The city has only 3,½ months to finish or have . under contract all activiti.es listed in the application. To make sure the city meets its commitment it is requested that all participating departments review their programs and forward their Urban Eeautification 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, they should be made ready and the contract let by the end of December , 1967 . The city must make every effort to bee in all activities in the 1967 a pplication or the cit y 's el i gibility could be jeopardized if the residentially r elated activities drop below 60% of the cost of activities included in the application .

Such changes can be mad e easily prior t o ap proval of the application but after appr ov al would r equi r e an amendat ory app lication. The 1967 application was also f orward ed t o you in April.
