1985, the Administration proposes to defer $500 million from
fiscal year 1986 Community Development Block Grant Program

appropriations and proposed formula changes will result in a net
loss of $122,474 in Bremerton's Community Development Program
alone, and,
WHEREAS, low and moderate income persons within Bremerton
have benefited extensively from the program in the form of
housing rehabilitation, public improvements, social services and
economic development activities,
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the City of Bremerton
officially opposes the deferral proposal as well as any other
funding reductions, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City of Bremerton
petition the members of Congress to act immediately on this issue
and introduce and/or support an impoundment resolution to prevent
this deferral from becoming a reality.
ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Bremerton, signed by the
