<br />CASSELBERRY CITY COMMISSION <br />Minutes of October 26, 2009 - Regular Meeting <br />Page 10 of 14 <br /> <br />environment, staff anticipates resistance from celiain property owners if the program is implemented. <br /> <br />Budget Impact: The Code Enforcement Division has estimated that 4,000 of all single family homes within <br />the City including mobile/manufactured homes, and condominium/multi-family dwellings are not homesteaded <br />properties. There also could be additional units that are homesteaded but are actually used as rental units.
