MEETING DATE: August 4, 2004 PREPARED BY: Community Development Director RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt a Resolution authorizing the reallocation of $294,043.48 of unobligated CDBG funds to various existing CDBG Projects. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: There are a total of eight (8) CDBG Project accounts that have an unobligated balance remaining after the projects have been completed. There are six (6) CDBG Projects that need that additional funding to either be completed, to meet additional needs within the project, or to balance the account. Due to the needs within our current list of approved CDBG Projects and subrecipients, we are not opening these funds for availability through an open application period or to any of the previously denied applicants. Staff is continuing to work with those applicants that were denied funding to determine whether their projects could be deemed eligible for funding through future reallocations or during our next application period. This reallocation also allows us to document that we are expending unused funds expeditiously in order to satisfy HUD's requirements to reduce our balance of unused funds that currently exceeds the allowable limit of 1.5x our annual allocation. The source of and the subsequent distribution of the unobligated funds are as follows: Proiect 99-04 Account No. 455775 Eastside Park Improvements $157,652.91 The recent completion of the Lawrence Park Playground was the final approved project to be completed for this allocation. The project costs were substantially lower than expected and additional funding through a State grant created this large unobligated balance.
