Director of Community Development JOHN F. KNIPE City Engineer JOHN V. GILLESPIE Chief of Police RICHARD T. HARE City Treasurer Donald P. Reynolds, Jr., Management Analyst DATE: April 12, 1991 SUBJECT: Final Appropriations of the 1991/91 Community Development Block Grant, (CDBG) , Estimated to Be $194,580 Pursuant to Council direction at the April 4, 1991 meeting, staff has met with the Budget and Finance Committee, (Committee), and is returning to the April 17, 1991 Council meeting in order to recommend appropriation of the 1991/92 anticipated $194,580 of CDBG funding. Background On April 4, 1991, staff reported to the Council that past CDBG appropriations focussed primarily on the Low and Moderate income objective, in the form of public services, public improvements, affordable housing and youth activities. The specific details are listed in Attachment "A ". Based on past appropriations from February 25, 1991, staff reported to Council that funds have been moved from affordable housing and public facility improvements for street work, to the removal of architectural barriers, (the building of handicap access ramps) , and to assist the Moorpark Boys and Girls Club acquire a new satellite facility. The net result of the Council action is that $136,790 was moved from affordable housing projects and $78,266 from street improvement funding for a total reallocation of $215,056. Staff recommended that the Council consider funding projects that would move quickly. Charles Street improvements are currently being designed with CDBG funds, however, it is anticipated that there will be insufficient funds to complete the project. Staff recommended that the Council consider this project for a possible use of CDBG funds. 799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, Califomia 93021 (805) 529 -6864 Included in the April 4, 1991 report was the possibility that the funds could be reappropriated by Congress, and that the anticipated amount of CDBG funds could be less than anticipated. The City has been informed that it will know if these changes take place by the end of June, 1991. Discussion Staff has met with the Budget and Finance Committee, and has attempted to review all possible applications for the use of CDBG funds. The recommended appropriations which resulted from this meeting include disbursement of anticipated funds in the amount of $194,580 into eligible CDBG categories that meet the HUD criteria as follows: Administration $21,620; Public Services $29,187; Other Projects $143,773. The establishment of the proposed final appropriations for each category is summarized below and in Attachment "B." Administration All funds for this purpose are proposed by the Committee for use by the City. As you are aware, staff currently spends more time on CDBG matters than covered by the funding and this is expected to continue in 1991/92. City staff will require more funding for CDBG administration than the amount which is currently available. Public Services In consideration of requests which totalled $77,304, the Committee is recommending that 7 programs share the anticipated amount of funds which equals $29,187. The Committee recommends that Moorpark Seniors be recommended for funding which totals $12,487 to support the Senior Nutrition Program, ($10,500) and a portion of the requested equipment ($1987). Regardless of the Senior Club's success with their grant for funding a portion of their proposed Executive Director, the Budget and Finance Committee recommends that staff support for the Seniors be considered for funding from the City as part of developing the 1991/92 budget recommendations. The Adult Literacy program is proposed to receive an amount which is sufficient to maintain this service to the public for another year, beginning in September, 1992. This amount is $5,000. As you will recall the program did not receive CDBG funding until September 1990 and it extends through August 1991. The Legal Services Program is recommended to receive $1,200 in funding. The intention is that this would be combined with a carryover of approximately $5,800 from prior year CDBG appropriations and provide them for total CDBG funding of $7,000 for 1991/92. The program has not yet executed an agreement and it is anticipated that only two months (May and June 1991) of CDBG funding will be expended. By combining $1,200 of 91/92 CDBG funds with the 90/91 carryover it will provide the Program with the same $7,000 as was granted in 90/91. The Homeless Ombudsman program is proposed to receive its request from the City which is based on the percentage of persons who receive service from Moorpark. This project is also eligible for a Joint Powers Agreement between the City and the County for administration of the grant funds. The Committee proposes to fund half of the Catholic Charities Case Worker position, contingent upon the local organization's ability to raise the second half of their requested funds. Affordable Housing and Street Improvements The objective of the Committee for these uses is to replace funds that have been moved from past CDBG appropriations. For this reason, the Charles Street improvement project is proposed to receive $81,773, because this amount of funds will be used quickly, replace past appropriations and allow the City to initiate the project in the near future. In addition, since CDBG funds are being used for the Charles Street design at least some of the construction funding must be CDBG funds. Affordable Housing Land Acquisition is proposed to receive a portion of the balance of funds (60,000), because this project is anticipated to move more slowly than the Charles Street road improvements, and may be considered for additional funds from other City resources, or from the 1992/93 CDBG program year. In addition, repayment of the $100,000 planned loan to the Boys and Girls Club is targeted for this purpose. The acquisition of a facility for the Food Share program, receives a recommendation for $2,000 of funding which will help to compensate for the increased cost of the purchase of a facility to be added to last year's appropriation of $5,000. Summary This year, the City received proposals from many valuable service agencies for the use of Moorpark CDBG funds in the community. As the City grows, it is impossible to fund each agency's request. After careful consideration, the Committee recommends the funding amounts as discussed above and summarized in the recommendation portion of this report. 3 Recommendation That the City Council appropriate the 1991/92 Community Development Block Grant funds, estimated to be $194,580, as follows: Administration $21,620 Public Services $29,187 Senior Nutrition 10,500 Adult Literacy 5,000 Homeless Omb. 500 Legal Services 1,200 Long Term Care 2,500 Senior Club Equip. 1,987 Cath.
