AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Reallocating $10,000 in CDBG Funds from the 2000-01
Salvation Army Project Allocation to the 2000-01 Hutchins Street Square
Playground ADA Retrofit Project.
MEETING DATE: May 16, 2001
PREPARED BY: Community Development Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt a Resolution authorizing the
reallocation of $10,000 in CDBG Funds from the 2000-01
Salvation Army Project allocation to the 2000-01 Hutchins
Street Square Playground ADA Retrofit Project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: For the 2000-01 CDBG Program year, the City Council had
allocated $53,790 to the Salvation Army for improvements to
their office and warehouse facility located at 525 W.
Lockeford Street. We have recently been informed by the
San Joaquin County Community Development Department that HUD has reversed their position
regarding federal funding for improvements at facilities owned by organizations or institutions
that are primarily religious in nature, thereby making the Salvation Army's project ineligible for
funding.
We are requesting reallocation of only $10,000 of Salvation Army's original allocation, as an
urgent need has arisen in another CDBG-funded project that is currently underway. The
remaining balance will be reallocated, along with a balance of other unused CDBG funds after a
public application process has been completed.
Hutchins Street Square currently has a project underway to retrofit their playgrounds to meet
handicap accessibility requirements. They have informed us that their swimming pool lift
equipment that provides access to the swimming pool for the elderly and handicapped has
broken and must be replaced. Their estimate to replace the lift equipment is $10,000. Since
this also addresses handicap accessibility, the County has advised that it can be included in the
current Hutchins Street Square ADA Playground Replacement Project.
