This budget amendment will appropriate $40,000 for the Tenant Landlord Connection program. The Tenant Landlord Connection is an agreement between One Roof Housing, the Housing and Redevelopment Authority, and the City of Duluth to improve tenant-landlord relations and decrease the amount of housing evictions in our community. The City of Duluth’s 2017 budget does not include an appropriation to the Tenant Landlord Connection program.
This budget amendment also appropriates $375,000 to the fire department for a projected increase in overtime. Overtime has been impacted by staff shortages caused by injuries, military leave and utilization of leave under the Family Medical Leave Act.
