REGULAR MEETING APRIL 25, 2011 these changes are being submitted in an effort to implement a plan to better position the City and subgrantee agencies to expend all of the HPRP dollars by the three year deadline of July 2012. She noted that the changes speak to an actual change in service provisions from Madison Center to Oaklawn; the pattern of higher investment costs per client than originally projected so an increase in the financial assistance dollars; the actual contractual cost of data collection; and small increases in YSB and CFTH administrative dollars. Ms. Meyer stated that per the Housing and Community Development Plan and HPRP regulations, a 12 day comment period to review the changes to the HPRP Substantial Amendment occurred from March 28, 2011 through April 9, 2011. A copy of this amendment was also available on the City’s website. Councilmember Rouse asked is there was a matrix of various funds and the shifts.
