AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Approving Reallocation of Community Development Block Grant
Funds to Graffiti Abatement Program
MEETING DATE: November 19,2008
PREPARED BY: Community Development Department
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution approving reallocation of Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to the Graffiti Abatement
Program.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City receives about $750,000 annually for the CDBG program,
which funds several housing and community development activities.
In 2008-09, the City designated $79,725 to the graffiti abatement
program.
Subsequent review of the program by staff indicates a need to allocate approximately $2,500 in
additional funds to cover the costs of implementing the activity, including staff time to log requests for
graffiti removal, training opportunities, and program oversight. Staff proposes reallocating the $2,500
from the Lodi Library accessible entry project (LOD 08-02), which recently received bids for significantly
less than the project's estimated cost. The funds cannot be allocated without Council approval, as they
are being moved between different uses, from Public Improvementsto Public Services.
FISCAL IMPACT: N/A
FUNDING AVAILABLE: 2008/09 Community Development Block Grant Fund
