KEVIN URBAN Kevin Urban: What kind of land acquisitions are we talking about? Is that the waterfront? 2 August 3. 2017 CONT. Mayor Reiman: This may be various easements or MAYOR REIMAN something along the waterfront, basically it is a fully funded Ordinance from the Capital Fund. So it just sets up $650,000 from our cash account in case we need to do any type of Capital Project for utilization. So there are no specific items tied to it. It's just an appropriation. We can't spend it out of Capital once we do as an Ordinance. But once we were to do it, it would be put on the bill list and put on a resolution if we are going to buy anything. I suspect though it may wind up for funding towards the matching dollars that we need for the Green Acres Project along the Waterfront and for possible easements.
