Our city would like to set aside $63,637 of our pass through dollars for housing repair for our residents in this coming year.

We also understand that 15% of the funds we set aside will be used for housing repair program delivery costs (such as construction management). We understand there is a $50,000 minimum for capital projects with allocations of $100,000 or more encouraged. Q k� Signature of Mayor or City Manag'r 01(1P10.
