The demolition of dilapidated homes within the City limits to improve the health, safety, and welfare of the community. Benefiting somewhere between 10 to 20 low income households. ADA improvements of public facilities. Including the park restrooms and other public facilities, benefiting approximately 558 disable persons. Upgrade the Senior Citizens parking lot between the Court House and the Senior Center also installing sidewalk between the senior center and the city park. Interim City Manager Paul Ramsey asked if this would include ADA at the City Park. Malena Bazurto commented that it needs to be specific on the ADA. Mayor Patterson asked if there was anyone that would like to comment on the public hearing. Councilman Richardson asked if the paving of the Senior Center would include the paving of the alley way between the Prison and the Senior Center.

Then use Brownfields money to complete the cleanup of asbestos. Mayor Patterson commented that what if we get down the road and do not have enough homes, what then? Ms. Bazurto commented that we would have to contact those properties before we submit the application to make sure that we definitely have the approval of the home owner. Interim City Manager Ramsey commented that he didn’t know how the County is going to feel, but last time when the County went through their round of
