Be it further understood that the setting aside of this money is being done now until such time as the Council, in the future, can make a decision as to the exact allocation of the cost of these projects, and it does not in any way mean that the Council may not eventually decide to, either fund all of the project of the EPA fund, or possibly assess all or a portion of it to the benefitted properties. The point of the motion is to merely set aside the monies for use in this area, if it is so desired by the Council at a future date.
