If that happens, the contribution from the City's General Fund would be impacted by about $700,000 per year for two years. From the Redevelopment Agency, the commitment would be approximately $3.8 million per year. In exchange for that, the Governor will support an initiative that he will take to the Legislature that will ensure that after two years, they will not take any more of our money. Staff was asked to investigate how the entire amount of funds could be paid from the Redevelopment Agency. B. AUTHORITY COUNSEL None 3 MINUTES PALM DESERT HOUSING AUTHORITY MEETING MAY 13, 2004 C.
