RE: Resolution
Ken, in response to your note, I do not believe that it will impact any general fund
monies. I have emailed the state for a more specific breakdown of how this money is
used, but I cannot find anything in my documentation that indicates this will impact our .
General Fund money.
After reading this, I would strongly suggest that Lynne review it to make sure that it is in
compliance with our comp. Plan because the main point of the resolution is that it does
comply with the local government's comp. Plan.
