Community Services 6. Approved a one-time appropriation up to $250,000 from the Lower Income Housing Fund for a potential future PUSD grant to be used for new or updated facilities for special-housing needs for underserved children in Pleasanton Councilmember Narum requested language reflecting an expenditure of"up to" $250,000 and indicating that availability of any unused funds would expire after a period of twelve months. Councilmember Cook-Kallio supported the first request, which she thought was easily inferred, but expressed concern that twelve months might not be sufficient time for PUSD to act upon the grant. Mr. Fialho explained that this is an appropriation only, with the scope of work coming back to both the PUSD Board and CC for review and approval at a later time. He suggested that two years would be a more appropriate time limit from both a policy and governmental accounting perspective, noting that the City's auditors will require that the funds be unappropriated and returned to the fund balance at the end of 24 months if not used. Councilmember Narum indicated her acceptance. Finance 7. Accepted the monthly disbursements and investment report for September 2014 Operations Services 8.
