NOW, THEREFORE, the Council directs:

a.  BHCD Director and Auditor are hereby authorized to execute a contract amendment with the Southeast Works in a form substantially in accordance with the agreement attached as Exhibit A (attached to original ordinance only).

b.  The Mayor and City Auditor are hereby authorized to draw and deliver warrants chargeable to the BHCD budget when demand is presented and approved by proper authority.
