These issues were discussed by the Board at its July 8, 1980 meeting in order that the staff would have the benefit of the I ~oard's thoughts prior to formulating final recommendations. At its July 8, 1980 feeting, the Board instructed the staff to prepare and present its recornmenda- [ions at the September 9, 1980 Board meeting. fACKGROUND j with the exception of fiscal year 1978-1979, when appropriations to the poard's construction fund were curtailed by the General Assembly, the Board has !'ccepted applications for financial assistance from proposed project sponsors n a first come first served basis.
