The Dalles City Council has changed its ordinance on giving non-profits and governmental entities a break on system development charges, fixing the credit at 25 percent.  In the past, the Council has had the authority to grant up to 50 percent, but decided to review that last September.  Mayor Steve Lawrence says the hope is that this will streamline the process.  In other business, the Council awarded just over $20,000 to a number of different projects as part of its small grant program for fiscal year 2018-19.  City officials noted a number of requests did not include budgets as required.
