In response to Councilmember Montgomery, he clarified that $1.4 million is the amount of the subsidy. Mr. Kueny clarified that tax credits are brought in under one funding source with the 15 year rental clause. He said the very low and low income housing would then have to be at the upper limit of the income category.

Ethel Sulkis, 270 Sierra Avenue, requested that the Agency not allow the units to be offered on a rental basis, but require them to be "for sale" units only.
