This will be the first of many meetings with <br /> RCWD to determine a cost effective method of cleaning up the ditch prior to the <br /> opening of our course. <br /> CDBG Interview for Senior Housing Project <br /> I have been scheduled next week to present the City's request for CDBG funding for <br /> the Senior Housing Project. I won't guess at our chances because the primary <br /> funding sources Westminster is using (MN Housing Finance Agency Tax Credits) will <br /> not be determined until July. That muddies the waters a bit, but the project is certainly <br /> one of the best examples of what CDBG funds were intended to accomplish. Keep <br /> your fingers crossed. <br /> CONGRATULATIONS to Bill Hanggi who has successfully passed his Class B Water <br /> License Test. Good Job, Bill! <br /> Samantha <br /> FOCUS 2000 UPDATE <br /> The Focus 2000 Steering Committee had their first meeting on 2/24.
