Dixon Flynn - City Manager Mpublic hearing 03!11198 Council Communication Meeting Date: March 18, 1998 Page 2 BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City will receive approximately $730,000 in CDBG funds and approximately $201,000 in HOME funds from the Federal government for the coming fiscal year. CDBG funds can be used to address a wide range of community needs, such as park improvements, ADA retrofits, and other community organization based projects. Federal HOME funds, on the other hand, must be used to address housing and housing related activities such as housing rehabilitation and new construction. Community Development staff met on March 10s, 1998, with a representative of Parks and Recreation, Public Works, and the City Manager's office, to discuss the above mentioned proposals. Staff agreed to recommend funding for each applicant in the amount requested, with the exception of the following items. 1. The Lodi Parks and Recreation Dept. requested $255,000 for seven (7) projects. Based on the limited funding available, and the priority list presented by Parks staff, it was agreed that $200,000 would be sufficient for the coming year. 2. The Child Abuse Prevention Council's request for $89,000 would not, in staff's opinion, provide adequate benefit to Lodi residents. The applicant has indicated that the funds would go toward the purchase and renovation of a building in Downtown Stockton, as opposed to funding the operation of the their program at their current facility, on the former State Hospital grounds, in Stockton. While staff believes this to be a valuable program, we do not believe we can justify the amount based upon competing projects. 3. The Eastside Improvement Committee's request for $10,000 for an after-school program at Hale Park, in staff s opinion, was a duplication of services already provided by the Boys and Girls Club in Lodi. Furthermore, the proposed program would be for the summer months only, and would not meet the needs of the children who are enrolled on a year-round schedule. Staffs opinion was that although there was a need for an after-school program, a more comprehensive program should be proposed. For this reason, staff's recommendation was not to fund this proposal. 4. The Boys and Girls Club request for $75,000 for the Teen Center was reviewed, and due to limited funding available, the amount of $50,000, which equals the amount allocated during their start-up last year, was proposed by staff. Also worth noting is that when this program was initially funded in the 1997-98 fiscal year, it was agreed that funding would be restricted from use for operations expenses and that this activity be funded for no more than the two years. This second allocation request would then be considered the last for this activity. We would also suggest the same restriction on use to equipment, rent, utilities, etc. 5. The Public Works Department requested $75,000 for handicap ramp installation. Based on limited funding availability, it was agreed that $50,000 would be sufficient for the coming year. The Loel Senior Center has also requested that the funds that have been allocated to them for the past two years for improvements at their 125 S. Washington Street facility, be combined and reallocated for a multi -phase renovation project of their facilities at 105 S. Washington Street The funds, which total $105,000, would go towards Phase I of that project, which involves the redistribution of existing space to more efficiently serve the current programs of the Center. Staff agreed that his was a viable project, and agreed to recommend the request for reallocation.

Box 1565 Lodi, California 95241 March 17, 1998 Lodi City Council Members City of Lodi 221 W. Pine St. Lodi, California 95240 Dear Mayor Sieglock and Council Members, The executive board of --he newly formed Downtown Lodi Business Partnership has unanimously voted to support the proposal to use $150,000 of CDBG money to fund building a 60 stall parking lot on Elm Street between Sacramento and School Streets. Besides releaving the street of what is a blighted area and now even more blighted and unsafe since the recent fire, the parking stalls would allow for additional and needed parking for the Downtown. As you are probably aware, development has already occurred in the upstairs areas of some buildings. Some of these offices employ large numbers of people. As per the Revitilization Concept Plan, more building owners will be improving their upstairs areas for the office market. This is one important aspect to the success of the Downtown Revitilization. We urge your support to approve this project as one of those receiving CDBG money. Sincerely, �� Barbara McWilliams Vice President -Government Relations Downtown Lodi Business Partnership MEMORANDUM, City of Lodi, Community Development Department To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City Manager From: Community Development Direct* Date: April 1, 1998 Subject: Current Accounting of Prior Years' CDBG Program As requested by Council Member Pennino, the attached is the current balance for prior years' Community Development Block Grant Program. Please refer to the footnotes on some of the projects. We have added these explanations to assist in your review. Additionally, we have not included the current program year as these funds are being drawn down fairly regularly. My best estimate at this point would suggest a fund balance of approximately $100,000 by the end of the current fiscal year. Once we have final accounting for the various projects that are not yet finished, staff will bring this information back to the City Council for possible consideration of additional projects.
