Report
Summary
Each fiscal year, the Neighborhood Services Department (NSD) requests that program income from projects funded by the CDBG allocation are reprogrammed to provide an additional year of continued funding for two Neighborhood Preservation Inspector I positions originally eliminated as part of the 2009 General Fund budget reduction. For Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-23, NSD is requesting $350,000 be reprogrammed for the two positions. Staff will continue to provide enforcement of the Neighborhood Preservation Ordinance in eligible, focused low- and moderate-income census tracts, specifically in the City's Neighborhood Initiative and Redevelopment areas, including the West Phoenix Revitalization Area through June 30, 2023.
