(KLZA)-- The Pawnee City Council tabled discussion concerning a Nebraska Department of Economic Development, Housing rehab grant.

Craig Eberle with Southeast Nebraska Development District informed the Council that further research discovered this particular grant requires at 10-percent match.

There is also a possibility of seeking a Community Development Block Grant for housing rehab later this year.  A match is not required for the CDBG housing rehab grant. 

The Council passed on second reading, Ordinance #940 amending the All-Terrain / Utility Terrain vehicle ordinance to allow only Utility Terrain vehicles.  

On a 3-1 vote with Council member John Dahlgren casting the dissenting vote, a resolution was adopted to capture funds left in the General Fund at the end of each Fiscal Year to be transferred to the Housing Demolition Reserve Account.  

City Clerk Tammy Stephens estimates that would likely amount to less than $15,000 annually.
