He said that there is also a five year spend horizon for this money, so once we receive a grant of this loan we would have five years to spend it, which is a pretty generous period for being able to spend that kind of grant money. Councilmembers discussed the Eastmont Avenue project and the 101" Street Project with Public Works Director Don McGahuey. Mr. McGahuey said he could submit more than one application as he was not sure whether each project had to be case specific. Council Action: A motion was made by Councilmember Buckner, second by Councilmember Johnson, authorizing staff to submit an application for a Public Works Trust Fund. The motion carried, 7-0. MAYOR'S REPORT Mayor Lacy said that an item discussed during the Budget Committee meeting has to do with the use of past, current and future Community Block Grant funds and the process used to go forward with making decisions with respect to how to do a project or projects that involves those funds. Community Development Director Lori Barnett said the process for terminating the use of the funds was adopted by the City Council when they adopted the Consolidated Plan. She said distribution of those funds and how they are allocated is a process that has to be followed using Federal Guidelines. The Planning Commission is the first part of this process in which the Community Development Department ' does an outreach to the people with a citizen involvement process that says we are supposed to indicate to the community that we have $124,000 that we are getting from Community Development Block Grant money, and would you please come to this meeting to tell the City how they would like those funds to be utilized. She said all that is stipulated by Federal Regulations and then becomes the Annual Action Plan. She added if they want to insert the Budget Committee into the process, the Planning Commissioner's recommendation would then go to the Budget Committee. She said she is not sure how much Legislative folks have been left out in the process, because the action plan is adopted by the City Council. Mayor Lacy said the problem he has had with it so far is that we have made some decisions that have broken up these funds and we have not been able to move forward with a project that could combine the funds in any way, and he would like to combine the funds as much as possible utilizing the Budget Committee recommendation as a means of doing that without violating the Federal Guidelines, that is what he is recommending. He said that is the way he intends to go forward administering this without objection, and he asked if anybody had any objection as to this, because hence forward that is how he intends to streamline the process. Mayor Lacy invited everyone to attend the following events with the Misawa Delegation: Welcome Reception — Thursday, May 3`d, 3:30 p.m., at East Wenatchee City Hall; Welcome Dinner — Thursday, May 3", 6:00 p.m., at the Wenatchee Valley Museum; Farewell Dinner — Tuesday, May 8th, 6:00 p.m., at Mayor Lacy's home; and Farewell — Wednesday, May 9", 8:30 a.m., at Cedars Inn. ' He added the East Wenatchee City Council Meeting is the same night as the Farewell Dinner and requested an earlier start time for the City Council meeting. Council agreed by consensus to start the Council meeting at 5:30 p.m. on May 8'", 2012.
