..Title Amending the Fiscal Year 2004 Program Statement and Budget for the expenditure of the Neighborhood Transformation Initiative (NTI) bond proceeds. ..Body WHEREAS, On June 5, 2003, Council adopted Resolution No. 030306, approving the Fiscal Year 2004 Program Statement and Budget for the expenditure of the Neighborhood Transformation Initiative (NTI) bond proceeds; and WHEREAS, In order to continue to eliminate public safety hazards on a regular and consistent basis, it is necessary to augment the NTI demolition budget for Fiscal Year 2004 by $25 million; and WHEREAS, This change will enable the City to proceed with the targeted demolition of dangerous vacant properties and provide sufficient funds for emergency demolitions that will become necessary as a result of severe weather conditions during the winter of 2003-2004; and WHEREAS, The FY04 NTI Program Statement and Budget allocates $12,300,000 to the Basic Systems Repair Program - Tier II (BSRP) and $2,500,000 to the Adaptive Modifications Program; and WHEREAS, These two programs are also funded using CDBG and State funds; and WHEREAS, Moving $1,150,000 in NTI funds from the BSRP to the Adaptive Modifications would bring the NTI funding for Adaptive Modifications to $3,650,000 and reduce NTI funding for BSRP to $11,150,000; and WHEREAS, This change would not affect the overall funding for either program, but would reduce the amount of CDBG funding needed for Adaptive Modifications, so that the lead hazard abatement requirements of Title X will not be triggered; and WHEREAS, Pursuant to Bill No. 010694, as amended by Bill No. 020036, Council must approve, by resolution, any amendments to the annual Program Statement and Budget for the expenditure of proceeds of Neighborhood Transformation Initiative bonds; and WHEREAS, Council wishes to approve the proposed amendments to the annual NTI Program Statement and Budget for Fiscal Year 2004; now therefore RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA THAT: Section 1. The amendments to the annual Program Statement and Budget for the expenditure of the Neighborhood Transformation Initiative (NTI) Bond Proceeds for Fiscal Year 2004 attached hereto as Exhibits "A" through "F" are hereby approved.

Additions are in Bold. Blight Elimination Residential Demolition Objective While there are approximately 26,000 vacant residential properties throughout the City, at any given time more than 7,000 are structurally dangerous. The goal of the residential demolition program is to protect the health, safety and general welfare of Philadelphia residents by drastically reducing the city's inventory of vacant and dangerous houses. Program Description In FY04, the City expects to demolish between 1,400-1,600 dangerous residential properties throughout the ten Councilmanic Districts. This figure includes approximately 200 500 emergency curbside demolitions. The projected cost of the residential demolitions and associated activities for this period will be $28 $53 million. The City's demolition strategy will prioritize public safety, economies of scale, and potential redevelopment opportunities. The type of data that the City will evaluate when making demolition decisions includes, but is not limited to, the following: * Condition of structure * Level of vacancy * Social, cultural and economic anchors * Ownership characteristics * Parcel characteristics * Proximity to elementary schools * Home sales * Household change * Proximity to industrial land uses * Market quality Proposed Amendment to Resolution No. 040095 1.
