funding the incremental costs of EVI associated with the SVCE recommended model code for this cycle; and
• Authorize staff to re-allocate unspent or future programs dollars up to $6M to cover the impact of the EVI model code on affordable housing – dollars would be added above the currently budgeted $1.5M as needed.
