Moved by Council Member Anderson, seconded by Council Member Navarrette to open the public hearing on the application for the Department of Economic Development Community Development Block Grant Comprehensive Revitalization Project #13CR103. Roll call vote: 8 ayes. Motion carried. Tina Engelbart, Northeast Nebraska Economic Development District, stated the application is for Phase One. The application is for $150,000 with $70,380 for owner occupied single family rehabilitation, $46,920 for rental single family rehabilitation, $10,200 for housing management, $7,500 for lead based paint risk assessment/testing and $15,000 for general administration. She stated it is a dollar for dollar match with the City’s match coming from the water main done on 4th Street, Clarkson to D Street. Council Member Johnson inquired what the lead based paint risk assessment/testing was. Ms. Engelbart stated risk assessment is done to identify mitigation and testing was started in 1975 for lead based paint. Council Member Navarrette asked when the grant would begin. Ms. Engelbart replied even though they are funds from the State from 2012, the applications are a year behind so the grant funds would be spent in Fremont’s 2013/2014 fiscal year.
