7 Action Plan that describes generally how the jurisdiction proposes to use Community
8 Development Block Grant (CDBG), Home Investment Partnership (HOME) program, and
9 Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) program funds; and
10 WHEREAS, amendments or changes to the Action Plan can only be made through the
11
City's adopted Substantial Amendment/Citizen Participation Process, which requires that the
12
entire text of the proposed amendment be made available for reasonable public review and a
13
comment period; and

WHEREAS, the following projects are proposed to be added to the 2014-2015 Action
15
16 Plan by substantial amendment:
17 1. Demolition Program- $282,419 Requested Funding
18 The Demolition Program will be responsible for the abatement of vacant/abandoned
19 and fire-damaged structures. There is an abundance of fire-damaged structures
20 within the City. These structures increase blight in neighborhoods, create unsafe and
21 hazardous conditions, and they need to be demolished. The Department's plan is to
22 demolish eighteen (18) structures for the remainder of this fiscal year, averaging
23
three (3) per month.

14 program will focus on reducing blight, educating and empowering residents on how to
15 revive their property, and boarding-up unsafe and damaged properties. Through this
