Item 6b Recommendation Regarding the Use of Federal HOME Funds for Fiscal Year 1996 (1996/97L (SR96:294) Steven Bocian presented the staff report. Ms. Dennis inquired about the discussion at the Affordable Housing Commission meeting. Mr. Bocian indicated the Commission had an interest in processing the HOME funds similar to the CDBG funds and asked if staff had reviewed various alternatives in the community to see if there were other places to allocate these funds. Staff believed the HOUSE, Inc. project would benefit the most because it could use the funds immediately. Scott Erickson reviewed all the projects he is aware of and concluded this allocation was the most appropriate. Allocation to Kottinger Place may not be appropriate because that is a public housing project. When HOUSE, Inc. was recently awarded CDBG funds, it was clear there was a need for additional funding to complete its project. Mayor Tarver asked if there were any speakers on this item and there were none. It was moved by Mr. Pico, seconded by Ms. Mohr, to adopt Resolution No. 96-112, approving the allocation of federal HOME funds for fiscal year 1996 to HOUSE, Inc. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmembers - Dennis, Michelotti, Mohr, Pico, and Mayor Tarver NOES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None 7.
