He explained that the application was submitted on <br /> Wednesday. He expects a quick turnaround and for contracts to be executed by the end of June. <br /> Mr. Wyman explained that the City is a member of the Cuyahoga County Housing Consortium <br /> which submitted applications in a coordinated manner.

The vendor will <br /> review all applications, verify them and process payments. <br /> He stated that the City has received a formal proposal from Lakewood Community Services <br /> Center for their proposed portion of the funds.
