Each activity as outlined in the City' s 1993 CDBG Final Statement of Objectives and Projected Use of Funds addresses the objective for the CDBG Program. In order to continue the revitalization efforts the City is reprogramming CDBG funds from older program years into the 1993 CDBG Program to accomplish two (2) projects that were previously submitted. There is approximately $100, 000 available and the projects to be funded are as follows : *PARKS IMPROVEMENTS IN THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT TARGET AREA A. Central Heights Park- Project to include constructing a concrete beam/retainer to form a defined perimeter for the new play area, installation of a new modular play unit, relocation and/or discard of existing equipment, as appropriate and a sidewalk to insure easy access to the play area Project is located in Census Tract #264 and the statuatory references are 24CFR570 .201 (c) / 24570 .208 (a) (1) . EXHIBIT A *SANITARY SEWER AND STREET IMPROVEMENTS IN THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT TARGET AREA $80, 000 A. Huggins Street Sanitary Sewer Project - This project is designed to alleviate sanitary sewer overflows on Huggins Street . The plan involves installing a parallel sewer system on the east side of Huggins Street to provide additional flow capacity. The existing line beneath the street is not sized adequately to carry the necessary volume of water during wet weather causing the system to become surcharged and overflow out of the manholes . The new line will extend from Missouri Street northward to Michigan Street. The project is located in Census Tract #273 and the statutory references are 24 CFR 570 .201 (c) /24 CFR 570.208 (a) (1) . B. Airhart Drive Paving - This project involves the installation of an asphalt overlay on Airhart between Market and J.B. LeFevre . The existing concrete street will have spot repairs made to it followed by an a 1.5" asphalt overlay. This is similar to the way that- Airhart was repaired between J.B. LeFevre and Decker Drive. This is an alternate activity should the Huggins Street Sanitary Sewer Activity prove to be not feasible. The project is located in Census Tract #264 and the statutory references are 24 CFR 570 .201 (c) / 24 CFR 570 .208 (a) (1) .
