Summary

City staff told the committee the initial property purchases will be funded with PAYGO and that acquisition and relocation costs are not 80% reimbursable, leaving relocation expense responsibility with the city for the near term.

Kathy Bono Capo told the committee that the initial funding for the property acquisitions will come from PAYGO and warned that acquisition and relocation costs "are not reimbursable at 80%," meaning the city will initially bear the costs associated with acquisition and tenant relocation.

Garvey said the city will return later with relocation details; committee members asked about reimbursement eligibility and timing. The transcript does not name specific reimbursement programs or statutes, and the official phrased the reimbursement statement in partial terms in the meeting record.
