Oops! Council Forgets to to Apporve $141 MILLION

ZUMA DOGG SAYS...YOU SNOOZE, YOU LOOSE...SORRY CRA!
MOTION
JUN 22 2007

On May 16, 2007, the City Council considered the Community Redevelopment Agency's
(CRA) Fiscal Year 2006-2007 Mid-Year Budget Adjustment request
. At that time, the Housing, Community and Economic Development Committee (I-ICED) had submitted a report on the matter which was circulated to the members of the Council.

Also at that time, several amending motions were considered. Inadvertently, however, the HCED report was not placed before the Council and only the Motion (Reyes - Wesson) was adopted. The HCED report included recommendations from the Chief Legislative Analyst and the City Administrative Offce that would allow the CRA to transfer approximately $25 million in current year resources and to recognize and allocate approximately $116 million in unencumbered and new revenue carried-over from the prior fiscal year. The HCED report also ineluded language relative to the swap ofCRA funds for CDBG funds relative to the financing of Community Based Development Organizations (CBDO). A correction action is now necessary.

I THEREFORE MOVE that Council's action of May 16, 2007 (Item No.5) relative to the
Community Redevelopment Agency's Fiscal Year 2006-2007 Mid-Year Budget Adjustments (C.F.No. 07-0409) be amended to inelude recommendations No.5 and No.6, as follows:
