CITY OF LODI COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Request approval to amend Consolidated Plan to reflect a change in the project
description from Van Buskirk Park ADA Retrofit to Van Buskirk Park Improvement
Project
- MEETING DATE: September 3, 1997
PREPARED BY: Community Development Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff is requesting that the Council approve an amendment to the
Consolidated Plan to reflect the change in project description for Van
Buskirk Park, enabling staff to proceed with this project. In order to meet
Federal regulations, Council approval of this change is necessary.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In March of this year, the Council approved the 1997-98 CDBG and
HOME entitlement. The approved entitlement is one component of
the county -wide Consolidated Plan. As a part of that approval, the
Van Buskirk Park Project was described as an ADA retrofit,
benefiting primarily those individuals with mobility limitation handicaps. However, the project will
predominantly benefit the general population of the target area instead. The project will now qualify for
CDBG funds and be described as a "Public Facility and Improvement Project."
The Van Buskirk Park Project has been bid and is awaiting award to the low bidder. No changes are
being proposed to the scope of work or total cost of the project.
FUNDING: CDBG funding already in place, no action requested.
