Your question was whether the Board of Commissioners could revise the Historic Preservation Revolving Fund Capital Project Ordinance to allow some of the monies in such fund to be used to pay some operating expenses of the HLC.
 
The answer from a legal standpoint is yes, it would be legal for the Board to make that change.  I have checked with Bond Counsel and it does not cause a problem from a bond standpoint, nor does it cause a problem from a general local government law standpoint.
 
If this is a change that you will be proposing, please work with Sara Heasley on getting you a draft amendment to the Capital Project Ordinance to attach to your request to the Board.
 
Let me know if you have any questions.
