from Bert Gottsacker of Woodburn was presented to Council, stating he believes there was a
violation of Measure 56 when the Woodburn Development Ordinance was adopted and that
it may affect the corridor plan. Councilor Cox asked the City Attorney if the measure 56
notice was adequate and City Attorney Shields stated that he doesn’t have any concerns with
it at this time and that he will take another look at it and let Council know if he sees a
problem with it. Councilor Schmidt asked about Silverton Road and what plans are in place
for that intersection. Public Works Director Brown answered that ODOT is currently
working on a project to do interim improvements to the Young Street intersection to pull
back the corners and broaden the radius for trucks and making improvements for pedestrian
traffic and stated it is hard to say how it will tie in to the final 99E widening right now.
Councilor Schmidt asked what trucks will do if they are going in and out of Long Bros. if
they close off Silverton Road and Director Brown answered that there are no plans to close
any roads and that the road closures that Director Hendryx references in the long range plans
areif that area were to be redeveloped.Don Kelly, a lawyer who represents BrucePac,

ADJOURNMENT
1:42
Before adjournment of the meeting Councilor Pugh wanted to bring it to the attention of
other Council members that houses owned by banks have a problem with overgrown grass
and they need to have the banks obey the law. Councilor McCallum stated that was one of
the legislative goals last year, unfortunately the legislator did not take action. Councilor
Cox stated that we have a right to enforce our ordinance and take care of it then file a lien
against the property which is a lot of work. Chief Russell stated that there is a new game in
town, where no one owns the property. Code enforcement contacts the County Assessor’s
office to find the owner and that owner is gone and the bank of record says they don’t own
it. Chief Russell states that they try to mow the most egregious properties but if they tried to
mow all of them they could easily wipe out the discretionary budget. Councilor Pugh says
that the banks aren’t taking care of the homes that are under foreclosure. Councilor Cox

Agenda Item
August 13, 2012
TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:N. Robert Shields, City Attorney
Jim Hendryx, Economic & Development Services Director
SUBJECT:
RevisedPublic Art Mural Ordinance
:
RECOMMENDATION
1.Amend Ordinance 2487, the proposed Public Art Mural Ordinance, to
include the changes made by staff in response to the City Council
discussion at the June 25, 2012 meeting.
2.Adopt Ordinance 2487,the Public Art Mural Ordinance.
:
BACKGROUND
At the November 14, 2011 City Council meeting, the Economic and Community
Development Director made an informational presentation on murals. Interested
members of the public appeared and addressed the Council. The Council then
directed the City Attorney to prepare a legal opinion thatitcould use as a
guide to further assess this topic.
On January 30, 2012 the City Attorney issued Memorandum Opinion No. 2012-01
(attached) regarding the legal restrictions on the City permitting and displaying
murals.
At the February 27, 2012City Council meeting, the establishment of a mural
program was again discussed. Two options were presented.The first option
involved issuance of permits for privately held murals. The second option
involved the creation of a public art mural program. After discussion, the
Council referred the issue back to staff for a more extensive evaluation of the
second option. Staff was further directed to return to the Council with a
proposed public mural program.
On June 25, 2012, the City Council discussed Ordinance 2487,the PublicArt
Mural Ordinance, and heard testimony from interested parties. Based upon the
Council discussion, staff was directed to make certain modifications to the
Agenda Item Review:City Administrator __x____City Attorney __x____Finance __x___

proposed ordinance, circulate a draft to interested parties, and present the
revised ordinance ata future council meeting.
:
DISCUSSION
In response to the City Council’s direction, staff made certain changes to the
Public Art Mural Ordinance. They are summarized as follows:
The third “whereas”clausewas added to explain that the
ordinance will not limit “speech” but will instead provide a vehicle
for “government speech” through the display of public art murals.
Section 3 (C) is amended, as directed by the City Council, to allow
the two “expert” committee members to reside outside of the
Woodburn City limits. This was based on the concern that it could
be difficult to find committee members with specialized art
expertise who reside within the City.
Section 5 (E) was amended to state that meetings of the
committee be convened by its Chair or the Economic and
Development Services Director.
Section 7 (A) (10) is amended to change the term “accessible” to
“visible.” This modification was suggested in the public testimony
and agreed to in Council discussion.
Section 9 was amended to change the application fee from $1,148
to $500. The fee was reduced based upon the City Council
consensus that it was too high. The fee may be adjusted in the
future as part of adoption of the Master Fee Schedule.
Section 10 was added to allow for the automatic renewal of the
public art mural easement in seven year increments unless one of
the parties wants to terminate the easement at the end of a seven
year period. This change was made in response to the City Council
discussion and public testimony.
Section 11 was added so that, with the City’s written consent, the
building owner may terminate the public art mural easement for
certain specified reasons.
18
Honorable Mayor and City Council
August 13, 2012
Page 3
Section 12 was added to clarifythat the City has the right to
terminate the Public Art Mural Easement Agreement for any
material violation of the Public Art Mural Easement Agreement.
Section 13 was modified to simplify the newspaper notice
requirement for the public art mural application hearing. The
requirement to publish a “preliminary sketch” was eliminated.
Instead, interested parties are advisedthat a copy of the
application is available for review at city hall. This change will
significantly reduce the expense of the public notice.
In addition to the ordinance, a draft of a Public Art Mural Easement Agreement
is included for your review. This document will be used to implement the
ordinance once it is adopted by the City Council.

MEMORANDUM OPINION NO. 2012-01

RE: Permitting and Displaying Murals
Background
During the November 14, 2011 City Council meeting, my office was asked to provide an opinion
regarding the legal restrictions on permitting and displaying murals within the City. The
following opinion was generated in response to this request. It is intended to provide general
legal parameters as the City Council approaches this topic. It is anticipated that additional legal
questions will arise as planning staff and the City Council more specifically consider the
involved policy choices.
Question #1
Can the City regulate or display murals?
Answer #1
Yes, subject to the discussion below.
Question #2
In what manner can the City regulate or display murals and can the City control content?
Answer #2
A.The City (acting as a “regulator”) may issue permits for privately owned murals but may
only regulate the time, place, and manner of installation and may not control or restrict
content.
B.The City (acting as a “patron of the arts”) may display public murals in spaces that it
either already owns or acquires. The City, as owner of the artwork, may control the
1
20
content of public murals based upon predetermined selection criteria established by the
City.
Discussion
Preliminarily, it should be stated that it is clear that the City’s ability to regulate murals is subject
to Oregon State Constitutional requirements. Some observers have cited Toppenish, Washington
as a jurisdiction whose approach to murals should be emulated by Woodburn. This is not legally
possible because Toppenish is not subject to the same Oregon constitutional restrictions that
Woodburn must comply with. Toppenish is subject to Washington legal requirements, which are
significantly different in this context than what is required by Oregon law.
A.The City (acting as a “regulator”) may issue permits for privately owned murals but may
only regulate the time, place, and manner of installation and may not control or restrict
content.
Article I, Section 8 of the Oregon Constitution provides broad protection for the free speech
rights of all Oregonians. In Outdoor Media Dimension Inc. v. ODOT, 340 Or 275 (2006), the
Oregon Supreme Court ruled that signs may not be regulated based upon content. Murals are
types of signs.
Specifically, the Woodburn Development Ordinance (“the WDO”) defines “signs” as:
Materials placed or constructed, or light projected, that (1) conveys a message or
image and (2) is used to inform or attract the attention of the public. Some
examples of signs are materials or lights meeting this definition are commonly
murals
referred to as signs, placards, A-frame signs, posters, billboards, ,
diagrams, banners, flags, or projected slides, images or holograms. The scope of
the term “sign” does not depend on the content of the message or image
(emphasis added)
conveyed. **** WDO 3.110.04
Legally, the WDO cannot regulate any signs based upon their content. All WDO requirements
address the time, place, and manner of establishing a sign within the City. Generally, these
regulations focus on size, number, and location of signs on a property.
Oregon courts have found reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions on signs to be valid
under the Oregon Constitution. See Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. v. City of Portland, 243
Or.App. 133, 151–56 (2011). Such restrictions must be “content-neutral”. In other words, the
restrictions must apply regardless of what the sign conveys.
Some examples of likely valid content-neutral restrictions on murals are: limits on size and
location, construction materials, mandatory display time, and public notice requirements. For
instance, the City of Portland (see Attachment 1) has a program where it issues permits for
privately owned “Original Art Murals” that meet certain regulations. These regulations are
content-neutral but limit the size of murals (30 feet in height), how materials are applied (must
be hand-produced), type of materials included (no mechanical or electrical components), and the
2
21
display time (must remain in place for 5 years). Also, a neighborhood meeting is required to
notify nearby property owners. If a property owner meets these requirements, then a mural
permit must be issued.
The Portland program encourages murals containing original art. Under the Oregon
Constitution, however, the City cannot control the content of the mural and there is always a risk
that a mural will contain content (i.e., graphic content or a written message) that would be
objectionable to the surrounding community. Also, since the Oregon Constitution protects
commercial and non-commercial speech equally, there is another risk that a mural will contain
advertising. Even though, in Oregon, these risks are present with any type of sign, murals are
usually larger, more permanent, and more visible than other types of signs.
B.The City (acting as a “patron of the arts”) may display public murals in spaces that it
either already owns or acquires. The City, as owner of the artwork, may control the
content of public murals based upon predetermined selection criteria established by the
City.
Constitutionally, when the City changes its legal role to act as a “patron of the arts” by
displaying publicly owned murals, the City, as the owner of the artwork, can exercise control
over content. Recently, in Pleasant Grove City, Utah v. Summum, 555 U.S. 460 (2009), the
United States Supreme Court held that a municipality could reject a Seven Aphorisms of
Summum public monument and instead display a Ten Commandments public monument in a
public park.
government speech
What must be emphasized is that the Pleasant Grove City case involved and
government regulation (
noti.e., the City deciding what type of publicly owned art to display v.
the City regulating privately owned art).
In regard to publicly owned murals, some Oregon cities have programs for the purchase or
financial support of public art. For instance, the City of Salem (see Attachment 2) has such a
program. In Salem, the City Council dedicated one-half of one percent of the total cost of
improvement projects to fund a Public Art Trust Fund. The Salem Public Art Commission was
then established and given authority to administer this fund. The acquisition of public artwork
(including public murals) is based on predetermined selection criteria established by the City.
However, even in the “government speech” context, the United States Supreme Court has stated
that a government entity can still be sued for “direct viewpoint discrimination” where public
funding is allocated and established general standards are not followed.National Endowment for
the Arts v. Finley, 524 US 569 (1998).
Summary
The City (acting as a “regulator”) may issue permits for privately owned murals but may only
regulate the time, place, and manner of installation and may not control or restrict content. If the
City Council decides to pursue this course, this would involve:
Amendment to the Woodburn Development Ordinance
3
22
Recognition that the City cannot regulate content (i.e., the subject matter or message of
the mural)
The City (acting as a “patron of the arts”) may display public murals in spaces that it either
already owns or acquires. The City, as owner of the artwork, may control the content of public
murals. If the City Council decides to pursue this course, this would involve:
A funding source to establish a trust fund
Establishment of a process for the acquisition of public murals based upon predetermined
selection criteria
Passage of a Public Murals Ordinance

5.104.02.B.3.
Page 1 of 7
66
Findings: Section 5.104.02.B.4 provides that “Amendments to the comprehensive plan and land
use standards which significantly affect a transportation facility shall ensure that allowed land
uses are consistent with the function, capacity, and level of service of the facility identified in the
Transportation System Plan.” The traffic generated by the former Goodwill was approximately
th
53-58 average daily trips (Trip Generation, 7 Edition, published by the Institute of
Transportation Engineers.) The traffic generated by the proposed development is approximately
41-55 average daily trips. The proposed development is not anticipated to significantly affect the
abutting Major Arterial, N. Pacific Highway.
Conclusion: The proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment complies with Section
5.104.02.B.4.
5.104.04Zoning Map Change, Owner Initiated

System Plan. The proposed development is not anticipated to significantly affect the abutting
Major Arterial, N. Pacific Highway.
Conclusion: Section 5.104.04.B.3 does not apply to the proposed zone change.
WDO 2.106 Commercial General (CG) district standards
Finding: Section 2.106.03.G.1lists automotive maintenance as a conditional use in the
Commercial General (CG) zone.
Conclusion: The proposed facility is allowed by conditional use in the CG zone.
Findings:Table 2.1.10 provides that the lot area for a non-residential use shall be adequate to
contain all structures within the required setbacks, with no minimum width or depth. The
existingstructure is 13,780 square feet in area. The lot area shown in the property tax records is
49,827 square feet.
Page 2 of 7
67
Conclusions:The lot is adequate to contain all structures within the required setbacks, and
would be conforming in the CG zone.
Findings:Section 2.106.05.C.1.a.1 provides that “The minimum setback abutting a street shall be
15feet plus any Special Setback.” The structureislocated approximately 120feet from the front
lot line.
Conclusion:The proposed development meets the required front setback.
Findings:Side and rear setbacks are set by Table 2.1.11:
TABLE 2.1.11Interior Yard and Buffer Standards for CG Zones
Abutting PropertyInterior Setback
CO, CG, DDC, NNC, P/SP, IP, Alternative A: 5 ft.
SWIR or IL zoneAlternative B: Zero setback abutting a building wall.
The building is at least 10 feet from the side lot lines.
The building appears to encroach approximately 8 feet onto the abutting property to the west.
Survey 32990 was performed to adjust the western lot line an additional 30 feet to the west, but a
survey does not convey ownership. The deeds submitted with the application do not reflect the
30 foot property line adjustment. The additional 30 feet was not apparently transferred by deed.
Conclusions: The proposed use meets the required side setback, but not the rear setback. This
could be cured by recording a deed consistent with Survey 32990.
WDO 3.104 Access
Findings:Section 3.104.01.B.1 provides that “A City permit shall be required for any new or
modified vehicular access to a street that is under City jurisdiction.”The project does not
include a new vehicular access or modifications to the existing access points.Pacific Highway is
an ODOT facility and is not under City jurisdiction.
Conclusion:An access permit from the City is not required.
WDO 3.105 Off-Street Parking and Loading
Findings: Section 3.105.01.B provides that any additional parking and/or loading necessary to
accommodate a change ofuse that shall conform all (for a Type III Design Review) or a
proportion (for a Type II Design Review) of parking, loading and landscaping for the subject use
to the standards of the WDO. The proposed development does not, at this point, expand the
building. Section 5.101.02.B.2.e provides that establishment of a use in a building vacant for 6
months or more is a Type I Design Review.
Conclusions: The proposed development is not an expansion of an existing use ora new
building, and is not subject to Type II or III Design Review. The standards of Section 3.105 do
not apply to the existing parking lot.
Page 3 of 7
68
Findings:Table 3.1.2 gives the requiredoff-street parking ratio. Property tax records indicate
that the existing building has 13,780 square feet of gross floor area. A total of 62 parking spaces
are provided.The applicant reports that he intends to establish 15 service bays, but no pump
islands or retail area.

square feet of gross floor area (sfgfa)
13Motor vehicle service …1.0/ 200 retail sfgfa + 3.0/ service bay +
B Automotive repair & maintenance1.0/ pump island
Conclusions:The proposed development requires 45off-street parking spaces. The proposed
development meets the standard of Table 3.1.2.
Findings: Section 3.105.02.E.2 provides that off-street vehicle parking shall not exceed 2.0 times
the amount required in Table 3.1.2. The proposed development requires 45 off-street parking
spaces. The maximum parking that could be provided is 90 spaces. A total of 62 parking spaces
is provided.
Conclusions: The proposed development complies with Section 3.105.02.E.2.
Findings: Section 3.105.02.E.3 provides that “The number of disabled person vehicle parking
spaces shall be provided to the standards of the state Building Code and applicable federal
standards.” The state requirements are codified in ORS 447.233.
The number of accessible parking spaces shall be:
Total Parking inRequired Minimum Number Required Minimum Number of Van
Lotof Accessible SpacesAccessible Spaces
51 to 7531
[ORS 447.233(2)(a)]
A total of 62 parking spaces are provided, including 1 van- and two car-accessible spaces.
Conclusions:The proposed development meets the requirements of ORS 447.233(2)(a).
Findings:Section 3.105.02.F provides that a maximum of 20 percent of the required vehicle
parking spaces may be satisfied by compact vehicle parking spaces.The site plan shows no
compact vehicle parking spaces.
Conclusion: The proposed development complies with Section 3.105.02.F.
Page 4 of 7
69
Findings:Table 3.1.3 sets the minimum requirements for loading spaces. Property tax records
indicate that the existing building has 13,780square feet of gross floor area.Site Plan Review
SPR 1993-02 shows 2 exterior loading berths.

Conclusion:The development complies with Table 3.1.3.
Findings: Table 3.1.4 sets the minimum dimensions for parking spaces and drive aisles.
Section 3.105.02.H.5 provides that “Off-street parking and maneuvering areas shall have
directional markings and signs to control vehicle movement.” Section 3.105.02.H.6 provides
that “Off street parking spaces shall be delineated by double parallel lines on each side of a
space.” Section 3.105.02.H.10 provides that “All uses required to provide 10 or more off street
parking spaces shall provide a bicycle rack within 50 feet of the main entrance.”
Conclusions:The existing parking area meets the current WDO requirements for the number of
off-street parking and loading spaces. The proposed change of use does not increase the required
parking. The applicant is not required to change the layout of the parking area with this
application.
WDO 3.106 Landscaping Standards
Findings:A landscaping plan was approved under Site Plan Review SPR 1993-02. It is apparent
that the plant density provided under that plan does not meet the current requirements of the
WDO. Section 1.104.02, Change or Expansion of an Existing Use with Nonconforming Parking,
Loading and/or Landscaping, provides that “Any additional parking, loading, landscaping, wall
or refuse facility required by the WDO to accommodate a change in use, or expansion of an
existing use shall be subject to the following: …
B.For applications where the change or expansion increases the required area for parking,
loading, or landscaping by less than 25 percent, the parking, loading, landscaping, buffer
walls and refuse facilities required for the expansion shall conform to the standards of the
WDO. The property owner is encouraged, but not required, to bring more of the site into
conformity.”
The current proposal does not expand the building.
Conclusions:The landscaping plan approved in SPR 1993-02 remains in force, and is governed
as a nonconformity by Section 1.104.02.
Note: The applicant indicates that the building will be expanded in the future. Landscaping
“required for the expansion” will be reviewed as part of the future Design Review.
Page 5 of 7

WDO 3.107 Architectural Design Guidelines and Standards
Finding:The current proposal does not expand or modify the existing building.
Conclusions:The proposed development is not subject to the architectural design guidelines and
standards of Section 3.107. The proposed expansion will be subject to a future Design Review.
WDO 3.110 Signs
Findings: A site visit found two existing pole signs on the Highway 99E frontage. Pole signs are
allowed in the CG zone (Table 3.110.10B.) Section 3.110.11.B provides that “Nonconforming
permanent signs shall comply with the provisions of Section 3.110 when one or more of the
following occurs: …
4.A Conditional Use or Type III Design Review land use application is approved for the
premises upon which the sign is located.”
The present case includes a Conditional Use.
Conclusions:The property owner must remove one of the existing pole signs, in accordance
with Section 3.110.11. One pole sign may be established on the property, pursuant to Table
3.110.10B. This may be addressed as a condition of approval, prior to building occupancy.
WDO 5.103.01 Conditional Use
Findings:Section 5.103.01.C.1 requires that the use be listed as a Conditional Use in the zoning
district. Section 2.106.03.G.1 lists automotive maintenance as a conditional use in the
Commercial General (CG) zone.
Conclusion: The proposed use of the property is allowed by conditional use.
Findings:Section 5.103.01.C.2 requires that the use comply with the development standards of
the zoning district. Compliance with the Commercial General (CG) zoning regulations is
discussed in detail above.
Conclusions: The proposed use meets the requirements of Section 5.103.01.C.2, with the
exception of the rear setback. As noted above, that issue could be resolved by recording a deed
consistent with Survey 32990.
Findings:Section 5.103.01.C.2 requires that the use be compatible with the surrounding
properties, and provides that relevant factors to be considered in determining whether the
proposed use is compatible include:
a.The suitability of the size, shape, location and topography of the site for the proposed
use;
Findings: The subject property is of adequate size, is rectangular in shape, is located on a
major arterial street, and is relatively flat.
Page 6 of 7
71
b.The capacity of public water, sewerage, drainage, street and pedestrian facilities
serving the proposed use;
Findings: The subject property is currently served by public water, sewerage, and drainage
facilities. Street access is from a state highway. Sidewalks are provided. The business is
auto-oriented, not pedestrian-oriented.
c.The impact of the proposed useon the quality of the living environment:
1)Noise;
2)Illumination;
3)Hours of operation;
4)Air quality;
5)Aesthetics; and
6)Vehicular traffic.
Findings: The proposed use of the property is automotive maintenance. The nearest
residential property is approximately 1,200 feet away. The proposed development is
surrounded by commercial and industrial property.
d.The conformance of the proposed use with applicable Comprehensive Plan policies;
Findings: Comprehensive Plan policy F-1.1 provides that: “The City should at all times have
sufficient land to accommodate the retail needs of the City and the surrounding market area,

Agenda Item
August 13, 2012
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From:Jim Hendryx, Economic and Development Services Director
Subject:Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Housing
Rehabilitation Application
RECOMMENDATION:
(a) Authorize the Mayor to execute the Community Development Block
Grant contract with the State of Oregon through the Business Oregon-
Infrastructure Finance Authority, Award #H12004, in the amount of
$400,000 for the Woodburn Housing Rehabilitation Program.
(b)Authorizethe Mayor to sign the Signature Card, designating authorized
individuals to request and receive grant payments.
(c)Adopt the attached Resolution designating a Certifying Officer and
Environmental Certifying Officer.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Woodburn was awarded CDBG HousingRehabilitation grants in the
mid 80’s and again in the mid 90’sfor lending to area homeowners eligible for
the program. Over the years, through repayment of loans, the Housing
Rehabilitation Program accumulated approximately $420,000 available for
lending. The majority of the funds were againloaned outin 2009-10. The last
round of loans createdconsiderable interest in the Housing Rehabilitation
Program. More than 90City residents applied for funding, with29 receiving
loans.
The City’s documented need, through formal pre-application screening,
enabled the City to qualify for another CDBG applicationfor housing funds.In
September, Council authorized the City Administrator, with assistance from the
Mid-Willamette Council of Governments (COG) to apply for a Housing
Rehabilitation Block Grant. The initial application was denied for technical

reasons and the City resubmitted the application in March, 2012tothe
Infrastructure Finance Authority (IFA). They were informed in May, 2012 that the
City had been awarded$400,000.
:
DISCUSSION
New program rules require local governments who wish to apply for these funds
to enter into Intergovernmental Agreements (IGA’s) with a minimumof two
other local governments. With Council’s approval, the City did so this past
September with theCity of Stayton and Marion County,withWoodburn serving
as the lead applicant/administrator.The IGAspecifies that 25% of the grant
funds could be used by Stayton to assist in addressing their wait list.
Additional program rules require that the lead applicant transfer the
responsibility formanaging the program to an appropriate non-profit
organization, such as Valley Development Initiatives(VDI), through a
sub-
VDI is staffed by the COG, who also manages housing
recipient agreement.
rehabilitation programs for the cities of Aumsville, Aurora, Gervais, Hubbard,
Jefferson, Scotts Mills, Stayton, the Santiam Canyon, Turner and Marion County.
The will be presented to Council at a future date, as
sub-recipient agreement
the City cannot obligate any project funds until an environmental exemption is
approved by IFA.
After accounting for administrative costs, one hundred percent of the funds
must benefit owner-occupied households with incomes below the federal
low and moderate income limit (80% of the median family income as adjusted
by family size).Income limits range from approximately $33,600 for a one person
house hold to $48,000for a household of 4 persons.
:
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The application limit for CDBG Housing Rehabilitation is $400,000. The three IGA
partners wereable to document need in their communities to support
submission of an application for the limit. Of thegrant amount, IFA allows up to
$105,000 be allocated to the subrecipientfor management and administration
of the program. VDI has proposed a contract amount of $90,000 for grant
administration, program management, and environmental review. This would
leave $310,000 in CDBG funds for lending ($232,500 in loan funds will be used by
the City of Woodburn and $77,500will be used by the City of Stayton).
93
Honorable Mayor and City Council
August 13, 2012
Page 3
In order to make theirapplication as competitive as possible, the City of
Woodburn set aside $15,000of their previous CDBG fund award as a match.
One hundred percent of the City of Woodburn match fundswillbe used for
lending to homeownersin the City of Woodburn, so the City will have
approximately $247,500in loan funds availableonce the grant award money is
received.
While the program requires the lead applicant to transfer responsibility for
managing the program to an appropriate non-profit organization, the lead
applicant remains responsible for the oversight of the program until the
close-out of the grant (two years from award), which will require City staff
support similar to that provided under the existing contract with VDI for
administration of the previous CDBG Housing Rehabilitation Program.
