HUD ENTITLEMENT GRANT ACTION PLAN 2012 REVIEW:
Melva Fast is preparing the Annual Action Plan for the HUD Entitlement Grant and the
Committee serves to review and recommend expenditures for the next year. A citizen survey in
September was distributed that requested input from neighborhood residen ts; sixty-four
responses were received. Based on the survey, a draft summary expenditure plan for the 2011
Action Plan was distributed. Anticipating $290,000 grant will be received next year ($50,000 –
Homeowner Assistance; $80,000 – Neighborhood Improvements; $110,000 – Public
Improvements; $50,000 - Administration). A motion by Scrivner and a second by Harvey to
accept the proposed plan, passed unanimously.

Charter Provisions Bill was sent to the Charter Commission members. Three responded to
Hilpert. One of the three wrote a letter and was not in favor. Th e other two were generally
positive, but confused by the police hiring process. Hilpert is sending more information to each
of them and will bring back responses next month.
TEMPORARY BUSINESS LICENSE AND DOOR TO DOOR SALES BILL:
This replaces Peddler’s and Hawkers License with Door-To-Door and Temporary Licenses. This
