Member Etten opined this would be a good way for staff and the <br />community to inform that process as part of the comprehensive plan update; <br />while outside consultants could provide assistance on other priorities to move <br />them forward. Member Etten stated he would love to talk about the acquisition <br />fiind, but didn't think there was sufficient REDA support for it at this time; and <br />therefore could support reducing the revolving loan fund, creating a smaller <br />levy and fiind transfer. <br />President Roe agreed with the limited experience of the REDA at this first <br />budget cycle, and opined it allowed the RED (� to work things out as it <br />proceeded forward as funding was allocated and policies put in place as <br />experience grew. However, President Roe stateci while he was supportive of <br />funding a multi-family acquisition prograrri in the fttture, he was not willing to <br />do so at this point, nor to add an additional' $200,a00 to the levy to support it. <br />President Roe spoke in support of the motion, acknowledging priorities but not <br />moving all the way toward staffir�� until the REDA has a better understanding. <br />Ayes: McGehee, Willmus, Roe, Lalilierte, and Etten <br />Nays: None. <br />Motion carried. <br />Recess <br />President Roe recessed the meeting at approximately 6:13 p.m., and reconvened at <br />approximately 6:20 p.m. <br />d.
