At the previous meeting on July 17, 2000, as in the past when CDBG funds become available throughout the budget year all projects not approved for funding during that funding cycle are reevaluated. The southeast street lighting project was not one of the original applicants requesting CDBG funding during the current cycle. During the Committee's discussion of the general subject concerning street lighting in the southeast, which currently is funded from Redevelopment tax increment, the Old Town Kern street lighting project was also reviewed. Staff reported that there are street lighting monies budgeted for an adjacent area that have not been used, and it might be possible to expand that project to include the area near Union cemetery. Staff was directed to discuss this issue further with the Southeast Project Area Committee. B. Committee discussion regarding scheduling meetings for the rest of 2000.
