A budget amendment <br />will be necessary to include all projects recommended by the EDRSTB for FY14, as the amount <br />recommended by the Board exceeds the placeholder budget approvedby City Council. She <br />reminded the Board of the projects approved for funding in FY14. <br />Ms. Riganti then provided an update on prior economic development sales tax projects. The <br />Board requested, and Ms. Riganti agreed, to create a reporting mechanism to track projects, <br />which would be provided to the Board on a quarterly basis <br />Ms. Rigantirequested direction and guidance from the Board as to the timing for applications. <br />Consensus was that an application acceptance period on a quarterly basis, with theflexibility to <br />entertain applications requiring timely submittal was acceptable.
