Discussion
At its March 4, 1998, meeting, the Budget and Finance Committee
considered the proposals that were received for FY 1998/99 funds
and found that three Public Service projects could provide basic
services to the largest number of residents with the most
immediate primary needs. The three organizations and their
programs are Catholic Charities with its Community Services
Program, the County of Ventura Public Social Services Agency's
Senior Nutrition Program and the City's Senior Center Part -time
Staff.
The Committee also found that funds for Public Improvements/
Economic Development /Affordable Housing should be allocated for
the identification and acquisition of property or properties to
be developed for Affordable Housing for Low and Very Low Income
persons and associated costs for development of the property for
either purchase or rental opportunities.
A separate report presented to Council on this date recommends
that at least $122,522 of the $154,917 available from FY 1995/96
and FY 1996/97 be reallocated to Affordable Housing. This
amount, combined with $141,241 for FY 1998/99 recommended in this
report to be allocated for Affordable Housing would provide
$263,763 for this purpose.
Funding available for administrative purposes, per HUD
guidelines, is $24,210.
Recommendation
1. Authorize Public Service funding for FY 1998/99 as follows:
Catholic Charities $ 9,597
Senior Nutrition 9,000
Senior Center Part -time Staff 10,600
2. Authorize $141,241 for the identification, acquisition and
development of property or properties for Affordable Housing
for Low and Very Low Income persons, such authorization to
include other costs associated with the acquisition of the
property and facilitation of its development and use for the
purpose stated, either for rental or purchase; and
3. Authorize $24,210 for administrative costs.
