Following discussion, during which concerns were expressed related to
Burbank Housing' s progress in securing the financing and the
possibility of the Community Development Agency being left without a
project after expending $60,000. It was the consensus of the Agency
to have Burbank Housing check to see if the $60,000 could be advanced
from CDBG and, if not, then bring the item back to the Agency for
further consideration.

Executive Director Netter explained the resolution for consideration
and responded to Agency questions regarding same. In response to
Agency Member Gallagher's comment for the record regarding Executive
Director's instructions for the referenced check to be prepered prior
to Agency approval of same, Mr. Netter explained the mechanics of
procedures with a hold on the check until receipt of Agency approval
because for the need for efficiency in timing not to incur penalties.
The check had to be submitted by May 10, 1993. If the loan was not
approved, the check would still be processed but the funds would come
entirely from the CDA projects account and not from the housing
set aside funds, therefore, it became merely a bookkeeping issue.
Mr. Netter further explained that if this action is not approved by
the Agency, then the referenced amount would have to come directly out
of the City's General Fund.
