Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes additional funding in the amount of $200,000.00 for the Urban Infrastructure Recovery Fund (UIRF) right-of-way acquisition contingency fund and authorizes the City Attorney to expend said funds to acquire small parcels of additional right-of-way for miscellaneous UIRF projects and for other UIRF right-of-way expenses.
This project is funded by the Urban Infrastructure Recovery Fund (UIRF). UIRF projects are developed as the result of a partnership between City staff in multiple departments and community stakeholders in central city urban areas.
