Expansion of Housing Area-UDAG
Susan Moyer, acting Planning, Economic and Community Development
Director is requesting that the boundaries of our UDAG Housing
Area be expanded to include the east and west north areas of our
community. The purpose of the expansion is to allow for eligible
first time home buyers to expand their search for residential
investment into a larger area, thus increasing the inventory of
housing opportunities for the eligible applicants of the program.
After discussing Moyer's request at the last work session, there
appeared to be consensus that the boundaries should be adjusted
to include the entire community.
Williams recommended that council open the housing area for
units served with UDAG income to the entire community.
Larson moved the boundaries of the UDAG housing area be adjusted
to reflect the entire city so that units served with UDAG income
would be available in the whole community. The motion was
seconded.
Upon vote the motion carried.

which the City no longer has
detailed
records. Continued
efforts will be made to attempt to collect
the debt except in those cases where the customer has
filed for
bankruptcy.
Atkinson moved to authorize the city manager to write off the bad
debts from the sewer and water utility in the amount of
$38,369.44. The motion was seconded.
The motion carried with a vote.
