TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Steven Kueny, City Manager
DATE: August 1, 1985
SUBJECT: Cooperation Agreement for Participation in the
Community Development Block Grant Program
BACKGROUND:
With the participation of all six ( 6 ) cities under 50 , 000 population
in the County, the County of Ventura can qualify for Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding under the Urban County program.
If any of the cities fail to participate, the County does not qualify
as an Urban County. This is an Entitlement Program, which means that
funding is guaranteed for a three ( 3) year period, as opposed to
competing for funding on an annual basis. A copy of the County staff
report is attached.
The six ( 6) cities and Ventura County have agreed that the funds will
be distributed on a per capita basis. The County will retain 160 of
the program funds for administration 'of the program. Depending on the
level of funding available each year, Moorpark would be eligible for
about $100 ,000. 00 for each of the three ( 3 ) years.
In order to participate, Moorpark must approve the attached
Cooperation Agreement by August 12.
Participation in this program could assist in funding several com-
munity development projects in the City. After participation in the
program is assured, the City can then conduct the necessary procedures
to determine what local activities would receive funding.
