in May 2018.

This Ordinance will transfer funds in the amount of $5,773 from the City Planning and
Community Development Department’s professional services account, establish the
Downtown Historic Survey Part 2 Project, and budget and appropriate funds for the City’s
cash matching funds, if the grant is awarded. On September 28, 2018, the City submitted
to the SHF a planning and survey grant application requesting $20,616. If that grant is
awarded, then the City will contract with a consultant to complete part 2 of the Downtown
Historic Survey. The establishment of the Project and transfer of funds from the Planning
and Community Development Department will enable the City to have the funds available
in 2019 to complete the Project.

is awarded, and a grant contract between the City and SHF is executed. If awarded, the

appropriated at the time the contract is approved.
