Wildfires on conventional national forest or rangelands are fought with available resources, he said.
At *Old Faithful geyser*, Taft announced that two Marine battalions totaling 1,200 men from Camp Cook were deployed. The battalions would be dispatched to the firelines. The Pentagon has already ordered the U.S. military to help hard-pressed fire crews.
Some critics of the let-it-burn policy have suggested, said Malcolm Wulpun R-Wyo., have issued a resignation of National Park Service Director William Mott for adhering to his policies.
Rep. Richard Stallings, D-Idaho, has called for an "immediate and sweeping" re-evaluation by Congress of the Park Service's forest management.
Yellowstone has received a dusting of snow, slowing the spread of the blazes crisscrossing the park. However, the interior secretary said that forecasts of warm weather this week would bring the fires back to life.
The Boise Interagency manages supplies and personnel for large fires
involving overhead management teams. It has transported nearly 2.7 million pounds of equipment to the blazes this year at a total cost of about $11 million, said Sand Sacher, BFC fire information officer.
