We are and I should back up saying we are allotted about 689,000 in CDBG funds, and 82% of that funds personnel in critically important community development related functions such as survey work, environmental review work, and outreach work.

And the other 18% is for the grant program and that comes to about $114,000 And that has been consistent throughout the years, recent years.
