Florida Small Cities CDBG Audit Report
We received the results of the Department of
Community Affairs (DCA) on-site monitoring visit
for one of the City’s ongoing housing
rehabilitation block grants.
• This is the final weekly report for 2010
• City Hall will be closed on Dec 23d and 24th
• There will be no Council meeting on Jan 3d
• The next regular Council meeting will be Tues,
Jan 18, 2011
This $750,000 grant, which started in 2008,
proposed to rehabilitate or demolish and replace
16 homes.
Thus far, five homes have been completed, four
are under contract and four are out for
bids. The DCA’s Report revealed that there were
no “findings” and no “concerns” which is
evidence to the efficiency of our planning
and North Central Florida Regional Planning
Council Staff.
Reports like this one assures continued
eligibility and success in getting future DCA
Grants.
Police Union Bargaining Agreement
The City Staff has completed “tentative” review
of the Lake City Police Department’s proposed
union agreement.
The PD bargaining unit was formed in September
2009 and consists of 31 members. The agreement
was “Tentatively Agreed” upon by the City
Manager and Police Chief during October 2010.
Following review by the City’s Labor Attorney
and approval of the minor changes by the union
members, the final document will be presented
for Council consideration.
City Manager Johnson and the Staff wishes
everyone a Happy Holiday Season.
