SUBJECT: Final Appropriations of the 1990/91 Community Development
Block Grant, (CDBG), Estimated to Be $171,090
Background
Pursuant to Council direction at the March 21, 1990 meeting, staff has
met with the Budget and Finance Committee, (Committee), and is
returning to the April 4, 1990. council meeting in order to recommend
final appropriations.
On January 3, 1990 staff reported that past CDBG appropriations focussed
on public improvements and affordable housing projects. The specific
details of past appropriations are listed in Attachment A.
In the March 21, 1990 report, staff reviewed the specific details of the
City's affordable housing and public improvement projects. The public
improvements have been approved for Virginia Colony and parts of Charles
Street. Staff recommended a reconsideration of the affordable housing
appropriations, based on recent developments relative to HUD
regulations.
799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 (805) 529-6864
CDBG Appropriations
March 29, 1990
The affordable housing projects can be summarized as follows:
Program 1987/88 1988 89 1989/90 Totals
Cabrillo Economic
Development Corp. $75,000 $ 75,000
Networking $ 5,000 $ 5,000
Hsg. Rehabilitation $75,000 $25,000 $100,000
Equity Share $62,750 $ 62,750
Land Acguis. $29,250 $ 29,250
Totals $80,000 $75,000 $117,00 $292,000
Staff specifically recommended that the equity share funds be
reappropriated to other affordable housing programs under CDBG, and that
this program be developed with local funding sources instead. If
approved, this would free $62,750 for other uses, (such as land
acquisition).
At the March 21 public hearing, testimony was received by the following
agencies: Networking for Housing in Ventura County, Cabrillo Economic
Development Corporation (CEDC), Clinicas Del Camino Real, Long Term Care
Services of Ventura County, Ventura County Youth Connection, Area
Housing Authority, County of Ventura Public Social Services Agency,
(adult and senior services), Reading Program for Adults, and Channel
Counties Legal Services. Although all of these agencies provide a
public service, some proposals are eligible to receive funds as public
improvements because the request for funds is related to permanent
facility improvements. Out of twelve proposals, $50,000 would be
eligible under public improvements for the benefit of low and moderate
income persons, and $54,200 would qualify as public services for low and
moderate income persons, (and be subject to the 15% cap, not to exceed
$25,600).
Discussion
Since the March 21, 1990, public hearing, staff has met with the
Committee, addressed the eligibility concern relative to the equity
share appropriations, and finalized this year's recommendation to the
Council for the 1990/91 CDBG program.
The Committee is recommending that the equity share program be developed
with a separate funding source, thereby making $62,750 available for
other affordable housing projects. This is due to HUD requirements
which prohibited this activity in other jurisdictions.

Furthermore, it is recommended that the rehabilitation program be
initiated as soon as possible with the previous appropriation of
$100,000. Considerations for land acquisition included combining the
1987/88 CEDC appropriation with the 1989/90 funds thus setting aside
$167,000 from past appropriations for this purpose, ($75,000 + $62,750
+ $29,250 = $167,000). This amount could be increased by funds from the
1990/91 program.
Recommendation for 1990/91 CDBG Appropriations:
Administration- It is recommended that program administration be funded
as it has in the past two years, ($19,010).
Public Services- In consideration of six service requests totalling
$54,200, the Committee is recommending that three programs be funded
under this eligibility criteria and be disbursed as follows: Moorpark
Literacy program, ($8,000); Senior Nutrition, ($10,000) and; the
Homeless Ombudsman Program, ($500). The total service appropriation
would be $18,500.
This leaves a balance of $133,580 to be split between affordable housing
and public improvements, (both for service agencies and the City
projects).
Public Improvements- Staff is recommending that the Youth Connection
(Casa Pacifica Project) and Area Housing Authority proposal for
improvements at their new site be awarded the full request of $25,000,
and that the Food Share request of $10,000 for the acquisition of a new
warehouse be funded at 50% or $5,000.
The Committee is recommending that the balance of $103,580 be split
between improvements to Charles Street ($51,790) and land acquisition
for affordable housing ($51,790).
The funds set aside for land acquisition, if staff's recommendation is
approved for 1990/91, would now total $218,790. Whether or not CDBG
will be able to fund acquisition for an entire affordable housing
project is doubtful, and eventually, the City may have to consider a
combination of resources in reaching this objective.
Based on staff's recommendations for 1990/91, a comprehensive
perspective of the CDBG program has been illustrated in Attachment B.
Summary•
As the City's CDBG program grows, the City Council is able to
appropriate funds to help more people in need of assistance. It is
impossible to meet all the agency and staff requests. This year, the
volume of applications required a lengthy review and careful
CDBG Appropriations
March 29, 1990
consideration of each proposal in order to assure that as many needs
were addressed as possible. Staff feels that the above mentioned
recommendations are the result of these efforts, and would like to
encourage all that did not receive funding this year, to please return
and apply again next year.
Staff would like to thank all who applied, and congratulate them on
their hard work to better serve the people of Moorpark and Ventura
County.
