The initial allocation for that project was $106,105. A previous Action Plan Amendment on September 3, 2014, provided an additional $6,915 of unused funds to this project. This reallocation will bring the total project allocation to $146,656.75. Lodi Gana Reduction Intervention Prevention [LodiGRIP] Program The reallocation of funds from Graffiti Abatement to LodiGRIP will provide a portion of the additional funding necessary to create one full-time Youth Outreach Worker position from the two part-time positions that are currently funded from the General Fund for the remainder of the Fiscal Year. Any additional funding from this reallocation would also be used for supportive services to the at -risk youth in the program. Additional funding for this full-time position is expected from Lodi Unified School District. Public Works has another funding source to backfill the Graffiti Abatement activity and that there will be no adverse impact on that program. FISCAL IMPACT: The amendment of the 2014-15 Annual Action Plan document is being completed as an administrative activity that is funded through the City's CDBG administrative allocation from HUD.

INTRODUCTION The 2014-15 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 low-income households. This is the first 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 2014-15 Annual Action Plan was adopted on May 7, 2014, and approved by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development in July 2014. The plan was first amended on September 3, 2014. This proposed amendment is the second. At mid -year, the City has identified funds that are available to re -program. The City also wishes to re -program funds from a previously identified use to a new use. Funding available to re -program is from a single project that was completed and did not require all the funds allocated. The City also identified a small amount of un -allocated funds in the CDBG line of credit. The total amount available to re -program is $33,637. The City is proposing to re -allocate $42,000 from the City's graffiti abatement program to the City's "GRIP" gang intervention program.
