What: Docket 250-26, a Community Preservation Committee recommendation to appropriate $1,900,000 in Community Preservation Act funds to the Planning & Development Department for a grant to the Newton Affordable Housing Trust for its FY27 funding. The sources are $505,939.35 from the Community Housing FY24 Reserve Account and $1,394,060.65 from Unrestricted Prior Year Reserves.
Where it stands: The Public Facilities Committee had approved it 4-0 before the Council, on September 22, referred it to the Zoning & Planning and Finance Committees by 23-0-1.
Next: Review by the Zoning & Planning and Finance Committees; no dates appear in the Actions.
Councilor Oliver, as Council President, moved to refer the item to the Zoning & Planning and Finance Committees because it had been referred to Public Facilities and Finance in error; under the Council Rules all Community Preservation recommendations go to Zoning & Planning. Approved by voice vote, 23-0-1 (Councilor Dahmubed absent).
