Tom Patton, identified in the meeting roster as a board member, told the council the transfer represents “the first year's draw or payment” from funds received in the Southpoint Reinvestment Area and asked for council direction to reallocate the amount. “We needed to have the direction from the council to use the $1,200,000 for the reimbursement of the funds that were given to the Southpoint Reinvestment area,” Patton said. He identified the specific budget adjustment as $302,529 to be moved to the Southeast Project Area.
