The city has only 312 months to finish or have · under contract all activities listed in the application. To make sure the city meets its commitment it is requested that all participatins departments review their programs and forward their Urban Beautification schedule to Eric Harkness, City Planning Department, to determine where we stand on the overall program . If some activities in the application are not underway, the y should be made ready and the contract let by the end of December, 1967 . The city must make every effort to bez in all activities in the 1967 ap plication or the cit y 's eligibility could be jeopardized if the residentially related activities drop below 60% of the cost of activities included in the appl i cat ion. I f cir cums tances have produ ced changes or deletion of any of the 1967 activities , pleas e infor m me because i t may be necessary to substitute othe r activ i ties in or de r to -ma i nt a i n our 60% minimum. Such changes can be made eas i l y pr ior to a ppr ov a l of the applica tion but a f t e r appr ov al would r equir e an amendatory appl ication . The 1967 application was a lso fo rwa r ded t o you in April. The on l y changes which have been made are in the Parks and Schoo l Departments activitie s .
