($12,478), for a total of $254,308. Also consider a request for

BACKGROUND
The 1997 Senior Multi-Family Housing line item($241,000)was stalled when Sunlight Manor could
not secure the additional funds needed to complete the construction of the project. Although there
have been discussions, to date, the project is still in an uncertain stage.
The 1999 undesignated Public Facilities and Improvements line item($830) consists of money that

The 1999 Partnership Community Mental Health line item($12,478)was considered reprogrammable
when the organization that received the funds closed its Beaumont location.

activities.

Council Agenda Item
M c
TO: City Council
FROM: Stephen J. Bonczek, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Johnny Beatty, Grants Administratj r
MEETING DATE: April 3, 2001
AGENDA MEMO DATE: March 28, 2001
REQUESTED ACTION: Council conduct a public hearing/workshop to receive comments, and
consider recommendations from the CDAC on the allocation of Public
Services dollars to agencies requesting funding from the Public
Services line item of the 2001 Action Plan of the Consolidated Grant
Program, and also consider the Community Development Advisory
Committee's request to revise the Adopted Preliminary Budget of the
2001 Action Plan, in order to increase the Public Services line item to
$263,100.
RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that Council conduct a public hearing/workshop to receive
comments, and consider recommendations from the CDAC on the allocation of Public Services
dollars ($100,000) to agencies requesting funding from the Public Services line item of the 2001
Action Plan of the Consolidated Grant Program.
BACKGROUND
On February 6, 2001, the Beaumont City Council adopted the Preliminary Budget for the Annual
Action Plan of the 2001 Consolidated Grant Program, which included $100,000 for the Public
Services line item, The CDAC submitted a request to increase the Public Services line item to 10%
($263,100) of the CDBG allocation,plus program income ($2,631,000). The CDAC was asked to
review the funding proposals from area agencies that have developed programs which will enhance
the lives of no, low and moderate income families. After two public meetings, the CDAC
recommended funding for twelve (12) agencies totaling $263,100.
BUDGETARY IMPACT
The Administration recommends that 3.8% ($100,000) of the CDBG entitlement, plus program
income ($2,631,000) be dedicated to the Public Services line item. The CDAC has recommended
that 10% ($263,100) of the said entitlement, plus program income, be dedicated to the Public
Services line item.
A $75,000 reduction in the Clearance and Demolition line item would result in approximately 58
residential structures not being razed at $1,300 per unit ($75,400). During the period between
March,2000 and February,2001,the City demolished 202 residential structures. Ofthe said amount
of demolitions, 80 units, at $1,300 per unit ($104,000),were contracted to independent companies,
because the City did not have the appropriate equipment to complete the job.
An $88,000 decrease in the Edwards Park project will delay the development of a park in an area
where neighborhood revitalization and the construction of affordable housing has begun.
PREVIOUS ACTION
Council adopted the 2001 Preliminary Budget on February 6, 2001.
SUBSEQUENT ACTION
None.
RECOMMENDED BY
City Manager, Executive Assistant to City Manager/Economic Development Director, Planning
Manager, Housing Coordinator and Grants Administrator.
RECOMMENDED MOTION
Approve/Deny recommendations for the 2001 Consolidated Grant Program One-Year Action Plan
budget, with emphasis on the Public Services applications.

Subject: Reprogrammable Funds
COMMENTS
As Council has requested, please be informed that the reprogrammable funds from the line items in the
Community Development Block Grant Program include the 1997 Senior Multi-family Housing line item,the
1999 undesignated Public Facilities and Improvements line item, the 1999 Partnership Community Mental
Health project, and the 1999 ExxonMobil Green Team summer program.
The 1997 Senior Multi-Family Housing line item ($241,000) was stalled when Sunlight Manor could not
secure the additional funds needed to complete the construction of the project. Although there have been
discussions, to date, the project is still in an uncertain stage.
The 1999 undesignated Public Facilities and Improvements line item($830)consists of money that was not
designated to a public service in the 1999 grant year.
The 1999 Partnership Community Mental Health line item($12,478)was considered reprogrammable when
the organization that received the funds closed its Beaumont location.
The 1999 ExxonMobil Green Team line item($18,000)was scheduled to be used to reimburse the General
Fund, which temporarily supported the project. Because the reimbursement did not take place prior to the
fiscal year end, the money remains in the CDBG budget. Staff recommends using the funds for the 2001
ExxonMobil Green Team summer program
The total of$254,308 of reprogrammable funds is a large sum of money that affects the City's expenditure
rate. It is recommended that City Council reprogram the above funds to any eligible HUD activity.
