Ms. Jennings reiterated that the report was due, along with the action plan, on May 15. She thought that a delay of <br />two weeks could have implications for receiving the money. In response to Councilor Taylor’s question regarding <br />what would be taken off the list if the school was added back in, she said she could only surmise what would have <br />happened given that the application for funding had been withdrawn prior to the last meeting of the advisory <br />committee and the project had not been considered. She guessed that the items that would have been cut would have <br />been curb ramps and the audible pedestrian signals, given that they were the last items to be added. <br /> <br />Councilor Zelenka averred that the NCS was a very notable project and served a good public need, but he said it also <br />needed to make economic sense. He was not comfortable with an eleventh hour process because of this deadline, nor <br />was he comfortable deciding which program to ax in order to allocate $100,000 to the charter school. He reiterated <br />that even if the school was allocated $100,000, it would not get them to the point of being able to buy the building. <br /> <br />Councilor Brown suggested that they could eliminate the money allocated for land banking and reallocate it to the <br />school. <br /> <br />Roll call vote; the motion failed, 4:2; councilors Taylor and Brown voting in favor. <br /> <br />Councilor Clark, seconded by Councilor Taylor, moved to approve the One-Year Action Plan for <br />use of Federal Community Development Block Grant and HOME funds in 2010/11. Roll call vote; <br />the motion passed unanimously, 6:0. <br /> <br />The meeting adjourned at 8:39 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Jon Ruiz <br />City Manager <br /> <br />(Recorded by Ruth Atcherson) <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council April 26, 2010 Page 8 <br /> Regular Meeting <br />
