SUBJECT: Consider Exchange of Funds in Support of the Boys and
Girls Club Acquisition of the Casey Road Gym
The following report requests that the Council authorize staff to
proceed in scheduling a public hearing for the reprogramming of
CDBG funds provided to the Boys and Girls Club in support of their
purchase of the gym, in exchange for Gann Funds currently
appropriated for use on the Charles Street improvements.
Discussion
After meeting with the County of Ventura CAO's office and
representatives from the Boys and Girls Club, all concerned parties
feel that removing CDBG from the gym acquisition project is the
preferred way to meet the objectives of the Club, County and City.
The County of Ventura has expressed concern that eligibility
records of all persons using the gym will be difficult for the Club
to maintain. The eligibility requirement is part of the
agreement between the City and the Club. It expands beyond the
Club's use of the gym to include all rentals and non -Club
activities. If the residents of Moorpark were primarily low
income, this would not be difficult, however, the City is not.
Therefore, it is the conclusion that the exchange would be better,
to save the risk involved regarding the potential claim of
mismanaging CDBG requirements, and to save the City and Club the
time required to document eligibility.

$150,000 amount can be reaccredited to the City in about 90 days.
Staff has also been informed that HUD requires that interest be
paid. Staff would like to be able to calculate the interest based
on the date of the close of escrow and will therefore attempt to
use December 11, 1991, as the initial date. The date that the City
received the funds is July, 7, 1991, and HUD may request that
interest be calculated from this date.
A public hearing will have to be scheduled to reprogram the funds,
but this can be done while HUD and the County work towards re-
crediting the City. Therefore, within the 90 day credit turn
around, the City can complete the program changes. It is
imperative that this hearing be scheduled as soon as possible so
the Council can reappropriate the funds to replace the Gann funds
now appropriated for Charles Street, because these improvements are
scheduled to begin in the near future.
Recommendation
That the City Council authorize staff to schedule a public hearing
for the June 171 1992, City Council meeting for the purpose of
reprogramming the CDBG funds that currently support the Boys and
Girls Club Gym acquisition.
