Explanation
Background: Ordinance 0840-2011 authorized the Director of Development and other appropriate Directors of the City to enter into agreements and to take all actions necessary to expend $1,110,000 for pre-development and design of Phase1 of the American Addition neighborhood redevelopment. The same language should have been included in Ordinance 1200-2011, which authorized the Director of Development to enter into the Economic Development Agreement, in order to enter into agreements and to take all actions necessary to implement the American Addition Neighborhood Economic Development Agreement. This ordinance replaces language which references subsequent or future legislation being necessary to implement the EDA with language authorizing the appropriate Directors of the City to enter into agreements and take all actions necessary to implement the EDA.
Fiscal Impact: No funding is required for this legislation.
