New Program to Reimburse Building Permit Fees for Affordable Housing Projects
The council considered an ordinance establishing an affordable housing building permit fee reimbursement program.

The program would reimburse up to 50% of eligible community development permit fees, not exceeding $7,500 per qualifying single-family residential project within the city's Chapter 353 redevelopment area, provided the home is sold for $175,000 or less. The ordinance passed its second reading and final passage.

The council approved the records destruction.
