\"We initially had $5,000,103 and $778 allocated for administration. We'd like to reduce that amount,\" a Housing staff member said, describing proposed decreases to program administration and housing stability allocations and increases to affordable rental housing development and direct rental assistance. The staff member said the city has until September to expend the ERAP dollars and that a number of affordable housing projects are in the pipeline.

The second item would authorize the expenditure of $150,000 in general funds to procure a Choice Neighborhood Planning Grant consultant; the staff member said the amount was approved in the 2025 budget and the city conducted a competitive RFP. The third item is acceptance and appropriation of a $4,000,000 HUD \"pathways to removing obstacles to housing\" grant, which the staff member said will be used for updating zoning code, appraisal‑gap funding initiatives and work with the land bank to develop form‑based codes and construction drawings for inner‑city areas.

Council made no extended comments in the transcript; Vice Chair Dr. Jones recommended SEP for the ERAP reallocation and the HUD grant. The staff requested SEP or first reading on the consultant contract. No votes were recorded in the provided transcript.

If enacted, the measures would shift existing ERAP allocations toward development and direct rental assistance and commit city and grant funds to code and planning work; the staff emphasized the September expenditure deadline for the ERAP funds.

Clarifying details provided in the meeting: the ERAP reallocation moves funds between administration, housing stability, affordable rental housing development and direct rental assistance (specific line‑item adjustments were said to be in an attached schedule); the Choice Neighborhood consultant expenditure is $150,000 and was approved in the 2025 budget; the HUD grant award amount is $4,000,000 and will be applied to zoning updates, appraisal‑gap initiatives and land‑bank related form‑based code and construction drawings.

The items were presented as requests for SEP or first reading; the transcript does not record final enactment or council vote on any of these three items.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Toledo - City Council on 2025-02-18 2:00 PM - Feb 18, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Housing and Community Development staff told the Toledo City Council they will reallocate emergency rental assistance funds, hire a planning consultant and accept a $4 million HUD grant to support zoning updates and affordable housing projects.","taxTitle","Toledo, Lucas County, Ohio","taxId",2665,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6751278,"City counsel seeks approval of $32,500 settlement for 2017 cemetery injury",56,663000,719000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2333258-2c8e9889740760521453a71fbc3a1757&start=663&end=719","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2333258-2c8e9889740760521453a71fbc3a1757/thumbnail_663000.jpg","/articles/6751278/Toledo/Lucas-County/Ohio/City-counsel-seeks-approval-of-32500-settlement-for-2017-cemetery-injury","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6751278-e2808048bb2686ed57dab2a1992f0cec/orig.mp4?Expires=1771167363&Signature=Y65sU512-KcK4~VYu-avmOgVSH9PVlaVdQnegV8OAJ05IOuVeiQb1gm0Kl2o4AjMJe9mwYm~nh3fCPzyNAQqdAIZjHarhEyuXKUbHzpd1rZfhThbks0EOJcQIwidJVPaWOygour7A4UhZ-euCDu2NIEwzpAQK2pTibWgyg5a~ptR9~~aqGb-TuvX-xBNVd67DN2Y9-eMRKqG9CZx1CYEF6E-m8S3Kj9bGIX0ieJ-3sHq0aDp9m-wWmTl6VPUgAC8UCO6lwXDE1b4812qYwda~onWvxwDwK3hzCWMdRfDfw0WhxCJU4APWXA~AnlssquTHVADOJ6D3ys9NruAssQpkA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Ted Moller, counsel for the Department of Law, described a proposed settlement for an injury that occurred in 2017 when a tombstone fell at a city‑owned cemetery. \"This proposed settlement regards an 8 year old back in 2017 that was hit by a falling tombstone at our city owned cemetery,\" Moller said. He explained that a foundation for the tombstone had been paid for nine years earlier but had not been installed, and the incident injured the child while visiting with her guardian and brother. Moller said the department was requesting approval of $32,500 for the injury and asked for SEP.

The transcript shows no recorded questions or a formal vote on the settlement in the agenda review segment. Chair Hobbs recommended SEP after Moller's presentation.

The record in the transcript does not show whether the settlement was approved, who moved or seconded a motion, or whether any additional conditions were attached.","The Department of Law presented a proposed $32,500 settlement for an injury when a tombstone fell on a child at a city‑owned cemetery in 2017; counsel asked council to approve the payment and requested SEP.","actionData","errors"]
