Councilor Wooten said she would support the staff recommendation. She clarified that the funding was special and staff knew it was coming but council was told to wait because HUD was not sure of its regulations, thereby shortening the time in which to work and forcing the council into an unfortuate situation. Councilor Ball concurred with Ms. Wooten's comments, stating that it was a mistake to camouflage this process as a normal part of the CDC process. He said he was comfortable with the present process utilized in reviewing CDC proposals, but he said that to contend that the Jobs Bill money was normal was to miss the point of the legislative history and the responsibility of the local jurisdic- tions in addressing the problem of short-term unemployment. Ms. Schue moved, seconded by Mr. Obie, to amend the Jobs Bill grant to include the use of remaining Jobs Bill funds for the Park Facilities Improvement Project.
