Although, the $373,000 budget may appear to represent an extra- ordinary increase in expenditures, this budget really reflects a slight increase over previous support levels. The reason for this is that pre- viously our Innovative Grant provided in excess of $50,000 to support "Project Rebate." This year, we have included an expanded version of Rebate in the scope of CDBG funded activities.to be undertaken by BOH Consequently, we have found the need to retain approximately the same level of staff support to efficiently execute the expanded activity. Other budgetary increases are the result of the addition of new line items for acquisition /disposition expenses related to Homesteading, South Bend Home Improvement Loan, and the 312 Loan Program. Also gasoline and vehicle maintenance expenses previously not included in BOH budgets are now included. We believe this budget is necessary for the effective administration of our housing activities. We urge your favorable consideration of this ordinance. CE /br Attachment CC: Jon R.
