AGENDA TITLE: Public Hearing to Consider Adopting Resolutions Approving the Final 2012/13
Action Plan for the Community Development Block Grant Program and the Section
108 Loan Guarantee Program Application.
MEETING DATE: May 2,2012
PREPARED BY: Community Development Director
RECOMMENDEDACTION: Public hearing to consider adopting Resolutions approving the Final
2012/13 Action Plan for the Community Development Block Grant
Program and the Section 108 Loan Guarantee Program Application.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The 2012/13 Action Plan is the annual implementing document that
provides a detailed description of each activity proposed for the
fiscal year, as well as the City's CDBG budget and goals for the
fiscal year.
The City will receive $630,001 in CDBG funds from the federal government for the coming fiscal year, a
6.7 percent reduction from 2011/12. That annual allocation is being supplemented with an additional
$111,540 in Program Income, for a total funding amountfor 2012/13 of $741,541.
As per federal regulations, the draft Action Plan documents that were approved by the City Council on
March 21, 2012, have been available for public review and comment the past 30 days. During that
period, one letter was received from the Lodi community voicing support for the funding of the
Spay/Neuter Program. That letter, which is attached to this staff report as Exhibit A, will be incorporated
into the Annual Action Plan document which will be forwarded for approval as submitted. The City
Council should authorize staff to make minor changes to the Consolidated Plan documents in response
to comments received and deemed necessary by the U.S Department of Housing and Urban
Development.
CDBG funds can be used for a wide range of community development projects as long as they meet a
national objective. The national objectives are 1) to address the needs of low- to moderate -income
persons, 2) to eliminate slum or blighted conditions, and 3) to resolve an urgent need. During the
program year that begins July 1 , 2012, the City plans to fund public facilities improvements,
infrastructure, public services, program administration, and removal of material and architectural barriers
which restrict the mobility and accessibility of elderly or handicapped persons to publicly -owned and
privately -owned buildings, facilities, and improvements, removal of material and architectural barriers
which restrict the mobility and accessibility of elderly or handicapped persons to publicly -owned and
privately -owned buildings, facilities, and improvements.

• Salvation Army — Food Programs ($15,000)
The Action Plan document, which is attached as Exhibit D, must be adopted and submitted to HUD no
later than May 15, 2012 in order to receive funding beginning July 1, 2012.
Section 108 Loan Authorization
One other element of the 2012/13 Annual Action Plan is the authorization for the City to pursue an
application for a Section 108 Loan from HUD for ADA Improvements at the Grape Bowl facility.
For the Grape Bowl Project, an estimated $808,856 worth of the publicfacility improvements have been
identified as potentially eligible for CDBG funding as removal of architectural barriers to accessibility
within that facility.
Section 108 is the loan guarantee provision of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
program that provides communities with a source of financing for economic development, housing
rehabilitation, public facilities, and large-scale physical development projects. Section 108 loans are not
risk-free, however; local governments borrowing funds guaranteed by Section 108 must pledge their
current and future CDBG allocations to cover the loan amount as security for the loan. Additional
security will also be required to assure repayment of guaranteed obligations. The additional security
requirements will be determined on a case-by-case basis, but could include assets financed by the
guaranteed loan.
The maximum repayment period for a Section 108 loan is 20 years. However, based upon previous City
Council direction, this loan application specifies a loan term of 15 years and requests that the annual
principle and interest payment installments of approximately $67,000 be drawn directly from the City's
annual CDBG entitlement allocation each year, beginning with the 2013/14 allocation. It is intended that
the annual loan payments will be drawn against the City's 60 percent set-aside of available funds and not
adversely impact the funding available for community-based organizations.

May 2,2012
Page 3 of 3
The Section 108 application, which is attached as Exhibit E, also clarifies that in the event that CDBG
funds are no longer available for repayment of the Section 108 loan, the City pledges its General Fund
as the alternative source for repayment, following the same repayment schedule identified for the CDBG
funds.
FISCAL IMPACT: CDBG are federal funds. Capital improvements allow for maintenance
costs to be reduced. Administration costs are paid via a 20 percent set-
aside of the grant funds.
The application to the Section 108 Loan Guarantee Program for the Grape Bowl Improvement Project
commits up to $67,000 of the City's annual allocation of CDBG funds from 2013 through 2028 toward the
repayment of that loan, and further pledges the City's General Fund as an alternative source in the event
CDBG Program funds are no longer available.

Subject: CDBG Grant allocation for the City of Lodi Spay and Neuter program 2011-2012.
Randi Johl, City Clerk. Please forward this to Mayor Mounce, the Lodi City
Council members, the City Manager, City Attorney, Joseph Wood,
Communications Director, Chief of Police, and Lt. Steve Carillo.
Lady and gentlemen, several shirt sleeve meetings ago I stood up to put a plug in
for the Lodi Spay and Neuter program because it had just ran out of money. I
have never been good at public speaking (which has not changed), so I missed
some points that I had hoped to make, and I was not sure that my concerns were
appropriate to be brought up in that particular meeting. I will not bore you with
with major un -necessary details as I know you all are overloaded with your day to
day responsibilities.
I sent the City Council a long email about a year ago to express my thanks for
the generous allocation of CDBG money for the spay and neuter program, and I
stated that I felt that it was sufficient to make progress on the goal of the program
which for the cat part is to work towards the reduction of the feral cats (free
roaming including abandoned and stray homeless cats), thereby reducing the
euthanasia rate in the Lodi Animal Shelter. The reason that the money
was depleted early is that ACT Clinic, who performed spays on female feral cats
for $30.00 (whether in heat or pregnant or not), and neuters for male feral cats,
with Lodi CDBG vouchers. Incidentally, this was done at less than cost due to
their dedication to eventually reducing the euthanasia rates for cats to "no
kill" ratings.
Due to a suspected problem that amounted to a small amount of money, and
a technicality, ACT Clinic was no longer allowed to process Lodi vouchers for at
least one year. The local Veterinarians would not do the work for even the
amount covered on the vouchers at the time ($42.00), so the vouchers were
increased to $52.00 for feral cats. Here's the math: For $15,000, you can fix 500
cats for $30.00 each or you can fix 288 cats for $52.00. That move shot the Lodi
CDBG spay and neuter program in it's own foot and now we are in the peak of
the first breeding and kitten season with no help. Most trappers can't afford to
pay for the spay and neuter process, however some of us are still digging deep in
our pockets to keep some progress going.
In 2010 Calendar year, the Lodi Animal Shelter euthanized 975 cats (3.53 per
day that the shelter was open). Note: Estimated 23 days per month.
In 2011 calendar year, the Lodi Animal Shelter euthanized 672 cats (2.43 per day
that the shelter was open).
I fear that the last few years progress that has been made will be for nothing if we
go another three months without vouchers (until the 2012-2013 period begins).
That is too many cat lives taken!
The statistics in comparison to other local area cities look pretty good but, they
are done using a intake versus euthanasia count. To compare these statistics is
not a good way to see the real picture due to the size and population of the city's
and that the intake is not a constant due to the difference in the number of animal
services officers, number of trappers, etc. The real picture is in the count, not the
percentage.
If there is any reallocation money that can be applied to the spay and neuter
program, it would really be appreciated.
I sincerely hope that ACT Clinic will be allowed to save the City of Lodi money in
the near future, as getting the best bang for the buck is important.
Your consideration is appreciated.

2012-13 ACTION PLAN
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The 2012-13 Action Plan is a one-year plan to address housing and community
development needs in the City of Lodi, with a particular focus on the needs of and low-
income households. This is the fourth year of the implementation of the five-year
Consolidated Plan. Both the Consolidated Plan and the Action Plan are implemented by
the Neighborhood Services Division in the Community Development Department.
The City estimates that it will receive $630,001 from the federal Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. Unexpended prior year funds to be used in
the 2012-13 program year are estimated to be $779,969. This includes $111,540 in un-
committed program income and $358,629 made available through the Urban County as
part of the separation agreement. The City also plans to apply for a Section 108 loan for
the Grape Bowl improvements. The estimated loan amount is $700,000. The total CDBG
funding estimated to be available in the 2012-13 program year is $2,109,970.
The City plans to meet its community development and housing needs by also applying
for other grant funding sources, including HOME and CalHome funds available through
the California Department of Housing and Community Development.
City staff encouraged citizen participation throughout the Action Plan process. This
included consulting local organizations, holding public meetings, and encouraging
public comment during the public review period. Using research and input from the
public, City staff formulated the objectives and outcomes that are briefly described
below.
OBJECTIVES
The City's key objectives for the 2012-13 funding period include the following:
• Improve the ability of elderly and disabled residents to access their homes,
the City's public facilities, and City streets and sidewalks;
• Increase the supply of affordable housing;
• Improve the condition of the City's housing stock;
• Improve public facilities benefitting low-income areas and targeted low-
income populations;
• Remove blighting influences in low-income areas;
• Support community organizations to make improvements to their facilities;
and
• Assist community-based organizations to provide fair housing and basic
needs programs to target -income residents.
2012-13 ACTION PLAN
OUTCOMES
Housing
The City will improve accessibility and safety in the home for disabled persons through
the continuation of the Home Accessibility Modifications program operated by DRAIL.
New affordable housing units will be produced by the Tienda Drive senior housing
project which is expected to complete this year. The City will improve the City's housing
stock by implementing a Housing Rehabilitation Program.
Public Facilities
Barriers to the disabled and elderly will be removed as part of several public facility and
right-of-way improvement projects. Public facility improvements will also benefit low-
income areas and target populations (elderly, homeless and disabled), and remove
blighting influences.
Public Services
Public service programs will reduce blight, reduce hazards to health and safety, and meet
basic needs.
LEAD AGENCY
The Neighborhood Services Division, within the Community Development Department,
serves as the lead agency for the administration of CDBG funds. Questions regarding this
Action Plan should be directed to the staff within this division at:

PUBLIC REVIEW AND COMMENT
This plan was made available for public review during a public comment period from
April 2, 2012 to May 2, 2012. A public notice announcing its availability was published in
the Lodi News -Sentinel on March 2, 2012. Public hearings on the Action Plan were held on
March 21 and May 2, 2012 at the Lodi City Council meeting. Public comment received is
summarized in Appendix D.
INTRODUCTION
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires all
government entities receiving federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
funds to prepare an annual Action Plan. The Action Plan outlines funding priorities and
discusses how activities will meet the community needs identified in the 2009-2014
Consolidated Plan. The activities described in this Action Plan are proposed to be
undertaken during the period between July 1, 2012 and June 30, 2013. Some activities
such as facility and right-of-way improvements may take longer to complete.
2012-13 ACTION PLAN
The major objectives of activities undertaken during the 2012-2013 funding year will be
to:
• Improve the ability of elderly and disabled residents to access their homes,
the City's public facilities, and City streets and sidewalks;
• Increase the supply of affordable housing;
• Improve the condition of the City's housing stock;
• Improve public facilities benefitting low-income areas and targeted low-
income populations;
• Remove blighting influences in low-income areas;
• Support community organizations to make improvements to their facilities;
and
• Assist community-based organizations to provide fair housing and food
assistance programs to target -income residents.
RESOURCES
The City estimates that it will receive $630,001 from the federal Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) program as it's entitlement amount. The City
currently expects to have a balance of $779,969 in prior year funds that will be available
in the 2012-13 year.
Of the prior year funds, the City estimates $111,540 in un -committed 2011-12 program
income. This Action Plan will allocate that program income. This program income was
received from San Joaquin County as part of the City's separation from the Urban
County CDBG program. The City does not expect to receive any program income in
2012-13.
Previously allocated unexpended prior year funds to be used in the 2012-13 program
year are estimated to total $668,429. This consists of prior year projects that are currently
underway but planned to be completed in 2012-13, and new planned projects.
The City is planning to receive $358,629 in late 2011-12 from San Joaquin County as part
of the City's separation from the Urban County CDBG program. As of the date of this
plan, those funds have yet to be transferred from the County to the City. The City expects
those funds to be available in May, 2012 and partially expended before July 1, 2012.
The City also plans to apply for a Section 108 loan for the Grape Bowl improvements. The
estimated loan amount is $700,000. Staff will begin the application process with the
approval of this Action Plan. Funding would be expected in August of 2012.
2012-13 ACTION PLAN
The total CDBG funding estimated to be available in the 2012-13 program year is
$2,109,970.
The City also plans to meet its community development and housing needs by applying
for other grant funding sources, including HOME and CalHome funds available through
the California Department of Housing and Community Development.
ACTIVITIES TO BE UNDERTAKEN
The activities to be undertaken during fiscal year 2012-13 are summarized in Table 1. For
each activity, the one-year accomplishment and the amount of CDBG funding allocated
are identified. The majority of activities identified are expected to be completed no later
than June 30, 2013.
The City used a rating tool to make project recommendations. Consideration was given to a
variety of thresholds that projects must meet to comply with CDBG objectives, including
meeting one of the national objectives and addressing one of the community priorities set
out in the Consolidated Plan. The rating system also took into account activity need and
justification, cost reasonableness and effectiveness, activity management and
implementation, experience with similar activities, past performance, leveraged funds, and
completeness of the application. Project recommendations were for those projects
determined most likely to be successful and maintain compliance with CDBG regulations.

GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION
Target Area Distribution
Geographic distribution is predicated, for the most part, on the nature of the activity to
be funded. Exhibit "A" shows the proposed projects to be funded in program year 2012-
13 in relation to the City's target areas. Not all of the activities funded through the CDBG
program are shown in Exhibit "A", since some are community -wide.
2012-13 ACTION PLAN
Minority Area Distribution
The City of Lodi strives to make all of its programs available to eligible target -income
residents regardless of sex, race, religious background, disability, or other arbitrary
factors. As a result, many programs, including fair housing, employment, youth, and
senior services, will be available to residents citywide. Programs with a specific location
are located in areas with varying levels of minority concentration. Table 1 details the
proposed projects for the City of Lodi; of these, the majority are available on a citywide
basis.
A racial/ethnic concentration is considered to exist when a racial/ethnic group's
percentage in a certain area is greater than that of the group's overall population
percentage in the community. A high concentration is present when the group's
population in an area is double or more the group's percentage representation in the
community.
There are nine areas of overall minority concentration in Lodi. Please see "Exhibit "B"
for a map of proposed activities in relation to areas of minority concentration. These
areas will benefit from programs administered at City Hall which are available to
residents throughout the community. The majority of projects (services and facility
improvements) will occur at existing facilities in the City which serve all areas and
residents of the City. No requests for funding were received from service providers that
would principally benefit areas with a minority concentration.
IV. OTHER INFORMATION
HOMELESS AND OTHER SPECIAL NEEDS POPULATIONS
The City's strategy related to the needs of the homeless, those at risk of homelessness,
and other special needs populations involves the funding of supportive services in Lodi
or regional services, such as fair housing counseling or food assistance services. The City
also assists with construction needs of emergency shelter and transitional housing
facilities.
Currently, many homeless services are available in Lodi through the Salvation Army,
and the City will continue to work closely with the Salvation Army and other
organizations to determine how the needs of the homeless population can be met. In
2012-13, the City will fund improvements to Lodi House. Lodi House is a home for
formerly homeless women with families transitioning from shelters to stable housing. In
recent years, the City has also provided substantial funding to the Salvation Army for
both their emergency shelter and transitional housing facilities.
In addition to facility improvement, the City will fund programs and services to assist its
homeless and special needs populations in 2012-13. These include the following:
• Food assistance programs, through the public services grants to
Salvation Army and the Second Harvest Food Bank;
2012-13 ACTION PLAN
• Home accessibility modifications that increase the ability of individuals
to secure safe and decent housing meeting their needs, through
partnership with DRAIL; and
• Fair housing services provided by San Joaquin Fair Housing.
A City staff representative regularly attends "A Hand Up" homeless committee, which
brings together the region's homeless service providers and advocates to consider the
best ways to address homelessness. The meetings help to ensure that there is little
duplication of services, increasing the effectiveness of a limited amount of funding.
In addition, the City's Housing Element includes several programs that provide for the
development of affordable housing and removal of constraints to the placement of
emergency shelters.
ADDRESSING OBSTACLES TO MEETING UNDERSERVED
NEEDS
While there are several constraints to meeting the needs of target -income residents
(please refer to the Consolidated Plan for a detailed list), the primary obstacle to meeting
the needs of target -income residents is that there is a lack of funding to fully address all
needs. The economic challenges facing the nation have forced many non -profits to cut
services at a time when governmental entities and others are least able to provide them.
The City attempts to address significant and rising levels of need by evaluating leveraged
funds in grant application review, as well as by directly funding several programs with
widespread benefit. The City also supports non -profits' efforts to raise private funds.
Another obstacle to meeting underserved needs is that the location of many available
services is in the City of Stockton. The City works closely with the transit agencies to
improve access, and there are hourly public transportation linkages between Lodi and
Stockton. The City has also encouraged non-profit agencies to operate "satellite" offices
within the City of Lodi.
EFFORTS TO FOSTER AND MAINTAIN AFFORDABLE
HOUSING
Although the current economy offers significant challenges to many households, one
bright side is that the housing stock affordable to low-income families has expanded
significantly as a result of falling prices and historically low interest rates.
Based on the median income published by HUD, a four -person low-income household
(80% AMI) can currently afford a mortgage of about $280,000 and a one-person
household could afford about $184,000.
For the 12 months ending January 2012, the median home sales price was $145,000. The
median rent for the same period was $1,334.
2012-13 ACTION PLAN
In 2012-13, the City will offer several programs to foster and maintain affordable
housing. The home accessibility modification program operated by DRAIL will assist
disabled persons with the improvements necessary to remain in their own homes.
Improvements to the Lodi House will address needed repairs to improve energy
efficiency, thus reducing the operating cost of the facility. The Housing Rehabilitation
Program will assist low-income homeowners with needed repairs.
Many of the City's efforts to foster and maintain affordable housing relate to the Housing
Element. The City recently updated its General Plan Housing Element, which was
certified in 2011. The City's 2010-16 Housing Element includes a number of important
programs to facilitate the development of affordable housing in Lodi. These include the
following.
• Zoning Ordinance revisions. The City will revise the Lodi Municipal Code
(Zoning Ordinance) to reduce barriers to, and provide incentives for, the
construction and conservation of a variety of housing types.
• Revise and Monitor the Growth Management Program. The City will
exempt affordable housing from the growth management restrictions. The
City will monitor the impact of the Growth Management Program on the
provision of housing of all types.
• Land Inventory. The City will maintain a current inventory of vacant and
under-utilized land suitable for residential development.
• Pursuit of state and federal funds in support of housing construction. The
City continues to pursue available and appropriate state and federal
funding sources to support efforts to construct housing meeting the needs of
low- and moderate -income households, to assist persons with rent
payments required for existing housing units, to provide supportive
services, and to provide on- and off-site improvements and public facilities,
in support of affordable housing projects.
• Promotion of the City's multifamily housing development standards. The
City will promote its multifamily development standards through the
Community Development Department's link to the City's website,
information brochures available at the Community Development
Department, pre -application meetings, and a notice to the local
homebuilder, realtor, and contractor associations.
• Large Lot Subdivision. The City will facilitate the division of lots over ten
acres to enable the development of affordable housing.
• Evaluate Applications for Demolition of Residential Structures. The City
will evaluate applications for the demolition of residential structures to
determine the impact on affordable housing, and require mitigation in the
form of replacement housing.
2012-13 ACTION PLAN
The City does not anticipate providing rental assistance, as this is provided by the San
Joaquin Housing Authority, and also does not expect to acquire any existing rental units.
REMOVE BARRIERS TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING
The City is undertaking a number of actions to reduce potential barriers and constraints
to affordable housing, as well as promote housing for special needs populations. These
include allocating prior -year CDBG and HOME funds (through the Urban County) in
support of affordable housing development, as well as providing regulatory incentives,
density incentives, and several other measures to affordable housing developers. These
are described in more detail in the City's 2010-2016 Housing Element.
V. CDBG-SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS
INSTITUTIONAL STRUCTURE
The Community Development Department is responsible for the management,
implementation, and monitoring of the Consolidated Plan documents, including the
Action Plan. The Neighborhood Services Division within the department is specifically
charged with these tasks. The division works in close consultation with the City's
advisory committees and the City Manager.
The City has designated staff positions to administer the programs and activities funded
with CDBG funds. These staff members work with the individual City departments, such
as Public Works and Parks and Recreation, to develop procedures and coordination for
administering programs that will be carried out by these departments. The CDBG staff
also provide technical assistance to non -profits on properly administering CDBG funds
and developing CDBG-eligible activities.
EFFECTIVE COORDINATION
The City will continue to work closely with San Joaquin County, which borders the City
on all sides. The City will also continue to work with many of the non -profits in the
community, including the Salvation Army, LOEL, and Community Partnership for
Families, to address the regional issues that affect the needs of target -income persons, as
well as special needs populations. A City staff representative will continue to attend bi-
monthly meetings of "A Hand Up" homeless subcommittee.
PUBLIC HOUSING NEEDS
While two public housing complexes are located in Lodi, they are administered by the
San Joaquin Housing Authority, which serves as the housing authority for the County.
The City of Lodi does not have its own local housing authority. Resident initiatives are
handled directly by the San Joaquin Housing Authority.
ANTI -POVERTY STRATEGY
The City's anti -poverty strategy is based on providing a range of housing, employment,
and supportive service opportunities aimed at enabling those in poverty to move into the
2012-13 ACTION PLAN
workforce. During the 2012-13 program year, the City will also continue to support
activities that preserve and expand the supply of housing that is affordable to target -
income households. The City works closely with the Salvation Army, which focuses on
improving self-sufficiency and offers employment training to formerly homeless
individuals through its culinary arts and other programs.
The City's support of the Second Harvest Food Bank is another strategy in support of
reducing poverty. While the Food Bank does not directly provide employment or social
service opportunities, many persons receiving the food assistance are referred to other
social services.
LEAD-BASED PAINT HAZARDS
While most housing units were built after 1978 in Lodi, the City will work together with
the County Public Health Department to monitor incidences of elevated blood levels. The
City's Code Enforcement division will respond to calls regarding lead-based paint, and
may require landlords to fix chipping paint.
In the event that requests for funding of lead abatement are received, the City will
consider creation of a residential rehabilitation program that would include lead
abatement as an eligible activity. The City will also pursue funding from other resources
for a housing rehabilitation program; possible funding sources include CalHome and
HOME funds through the California Department of Housing and Community
Development. As required by the funding source, housing rehabilitation programs will
comply with the Residential Lead Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (Title X)
and subsequent changes in September 1999. The procedures regarding lead-based paint
in both rehabilitation programs will include:
• Notification of potential lead-based paint hazards;
• Identification; and
• Treatment (if necessary).
MONITORING PLAN
The City of Lodi has developed a monitoring system to ensure that the activities carried
out in furtherance of the Plan are done so in a timely manner in accordance with the
federal monitoring requirements of 24 CFR 570.501(V) and 24 CFR 85.40 and all other
applicable laws, regulations, policies, and sound management and accounting practices.
The objectives of the monitoring plan are described in more detail in the Consolidated
Plan (p. 3-16).

SECTION 108
GUARANTEED LOAN PROGRAM
APPLICATION
City of Lodi
The Lodi Grape Bowl Improvements
Project
May 2, 2012
EXHIBIT E
The Lodi Grape Bowl Improvements Project
2 2 1 Lawrence Avenue
Lodi, California 95240
SECTION 1 — PROTECT DESCRIPTION
The purpose of the Section 108 Guaranteed Loan application is to assist with public facility
improvements to the Lodi Stadium, also known as the "Grape Bowl." These improvements are
primarily to improve public access to the stadium.
The stadium was originally constructed as a closed oval bowl by excavating the field and
constructing an earthen berm wall surrounding it. Historically, access to the stadium was by
climbing the back side of the berm from street level. The historic access ramps are steep and
without handrails or resting platforms.
At one point the east end of the bowl (the rear of the stadium) was opened by removing the
berm. This allowed access at the field level, and access by a pathway constructed to meet
current accessibility requirements for grade and landings. There are two accessible parking
spaces in the rear of the stadium that are accessed through the service entrance. The main
entrance at the west end is still served by the historic access ramp.
More recently, the west end of the bowl (the front and main entrance to the stadium) was
opened by removing the berm wall.
The City is proposing to construct a new public entrance at the west end. The west end is
accessed by a larger street and is served by a City parking lot across the street.
The new public entrance will allow the City to construct a new accessible path of travel to
stadium seating. The City will construct this path of travel, new accessible seating areas, and
accessible facilities as part of constructing a new grade level public entrance on the west end.
The project can be summarized into the following five (5) components.
1. Construction of the on -grade entry plaza.
2. Construction of the entry plaza structure. The structure will include a ticket window,
concessions, and restrooms.
3. Construction of new ADA compliant seating areas and new paths of travel.
4. Construction of four (4) additional ADA compliant parking spaces.
5. Abandonment of existing entry ramp and ticket booths.
The City is seeking to fund a portion of the work with Section 108 Guaranteed Loan funds. That
portion would be the work necessary to remove "material and architectural barriers that restrict
the mobility and accessibility of elderly or severely disabled persons to public facilities and
improvements" as described at 24 CFR 570.201(c). The City of Lodi Public Works Department
has evaluated each element of the proposed project and has determined the appropriate
City of Lodi - Section 108 Loan Application
Grape Bowl Project
Page 2 of 5
percentage of the costs that are eligible per the aforementioned CDBG regulations. Those
eligible costs are identified in the cost breakdown provided in Section 2 of this application.
The specific work we believe is eligible is described below. The City is relying on the CDBG
"Desk Guide" and the 1994 HUD Westmoreland County, PA policy memorandum
(httl2://l.usa.gov/vchLHT) in making that determination.
1. Construction of the on -grade entry 121aza.
As part of allowing the full use of the facility, the City would fund a portion of the
construction of the entry plaza with Section 108 Guaranteed Loan funds. The portion of the
work to be funded would be that related to the new accessible path of travel and ADA
compliant seating areas along the perimeter of the plaza that overlooks the playing field.
This would include paving, curbs, tactile surfacing, markings and signage.
2. Construction of the entry 121aza structure. The structure will include a ticket window,
concessions, and restrooms.
As part of allowing the full use of the facility, the City would fund a portion of the
construction of the entry plaza structure with Section 108 Guaranteed Loan funds. The
portion to be funded with Section 108 Guaranteed Loan funds would be the costs associated
with modifying the structure to be accessible.
Accessible ticketing window.
Accessible concession window/counter.
0 Accessible restrooms.
3. Construction of new ADA compliant seating areas and new accessible 12aths of travel.
A portion of the construction of the accessible path of travel and the entire cost of the new
seating areas would be funded with Section 108 Guaranteed Loan funds.
Modifications to the curb and street crossing.
Construction of retaining walls.
Grading, curbing, flatwork, railing and all related work to construct the path of
travel from the on -grade entrance to the accessible seating areas.
Construction of new accessible seating areas in the stands and at field level.
4. Construction of four (4) additional ADA compliant parking spaces.
The entire cost of creating new ADA compliant parking spaces serving the stadium would
be Section 108 Guaranteed Loan funded. This would include paving, striping, signage,
tactile surfacing, and curbing.

As a recipient of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding, the City has developed an
