HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda Report - December 20, 2000 E-15AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Authorizing the Community Development Department Director to
Submit the Code Enforcement Incentive Grant Application to the State Department
of Housing and Community Development Department.
MEETING DATE: December 20, 2000
PREPARED BY: Community Development Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing the
Community Development Director to submit the Code Enforcement
Incentive Grant Application to the State Department of Housing and
Community Development Department.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The State of California Department of Housing and Community
Development has put out a Notice of Funding Availablity (NOFA) for
a Code Enforcement Incentive Program (CEIP) Grant, which will
make matching funds available to local jurisdictions to increase code
enforcement staffing.
AB 1382, authored by Assemblyman Alan Lowenthal, has made $2,500,000 in funding available to local
jurisdictions on a competitive basis for the CEIP for a term of three years. This funding must be used to
increase staffing dedicated to local building enforcement efforts, which includes code enforcement
inspection staff and support personnel from other departments or agencies, such as outside legal
counsel to supplement the City's prosecutorial staff. Eligible uses of funds also includes program costs
related to the increase in staffing in those departments and agencies. The funding must be in addition to
existing funding for code enforcement including program costs related to any increase in staffing.
Enforcement activities must be conducted within areas identified to be populated with high percentages
of lower income households with significant numbers of deteriorated housing stock containing reported
or suspected housing code violations. The CEIP also requires that the City identify and prosecute
owners with habitual, repeated multiple code violations that have remained unabated beyond the period
required for abatement.
Applications must be submitted by December 18, 2000. The department is allowing us to submit our
resolution after the deadline. Should the Council decide not to move forward, the application will not
proceed. The State Housing and Community Development Department will review applications and
make grant awards in January or February of 2001.

FUNDING: The minimum grant amount to be awarded is $150,000 and the maximum award amount
is $1,000,000 for the three-year period. What follows is an estimation of costs associated
with the increase in staffing and program costs related to the increase in staffing.
The program requires that the City provide cash or in-kind local match of at least 25 percent of the total
program cost during the first year, at least 50 percent of the total annual program cost during the second
year, and at least 75 percent of the total annual program cost during the third year. The split between
City matching funds and the CEIP grant amounts for each year is indicated in the last two rows of the
table below. These City matching funds could be funded from Community Development Block Grant,
Redevelopment and/or General fund sources.
