Summarizing the report, Ken Nordhoff, Assistant Executive Director, explained that mid year the
Agency's finances are evaluated, this being the 18th month of the two-year Budget. He noted the
amendments being proposed were mostly related to capital projects considered in the Special Study
Session on January 16, 2001, and then highlighted some important issues.
Regarding the committed funds to the Pickleweed Community Center expansion, Mr. Nordhoff stated
when last discussed, the sum was $1.5 -million. Based on discussions over the past several months,
including a study of Court Street Plaza, $300,000 of additional Fair, Isaac donations had been
redirected to Court Street Plaza, leaving a total commitment into the Pickleweed Expansion of

$1.2 -million. The balance of the $1.3 -million from Fair, Isaac had been directed to the Court Street
Plaza project, making that project also $1.2 -million. Mr. Nordhoff stated staff would return with options
for consideration, to revert the commitment to $1.5 -million for the Pickleweed Expansion.
At the request of the Agency, Mr. Nordhoff reported that monies initially set up as economic
opportunities in the canal neighborhoods had been redirected into a Canal/Medway Intersection
project; Public Works had initiated some design work for this project and as it came to fruition it would
be brought forward for Agency consideration.
Regarding the economic opportunity monies, Member Heller inquired if the Canal/Medway intersection
would require the entire amount. Responding, Mr. Nordhoff stated this would not be known until the
design was complete and he was recommending the money be committed at this point, to be brought
back for refinement.
Member Phillips moved and Member Miller seconded to adopt the Resolution.
