<br />Ms. Watson supplied a chart with the history from 1999 to 2008, of the CDBG allocations <br />which were categorized as follows: <br /> <br />CODE ENFORCEMENT <br />PUBLIC SERVICE <br />Food for the Homeless <br />Police <br />Scholarships <br />REHABILITATION OF PRIVATE PROPERTY <br />Home Rehabilitation Administration <br />Private Property Rehabilitation <br />STREET IMPROVEMENTS <br />Streets, Sidewalks and Alleys <br />Tree Removal/Planting <br /> <br />Mr. Glickert asked Ms. Watson for the historical tracking on the "scholarship" category. He <br />would like to know what kind of scholarship was being offered and the history of the <br />recipients. <br /> <br />Mr. Price asked Ms. Watson for the amount that was allocated for streets and sidewalks. <br />He felt that if the amount was not large enough to do anything of notable significance, it <br />would be better in another area. <br /> <br />Food for the Homeless at Mt. Gideon had not qualified under the CDBG guidelines last <br />year, so a $4,000 line item was added to the General Fund budget for FY 08. This will be <br />discussed in the Budget Study sessions this year for the FY 09. <br /> <br />Mr. Price asked for additional explanation and history in areas as Code Enforcement and <br />Police. <br /> <br />Council also requested a history of the Home Improvement loan program of University City <br />for those with low income. They had a concern that the program usually did not have any <br />available funds. <br />
