ATTACHMENT
The Community Development Plan allows for amendments to the CDBG Final Statement
of Objectives and Projected Use of Funds whenever CDBG funds become available
for reprogramming or when an activity is added or deleted. During a recent
review of the CDBG budgets, it was determined that there were sufficient funds
available from activities that were completed or cancelled to amend the CDBG
budget. There is $65,888.09 available from the 1985-87 CDBG program years to
be reallocated to other eligible activities. Staff reviewed the present
priorities for CDBG funds and concluded that the funds could best be utilized
to demolish, dilapidated structures inside the Community Development Strategy
Area. This effort is part of a whole new housing policy that is presently being
developed that emphasizes a multi-layered approach to housing assistance. The
new housing program will focus on clearance/demolition, rehabilitation and new
construction/replacement housing.
Staff's recommendation for Amendment 1 concerning allocating funds to the
clearance/demolition activity was reviewed by the CDBG Statement Subcommittee
of the Citizen's Advisory Committee (CAC) and the subcommittee unanimously voted
to recommend approving the funds for the clearance/demolition activity.
The second amendment that was reviewed by the CDBG Statement Subcommittee
concerns the cancelling of one activity and transferring those funds to another
activity. City Council approved $50,000 in the 1987 CDBG Final Statement of
Objectives and Projected Use of Funds to be utilized in the rehabilitation of
the Tyrrell Historical Library. The $50,000 became available when the City
Council approved the bond issue for the complete renovation of the Tyrrell
Exhibit "A"
Historical Library because if we had combined the CDBG funds with the bond
issuance funds, then the entire project would have been subject to federal wage
rates (Davis/Bacon Act) that would have increased the rehabilitation costs
considerably. Staff reviewed the situation and determined that the CDBG funds
could be used for infrastructure improvements (sidewalks, curbs, etc. ) around
the Tyrrell Historical Library that would compliment the other construction work.
Staff reviewed this recommendation with the subcommittee and they voted
unanimously to send this funding recommendation to the CAC.
The CAC met on April 19, 1989 to review the CDBG Statement Subcommittee's
recommendation concerning Amendment 1 and 2. The CAC discussed the
recommendation for both amendments and voted unanimously (11 to 0) to recommend
that the City Council approve Amendment 1 and 2.
Attached is a copy of Amendment 1 and 2 that was approved by the CAC.2
