14 <br /> <br /> Mr. Huja said he would like to know how many people benefit from the funds. <br />Mr. Huja expressed some concern about getting money without having a plan for using it. <br /> <br /> Mr. O’Connell said we either accept the funds with the conditions or do not <br />accept it at all. He said there are active discussions about more federal jobs money, and <br />that may be more open to local programs. <br /> <br />RESOLUTION <br />: DESIGNATING $1.6 MILLION FOR PURCHASE OF LAND FOR <br />SINGLE ROOM OCCUPANCY FACILITY <br /> <br />th <br /> Mr. Tolbert said the Region Ten facility on 4 Street is being looked at for a <br />Single Resident Occupancy project. He said the price is $1.55 million, and $1.6 million <br />is recommended to allow due diligence. He said a funding scenario was presented to <br />rd <br />Council at its December 3 work session, but it was determined that we did not have all <br />of those funds. Mr. Tolbert said the proposal is for the City to buy the land and lease the <br />property. <br /> <br /> Mr. Huja said he thinks the property is strategically located. He made a motion to <br />approve the resolution and Mr. Taliaferro seconded the motion. <br /> <br /> Responding to a question from Dr. Brown, Mr. Tolbert said the funds from the <br />CIP proposed to be used are from several projects: $30,000 - historic preservation loan <br />fund; $30,000 - neighborhood projects; $100,000 each from the mall and corner projects; <br />$30,000 – HOME match; and $40,000 – housing carrying costs. <br /> <br /> Dr. Brown asked what the mall and corner funds would be used for if not for this, <br />and Mr. Tolbert said other CIP projects. <br /> <br /> Dr. Brown said we are basically taking away from CIP funds at a time when we <br />will most likely look to cut the CIP in next year’s budget. Dr. Brown proposed to <br />approve the resolution with the intent to repay $310,000 from next year’s affordable <br />housing funds. <br /> <br /> Mr. Huja and Mr. Norris agreed with Dr. Brown’s proposal. <br /> <br /> Mr. O’Connell said that can be shown in the upcoming budget. <br /> <br /> The resolution designating $1.6 million for land for the SRO facility was <br />approved by the following vote. Ayes: Dr. Brown, Ms. Edwards, Mr. Huja, Mr. Norris, <br />Mr. Taliaferro. Noes: None. <br /> <br /> NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED <br />by the City Council of the City of <br />Charlottesville, Virginia that the sum of $1,600,000 is hereby transferred from currently <br />appropriated funds in the following manner: <br /> <br />Transfer From <br /> <br />Amount Project/Cost Center G/L Account <br />$30,000 2000020 599999 <br />$30,000 CP-001 599999 <br />$100,000 P-00156 599999 <br />$100,000 P-00539 599999 <br />$30,000 P-00507 599999 <br />$40,000 P-00133 599999 <br />$200,000 P-00581 599999 <br />$1,070,000 P-00439 599999 <br /> <br />Transfer To <br /> <br />Amount Project G/L Account <br /> <br />$1,600,000 P-00580 599999 <br /> <br />
