ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS:

 

On May 1, 2023, City Council provided direction to City Staff to amend the Property Enhancement Program (PEP) Plus and Code Abatement program guidelines to provide more opportunities for Lewisville residents to utilize the programs. Direction provided to the Code Abatement program was to allow the City to pay the contractors directly, thereby enabling homeowners that may be unable to afford to fix a code violation the opportunity to come into compliance. Direction provided to the PEP Plus program expanded it Citywide for homes that were built in 1980 or earlier. City Staff also separated the programs into four individual grants under the PEP Program:  PEP Grant, Retaining Wall Grant, Code Abatement Grant and PEP Plus Grant. This provides greater clarity on which grant is being utilized by an applicant. The Economic Incentives (Non-Commercial) Policy was amended to reflect these updates.

 

RECOMMENDATION:

 

That the City Council approve the resolution of support as set forth in the caption above.
