Item No. 9 <br />memorandum <br />TO: Mayor & City Council <br />FROM: John Godwin, City Manager <br />SUBJECT: HOME GRANT PROGRAM <br />DATE: April 6, 2016 <br />BACKGROUND: Paris has participated in the HOME program for many years, demolishing <br />substandard homes and replacing them with new ones. This is one of the best grant programs we <br />offer, simultaneously enhancing local housing stock while improving the quality of life for <br />citizens each year. <br />STATUS OF ISSUE: State and federal regulations require that the city council periodically pass <br />a resolution authorizing the city's participation in the program and also authorizing the city <br />manager to execute agreements as required. We typically achieve our required local match <br />through waiving of fees, in -kind work, etc. <br />BUDGET: Funding is available. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Approve attached resolution. <br />
