Many other projects involved over 2.2 mile area from seat held drive to new Trout River Boulevard. So there is a remaining balance of 3 million, 967,365.

This item is a policy consideration by you on Page 12 of your packages. You have a copy of the Kings to child Crossing Building Improvement Grant program guidelines. This program is an exterior grant improvement program with a dollar for dollar match by the city. With the goal of eliminating blighted conditions within the cra boundary, tangible items such as security cameras are not an eligible expense. At the request of the Kings to tell pricing advisory board. I have added their recommended language that would include the funding for security cameras when combined with an eligible grant program project. We think this would be a preventative measure that would assist in reducing crime and blight in the area. Again, that's for your consideration. It is a policy decision and I'm happy to address any questions. Thank you, ma'am. And do we have any public comment cards for this one? All right, seeing none before we entertain the motion, actually, we'll entertain a motion on the resolution. Ksc cra Twenty-twenty 604, is described. >> We have a motion and second. All right.

Thank MISTER Chair ms rawiller. Is this also afforded to the other cra and why is this necessary within king suit? Through the chair? >> This program is specific to Kingston tale crossing. We don't have a similar program like it and renew Arlington due to the mandatory compliance grant program. This came up and we got an application from someone out of from an applicant, a property owner and the Kings to tell crossing area and in application they had security cameras and we we because we can't fund tangible items. We couldn't included in their funding. They requested that you consider that because it's so important to the area, which is why I'm standing before you today. >> Okay.

You know, we've been working on this for a long time and to your colleagues, you know, the current or is district 10 is really important for the expansion in the area. But I was sais. So tell is the most important in terms of economic development. And I was I'm really, really glad the job past is because it will allow us to continue to expand this area in terms of economic development and putting infrastructure as well.

I just want to let you all know that in order to get into this meeting, security has let you through the second checkpoint. However, they're not set up at adequate amount of time for anybody that wants to attend these meetings to get in before you start. So I just want to again the Kings who tell advisory board and also the onto a new advisory board know that security is not set up adequate equitable and adequate enough time to allow people to get in to provide public comment on whatever items MAY come before this advisory board. I just had a hard time trying to get in. I got in. While Karen was wrapping up the last action item. But I just want you to be aware of that because there MAY be other people that want to come out in the future to get in to publicly comment on each action item. So that's all I want to say.

The council auditors office advised to asked to include investment earnings, increasing the previous balance by just a little over 118,000. Again, a year in remaining funding and a now okay to plan authorize expenditures must be assigned to a program or project. We are obligated to continue to fund the mandatory compliance grant program until all projects are completed, which I estimate to be probably the next 2 years.
