"Through the Community Development Block Grant Progr-ilm and HOME Proqrams, the

community, a suitable living environment, decent housing and expanded economic
opportunities, principally for persons of low and moderate income, and aids in the
prevention or elimination of slums and blight. The City carries out its objectives by
providing for appropriate streets and drainage, housing, recreational opportunities,
neighborhood preservation, and revitalization, and economic development as needed.
To ensure that these objectives are achieved, the following guidelines shall be as
follows:
"a. No Community Development Block Grant Funds will be authorized to
applicant agencies for the support of operating expenses.
"b. No capital grants will be made without sufficient evidence of the financial
capacity of the applying agency to operate the program.
"c. Priority will be given to those applying agencies that make substantial new
capital contributions to the project for which they are seeking funds.
"d. Housing shall be maintained as the top priority for the CDBG program as
well as placing greater emphasis on public infrastructure (City) in CDBG
eligible tracts.
"e. No individually funded CDBG project will be eligible for future CDBG
funding for a minimum of two years from the date of its last funding. (This
excludes projects which are specifically staged for several years of CDBG
funding such as a street project which has its engineering funded one year
and its construction the next.)
