Which other neighborhood?

Understanding that eleven minutes wasn't enough for me to grasp very much at last week's city council meeting, I'm still puzzled by one comment.

As Mrs. Baird reported at her blog:

Jason Hublar of the Falling Run Group questioned where the money would be spent if the fees were raised. He said the $100,000 appropriated was spent in another neighborhood. A representative from the Stormwater board said the funds are used on a case by case basis.

Do we yet know which neighborhood was being referenced here as the recipient of money that Mr. Hublar thought was coming his neighborhood's way?

I'm just curious, given that the Coffey strategy throughout the current stormwater debate has been to divide the city's neighborhoods, pitting them against each other to bob for farthings, when their real collective ire should be directed against Coffey and his do-nothing, dilettante council compatriots.
