Glaves City Manager of Lodi City Hall - 221 West Pine Street Lodi, CA 95240 Dear Mr. Glaves: SUBJECT: Urban County Entitlement Status 1984 Technical Amendments City of Lodi As you know, the recently enacted Housing and Community Development Act Joaquin to qualify as an urban county Grant Program. t 1984 Technical Amendments to the of 1974 make it possible for San under the Community Development Block This qualification potential results from a new statutory opportunity for the City of Lodi to defer its metropolitan city status for Federal Fiscal Year 1985, and to participate in the CDBG Program as a part of the urban county. Without Lodi's deferment, S?n 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 some 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 cicy 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 computed nationwide until the number and composition 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. 1) N We understand that the City and San Joaquin County have been in com- munication regarding the urban county question for some time, and our staff has also been in contact with both, parties. We anticipate the resolution of all issues prior to December 7, 1984. Please call Mike Daugherty, Community Planning & Development Representative, it there are questions, or if we can be of any assistance. Sincerely, 'j&' 0 Salvatore P. Tedesco Acting Director, Office of Community Planning & Development cc: Gaye Papais CDBG Coordinator 2 For ease of access by both City staff and future monitors, we suggest that all documentation pertaining to environmental clear,4aces be amalga- mated into a single ERR file. Our monitoring resulted in no negative findings. City staff has done a fine job in bringing your activities quickly through the implementation stage.

'aves City Manager of Lodi City Hall - 221 West Pine Street Lodi, CA 95240 Dear Mr. Glaves: SUBJECT: Regular Monitoring Community Development Block Grant Program B -84 -MC -06-0038 City of Lodi On November 2, 1984, Mike Daugherty of my staff visited Lodi to monitor the City's progress in carrying out its approved CDBG activities and to review your EnvironmenLal Review Record for compliance with the provisions of 24 CFR, Part 58. Program Progress Lodi received its first CDBG entitlement grant, totalling $393,000, in June, 1984. Funds were reserved for storm drain and water system improve- ments in lower income neighborhoods, a sewer needs analysis, and general administrative costs. The City is making excellent progress in the utilization of its grant funds. All physical improvement projects are well underway, and the sewer analysis has been finished. It appears that your FY 84 program will be essentially complete by the end of January, 1985. According to our records, no drawdowns have yet made under your CDBG Letter of Credit. If local funds have been used to make construction progress payments, you may wish to begin drawing down Federal funds to reim- burse City accounts. Environmental Review Record Our limited review of your CDBG Environmental Review Record (ERR) indi- cates that the City has complied with the applicable provisions of 24 CFR, part 58. Your files contained the necessary material regarding release of funds, public notification, level of clearance, and source documentation.
