For PY 50, the CAO has calculated total related costs to be approximately $8.5 million. Of this amount, approximately $6.0 million can be funded with CDBG funds. This leaves $2.5 million in unfunded related costs that the Council and Mayor may consider funding with the General Fund. For reference, the PY 49 estimated $1.2 million in related costs to be paid by the General Fund.

In most cases, CAP 46 is higher than CAP 45, which was used to calculate related costs in PY 49.
