<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In Georgetown, Housing
Trust appropriations are Recommended by the Community
Preservation Committee on an annual basis based upon requests
coming from the Trust. </font></p>
<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The amount varies from year
to year. At Town Meeting all of the CPC Recommended
Appropriations are voted upon in a CPC Consent Calendar. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">If any appropriations are
called out of the consent calendar then the CPC explains the
reasoning from the floor. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Unless there is an
additional appropriation coming from the Town's general fund,
there should be no general funds "transfers" at all, as CPA
funds, the Affordable Housing Trust's funds, and general funds,
legally cannot be co-mingled.</font></p>
<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Best,</font><br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi All,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Wondering if your CPA Communities have
automatic transfers into your Affordable Housing trusts as a
part of a consent agenda at Town Meeting, or as a generally
reoccurring warrant article for a general funds transfer. If
so, do you have a prepared argument to justify before Town
Meeting?<o:p></o:p></p>
