UEZ-related lines are a major emphasis, including lease support, marketing, off-duty police ($1.86 million), maintenance and beautification ($1.33 million), youth jobs ($900,000), a small-business incubator, and administration. Other sizable investments include $1.82 million for HUD-HOME, $1.12 million for senior nutrition plus a $372,492 match, $1.07 million for various parks, and $1.00 million for eMobility.
