However, the City Council eliminated one of the CCN recommended projects and increased the contingency fund to $110,240. The CCN would like Council's au- thorization to review the unfunded project requests as well as new projects at its January, 1986 meeting and make recommendations to forward to the City Council. A complete discussion of this recommendation is contained in the November 19, 1985; CCN meeting minutes.

Comment: This fall, the CCN received a request for $300,000 in CDBG funds for the purpose of developing and administering an economic development revolving loan fund. The purpose of the fund would be to in- crease employment opportunities within Iowa City, especially for low- and moderate -income residents, and to expand the tax base. Although the CCN expressed support for the concept, they felt that the proposal lacked specificity, for example targeting methods and performance standards for job creation. At its Novem- ber 19, 1985, meeting, the CCN expressed an interest in pursuing the development of the revolving loan fund concept for a possible request for the 1987 CDBG pro- gram year.
