LT ECKF, MAYOR <br />COMMUNITY coy- E cONOMic DEVELOPMENT <br />JEFFREY V DISNEY <br />EXECUTIVE. DIRECTOR <br />November 9, 2009 <br />Mr. Derek Dieter <br />President, South Bend Common Council <br />0 Floor County -City Building <br />South Bend, IN 46601 <br />Dear President Dieter: <br />The attached bill for Council consideration and approval will amend the NSP <br />appropriation ordinance #9924 -09 which the Council passed on May 12, 2009 There is no <br />change to the overall appropriation however certain project allocations are being adjusted. The <br />amendment ONLY changes the dollar amounts for each activity type. It DOES NOT <br />change the geography, the eligible activities, or partner agencies. <br />This bill revises the May 12, 2009 NSP ordinance by: <br />Reduction in the number of properties impacted through acquisition and rehabilitation <br />(from 9 to 5); with a corresponding reduction from $1,350,000 to $900,000 for this <br />activity. <br />Increase in the number of properties impacted through the redevelop demolished or <br />vacant properties - new construction and Dollar Houses — (from 4 to 9); with a <br />corresponding increase from $800,000 to $1,250,000 allocated for this activity. <br />® Due to a rounding error, $1 will be removed from Activity Five - Planning and <br />Administrative Costs — modifying the total allocated amount to $359,999, and $1 will <br />be placed in Activity One - Pennanent Rental Housing for Special Need Populations --- <br />modifying the amount allocated for this activity to $1,024,631. <br />As was indicated in m presentation and rnenlo provided to the Council on October 26, <br />2009, these changes are recommended after consultation with HUD. While initially developing <br />the proposal for NSP funds, the City wished to address soine of the properties it owns through <br />the Dollar House Program.. This was due to three factors: (1) many are located within the NSP <br />target area, (2) the program implementation is part of the existing partnership between the City <br />and the NNN and SBHF who are also NSP sub - grantees and, (3) there are limited City resources <br />ComN uNmf DFvELp1 ECONOMIC DTVT-,L0PnleNx FINANCIAL & PROGRAM <br />T�� N,t�[) E l`,Ks r✓I N"I GHMFENT <br />L AUELA C - MEYER M6]'2R E r <br />5 ?4!235 -9660 5741235-9371 F.LId.P.9ETH LEONARD <br />v' <br />PAx: 574!235 -9697 h 574/235 -9375 _ w <br />
