Any financial <br />assistance to housing programs as part of this program is subject to City Council approval. <br />Moreover, such financial assistance is limited by the availability of City funds. <br />Implementation Procedures <br />The program does require the applicant pay upfront permit fees. To be in good standing with the <br />City, applicant and /or landlords must be current on all municipal taxes, special assessments, City <br />utility bills, or EDA loans. Principal forgiveness will cease if the applicant and /or landlords fail <br />to be current on these obligations. Principal forgiveness will cease if the applicant discontinues <br />the business, moves the business, or fails to comply with any and all building, fire, health, or <br />zoning codes or regulations. <br />Review Process <br />The City will review each application for housing assistance using a two - step process: <br />1.
