COMMITTEE SUBSTITUTE FOR RESOLUTION NO. 130188

Amending the 2012 One Year Action Plan and authorizing submission of a Substantial Amendment to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for its consideration in order to program recaptured funding under the Troost Avenue Reconstruction project.

WHEREAS, on March 8, 2012, Council approved the City’s One Year Action Plan through Committee Substitute for Resolution No. 120159 and on July 12, 2012, approved Amendment No. 1 through Resolution No. 120591, and authorized the submission of said Plans to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD); and

 WHEREAS, the submitted Plans were prepared pursuant to and in accordance with Title I of the National Affordable Housing Act of 1990, as amended, as well as the appropriate administrative rules and regulations promulgated and adopted under such Act; and

WHEREAS, the City desires to revise the Plan in order to provide up to $4,568,000.00 in City funds for public improvements as part of the Troost Avenue Reconstruction project, around The Colonnades at 27th Street, and Chelsea Avenue as part of the St. Michael’s Veteran’s Center; and

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF KANSAS CITY:
