Council adopted resolutions authorizing the Raleigh Housing Authority to issue bonds for Burrell Lofts (120 units) and Tryon Flats (220 units) affordable rental housing projects.
Council authorized an April 15 public hearing to receive input on the draft Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan documents. These documents show how the City intends to use federal funds to address housing and community development needs.
Council approved Council Members Jones and Patton each using $4,095 from their contingency funds to support the Raleigh Wake Council of the Blind and its braille literacy and technology program: https://go.boarddocs.com/nc/raleigh/Board.nsf/goto?open&id=DEXLVX58770C.
Council accepted a bequest from the estate of the late Ms. Virginia Parker in the amount of $50,000. At her request, these funds will go to the Raleigh Police Department for the purpose of purchasing two additional police dogs, with all equipment and supplies, and one new police dog who will serve as a replacement for one who will soon retire. Ms. Parker’s father, Ben, served as an officer with RPD for 20 years. Thank you for this generous gift!
