6th Cycle Housing Element. The consulant will
provide minor home repair services to low-income
homeowners on an as-needed, first-come first-
served basis and leverage grant funds as
applicable. The City would pay the difference, and
there would be no cost to the homeowner. This
partnership would help the City fulfill Housing
Program H1-4: Monitor and Preserve Affordable
Housing and At-Risk Housing: “Throughout the
planning period, utilize CDBG or other funds, as
available, to provide financial assistance for minor
repairs of homes owned and occupied by lower-

plumbing, electrical, painting, carpentry, roof, and
masonry, with a goal of assisting 16 households.”

Police Replacement of existing 35 radios and associated equipment
The current portable handheld radios are over 15 years old and have already begun being replaced county wide by all law enforcement agenices. The technology is outdated and eventually will not be able to support incoming software.
Motoralla has stopped making the models we currently
have which already has made it difficult to replace as they continue to breakdown. Many of the batteries have
becomen inoperable or are not holding a charge. Radios
are a critical resource for the police department and are essential for safety and communication.
