10. REPORTS <br />A. REQUEST FOR IMPACT FEE REIMBURSEMENT - COVENANT PLACE <br />Director of Housing and Community Development Tara Fikes explained that UCC Living Centers, <br />Inc., a 501(c)(3) organization is planning to build 40 rental units for elderly citizens with very low incomes <br />through the HUD sponsored Section 202 Program. The project is scheduled for completion in June, 1998. <br />When the application was submitted, they did not request funds for impact fees because it is unclear whether <br />or not HUD will provide funding for these fees. The school impact fees total $120,000. <br />John Link explained that funds are not in the budget.
