Mr. Eagleton explained, "Up until the last few weeks, it has been told to us that HUD would discontinue all Urban Renewal projects as of June 30, 1974; however, we have received communications, letterwise and phone calls, that this is being extended until January 1975. Under the extensions, the way we understand it, we are asking that the City send a letter to HUD requesting that the money they had for us be set aside so that we can send an amendatory application for extension. This money is not an obligation on the city part until we fill out the applicatio , from the agency point of view we would like to see the city do this so that the funds that are available could be used within the Neighborhood Development Project." Commissioner Losik asked, "Harold, the obligation on that would be the 25% as far as the city once approves it, isn't it?" Mr. Eagleton replied, "Yes, Mike; however, what I meant by that though is that this letter does not say that we will get the funds, but if the City does not send the letter then we will not get the funds. After the City sends a letter then we will find out what the amendatory application is and then we will know at that point. At that point is when the City really officially obligates it." Mayor Usher said, "Eventually we would have to decide about the 25/."
