AGENDA TITLE: Conduct a Public Hearing to Approve Pre -Award Expenditure of Community Development
Block Grant Funds
MEETING DATE: May 6, 1998
PREPARED BY: Community Development Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve the expenditure of General Fund Capital Outlay
dollars for the acquisition and development of property located at
11-17 West Elm Street with repayment from the Community Development
Block Grant subsequent to the award of funds in July 1998.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Each year the City of Lodi receives its Community Development Block
Grant allocation after July 1, 1998. For the coming program year, the City
Council has approved the allocation of $150,000 for the acquisition and
improvement of properties located at 11, 15 and 17 West Elm Street for a
surface parking lot. In an effort to move this project forward in a timely manner, staff is desirous of completing the
acquisition prior to July 1, 1998. Pursuant to Federal regulations, the City may utilize another funding source in
anticipation of a repayment by the Block Grant providing a public hearing has been conducted, the City Council
approves of the "Pre Award" Expenditure and the activity is part of the eligible program.
Staff has had an on-going dialogue with the owners of the aforementioned properties. In order to take advantage of
the acceptance of the owners to sell the property to the City, we would like to purchase now rather than wait the
several months until the funds are received from the Department of Housing and Development (HUD). A side
bonus to moving this project forward may be the timing benefit for construction prior to the rainy season this fall.
Reimbursement to the General Fund Capital Outlay will occur once the funds are received subsequent to
July 1, 1998.
FUNDING: Requested Appropriation: _$100,000 General Fund Capital Outlay
