Recommendation of the Community Development Committee on 4-28-14: That the request of the Director of City Development that Local Option funds be used to fill a shortfall in the 2014 CDBG grant be approved so that the allocations on the table attached to item 14-9964 are fully funded.
Further recommends that the unanticipated additional Emergency Solutions Grant funding received by the city be allocated to United Way of Racine County as shown on the table attached to item 14-9964.
Fiscal Note: $129,974 in Local Option funds will be used to fill the shortfall. There are sufficient funds in the Local Option account.

United Way will allocate the additional funds consistent with the consortium's grant application for the funds.
