Susan,
1. Yes it is a budget amendment because we did not know dunng the 2010 budget process there was going to be a Round 3 of
funding. MN Hsg did not apply for Round 3 funding unbl Oct of 2009 and where not awarded funding until very recently. I have an
email from them today asWng how quickiy we can get the signed grant agreements to them bewuse NieghborWOrks is sending
them the funding today and they must have fully executed grant agreements from subgrantees. They understand our process is a
bit more complicated than small non profit organizations but NieghborWorks really does not care.
2. The $2,430 is a Round 2 grant extension and it was include in the 2010 budget.
The new funds and grant extension are include in one grant agreement and the agreement is broken out exactly as described.
Please let me know if you need any further information.
Thank you.

Susan,
May I ask your assistance in coordinating a response on the following:
i. Item is a budget amendment - 5:30 session; correct?
2. What is the reason the $2,430 in grant extension does not require a budget amendment at this time?
Thanks.
