One corporation we have worked with is the La Porte Chapter of the Habitat for <br />Humanity. This group is currently working on the construction of their twelfth home. <br /> <br />For Council's convenience, the packet includes a copy of the Habitat's letter in which they ask City <br />Council to consider continuing the joint working relationship_ <br /> <br />For clarification purposes, an opinion letter from the city's legal department as well as an ordinance is <br />also attached as backup. The ordinance has been prepared to include any and all organizations and/or city <br />initiated programs that provide low-income housing. Staff recommends approval of the ordinance. <br /> <br />Action Reauired bv Council: <br /> <br />Consider approval of ordinance authorizing waiving of construction fees. <br /> <br />Aooroved for City Council Al!enda <br /> <br />~ !Ju 7.,J.1of,pt- <br />Debra B.
