She noted that the entitlement was reduced, and that the City would receive approximately $200, 000 less than last year. She said that further cutbacks may be made in the future, therefore the proposed budget was prepared to allow for some flexibility. Mrs. Bauer stated that there were $900, 000 of requested programs. She explained that in reviewing the requests two major criteria were applied: (1) would jobs be created; and (2) housing rehabilitation.
