Director Heiner said we had one transfer for $25,000 to bring it from General Funds to the RDA Fund for the wayfinding signage. Councilmember Lewis said are there any additional funds available for affordable housing? Executive Director Nessen said no, in a previous meeting the consensus was not to do that again this year. Chairman Rohde said we are going to hold on to it with some possibilities of using it for other incentive programs. Executive Director Nessen said it does have to be a non-profit organization, but it is also a grant we wrote. We could rewrite it. Chairman Rohde said email us the additional details when you have them and how much is in that project, along with guidelines on what the regulations are for using the money. Director Heiner said I think the fund balance is about $1.1 million. I do not know what is left for engineering.
