Jefferson Blvd., Suite 400 <br />South Bend, IN 46601 <br />Dear President Deiter: <br />The attached bill for Council consideration and approval will amend the CDBG <br />appropriation ordinance #9877-08 which the Council passed on November 10, 2008. The overall <br />appropriation is being increased by $130,000, and certain project allocations are being adjusted <br />and reduced. This is a companion bill to the CDBG-R ordinance also being sl~bmitted at this <br />same time. This bill revises the November 2008 CDBG ordinance by: <br />1) Adding the increased award amount of $130,000 <br />2) Reducing the allocation to Code Enforcement for the Demolition of Vacant <br />and Abandoned properties <br />3) Deleting funding for the Dunbar Corner Rehab (which is covered under the <br />CDBG-R ordinance) <br />4) Adding the rehab of (1) Hansel Center for the Notre Dame Center for Arts <br />and Culture, and (2) former Engman Natatorium. As the Civil Rights <br />Heritage Center <br />As was indicated in my email to the Council on June 23, 2009 and in my meetings with <br />some Council members, these changes are recommended after consultation with HUD based on <br />the funding best suited for each project. Additionally, these changes were the subject of a <br />Tribune notice on June 24L", a 30 day public comment period that ran from June 25`~ to July 24~', <br />and a public hearing held on July 7, 2009. <br />Should there be any questions on this bill please contact me at 235-5845. I will be <br />present to address this issue at the September 14, 2009 meeting. Thank you. <br />Since~ly, <br />lr~ <br />~~~ ~ ~ ~C~ <br />Pa era (;.~ <br />Director / ~(~~C~ t1 ~~~'C~q'~ ~~~~~ld <br />cc: Jeff Gibney, Catherine FanellolGregg Zientara, Iohn March, Judy Rosheck i ' AUG 1 <br />2CC9 <br />COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT <br />PP.~fELA C.
