Why This Vote Matters

The council unanimously closed the public hearing on the city's federally required report showing how affordable housing and community development grant money was spent in 2012-2013. This is a routine administrative step that allows the city to submit its annual performance report to the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Without this approval, the city could risk losing future federal funding for housing and community programs. Council member McLaughlin was absent from the meeting.
