Hollister provided <br />the Committee with a copy of the information previously provided in October 2008. Galvan <br />reminded the Committee that the County has made a commitment of $SOOk towards the purchase <br />of the building and they are again requesting the City's commitment of $1.5 million. Mayor <br />Santos reminded the Committee that in October 2008, it was suggested that the City could <br />commit approx. $SOOk of CDBG funds but advised Galvan and Rose Padilla to return to the <br />County to request more assistance. The Mayor stated that at this time, it was fiscally impossible <br />for the City to commit to anymore money.
