PUBLIC HEARINGS
Amend 1993 Community Development Block Grant Program Mr
McDonald, Director of Community Development, addressed Council
and noted for the record that notice of the public hearing was
published as required by law
Mr McDonald explained that when the Block Grant Program was put
together for this year's program it was done with the understanding
that the City would receive approximately $370,000, however, the
amount received was increased by $175,000 These funds need to be
allocated before they can be spent and before the application will be
approved so the City can actually receive the funds
Staff has reviewed the allocation of the additional funds in light of the
proposals that were submitted last fall, along with a couple of other
needs that have since risen, and have made recommendation for the
additional funds on Exhibit A as attached to the proposed resolution
Staff is suggesting that the bulk of the funds be directed toward the
completion of the Senior Center, with some additional funding for the
revolving abatement fund in the amount of $14,000, funding for the
Recreation Specialist, funding for graffiti-removal, and funding for the
