AGENDA REPORT BY: `
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Nancy Burns, Senior Management Analyst I
DATE: 4 March 1999 (CC meeting of 17 March 1999)
SUBJECT: Consider Proposals for Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) Funds ($195,774) for FY 1999/2000
Background
At its regularly scheduled meeting February 17, 1999, Council
received a staff report summarizing fourteen (14) Public Service
proposals for the use of CDBG funds for FY 1999/2000. After
hearing public testimony, Council directed the Budget and Finance
Committee to prepare a recommendation for final appropriations for
Council's consideration at its regular meeting scheduled for March
17, 1999. One hundred ninety -five thousand seven hundred seventy -
four dollars ($195,774) are available for FY 1999/2000.
Discussion
The fourteen (14) proposals received for Public Service funds total
eighty -nine thousand six hundred thirty -two dollars ($89,632) .
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regulations limit
funds for Public Service projects to fifteen percent (15 %) of the
City's total allocation, or twenty -nine thousand three hundred
sixty -six dollars ($29,366). One application for public
improvements was received from the Boys and Girls Club in the
amount of forty thousand dollars ($40,000).
At its March 3, 1999, meeting, the Budget and Finance Committee
(Mayor Hunter and Councilmember Wozniak) considered the proposals
submitted and found that four (4) Public Service projects could
provide a variety of basic services to a large number of residents
with immediate needs. These organizations and the programs they
provide are the Ventura County Library Services Agency's Adult
Literacy Program, the Catholic Charities Community Services
000001.

Program, the Ventura County Human Services Agency's Senior
Nutrition Program, and the City's Senior Center Operations (Part -
time Staff Assistance).
Catholic Charities does not anticipate utilizing all its funds for
FY 1998/1999 by the end of the contract year, June 30, 1999. If
that contract is extended to December 31, 1999, the organization's
allocation for FY 1999/2000 could be reduced commensurately and
still maintain continuous funding.
The Committee also found that funds for Public Improvements and
Affordable Housing should be allocated for those purposes, with
specific projects to be determined after further consideration.
Continued support of the Fair Housing Institute is considered an
administrative activity and complies with requirements to further
the policies of the Fair Housing Act.
