funds by Durham Consortium over the next five years to address housing and

funding with HOME/ADDI, CDBG,
and Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) allocations during
the first fiscal year of the new 5-Year Plan.
The draft 5-Year Plan, which staff continues to assemble, and the
proposed FY 2005-2006 sub-recipients and activities have been available to the
public since April 2, 2005. Public
comments will continue to be used to refine the Plan before finalization and
submission to HUD.

HOME/ADDI and ESG Funds for
submission to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development; and

by the Management Company since the May 2, 2005 Worksession,
do not alter the agreement as presented on May 2 and are reflected in the
attached contract.
The two other agreements governing Civic Center
operations (Air Lease Agreement and City-County
Interlocal Agreement) remain in full force and effect
until their expiration seventy-five (75) years from project inception in 1987.
County Manager?s
