Explanation
BACKGROUND: Ordinance No. 2083-2006, passed December 11, 2006, authorized the expenditure of $1,250,000 from the 2006 Capital Improvements Budget for the purpose of providing assistance to low income homeowners for the operation of the Housing Preservation Fund, Home Safe and Sound Roof Repair Plus! program. It has since been determined that only grants can be given under this program so it is necessary to change the Object Level Three listed in the ordinance.
Emergency action is requested so that program services can continue uninterrupted.
