HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda Report - May 23, 1984J CION Mny City Manager Glaves presented *he following letter which had DEVELM'FNT been received from the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban BIM CtiA1`Tf Deve 1 opment : PR MANS URBAN COLM A(M- "As you know, the recently enacted 1984 Technical Amendments him to the Housing and C'amtnity Development Act of 1974 make it possible for San Joaquin to qualify as an urban county under the CaYmmity Development Block Gant Program. Ibis qualification potential results from a new statutory opporttmity for the City of Nodi to defer its metropolitan city status for Federal Fiscal Year 1985, and to participate in the CEW, Program as a part of the urban county. Without Lodi's deferment, San Joaquin cannot achieve the necessary 200,000 participating population. Please note that Lodi will not lose its entitlement status should it defer its metropolitan city status and should San Joaquin subsequently fail to qualify for sane reason. Thus, the election to defer metropolitan city status would only affect the form of Lodi's participation in the entitlement program, not the City's right to entitlement funds. Under current legislation, your deferment of metropolitan city status would assure Lodi's participation in the urban county through Federal Fiscal Year 1987. Unless the statute is changed before Fiscal Year 1988, the City would resume its metropolitan city status that fiscal year. Because FY 85 entitlement grant amounts cannot be ccxrputed nationwide until the number and carposition of all entitlement jurisdictions have been established, it is critical that the urban county qualification process be completed in a timely manner. We have given San Joaquin County until December 7, 1984, to submit its cooperation agreements and other required material to this office. We understand that the City and San Joaquin County have been in communication regarding the urban county question for sane time, and our �ztaff has also been in contact with both parties. We anticipate the resolution of all issues prior to Decenber 7, 1984." City Manager Glaves apprised the Council that urban county qualifications would entitle the County and the cities of Lodi, Nbnteca, Tracy, Ripon, and Eocalon to jointly receive an estimated $2.6 million in LIDG fund during each of the next three years; however, in order to acccmmplish this objective, it would he necessary for the Council to take certain actions which were outlined.
