AGENDA REPORT
CITY OF MOORPARK
The Honorable City Council
Donald P. Reynolds Jr., Administrative Services Manager
February 25, 1993, (CC Mtg. of March 3, 1993)1
SUBJECT: 1993/94 Community Development Block Grant ("CDBG^) Public
Hearing for the Appropriation of Funds, (estimated to be
$210,038)
The following report will briefly summarize Moorpark CDBG
activities and program requirements, and recommend for the
Council's consideration proposals for the use of this year's CDBG
monies. Staff's recommendation is that the Council open the public
hearing and receive public testimony, close the public hearing,
allow the Budget and Finance Committee to review the proposals and
testimony, and return to the Council March 17, 1993, with a
recommendation for final appropriations.
This year, the City received 19 different proposals requesting
funds from the City's CDBG program. Staff has prepared a proposal
summary presented in Attachment "A" to this report. Actual grant
proposals are located on the Council'-- desk and provide additional
details of each program.
Background
On January 6, 1993, staff presented the Council with a summary of
past City CDBG activities, (Attachment "B"). Of the three national
objectives for the CDBG program, ( 1) benefit low and moderate
income persons, 2) eliminate slum and blighted conditions, and 3)
to address and urgent health and safety need), the City has
focussed on the low and moderate income objective. CDBG programs
have benefitted low and moderate income persons in the following
way: 66.89% public facilities- including street improvements,
removal of architectural barriers, and facility acquisition for
Food Share, Inc.; 14.73% affordable housing- primarily for site
search and acquisition; 9.27% to various public services, and;
9.11% for administration.
In making these appropriations, the City followed the prescribed
formula which places limits on funding for administrative
activities and public service programs. Administrative caps are
calculated based on the entire Entitlement grant award, and public
service caps equal 15% of the City's total grant award. The
Council can select programs separate from these limits if it so
chooses, but as in the past, staff is recommending that the full
amount available for administration and public services be awarded.
Discussion
This grant year is the second year of the three year Cooperative
agreement containing a revised formula (which includes a "poverty
index ") for the distribution of funds. When the three year
agreement was executed in July 1991, staff estimated that this
change would lower the City's annual grant award ( and it has by
between 11% and 170). However, because the federal funding has
increased this year, the net result is that there are more funds
available for 1993/94, than in 1991/92 or 1992/93, (attachment "B"
shows the total grant awards from past years).
Based upon an estimated grant amount of $210,038, administration
can be appropriated up to $25,740, and public service awards can be
appropriated 150 of the total grant, or $31,506. Fair Housing
activities use 100 of the entire grant, taken from Administrative
funds, which is $2,100 for 1993/94, (please refer to
"Administration" and the Proposal Summary, Attachment "A"). If the
Council chooses to use the grant at the maximum allowed amounts for
administration and public services, than a balance of $152,792
would remain for projects separate from these categories.
Each year, the City has an opportunity to appropriate funds which
would allow for the County to administer the program, (Joint Powers
Agreement, or "JPA"). If the County funds a program which serves
the Entitlement jurisdiction, and the City also funds the same
program, than the project is eligible for a JPA. This year, the
City's public hearing is scheduled slightly ahead of the County,
but before the March 17, 1993, City Council meeting, staff will
have a better idea of which programs will qualify for this
arrangement.
Outside Organization's Proposals
In soliciting proposals, staff attended a preliminary joint staff
meeting at the County of Ventura on December 10, 1992, and then
proceeded in mailing over 30 invitations for proposals in January
to various agencies in the County. Of those sent out, 17 agencies
responded which when added to in -house proposals (Senior Advisory
Committee and Fair Housing) equals a total of 19 proposals (as
presented in Attachment "A"). In staff's summary, proposals are
divided two ways; 1) proposal type, and 2) proposal "group. 11
"Group" distinguishes new (or proposed) from existing City
programs, and "type" refers to the funding caps applied by HUD for
public services, administration and also divides the development
proposals into facility improvements and affordable housing.
The eligibility of each grant proposal has been evaluated by staff.
All appear to have the capacity to meet the low and moderate income
national objective. Two projects may require a preliminary
eligibility review prior to a decision obligating funds; Livingston
2
Memorial visiting Nurse Association, and Padres Contra El Cancer.
These two programs address the needs of cancer victims and their
families, who are not necessarily low and moderate income persons.
City Proposals
The following section of this report will outline proposals for
direct uses by the City. Staff is recommending that the public
service proposals received from other agencies be considered for
use of the $31,506 that is available for this purpose.
Administration
Staff recommends that the entire $25,740 available for
administration be appropriated for City costs and a portion be
provided to the Fair Housing program mentioned in the attached
summary. The need for City staff time is continuing to expand as
the City becomes active in using the CDBG resources, and as HUD
transmits new reporting requirements. During this fiscal year,
staff estimates that approximately 600 of the Administrative
Services Manager's time has been spent on CDBG related issues.
Streets and Affordable Housina
One existing program is in need of additional CDBG funding; street
improvements. Staff recommends that this project receive strong
consideration by the Council again this year. The balance of
$152,792 may be targeted for this use, reserving newly available
redevelopment funds for affordable housing needs.
The Moorpark Redevelopment Agency will be able to begin moving
forward on projects in the near future. The State requires that
200 of the tax increment be set aside for low income housing. This
tax increment is a much more simplified resource to be used for
affordable housing in the long term, when compared to federal
regulations that pertain to the use of CDBG for this purpose. Last
year, the City removed the $100,000 loan to the Boys and Girls Club
that was appropriated for housing when repaid, and reprogrammed it
for street improvements, leaving $85,000 of unobligated funds for
this purpose. The existing affordable housing monies remain an
effective tool to be used by the City for simple CDBG housing
assistance programs, (i.e., pre - development expenses, permits,
architectural fees, engineering etc.).
The City expects the Phase I street improvements on Charles Street
to be completed by April or May, 1993, (weather permitting).
Currently, CDBG constitutes all of the construction costs for this
phase, and based on the awarded contract, approximately $104,093
will remain unobligated. The additional phases of work for Charles
Street are proposed to be much more complex than the current phase
due to ingress and egress concerns at the homes on the hill between
Magnolia Avenue and Spring Road. Staff is looking into the
3
requirements for CDBG as they might apply to the new phases. In
the past, it was the understanding of staff that projects designed
by CDBG are required to follow the CDBG regulations, even if no
CDBG funds are used for the construction. The general concept for
all of Charles Street was designed using CDBG, but the working
plans are in need of being finalized. On Phase I, CDBG was used
for the final design, and CDBG regulations had to be extended to
the construction as well. This may not be the case for the rest of
Charles Street because of the general nature of the original
design.
Regardless of the technical concern, the project site has been
declared as an eligible use for CDBG funds, and the environmental
clearances have already been obtained. Having completed these
administrative milestones has cleared the way for a simple
application of additional CDBG funds for this project.
In addition to these facts and possibly in addition to this year's
funding, President Clinton has mentioned the use of CDBG to "kick
start" the economy looking for ways increase employment and improve
infrastructure. Charles Street is in line for this consideration.
The Community Development Digest, (February 9, 1993, page 4)
explains that the House Banking Committee Chairman Gonzales (D-
Texas) is working closely with the President on an economic
package, as presented in Attachment "C ". When HUD develops a final
plan to implement this idea, (assuming that Congress supports the
concept and provides funding), staff will work towards qualifying
Charles Street for this use.
Summary
This year, the number of proposals and funds requested decreased
while the anticipated amount of funding increased, but still
exceeded the dollar amount that can be used for public services.
Except for the public services (which represents a total funding
request equal to more than double the available funds) , the Council
has a little more latitude than in the past. Staff is
recommending that the entire administrative portion be appropriated
for City costs and Fair Housing, that the public service dollars be
distributed amongst those agencies that applied, and that the
balance of funds be provided to ongoing street improvement
projects.

PROPOSAL SUMMARY
TYPE: ADMINISTRATION AMOUNT: $2,100
TITLE: FAIR HOUSING SET ASIDE
It is HUD's recommendation that 10-. of the grant be set aside to
further fair housing, and this program is currently fulfilling this
requirement. Moorpark has been active in the CDBG Entitlement's
Fair Housing Steering committee that was created last year by an
appropriation from each CDBG Agency equal to 1% of the total grant,
( for a total of $21,000). This request for funds is for continuing
the services being arranged this fiscal year, into future years.
The County is entering into agreement with Fair Housing counselors
to provide education and training, public outreach, a 24 hour hot
line, and local client support. It is anticipated that this
service, although County -wide, will be locating in Moorpark at the
Catholic Charities office on 1st Street. Staff anticipates that
this will occur within the next month. To continue this contract,
additional funding for next year is needed.
TYPE: PUBLIC SERVICE (EXIST.) AMOUNT: $2,000
TITLE: HOMELESS OMBUDSMAN (Potential JPA)
Joint funding for the staff that serves as an ombudsman to homeless
persons. The need for this service continues to grow. With the
fire at the Ventura housing shelter earlier this year in
combination with a weakened economy, the needs are increasing. The
City has funded this program for 3 grant years.
TYPE: PUBLIC SERVICE (EXIST.) AMOUNT: $10,000
TITLE: SENIOR NUTRITION
Staff person to continue to provide food services to Moorpark
Seniors. Between 10 and 20 seniors dine at the Center each day,
and home delivered meals average about 20 per day. The staff person
helps to coordinate the serving and preparation of the meals, as
well as coordinate the distribution of menus and public outreach
for the program. The City has funded this program for four grant
years.
3
TYPE: PUBLIC SERVICE (EXIST.) AMOUNT: $2,000
TITLE: LONG TERM CARE OMBUDSMAN (possible JPA)
The function of this agency acts as a "watch -dog" for seniors in
support of those who are in a long -term care facility. This is the
only support available for persons or family members in need of
defense against abuse and neglect when cared for in these
facilities. Approximately 5% of the City's seniors will eventually
become dependent upon a the service provided at a long -term care
facility. Last year, the County funded the program, making it
eligible for a Joint Powers Agreement. The City has funded this
program for two grant years.
TYPE: PUBLIC SERVICE (EXIST.) AMOUNT: $8,500
TITLE: CATHOLIC CHARITIES
Continuation of case worker support at the Moorpark center is
needed to fulfill the un -met needs of a growing number of clients.
This agency has once again experienced a growth serving the needs
of the community. The agency's un- duplicated work load has
increased from 3,000 to 6,000 clients after only three quarters of
the fiscal year. The City has funded this program for two grant
years.
TYPE: PUBLIC SERVICE (EXIST.) AMOUNT: $10,000
TITLE: CHANNEL COUNTIES LEGAL SERVICES
Continuation of City support for legal staff to serve Moorpark
residents. This service is provided exclusively for low and very
low income persons once a week, and includes support related to
housing issues, citizenship and other common problems associated
with the poverty stricken residents, (i.e., procuring government
benefits). Although the current grant funding provides a very
small portion of their service costs, the agency feels that it is
very important to remain in Moorpark. They look forward to working
next to the Fair Housing program described above and planned for
the same location. Staff is multi - lingual, and can offer support
to a variety of cultural backgrounds. The City has funded this
program for three grant years.
4
TYPE: PUBLIC SERVICE (EXIST.) AMOUNT: $5,000
TITLE: ADULT LITERACY- VENTURA COUNTY LIBRARY SERVICES AGENCY
City support of the group coordinator for literacy services
performed in Moorpark via "one on one" tutoring. Originally, the
City sponsored the start up costs for this program including
reading materials and outreach, and now the agency asks only for
the support of the coordinator position. Library Services
currently provides a $10,000 matching contribution. The
coordinator works with the tutors and clients and arranges meetings
and teaching schedules, (26 students currently enrolled) . The
program is growing as fast as new tutors can be trained. Recently,
the program moved from the Casey Road High School site to the
Senior Center, and hopes to be able to share the library after it
is expanded. The City has funded this program for three grant
years.
TYPE: PUBLIC SERVICE (NEW) AMOUNT: $ 3,020
TITLE: MOORPARK SENIOR ADVISORY COMMITTEE
Staff has been working with the Senior Advisory Committee to
establish priorities for activities at the Senior Center, and the
Committee has concluded that additional equipment for the Center is
needed in support of future programs. These items include book
shelves and cabinets, a dishwasher, two bulletin boards and easels.
Currently, the City has no funding appropriated for the Senior
Center, and the Committee sees this as an opportunity because grant
funds have been used successfully for this purpose in the past.
TYPE: PUBLIC SERVICE (NEW) AMOUNT: $1,736
TITLE: LIVINGSTON MEMORIAL VISITING NURSE ASSOCIATION
This proposal is for the establishment and maintenance of
bereavement support groups in Moorpark. The program would provide
funds for two programs; 1) a children's support group, and; 2)
senior citizen support group. For the children's group, the
program already exists in Moorpark, but is in need of therapeutic
materials to continue. The senior group is planned for the Senior
Center in response to many requests by Moorpark seniors for this
activity. These funds would help to pay the salary for the
moderator. HUD may request that the income levels of the family
members create a majority of low or moderate income persons served,
because one cannot assume that all of their clients are low income
persons.
5
TYPE: PUBLIC SERVICE (NEW) AMOUNT: $3,830
TITLE: PADRES CONTRA EL CANCER (Parents Against Cancer)
This is a county -wide proposal to address the second leading death
of children; cancer. This program meets an unmet need in the
community concerning educational, social and physiological support.
Although 900 of childhood cancers are successfully treated,
knowledge of treatment side effects and psychological support add
to the chances of full recovery. The funds would pay for an
outreach center in Ventura that provides educational forums with
guest speakers to help educate parents and children about the
illness. This service replicates a well developed program in Los
Angeles, and is bilingual. HUD may request that the income levels
of the family members create a majority of low or moderate income
persons served, because one cannot assume that all cancer patients
and their families are low income persons.
TYPE: PUBLIC SERVICE (NEW) AMOUNT: $3,000
TITLE: INTERFACE
The agency is requesting that the City consider supporting part of
many social services provided by Interface, including; Youth Crisis
Services, Cool Home, domestic violence, Children's Resource Center,
battered women, and suicide prevention. No specific service is
outlined by the proposal, but support to any one of these services
would assist the agency in meeting these needs. This is a County-
wide program. Interface touched the lives of 51,000 abused
children, battered women, sexual assault victims and others that
requested service last year.
TYPE: PUBLIC SERVICE (NEW) AMOUNT: $5,000
TITLE: FOOD SHARE
The funding request is for support of a new Food Share program
which provides hot meals to persons with nutritional needs.
Currently, one out of seven persons in the County rely upon the raw
vegetables and food resources that Food Share provides, (including
the Moorpark Food Pantry). Now they plan to expand into prepared
meals. CDBG would help to pay for the driver's salary to deliver
the meals. Having already received a grant of $50,000 that is
conditioned upon a county -wide match, this request accompanies
similar requests to all CDBG agencies in the County to meet the
requirement.
R
TYPE: PUBLIC SERVICE (NEW) AMOUNT: $13,041
TITLE: STARFIRE FOUNDATION, INC.
Starf ire is requesting support for its "Economic Recovery" project,
designed to foster economic independence for homeless individuals.
The program provides services to reinforce positive self esteem and
reestablish a homeless person back into the community. Very few
communities provide this service. Education, job training and job
placement skills are provided in two leased spaces in Oxnard and
Ventura. The program coordinates these activities with county
Public Social Services Agency, AFDC and other public programs.
Many uses for CDBG are mentioned in the proposal including overhead
and transportation costs, and salary for staff to train the
clients.
TYPE: PUBLIC SERVICE (NEW) AMOUNT: $10,000
TITLE: VENTURA COUNTY COMMISSION ON HUMAN CONCERNS
This program is designed to provide persons with assistance that
helps them to avoid becoming homeless, (eligible CDBG activity
because the County considers it to be "homelessness prevention ").
This assistance is called "Lease Assistance Loan and Grant Fund"
which would be provided for Moorpark residents. The funding
request is to provide approximately 13 $700 loans, and $900 in
related services and grants. New support efforts are being
developed by the agency in conjunction with the Lease Assistance
program to provide family guidance and counseling in order to help
prevent re- occurring needs of this type.
TYPE: HOUSING ASSISTANCE AMOUNT: $15,000
TITLE: NETWORKING FOR HOUSING
The amount requested is intended to target the entire County,
(including non - entitlement CDBG communities) , a portion of which
could come from Moorpark. In 1987, the City provided a $5,000
grant to help the agency in providing loans to developers for
building new low income housing units. It took almost five years
for the agency to get a point where loans are provided, but last
year, all of the Entitlement loan funds were obligated.
7
TYPE: HOUSING ASSISTANCE AMOUNT: $25,000
TITLE: CABRILLO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
Cabrillo has been contracted by the City for the past 4 years to
locate and secure a site to develop new affordable housing units.
Twice in the past two years, they have been very close to securing
a site, only to the agreement drop at the last minute. These two
occurrences have absorbed almost all of their funding
(approximately $6,000 of $50,000 remains). Once again, they are
evaluating five different potential sites in the community. They
are asking for additional funds to help continue this search and
secure a parcel.
TYPE: FACILITIES AMOUNT: $10,000
TITLE: ZOE CHRISTIAN CENTER
The agency is seeking assistance to rehabilitate a facility called
a "N.E.E.D. Program, Inc." Because of difficulties related to the
environmental and zoning issues of the homeless shelter at Rose
Avenue, ZOE is looking towards improving the existing facility at
the N.E.E.D. center. County CDBG assisted ZOE to acquire this
property. They hope to be able to expand the capacity of the
shelter by adding 22 beds when renovations are complete.
TYPE: FACILITIES AMOUNT: $6,500
TITLE: ASSOCIATION FOR RETARDED CHILDREN, ( "ARC ")

architectural barriers and improve access to the site by widening
doors, removing obstacles and building ramps to the facility, and
improve restroom facilities inside the building to provide for
persons with limited mobility.

RE: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT
Application for Funding - 1993 -1994
Dear Mr. Reynolds,
Enclosed please find Channel Counties Legal Services
Association's application for $10,000 in CDBG Entitlement Program
funds, under the public service category.
CCLSA proposes to use these funds to continue to assist with
the staffing or a legal unit that serves low- income persons in the
City of Moorpark.
CCLSA believes that its services, funded by the City of
Moorpark last year with CDBG funds, squarely meets the definition
of eligibility for such funds. CCLSA serves exclusively the low -
income community.
Please contact me if you have any questions or if further
information is required.

Dear Members of the Council:
The Ventura County Library Services Agency is applying for $5,000 in 1993-
94 Community Development Block Grant funds to support continuation of the
Moorpark Literacy Program. The Moorpark Literacy Program was established by the
County Library's adult literacy program with $8.000 in 1990 -91 CDBG funds and
continued in 1991 -92 and 1992 -93 with $5,000 in CDBG funds. All CDBG funds are
used for the Site Coordinator position which requires five hours per week of program
coordination at $20 per hour. The County Library makes an in -kind contribution of
$10,000 to the Moorpark project by recruiting, training. and communicating with
volunteer tutors and by providing free instructional materials.

Enclosed is our CDBG Proposal for 1993. We appreciate the
opportunity to petition your city for funding consideration.
Our project is a Public Service project to benefit persons of low and
moderate income in the city of Moorpark. The funding requested in this
proposal is to extend Bereavement Support services and our children's
grief support program "I Count, Too" to the residents in Moorpark.
We have received numerous requests to provide an evening support
group, support groups for the general public (not only for former patient's
families), and have specifically received a request from the Director of the
Moorpark Senior Citizens Center to begin a Bereavement Support group for
their seniors.
Our "I Count, Too" program is a joint community effort with Los
Robles Regional Medical Center, Community Memorial Hospital, and Livingston
Memorial Visiting Nurse Association. This program provides a place to
alleviate children's fears about cancer and other terminal illnesses they
may be dealing with in their family.
Thank you again for your consideration of our proposal. Please call
me directly with any questions or comments at 805 - 656 -5957, ext. 760.

FROM: Christine Adams, Director of Community Servic(W```
DATE: February 22, 1993
When considering the 1993/94 Community Development Block Grant
Funding Objectives for the City of Moorpark, I am submitting a
request to consider items for the Senior Citizen's Center.
As you are aware, the Senior Center lease and its accompanying
programs are now the responsibility of the City. The Ventura
County Area Agency on Aging (VCAAA) has provided the city a
matching grant to fund a full time senior center coordinator, but
there are no allocated funds for operations costs or any capital
improvement items.
The Senior Advisory Committee have met with Senior Center
Coordinator Carol Ghens and myself and are recommending the
following equipment be requested through CDBG for the senior
center.
In priority order:
1. Cabinets(3) and Bookcase $1200.00
Storage is a premium at the senior center. These tall
cabinets (78 "h x 36 "w x 18 "d) will be able to hold many of
the supplies and equipment recently donated to the center by
the Moorpark Senior Citizens, Inc. The book case will alsc
be used for storage of reading material for those seniors whc
wish to drop by the center for some socializing and reading.
2. Oak Bulletin Board $ 200.00
There is a need to have a larger area in the center where
center activities and other important information can be
posted. This request is for two (2) bulletin boards.
3. Dishwasher for the kitchen $100C.00
There is no dishwasher at this time, and the recent programs
of the center indicate that special parties and lunch
programs will continue to be a big attraction to the center.
Dishes and silverware now must be washed by volunteers by
hand. A dishwasher would be of great assistance.
4. Easels $ 620.00
There has been numerous requests to offer more creative arts
programs at the senior center. This request is for eight (8)
table top easels to be used for painting and drawing classes,
and four (4) lightweight wood easels to be used to post
program information on.
TOTAL REQUEST
$3020.00
If you need further information, please let me know.

The enclosed application regards the acquisition fund. As we have
conceptualized it, the City will have discretion as to use of the fund.
As the CEDC locates a site that is acceptable to the City, we will seek
to access the balance of the acquisition fund. The larger the fund, the
more likely we will be successful in tieing down a site.
Cabrillo anticipates the commencement of an aggressive land
search. The CEDC intends to gain site control over the next year. We
are already in discussion, prior to the approval of the contract
extension, with several of the owners of the larger vacant sites in the
City of Moorpark.
Thank you for your continued assistance with our community block
grant. We look forward to moving dirt on our next project that will
provide additional housing opportunity for the low and moderate
citizens within the City of Moorpark.
Very truly yours,

Dear Marty:
I am pleased to be able to submit our 1993 Block Grant
Application. You will find our proposal interesting and
exciting.
This year our plan is to consolidate operations at the Hayes

you a few years ago. By doing this, our program will become
stable, and more importantly, critical services can still be
provided.
There is also exciting news to share with you. The State is
offering technical assistance to N.E.E.D. to upgrade our
management and operations as well as provide substantial funding
for this project. Our project includes hiring a bookkeeper and
upgrading our staff. We have a great opportunity to move forward
with our vision that has been delayed for various reasons.
I would like to request from you and

Dear Mr. Reynolds:
Please find enclosed five copies of a CDBG proposal submitted
by the Boys and Girls Club of Moorpark. The object of this
proposal is to provide handicap access for the newly acquired
facility, formerly the Moorpark Community High School gymnasium.
This proposal, in the amount of $21,500 would allow the Club
to construct ramp entrances and to reconstruct the bathrooms
to ensure accessibility to handicapped persons.
According to the Easter Seal Foundation, nearly 15% of our
residents are disabled to some extent. The Americans with
Disabilities Act of 1990 established very clear guidelines
to ensure that these members of our society would not be the
victims of discrimination. This act extends to privately
owned and operated facilities such as the Boys and Girls
Club. While it is our wish to provide these accotnodations,
we are hampered by the lack of necessary funds to accomplish
the task.
We are therefore requesting approximately 65% of the funds necessary
to complete the task. The remainder of the necessary funds will
be acquired through fund raising efforts and the use of donated
manpower.
If we can provide any further information regarding this proposal
or the Boys and Girls Club of Moorpark, please feel free to
contact the Club at any time.
Thank you for your consideration of this proposal.
(:i ncery,

hoods for housing acquisition, small business and economic development.
Iniurance companies are beginning to show interest in investing in CDBs, center
source says.
Clinton's campaign proposal to create 100 CDBs sparked interest in community
banking and scrutiny of existing systems, sources say.
American Bankers Assn supports expansion of community development lending
within the current banking system and last year established its own Center for
Community Development, says Mark Willis of Chase Manhattan Bank.
Willis tells House Financial Institutions Subcommittee that Congress should
provide investment and low income tax credits and other credit enhancement, better
access to secondary markets, allow participation by community development organi-
zations in government programs and ease appraisal procedure requirements and loan -
to -value ratios to boost community development lending.
GONZALEZ USES CLOSE RELATIONS WITH CISNEROS TO BUSH JOBS STIMULUS
House Banking Chairman Gonzalez (D- Texas) expects his 1993 Emergency Community
Development Bill, HR 7, to have a major impact on President Clinton's economic
stimulus package because of his close relationship with HUD Sec'y Cisneros. (CDD
1126p5)
Cisneros agrees to appear Feb. 17 - -the day Clinton will announce his economic
program -- before the Housing Subcommittee chaired by Gonzalez to give an overview
of HUD and programs contemplated by the new administration, Gonzalez reports.
The appearance will be followed by hearings in March on HR 7 and HR 27, Escrow
Account Reform Bill, also introduced by Gonzalez.
A recent private meeting with Cisneros is symbolic of close relationship
Gonzalez expects to have with the new HUD secretary as both are Hispanics from San
Antonio, an aide to the chairman says.
Gonzalez says mayors across the country have $100 billion in capital improve-
ment projects ready to go when the funding is provided and Cisneros understands
"this pressing funding need."
He tells Cisneros that "there is a silent depression" and jobs continue to be
lost. The secretary and Clinton realize new jobs are essential to economic
recovery, Gonzalez states.
Gonzalez urges administration to use temporary CDBG funding mechanism in HR 7
for any economic stimulus package.
"The beauty of this funding mechanism is that no new program needs to be set up
and no new and extensive regulations will be required," he says. "In addition, my
bill streamlines the distribution process to provide for quick flow of money to
communities."
The $30.4 billion authorization in HR 7 is "probably on the high side," but "no
doubt will influence the final decision" on the economic plan, Cisneros says.
Gonzalez receives a letter from Clinton, promising to work closely with him on
developing his economic package which is expected to be also around $30 billion,
including infrastructure funding and tax credits.
"Public infrastructure, including multifamily housing, must be a part of our
short- and long -term plans," Clinton tells Gonzalez.
Cisneros indicates additional funds will be requested for the fiscal 1993
budget for homeless housing, according to the chairman.
Gonzalez says he suggested additional fiscal 1994 funding for public and Indian
housing due to the backlog of 1 million people on waiting lists for federally-
