The Select Budget Committee Gentlemen four Accountable 119 148 Relating to funding for Housing and Community Development Programs, Committee recommends the bill passed. Council member, HERBOLD. Thank you. This bill allows unused community development block grant funds from previous years to be spent during 2017. It adds 1.2 million to multifamily rental, housing preservation and development, specifically as it relates to economic development items. It also adds 275,004 only in Seattle Neighborhood Business District program for a 2017 total of $750,000. And it also adds funds for small business and entrepreneurial support of $95,000. It also takes an action necessary under HUD regulations regarding disposition of property to allow for the transfer of ownership of the Greenwood Senior Center to the Phinney Neighborhood Association. There's no financial impact there, and that's simply because any change in funds from committee development block grants over $50,000 requires council action. Very good. Any further questions on this agenda item? Councilmember Johnson just want to say I've met with the Phinney Neighborhood Association about this on several occasions. They're very excited about this transfer of property. There's a lot of work to do on that Greenwood Senior Center, but once it's completed, it's going to be a really wonderful, revamped jewel of their community. Great. Excellent. Okay. Okay. I think we're ready to vote. Please call the roll on the passage of the bill. Thanks. Shaw. Gonzalez. Herbold, II Johnson. Let's gather I O'Brien. President Harrell. Hi. Seven in favor and unopposed.
