At its regular meeting February 5, 2003, Council received a
staff report summarizing proposals for the use of CDBG funds for
FY 2003/2004, estimated to be approximately one hundred ninety
seven thousand six hundred twenty -three dollars ($197,623).
After hearing public testimony, Council closed the public
hearing and directed the Budget and Finance Committee to prepare
a recommendation for final appropriations for Council's
consideration prior to the next regularly scheduled meeting of
March 5, 2003.
DISCUSSION
The City has not received notification yet as to the exact
funding it can anticipate for FY 2003/2004, so last year's
funding amount is being used as an estimate of this year's
funding. Staff will request that funding authorizations for FY
2003/2004 include direction to adjust these funding approvals to
reflect the same percentage of the final funding the City
receives.
Seven (7) Public Service proposals totaling sixty -five thousand
four hundred twenty -three dollars ($65,423) were received.
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 approximately twenty -nine

At its Special Meeting of February 19, 2003, the Budget and

Program, the Ventura County Human Services Agency's Senior
Nutrition Program, and the City's Senior Center Operations
(Part -time Staff Assistance). The Committee also recommends
that funds for the RAIN Project rehabilitation to create a Child
Care Facility at its site, Food Share for its expansion project,
and Administration costs should be allocated for these purposes.

property for the Spring Road Project, which will provide
services to low income persons and is described more fully in
the staff report to Council on funding re- allocations.
