From: Mark T. Sokolow, City Attorney ~ ',~"" ~aCc-~
Date: September 18, 2009
Subject: P. R. No.15522; Council Meeting September 22,
2009
Attached is P. R. No. 15522 as it pertains to training
materials. The EDC has already ordered and received the
training materials. They have received oral comments from
the Southeast Texas Regional Planning Commission that these
expenses should be reimbursed. Nevertheless, there has not
been written confirmation and the grant agreements have not
been executed. If in fact the grant will not reimburse for
these training materials, then the expenses will remain as
an allocation against the EDC budget. Also attached is
information on the training materials.
