FROM: Carla Bernabei Talarico �a►1
City Manager
SUBJECT:
JOINT ADMINISTRATION AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY
COMMITTEE (CDAC) RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE YEAR SEVENTEEN
(17) "COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM STATEMENT
OF OBJECTIVES & PROJECTED USE OF FUNDS"
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program is federally
funded through the U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) . The legislation for the program was created in 1974 under
the Housing and Community Development Act and subsequently amended.
The statutory national objectives of the program are to: 1)
principally benefit low and moderate income persons, 2) aid in the
prevention and elimination of slums or blight, and 3) address a
certified urgent need. Certain new requirements were added by the
adoption of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1987 , and
the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act of 1990. Of
principal note is the requirement to benefit low and moderate
income persons by at least 70%. Additionally, there are changes in
the regulations governing: citizen participation, housing
strategies, anti-displacement and one-for-one replacement housing,
and eligible activities.
Our Year 17 entitlement allocation is $1, 997, 000. Year 17 will
commence October 1, 1991 and conclude September 30, 1992 .
The Year 17 "Proposed Statement of Objectives and Projected Use of
Funds" identifies $2 , 142 , 732 in available CDBG resources for Year
17 Projects. This total reflects $1, 997 , 000 in Year 17 entitlement
funds, $17 , 000 in reallocated funds, $123 , 732 in funds reprogrammed
from prior years funds, and $5, 000 in program income available for
Year 17 projects.
Reprogrammed funds come from prior year projects which have been:
completed; have not started; have been dropped for various reasons;
or are projects in which funds are being rolled forward in the same
budget category but, for accounting and program management
purposes, are made available as Year 17 funds.
We are pleased to advise you that this year the Administration and
the CDAC have agreed on all recommendations for funding.
Therefore, the "Proposed Statement of Objectives and Projected Use
of Funds" is submitted with the joint approval and recommendation
of the Administration and the Community Development Advisory
Committee (CDAC) . (See attached computer sheet. )

COMMISSION MEMO
JULY 10, 1991
PAGE 2
The Community Development staff and the Community Development
Advisory Committee (CDAC) began the planning process for the Year
17 program on March 5, 1991. At that time, two public hearings
were held to assess the performance of the prior program year, as
well as to obtain public views and proposals by citizens at the
initial stage of the development of the "Proposed Statement of
Objectives and Projected Use of Funds" . A total of 34 requests for
funding were submitted by City and outside agencies. Seven
meetings were held by the CDAC, with over 28 evening hours
expended, for the purpose of reviewing proposals.
Please note that this Public Hearing is required to provide an
opportunity for final citizen comment on the appropriateness of
this "Proposed Statement of Objectives and Projected Use of Funds".
Formal Commission action to approve filing a "Final Statement" is
requested at this meeting. This approval must occur no later than
the July 24 , 1991 Commission meeting.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION:
The Administration recommends consideration of public comments and
approval of the Year 17 "Statement of Objectives and Projected Use
of Funds" , which includes: the required plan to mitigate adverse
effects of CDBG-caused displacement. After final Commission action
is taken, it is also recommended that the Final Statement be
submitted to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Also, the Administration recommends that a Comprehensive Housing
Affordability Strategy (CHAS) be submitted to the U.S . Department
of HUD, as prescribed.
The Administration also requests permission to make necessary
adjustments to the narrative and/or any technical corrections which
may be identified during the review process, and which do not
significantly affect the approved budget or the intent of the
program.
