MEETING DATE: August 20,2008 PREPARED BY: Community Development Department RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council set a public hearing for September 3, 2008, to consider and approve community input and proposals for potential uses of the 2008 Mid -Year allocation of CDBG Programfunds and the reallocation of available funds from previous program years. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Beginning with the annual allocation process of CDBG funds for 2008/09 Program year, the City implemented a Council policy of designating 60% of the CDBG funds for City projects and services, and the remaining 40% to Community -Based Organization (CBO) projects and services. The 40 -percent set-aside amounts to $250, 000. Staff was able to recommend only $103,000 of the funding requests for approval, leaving a remainder of $147,000 for CBO's. The City received more than $800,000 in funding requests from CBO's. Rather than move the unallocated funds to eligible City projects and services, the City requested and received authorization from San Joaquin County (which serves as Lodi's Housing and Urban Development Department administrator) to designate those funds for a M id-YearAl location process. This would allow Staff to work with some of the CBO applicants to refine their projects and/or applications to be eligible for a September reallocation of funds. A portion of those funds has already been allocated by Council to the Lodi Police Department—Animal Services Division to fund a spay/neuter program. In addition to the 2008 CDBG funding that has been set aside for this mid -year reallocation, Staff has identified additional funding from previous program years that has not been used and needs to be reallocated. Staff is continuing to evaluate proposals and current needs and is working toward making a final recommendation to the City Manager before the public hearing.
