This program helps correct life-threatening situations or conditions that affect health and <br /> safety for owner occupied homes. The program currently provides up to$6,000 for homeowner problems such as: hot water <br /> heaters,electrical issues,furnace replacement in the winter and medically necessary air conditioning replacement. The program <br /> currently does not provide funding for sewer lateral repairs because most of these repairs exceed the maximum allowable funding. <br /> The attached policy language provides an outline for a method the City can use to share in the expense using Sewer Funds and <br /> Community Development Block Grant funds(CDBG)so as to include sewer lateral repairs as part of the emergency program. <br /> ATTACHMENTS: <br /> Description Type <br /> Motion Adopting ity_Council Policy nitary 5swer Backup Material <br /> Lateral Emerge�y�gram <br /> https:Hdecatur.novusagenda.com/agendaweb/CoverSheet.aspx?ltemID=4520 1/1 <br />
