These are forms given us by HUD and they don't really conform to the City's style of document execution. It is Mr. Higgins's usual practice from when he was the ACM over Housing and Economic Development Department to want some initials by his signature line in the event that the Assistant city Attorney was not also signing on the same page. I guess I forgot one page, but this was something I did and not a federal requirement. I did it just because this document was so hard to follow as to where and how we were supposed to sign. Someone had filled in the City of Fort Worth and so I also highlighted it in yellow so Mr. Higgins could tell where to sign. It was not exactly intuitively obvious to the casual observer. Is it now city policy that I have to initial? I was just trying to help rnake it as clear as I could where he was supposed to sign. If I missed one and Mr. Higgins signed anyway it seems like that is sufficient, certainly legally. However, I am glad to initial that one if that is what I am supposed to do.
