SPECIAL ORDER OF BUSINESS:
Public Hearing - 3rd Year Final Small Cities Application under Title I
of the Housing and Community Act of 1977
At the request of Mayor Bordoni, Jasmine Lim, Community Development
Coordinator, gave a brief overview of the Small Cities Grant Applica-
tion. Originally, the city received funds from an Entitlement Grant
which was replaced by a three -year (1978 -1981) Small Cities Grant of
$650,000 each year. The three -year grant will be completed and no
further funds received after January 1982 unless the City submits a
new three -year application.
IURA member Jones asked for a Performance Report for the remains of
the last year of the three -year program grant.
Kathy Evans, Housing Specialist, referred to material which had been
handed out which listed projects S -100 and S -200, projects of the
first and second year Small Cities funding. She said that the goal of
the Small Cities Program is to spend as much as possible of the money
in the program year for which the money is received. Ninety -one
percent of the first -year funds have been spent. A project which has
not been completed is the AME Zion Church; also money remains in the
312 Program which got off to a slow start and for which there has not
been a great deal of demand.
Agency member Jones asked what justification there is for asking for
money for a third year for the 312 program for which a saleable method
has not been found.
Discussion followed.
