Body
Whereas, by Resolution No. 636, effective October 24, 2006, the Council of the City of Pittsburgh authorized a cooperation agreement with the Urban Redevelopment Authority of Pittsburgh ("URA") in connection with URA's application with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Office of the Budget (the "Commonwealth") for a $7,500,000 Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program ("RACP") grant for the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh branch modernization project (the "Project"); and
Whereas, the Commonwealth requires the City of Pittsburgh to agree to reimburse it for any expenditure of RACP funds determined by the Commonwealth to be ineligible; and
Whereas, the Commonwealth approved the Application and combined with it a $250,000 RACP grant for the Centre and Kirkpatrick branches; and
Whereas, the Commonwealth has increased the grant by $750,000, which requires an amendment to Resolution No. 636 to reflect the increased grant and to include the Centre and Kirkpatrick branches in the definition of Project;
Be it resolved by the Council of the City of Pittsburgh as follows:
