This appropriation, combined with <br /> the $3,539,000 already appropriated for year three, will give us approximately $4,900,000 <br /> for a variety of neighborhood programs and projects. <br /> Since 1992, the Administration and Council have worked together to find funds for <br /> neighborhood improvement projects and programs. The additional $1,350,000 will enable <br /> the City and its partners to continue several existing improvement programs and to initiate <br /> several new projects. We will provide the Council with additional information during the <br /> Council's Community and Economic Development Committee and Council meetings on each <br /> proposed project. However, I would like to highlight several of the projects and programs <br /> that are being proposed for funding in this appropriation bill. The projects and programs to <br /> be funded include: <br /> • NEIGHBORHOOD PUBLIC WORKS PROGRAM: We are proposing that a total of <br /> $950,000 be appropriated to continue our homeowner curb and sidewalk program for <br /> 1995. This cost-sharing program to reconstruct damaged curbs and sidewalks assisted <br /> almost 600 homeowners in 1994. We anticipate assisting an additional 600 <br /> homeowners in 1995.
