Home My WebLink AboutAgenda Report - March 20, 1996 (50)CITY OF •DI COUNCIL COMMUNICATION 4,Foa AGENDA TITLE: Continue Public Hearing to consider staff recommendations for funding of project proposals with CDBG funds and approve several other program related reallocations of funds. MEETING DATE: March 20, 1996 PREPARED BY: Community Development Director RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve by resolution, staffs funding recommendations for the 1996-97 CDBG Entitlement. Also, that the Council approve several program related reallocations of funds. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City is anticipating receiving approximately $700,000 (no more than $769,000) in CDBG funds and $200,000 in HOME funds. Due to the funding uncertainty, staff is requesting that Council place approved projects on a priority list. If a project is approved for funding on the priority list, staff will notify potential recipients that any forthcoming funds from the City are dependent upon the City receiving funding from the Federal government. Recipients would then be funded in order of their priority. If staff recommendations are approved, San Joaquin County staff will take the County's entitlement to the Board of Supervisors for their approval on March 26, 1996. See the attached charts, A and B respectively, for CDBG funding recommendations and for adjustments/reallocations. Chart A indicates last year's recipients of funds, those requesting funds this year, and staff's recommendations. Finally, a blank column is provided for notations. Chart B indicates the dollar amounts staff has recommended for reallocation along with justification. Also attached is a preliminary determination of eligibility/summary for each recommended proposal and a sample letter which will go out to each recipient of funds instructing them not to spend or otherwise encumber CDBG dollars until we are certain of their availability. There were no proposals received from the community for the allocation of HOME funds. With this in mind, staff is requesting that when HOMEfunds are released by the Federal government, that they be put into a multi -family rental rehabilitation program.

Proiect Elixibility: This project qualifies as a "Public Facility and/or Improvement" project, as per HUD regulations 24 CFR 570.21(c). The rehabilitation of a senior citizen center meets HUD national objectives as per 24 CFR 570.208 (a)(2)(i)(A). It is an activity primarily benefiting low to moderate income individuals (senior citizens). This clientele group is automatically considered to be eligible by HUD. If title to the facility to be rehabilitated with Federal funds is held by a private non-profit organization, the facility shall be operated so as to be open to the general public during all regular business hours. 5: Service Area Description: The service area for this project is the entire City of Lodi and surrounding communities, such as Woodbridge. Although the facility must remain open to the general public during all hours, it is expected that the individuals who will primarily benefit from this activity are senior citizens, an eligible recipient of funds according to HUD, and they can come from anywhere in the City.
