Mr. Lee recommended to City Council, for entering into the

program. Due to a subsequent chain of events, work did not proceed,

During the past six months, several implementation measures,
like the Downtown Revitalization scheme, and Residential
Renabilitation Assistance Program have been brought forward as
outstanding work to be completed. This report is being written
to complete the City's application to participate in the
Residential Rehabilitation Assistance Program.
