NOW .THEREFORE, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Yelm, Washington: The City of Yelm will replace all occupied and vacant occupiable low-income dwelling units demolished or converted to a use other than as low-income housing as a direct result of activities assisted with funds provided under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, as described in 24 CFR 570.488 (c) (iii) .

Before obligating or expending funds that will directly result in such demolition or conversion, the City of Yelm will make public and submit to the state CDBG Program staff the following information in writing: 1. A description of the proposed assisted activity; 2. The general location on a map and approximate number of dwelling units by size (number of bedrooms) that will be demolished or converted to a use other than as low-income dwelling units as a direct result of the assisted activity; 3. A time schedule for the commencement and completion of the demolition or conversion; 4. The general location on a map and approximate number of dwelling units by size (number of bedrooms) that will be provided as replacement dwelling units; 5. The source of funding and a time schedule for the provision of replacement dwelling units; and 6. The basis for concluding that each replacement dwelling unit will remain a low-income dwelling unit for at least 10 years from the date of initial occupancy. 7.

Shift the concentrated demand generated by intense investment in one or two neighborhoods to other neighborhoods by: (a)cessation of any publicly-supported rehabilitation except for low-income housing; and (b)targeting public improvements into several other neighborhoods with potential for revitalization; and (c)conduction of advertising campaigns to attract interest in other neighborhoods. fit/ Kat ryn ,.
