At the time, the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban <br />Development had not notified the City of the amount of funds to be received from this grant; <br />therefore, the assumption of an 8% decrease in funding was utilized. The City has since received <br />information about the actual grant funding for FY 2011/2012. The decrease is approximately <br />16.5% or $1,234,885 less than the 2010/11 funding levels. Based on the actual 2011/12 <br />allocations, a recommendation to amend the approved CDBG program to the amounts listed <br />below is proposed. <br />25E-1
