<br />I am supporting the recommendation made by the Board of Commissioners of PRHA at their meetin
<br />of February 21, 1984, that an additional $50,000 be allocated for the acquisition of four
<br />properties in extremely poor condition and the relocation of those residents. Additionally,
<br />I have requested that City and PRHA staff work with the Twin Pines Civic League to evaluate
<br />the need for street and utility work in the area.
<br />
<br /> An Appropriation Ordinance is enclosed for your review. This appropriation includes the
<br />anticipated 1984 Entitlement of $2,090,670, which represents a reduction of $179,330 from last
