The policy was passed at the first public hearing and this public hearing is concerned with the program. Mr. Kulaszewicz asked about the smaller developer who is not able to compete. Mr. Short said the program has been redesigned to reserve one -half million dollars has been set aside for the small developers. If they want to use the money is available - if they don't, then the money will be used by the original developers. 1 Council Meeting December 28, 1982 Mr. Marier asked about the difference in the amount of money available to different developers. Mr. Short pointed out that these figures had been worked out among the developers.

Mr. Marier asked what happened when the application is approved and the developer can get the money? Mr. Karth said that the developers never see the money. This money is put into a trust account, the home buyer applies for a mortgage and if approved, then the mortgage company pays the developer. Mr. Marier asked what happens to the money not used by the developers and Mr. Karth said that money stays in the trust fund to pay off the bonds.
