City Attorney Edwards reported the County Office of Community Development has 2 0,1advised us that we have unexpended entitlement funds and that a HUD determination has been made that so long as a project or projects remain active, and ongoing progress is being accomplished, the City -County Agreement remains in effect until such time that all projects are completed. Mr. Edwards stated the City needs to advise the Board of Supervisors if we choose to re -program the $300,000 currently allocated for a fire station. City Attorney Edwards said HUD questions the Fire Station as an eligible project, as they are of the opinion that the location of the station would not sufficiently serve an adequate low and moderate income persons requirement. If the City is going to re -program the $300,000 into an eligible project, such as sewers, it must be done before July 1, 1982. Council consensus was that more time was needed to study the Fire Station project and weigh all the data. Moved by Councilman Rios, seconded by Councilwoman Garcia, to hold the item over to the next Council Meeting. Unanimous vote. Finance Audit City Attorney Edwards reported that subsequent to his preparing the Agenda Report in the Council's packet, a meeting was held with Mayor Huntoon, the firm of Quezada, Navarro & Co., and him.

Mr. Edwards continued that Quezada, Navarro & Co. have offered to do this limited audit work for a fee of $350.00.
