ABSORPTION STUDY FOR INTOWN CONDOMINIUMS
After brief discussion of the conversion and use of Community
Development funds, Mr. Yamamoto requested written, legal
clarification of the eligibility of the market-rate condominiums
for federal/Community Development funds that were used to acquire
and clear the site by the Agency. His concern is that Community
Development funds are to benefit low-income, which the apartments
originally planned for the site did, because some were subsidized.
Now that condominiums are to be constructed, was the expenditure
of Community Development funds to clear the site an eligible
expenditure?

carried (Mr. Yamamoto voted NO) to receive and file the Absorption
Study for Intown Condominiums.
