But at 198 pages, the longest report is for the Housing and Urban Development five-year consolidated plan. That's the plan to show how the city will spend $1.5 million of federal money. With carry-over funds from last year, the city has $2.3 million. The money is beings pent on home improvement, graffiti removal and some public improvements. The entire plan is available at City Hall, the library and on the city's Web site, www.cityofwhittier.org.
Another item of interest is the approval of leases with Clearwire for cell towers at Founders, Lee Owens, Palm and Penn parks. A $513,983 contract to build a number of bus stops throughout the city also is on the agenda. The council also will be asked to award a $877,339 contract with Bernard Builders to provide landscaping for the civic center as part of construction of the new police station.
