AGENDA TITLE: Consider Approving Staff Recommendations for 1993-94 Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) Allocation
MEETING DATE: April 21, 1993
PREPARED BY: Community Development Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt the projected use of funds
for the FY 1993-94 CDBG Program.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City will receive $499,455 from the Federal
government under the CDBG Program for the 93-94 fiscal
year. Staff is recommending approval of the following:
Administration
Funding in the amount of $25,162.40 is being proposed since it has been estimated
that about half of the assigned staff person's time is devoted to program
administration duties. Expenditures include salary, materials, travel, etc.
A request has been received from the East Side Task Force to enable them to assist
with blight eradication efforts on Lodi's east side. This local community based
group is requesting $5,000 to help fund their efforts to attack blighted conditions
which persist on the east side of Lodi. The funding for this group would be rolled
into the Administration budget and would be used primarily for supplies, printing
costs, mailing costs, etc.
Housing Rehabilitation
It is being proposed to allocate $200,000 to this program for this year. This
ongoing program rehabilitates owner -occupied structures anywhere in the City on the
basis of income. Any homeowner can qualify if he/she meets the income
requirements. Interest in and demand for the program has steadily increased each
year.
Dial -a -Ride Transportation
It is being proposed to allocate $5,000 to this program again this year. Through
this program, discount ride tickets are distributed by Lodi's Community Service
Center to enable senior citizens and other low income individuals to use Dial -a -Ride
transportation. Demand for these tickets is expected to continue.

TME LODI CHURCH COUNCIL
Lodi, California
April 16, 1993
TO: Mayor and City Council Members
This letter is to express support for the recommendation that $50,000 of CDBG funds
be granted to the Lodi Women's Center.
With gangs, drugs, and acts of violence fed and promoted by dysfunctional families,
the need for help to families is crucial. The Women's Center can serve effectively as a
helping agency for those experiencing abuse, family violence, and hopelessness.
The members of this council feel it is urreent that the Lodi Women's Center have the
help they need to function in a permanent building.
Sincerely,
Rev. Paul R. Donavan

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Lodi City Council CiTY CLERK
ITl` 1001
At the last City Council „ieeting there were many presen atYgn
made to the Council for Grant Fund's and most were worthy of
your serious, consideration. I was particularly impressed with
three of these requests, ie. $20,000 for the Gang Task Force,
$50,000 for the Women's Center Lodi Branch, and the Eastside
Inprovenent Association for support in code enforcement. You
have the rare opportunity to take IMMEDIATE action on all of
these requests if you would reallocate the $1.49,000 that was
not used by the Lodi Hotel project.
The request of the Gang Taal: Force and that of the Castside
Improvement group would utilize funds in a way that is not
typical of past allocations of Grant Funds but TIi-ES ARE
CHANGING. The difference is that these funds would be used
to pay salaries rather than renovate a building. These would
be temporary positions and; provide a response to an URGENT need.
To assist the code enforcement officer, the city could find a
teriporary employee to relieve him of his duties other than
clearing his desk of cooplaints. With a backlog of 300 plus
complaints this requires action Noll.
The Lodi Branch of the San Joaquin Women's Center is a most
worthy receipent of your support. This group cf volunteers
was recognized as a Trophy Winner Golden Pule Award by the
J. C. Penny Co. on 4/14/93 in a county wide competition. If
others cart recognize the value and accomplishments of this
croup in our city than how can the City Council do less.
I do not envy you your task in the allocation of grant funds
but I do believe that you could solve some immediate needs
by the expeditious reallocation of the funds from the hotel project.
Respectfully,
