Mr. Teeboom Something about transferring the property to $2 million dollar building to one of these

Mr. Cummings
This one over here.
Alderman Harriott-Gathright
The one over there in the white?
Mr. Cummings
Yep, this one is the non-profit charitable organization which would be the 501(c)3, | mean of course these
groups probably would be happy to take your money but you wouldn’t get your tax deduction | think you’d be
looking for.
Alderman Harriott-Gathright
Ok that’s my question.
Mr. Cummings

Mr. Cummings
Not necessarily. The City would have to raise $4 million dollars in private money or somehow other way come
up with a funding source. But think to your point this New Market Tax Credit is essential to closing the gap in
this project.
Alderman Caron
It’s just acomment. This group that because they are two committees, should that have come to Personnel or
is it because it is a short-term group of people for a section of the PAC project? Just a question.
