MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL __-
AGENDA REPORT ,��, �
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Jessica Sandifer, Management Anal
DATE: February 3, 2012 (City Council Meetin 02/15/12)
SUBJECT: Consider Ranking Recommendations for Fiscal Year 2012/13
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funding Proposals
BACKGROUND
Beginning in the 2010-11 grant year, the County of Ventura implemented a new process
for allocation of funding for the County's CDBG entitlement area funds. This new
process means that the County has taken over primary responsibility for administration
of the CDBG program. All applications for funds are made to the County and all final
decisions are made by the County. As a part of the new process, the County has
requested input from the entitlement area cities on funding recommendations for those
programs that affect their jurisdictions. After the County receives a prioritized list from
the entitlement area cities, the County will allocate the funds to the applicants based on
the City's prioritization within a five percent (5%) variance of the cap of Moorpark's
allocation.
For the FY 2012/13 CDBG grant year, the County's allocation has been reduced by
20.88%, making Moorpark's total allocation cap for FY 2012/13 year$136,042 of which
fifteen percent (15%) or $20,406, is allocated towards public service projects.
DISCUSSION
The County has forwarded those applications to staff that are relevant to the City of
Moorpark and staff is recommending a particular funding order. The City Council is
being asked to review staff's ranking of the funding recommendations. These
recommendations are due to the County by February 23, 2012.
As mentioned above, the City's proposed cap for FY 2012/13 is $136,042 of which
$20,406 is to be allocated for public service projects with the remaining funds allocated
to economic development or non-public service projects. Last year, staff recommended

allocating the City's non-public service project funds to a housing rehabilitation program.
However, during the County's annual audit by the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD), HUD staff indicated that there were changes to HUD
requirements for rehabilitation projects. County staff indicated that the changes no
longer made it cost effective to administer the rehabilitation programs, so County staff
defunded all Rehabilitation Programs countywide. In addition, HUD had indicated that it
was preferable that a larger percentage of CDBG monies be spent on Economic
Development programs in order to assist with jumpstarting the economy. The County
issued a CDBG Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for Economic Development. Staff
worked with the Economic Development Collaborative of Ventura County (EDC-VC) in
submitting two applications for programs that benefit Moorpark businesses directly. The
City's FY 2011/12 funds were allocated to the EDC-VC for the Small Business
Technical Assistance Program and the Small Business and Micro-Enterprise Loan
Program. The EDC-VC has submitted applications for FY 2012/13 to continue funding
these programs. The applications are attached to this report for Council's information.
Although EDC-VC's applications total $250,000, which is more than the City's non-
public service project allocation, the remaining requested funds will come from the
allocations of the other entitlement area cities that are benefitting from these services.
The remaining ranking recommendations are consistent with what the Council
recommended for FY 2011/12, for those projects that re-applied for funding.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve the FY 2012/13 CDBG non-public service and public service project ranking
recommendations and authorize staff to forward the recommendations to the County
Executive Office for review.

information to document the need for your specific project in the Entitlement Area.
The greatest threat to Ventura County's economic prosperity is our declining base of employment
across a broad range of industry sectors. Ventura County is down 25,000 jobs since December 2007,
nearly 10% of our economic base. Employment is our primary means for capital formation, for moving
from poverty and dependency on public services to financial independence and quality of life.
To combat this loss and lack of jobs, this project leverages and invests in a service with demonstrated
effectiveness, for direct, professional business advising and technical assistance, dedicated to business
stabilization and growth, concentrated on job creation and retention outcomes. We secure results by
deploying 30 professional consultants whose talents respond to business need. The project will benefit
32 low/moderate income workers at the cost effective rate of$2,500 per job.
Our declining employment situation directly impacts low income residents, whose lower educational
achievement and weaker labor market attachment results disproportionately in economic suffering.
Labor market data published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reveals that workers without a post-
secondary degree suffer unemployment two to three times the rate of higher degreed workers
(www.bls.qov/news.release/pdf/empsit.pdf, p.5).
Ventura County's unemployment rate is 9.8%, or 42,300 unemployed, with an estimated additional
14,000 under-employed and thousands more that have dropped out of the labor market, despairing for
opportunity. As documented by the CA Labor Market Information Division (Attachment B) this
unemployment is distributed throughout the proposed service region (low income data is from the
Consolidated Plan): Fillmore, 13.5% or 900 unemployed, 2,119 low income households; Moorpark
9.2% or 1,700 unemployed, 2,343 low income households; Ojai 11.2% or 500 unemployed, 1,427 low
income households; Port Hueneme 11.5% or 1,300 unemployed, 3,926 low income households; Santa
Paula 16.1% or 2,400 unemployed, 4,737 low income households; and an estimated 1,600 unemployed
workers in the County unincorporated area with as many as 5,700 low income households.
Our project is dedicated to job creation and retention, through direct technical assistance to business
on finance, management, customer service, market, and other issues, improving their profitability.
Direct small business consulting is a proven model to accelerate job creation. This project leverages
our existing U.S. Small Business Administration/Small Business Development Center resources, the
nation's premier job creation tool. Our own track record of creating nearly 300 jobs in 2011, on an
Economic Development Project Application-Revised July 2011 Page 2 of 13
10
investment of $470,000 in cash resources, indicates an outcome of one job created per each $1,700
invested. Our project target of one job created per $2,500 invested is adjusted upward owing to the
low/moderate income beneficiary and attendant higher barriers to employment.
This project leverages our existing partnerships with the City and County, whose economic
development leads participate monthly in our Economic Development Roundtable, assuring that
services are implemented in a coordinated manner.
PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENTS /OUTCOMES
The three program performance outcome categories listed below are required under the CDBG
program by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Outcomes are results
that are achieved through your project activities, not the activities themselves. Please check only one
box on this page that best applies to your project's outcomes and objectives.
Outcome 1. Availability/Accessibility
This outcome applies to proposals that make services, infrastructure, housing, shelter or jobs available
or accessible to low- and moderate-income people, including persons with disabilities.
Objective:
❑ Enhances the Living Environment through New/Improved Accessibility
❑ Creates Decent Housing with New/Improved Availability
X Promotes Economic Opportunity through New/Improved Accessibility
Outcome 2. Affordability
This outcome applies to proposals which provide affordability in a variety of ways in the lives of low-
and moderate-income people.
Outcome 3. Sustainabilit /Promoting Livable or Viable Communities
This outcome applies to proposals that are aimed at improving a community or neighborhood by
helping to make it more livable or viable by providing a benefit to principally low-and moderate-income
people or by removing or eliminating slums or blighted areas.
If this is a new project, describe how you will reach out to these beneficiaries?
This project is new to CDBG funding, though has been on-going through U.S. Small Business
Administration and Workforce Investment Act resources, and initially funded by CDBG in mid 2011-12
(though the 2011-12 activities are just launching at the time of this application, in December 2011).
Our primary outreach strategy is direct-to-business—that is, the employers of low and moderate income
workers—through consultant on-site visitation; through referrals by city staff; referrals by Chambers of
Commerce and professional service organizations; referrals by business service providers; by
business-to-business referral; print advertising, in the Ventura Star, the Pacific Coast Business Times
and Acorn; through VCEDA and Chamber of Commerce newsletters; and by targeted radio campaign.
We will also organize and sponsor not less than five business workshops/seminars throughout the
target region (specific topics will be developed in coordination with the cities and county and firms
served). See Attachment C for sample newspaper advertisement and small business workshop flyer.
Our means of reaching low and moderate income workers is by working directly with businesses, for
the goals of business retention and growth, resulting in opportunities for these businesses to hire and
retain workers, contributing to their financial well-being through employment income and benefits.
How will people or conditions in the community change as a result of what you do?
We seek and intend and will document and report two primary outcomes:
1) We will increase the number of jobs throughout the service area and secure the retention of jobs
at risk of layoff. The objective is improved economic opportunity through sustainable employment
Economic Development Project Application-Revised July 2011 Page 3 of 13
11
income for 32 low/moderate income workers.
2) An estimated 20 businesses (out of 42 for which we provide in-depth consulting) will be the
beneficiary of a documented milestone of improvement for their sustainability. Milestones include
jobs created or retained, business access to capital, increase in sales and new business start-up.
How will you measure the effectiveness or impact of your project in meeting the needs of the
persons assisted with these HUD funds?
Our existing Workforce Investment Board and Small Business Development Center funded projects
require detailed tracking of employment outcomes at the small businesses we serve. We have existing
tracking and reporting systems and dedicated staff to manage the documentation and follow-up. We
will track and report monthly progress on total number of businesses served, total jobs created and
retained for low and moderate income workers (see Attachment D for sample forms).
If the project has been funded before, what have been the primary accomplishments and
challenges?
The project seeks to expand our WIB and SBDC funded services operating countywide. These existing
programs have been successful in meeting overall regional goals for business assistance, job creation
and retention, but outreach into the target region business community has been a challenge owing to a
lack of capacity to target services to specific geographic regions. The proposed funding will provide the
dedicated capacity to concentrate outreach services into the target communities, resulting in more
business engagements and more jobs created and retained for low/moderate income workers.
2. COST
Describe how the overall project budget is cost effective and reasonable, as required by the
Federal Office of Management and Budget(OMB) and HUD, for the anticipated result.
The project's estimated cost per outcome of $2,500 per job created or retained far exceeds national
CDBG standards of $25,000 to $30,000 per job created. CDBG funds will be matched at a ratio better
than dollar-to-dollar by SBA, Small Business Development Center funds.
3. TIMELINESS/PROJECT READINESS
Identify the person(s) responsible for overall program administration and financial management
of the activity. Indicate how many years of experience they have managing CDBG or other HUD
programs.
Bruce Stenslie, President/CEO, has more than 4 years of experience in administering CDBG funded
economic development funded programs and over 20 years' experience in program administration in
workforce and economic development, managing programs funded through U.S. the Departments of
Commerce, Labor and Health & Human Services.
Ray Bowman, Small Business Development Center Director, is a business veteran with over 25 years
experience. He has started and operated his own firms, is an experienced consultant, trainer, and
manager for SBDC offices. Ray teaches at the Community College level and has published widely on
business and international trade. Bowman oversees the performance of small business services.
Kelly Noble, Project Manager/Office Manager: Noble has been with the EDC-VC for over eight years,
serving as our small business program services Coordinator. Noble is an experienced business
owner/entrepreneur and manages all day to day internal operations at EDC-VC.
Shalene Hayman, Controller: Hayman has served as the contract Controller for the EDC-VC since
2006, with over five years of CDBG reporting experience. She is the controller for United Way, Ojai
Sanitary District, CAUSE and several other non-profits.

Identify all other persons involved in the delivery of services for this activity, noting whether
these positions are current or pending this award.
See Attachment F for roster of professional business consultants under contract and for Small Business
services flyer. These consultants are ready and available for immediate service deployment.
Discuss the timeline for the project including dates for start and completion and other
significant stages such as hiring staff or securing a site, as applicable to your project. Indicate if
this project is ongoing in nature.
This project is up and running through U.S. SBDC funding so services funded by CDBG may begin
immediately upon award and contract execution. The project will complete all goals by June 30, 2013.
All staff and consultants necessary and appropriate to provide services are in place and ready to go.
If this project was funded last year and did not meet its goals or expend its full allocation,
please explain why. Not applicable.
4. MANAGEMENT AND PAST EXPERIENCE
Describe your organization's experience. Identify any skills, current services, or special
accomplishments that demonstrate your capacity for success.
Organizational Structure and Leadership: Established in 1996, the EDC-VC is a regional, non-profit,
public/private partnership. The EDC-VC Board of Directors (see Attachment G) includes elected
officials from the county's ten cities, two members of the Ventura County Board of Supervisors, and a
majority of private sector industry leaders. The EDC-VC hosts a monthly Economic Development
Managers Roundtable, which includes the economic development professionals from each of the cities
and county. The Roundtable focuses on best practices, the development of regional strategy, and the
review and evaluation of outcomes of our economic development investments. The County and cities
are all closely held partners of the EDC-VC, as annual dues paying members, investors in our small
business services, and members of our Economic Developers Roundtable.
The EDC-VC has continuously and successfully provided small business consulting services
throughout the County since 2001. In current and prior contracts with the County Workforce Investment
Board and U.S. SBA we have met all performance measures. We have met prescribed performance
measures for our Department of Commerce Revolving Loan Programs (as measured by default rates,
jobs created) and CDBG funded loan program with the City of Ventura (default rates,jobs created).
5. COLLABORATION
Identify any other agencies/partners in this activity and define the roles and responsibilities of
these partners.
Our primary collaborators are the cities of Ventura County, who serve on our Board of Directors and
participate through staff in our Economic Developers Roundtable. This assures that our services are
implemented in a complementary and coordinated manner with the cities and county. Another key
partner is the Ventura County Workforce Investment Board (WIB) and Job & Career Centers. We have
been a contract partner with the WIB continuously for 11 years, providing small business consulting for
the purpose of job retention and job creation.
This proposed program leverages our U.S. Small Business Administration SBDC program, which not
only augments our funding, but facilitates partnership with the region's banking institutions, helping
assure that we are networked with the region's financial and lending networks.
If you have no collaborative partners explain how you propose to coordinate your services with
other community agencies in order to leverage resources. See response to question above.

E. PROJECT BUDGET /LEVERAGING
Projects that receive an award of CDBG funding are often awarded less than the amount originally
requested. Discuss below whether your proposed activity could be undertaken with a reduced
commitment of funding and if so, highlight how that would affect the scope of services you are
proposing.
The proposed project remains viable with a lower amount of funding, though outcomes (as
calculated on dollar cost per outcome) would be reduced proportionally.
Should the reduced funding not fall lower than an estimated 60% to 70% of that proposed, the
scope of activity and cost per outcome of services would not change. We would continue with a
complete program of direct small business consulting, small business workshops/seminars, and
direct on-site business outreach to disseminate information about the available services, essentially
still maintaining outcomes at the proposed ratio of jobs created/retained at a cost of$2,500 each.
Should the total amount of funding fall below a certain threshold—estimated at 60% to 70% of the
proposed amount—we would have to re-evaluate which of the service components may no longer
be viable (that is, we may more significantly reduce or drop the workshop/seminar component) and
the cost per outcome would also increase, though in no instance exceeding $5,000 per outcome of
job created/retained.
Identify sources of leveraged funding, including in-kind match, for this activity in the Tables referenced
below, Include the status of these funds (i.e. cash on hand, grants received, planned fund-raising, in-
kind amount for volunteers, staff time, etc.).
See Attachment A. All identified matching and leveraged funding is pledged through existing U.S.
Small Business Administration/Small Business Development Center resources.

CDP is"Census Designated Place"-a recognized community that was unincorporated at the time
of the 2000 Census.
Notes:
1) Data may not add due to rounding. All unemployment rates shown are calculated on
unrounded data.
2)These data are not seasonally adjusted.
Methodology:
Monthly city and CDP labor force data are derived by multiplying current estimates of county
employment and unemployment by the employment and unemployment shares (ratios)of
each city and CDP at the time of the 2000 Census. Ratios for cities of 25,000 or more persons
were developed from special tabulations based on household population only from the Bureau of
Labor Statistics. For smaller cities and CDP, ratios were calculated from published census data.
City and CDP unrounded employment and unemployment are summed to get the labor force.
The unemployment rate is calculated by dividing unemployment by the labor force. Then the
labor force, employment, and unemployment are rounded.

Data Not Seasonally Adjusted
Labor Employ- Unemployment Census Ratios
Area Name Force ment Number Rate Emp Unemp
This method assumes that the rates of change in employment and unemployment, since 2000,
are exactly the same in each city and CDP as at the county level (i.e., that the shares are still
accurate). If this assumption is not true for a specific city or CDP, then the estimates for that area
may not represent the current economic conditions. Since this assumption is untested, caution
should be employed when using these data.

The greatest threat to Ventura County's economic prosperity is our declining base of employment
across a broad range of industry sectors. Ventura County is down 25,000 jobs since December 2007,
nearly 10% of our economic base. Employment is our primary means for capital formation, for moving
from poverty and dependency on public services to financial independence and quality of life.
To combat this loss and lack of jobs, this project invests in direct business lending, resulting in job
creation and retention. The project will directly benefit 9 low/moderate income workers at the cost
effective rate of$18,889 per job, all costs included. Loans may range from $5,000 to $25,000, subject
to limit adjustments per discretion of the Loan Board, the average loan is projected at$16,354.
Business access to capital is a key barrier to new hiring and employment growth. This project will
prioritize lending below market capital to small businesses that are unable to secure commercial credit,
with an objective of creating at least one job for not more than every $25,000 loaned.
Direct small business lending is a proven model to accelerate job creation. This project will leverage
our direct technical assistance to business on finance, management, customer service, market, and
other issues, as funded through our U.S. Small Business Administration resources. This project will
also leverage loan capital and capacity funded through the U.S. Department of Commerce.
The primary target areas for lending are the City of Moorpark ($110,000 proposed) and County
Unincorporated Area ($60,000 proposed), though with funding from the Unincorporated Area we would
consider lending to businesses located in the other four cities, assuming their co-investment through
CDBG under our proposed small business consulting and technical assistance program.
Ventura County's unemployment rate is 9.8%, or 42,300 unemployed, with an estimated additional
14,000 under-employed and thousands more that have dropped out of the labor market, despairing for
opportunity. As documented by the CA Labor Market Information Division (Attachment B) this
unemployment is distributed throughout the proposed service region (low income data is from the
Consolidated Plan): Fillmore, 13.5% or 900 unemployed, 2,119 low income households; Moorpark
9.2% or 1,700 unemployed, 2,343 low income households; Ojai 11.2% or 500 unemployed, 1,427 low
income households; Port Hueneme 11.5% or 1,300 unemployed, 3,926 low income households; Santa

Paula 16.1% or 2,400 unemployed, 4,737 low income households; and an estimated 1,600 unemployed
workers in the County unincorporated area with as many as 5,700 low income households.
This project leverages our existing partnerships with the City and County, whose economic
development leads participate monthly in our Economic Development Roundtable, assuring that
services are implemented in a coordinated manner. This project also would continue funding secured
in mid-year 2011-12 through CDBG for small business lending.
PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENTS / OUTCOMES
The three program performance outcome categories listed below are required under the CDBG
program by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Outcomes are results
that are achieved through your project activities, not the activities themselves. Please check only one
box on this page that best applies to your project's outcomes and objectives.
Outcome 1. Availability/Accessibility
This outcome applies to proposals that make services, infrastructure, housing, shelter or jobs available
or accessible to low- and moderate-income people, including persons with disabilities.
Objective:
❑ Enhances the Living Environment through New/Improved Accessibility
❑ Creates Decent Housing with New/Improved Availability
X Promotes Economic Opportunity through New/Improved Accessibility
If this is a new project, describe how you will reach out to these beneficiaries?
This project is new to CDBG funding, though initially funded by CDBG in mid 2011-12 (though the
2011-12 activities are just launching at the time of this application, in December 2011). Separately, we
have been lending continuously to businesses in the project area for over 12 years, using U.S.
Department of Commerce, Economic Development Administration funds.
Our primary outreach strategy is direct-to-business—that is, the employers of low and moderate income
workers—through consultant on-site visitation; through referrals by city staff; referrals by Chambers of
Commerce and professional service organizations; referrals by business service providers; by
business-to-business referral; print advertising, in the Ventura Star, the Pacific Coast Business Times
and Acorn; through VCEDA and Chamber of Commerce newsletters; and by targeted radio campaign.
(See Attachment C for EDC-VC loan program flyers.)
In coordination with our Small Business Development Center services, we will also organize and
sponsor not less than two business workshops focused on business access to capital.
Our means of reaching low and moderate income workers is by working directly with businesses, for
the goals of business retention and growth, resulting in opportunities for these businesses to hire and
retain workers, contributing to their financial well-being through employment income and benefits.
How will people or conditions in the community change as a result of what you do?
We seek and intend and will document and report two primary outcomes:
1) We will increase the number of jobs throughout the service area and secure the retention of jobs
at risk of layoff. The objective is improved economic opportunity through sustainable employment
income for 9 low/moderate income workers.
2) An estimated 9 businesses will be the beneficiary of a documented milestone of improvement for
their sustainability through access to capital.
How will you measure the effectiveness or impact of your project in meeting the needs of the
persons assisted with these HUD funds?
Economic Development Project Application-Revised July 2011 Page 3 of 13

Our existing City of Ventura CDBG and U.S. Department of Commerce/Economic Development
Administration (EDA) funded loan programs already require detailed tracking of the jobs created
through our lending activity. We have existing tracking and reporting systems and dedicated staff to
manage the report detail, documentation and follow-up. We will track and report monthly progress on
total number of businesses served, total jobs created for low and moderate income workers. See
Attachment D for intake and related reporting forms.
If the project has been funded before, what have been the primary accomplishments and
challenges?
The proposed project seeks to expand upon our U.S. Department of Commerce EDA loan program
services which are county wide. We have been successful in meeting overall regional goals for lending
and job creation with EDA funds, but outreach into the Moorpark and other small city business
communities has been a challenge owing to a lack of capacity to target services to specific geographic
regions. The proposed funding will provide the dedicated capacity to concentrate outreach services,
resulting in more business engagements, more loans made and more jobs created for low/moderate
income workers. (This project will also extend an existing 2011-12 program, just funded in November,
which is just now launching, so there are no outcomes yet to report.)
2. COST
Describe how the overall project budget is cost effective and reasonable, as required by the
Federal Office of Management and Budget(OMB) and HUD, for the anticipated result.
The project's estimated cost per outcome of $18,889 per job created (and $25,000 maximum) for low/
moderate income workers far exceeds national CDBG standards of$25,000 to $30,000 per job created.
3. TIMELINESS/PROJECT READINESS
Identify the person(s) responsible for overall program administration and financial management
of the activity. Indicate how many years of experience they have managing CDBG or other HUD
programs.
Bruce Stenslie, President/CEO, has more than 4 years of experience in administering CDBG funded
economic development funded programs and over 20 years' experience in program administration in
workforce and economic development, managing programs funded through U.S. the Departments of
Commerce, Labor and Health & Human Services.
Joe Palmer, Loan Officer, has 30 years of experience in all aspects of banking and lending, serving as
Chief Credit Officer for commercial lenders and as a contract underwriter for the banking industry.
Palmer has successfully administered our City of Ventura CDBG loan program for seven years.
Kelly Noble, Project Manager/Office Manager: Noble has been with the EDC-VC for over eight years,
serving as our small business program services Coordinator. Noble is an experienced business
owner/entrepreneur and manages all day to day internal operations at EDC-VC.
Shalene Hayman, Controller: Hayman has served as the contract Controller for the EDC-VC since
2006, with over five years of CDBG reporting experience. She is the controller for United Way, Ojai
Sanitary District, CAUSE and several other non-profits.
See Attachment E for resumes and for EDC-VC organizational chart.
Identify all other persons involved in the delivery of services for this activity, noting whether
these positions are current or pending this award.
See Attachment F for rosters of professional business consultants under contract to EDC-VC and Loan
Board. Our consultants are ready and available for immediate service in assisting with business plan
and credit evaluation. For this loan fund we may adjust the loan board roster to assure familiarity with
the target area business environment and to insure loan board independence.
Economic Development Project Application-Revised July 2011 Page 4 of 13
46
Discuss the timeline for the project including dates for start and completion and other
significant stages such as hiring staff or securing a site, as applicable to your project. Indicate if
this project is ongoing in nature.
Our loan service activities are up and running through funding from the City of Ventura CDBG and U.S.
Dept. of Commerce; we are ready to begin immediately upon award and contract execution. The
project will complete all goals by June 30, 2013. All staff and consultants necessary and appropriate to
provide services are in place and ready to go.
If this project was funded last year and did not meet its goals or expend its full allocation,
please explain why. Not applicable.
4. MANAGEMENT AND PAST EXPERIENCE
Describe your organization's experience. Identify any skills, current services, or special
accomplishments that demonstrate your capacity for success.
Organizational Structure and Leadership: Established in 1996, the EDC-VC is a regional, non-profit,
public/private partnership. The EDC-VC Board of Directors (see Attachment G) includes elected
officials from the county's ten cities, two members of the Ventura County Board of Supervisors, and a
majority of private sector industry leaders. The EDC-VC hosts a monthly Economic Development
Managers Roundtable, which includes the economic development professionals from each of the cities
and county. The Roundtable focuses on best practices, the development of regional strategy, and the
review and evaluation of outcomes of our economic development investments. The County and cities
are all closely held partners of the EDC-VC, as annual dues paying members, investors in our small
business services, and members of our Economic Developers Roundtable.
The EDC-VC has continuously and successfully provided small business consulting services
throughout the County since 2001. In current and prior contracts with the County Workforce Investment
Board and U.S. SBA we have met all performance measures. We have met prescribed performance
measures for our Department of Commerce Revolving Loan Programs (as measured by default rates,
jobs created) and CDBG funded loan program with the City of Ventura (default rates,jobs created).
5. COLLABORATION
Identify any other agencies/partners in this activity and define the roles and responsibilities of
these partners.
Our primary collaborators are the cities of Ventura County, who serve on our Board of Directors and
participate through staff in our Economic Developers Roundtable. This assures that our services are
implemented in a complementary and coordinated manner with the cities and county.
This program will leverage our funding and program capacity supported through the U.S. Department of
Commerce/Economic Development Administration, on behalf of which we administer a countywide
Revolving Loan Program. We anticipate leveraging this stream of revenue for the support of our Loan
Officer and to add capital for lending to businesses in the target areas.
This proposed program also leverages our U.S. Small Business Administration SBDC program, which
not only augments our funding, but facilitates partnership with the region's banking institutions, helping
assure that we are networked with the region's financial and lending networks.
EDC-VC establishes and maintains a Loan Board for all loan programs to provide professional credit
recommendations, assuring an independent voice and bringing in a diversity of opinions and lenders.
If you have no collaborative partners explain how you propose to coordinate your services with
other community agencies in order to leverage resources. See response to question above.

E. PROJECT BUDGET /LEVERAGING
Projects that receive an award of CDBG funding are often awarded less than the amount originally
requested. Discuss below whether your proposed activity could be undertaken with a reduced
commitment of fundinq and if so, hiqhliqht how that would affect the scope of services you are
proposing.
The proposed project remains viable with a lower amount of funding, though outcomes (as
calculated on dollar cost per outcome) would be reduced proportionally.
However, were the total funding available to fall below an estimated $70,000, we believe the
proposed program would not be viable, as baseline capacity expenditures necessary to deliver the
program would likely result in net outcomes exceeding $30,000 per job created.
Identify sources of leveraged funding, including in-kind match, for this activity in the Tables
referenced below. Include the status of these funds (i.e. cash on hand, grants received, planned
fund-raising, in-kind amount for volunteers, staff time, etc.).
See Attachment A, Table II. All identified matching and leveraged funding is pledged through existing
U.S. Department of Commerce, Economic Development Administration and U.S. Small Business
Administration/Small Business Development Center resources.

Agency or program. A copy of this file is included at the end of this application. The Excel File is
available on the Community Development website.
See Attachment A, Table I, 2011-12 CDBG program budget.
2. Anticipated Project Funding
Briefly describe what this grant will pay for in the space below. If your program includes more than
one component (i.e. emergency shelter, transitional housing, day care center, job training,
transportation), which specific component(s) will be paid for with the requested CDBG funds?
This grant will pay for job creation and retention services and outcomes as part of a targeted
economic development strategy of small business lending.
The proposed method of service is to make loans to small businesses/micro-enterprises in the City
of Moorpark, with a projected net cost of one job created per$18,889 in total program funds, and a
requirement for at least one job created for each $25,000 loaned. The loan program will provide
below-market financing for existing and new businesses that may not qualify for conventional loans.
The outcomes will be nine low/mod workers assisted through job creation.
Expenditures are for:
• assemble borrowers' applications and relevant financial information;
• prepare credit analysis and development of credit memoranda and presentations to Loan
Board in such instances as staff recommend a loan;
• all loan underwriting, servicing, and general administration, development and execution of
loan documents, for an estimated nine funded loans, all loan servicing and follow-up with
firms for payment and program hiring requirements.

• the development and provision of at least two workshops/seminars for groups of small
businesses on access to capital;
• outreach and coordination of services with other commercial and non-traditional lenders;
• printed and published outreach materials, mailings and professional capacity for the
implementation of an outreach strategy to Moorpark and area businesses;
• if necessary, provide a collection action report for any past due loans;
• dedicated staff capacity for program oversight, program and fiscal management, reporting
and documentation of outcomes.
• $147,187 in loan capital, anticipated to be distributed through 9 loans, averaging $16,568
per loan, with an allowable range of $5,000 to $25,000 per loan (total job creation is 9 jobs,
at $18,889 per job on all CDBG funds, or one job created per $16,354 in loan
disbursements, with a requirement that not less than one job will be created per the
maximum of$25,000 per loan).

Notes:
1) Data may not add due to rounding. All unemployment rates shown are calculated on
unrounded data.
2) These data are not seasonally adjusted.
Methodology:
Monthly city and CDP labor force data are derived by multiplying current estimates of county
employment and unemployment by the employment and unemployment shares (ratios)of
each city and CDP at the time of the 2000 Census. Ratios for cities of 25,000 or more persons
were developed from special tabulations based on household population only from the Bureau of
Labor Statistics. For smaller cities and CDP, ratios were calculated from published census data.
City and CDP unrounded employment and unemployment are summed to get the labor force.
The unemployment rate is calculated by dividing unemployment by the labor force. Then the
labor force, employment, and unemployment are rounded.

Data Not Seasonally Adjusted
Labor Employ- Unemployment Census Ratios
Area Name Force ment Number Rate Emp Unemp
This method assumes that the rates of change in employment and unemployment, since 2000,
are exactly the same in each city and CDP as at the county level(i.e., that the shares are still
accurate). If this assumption is not true for a specific city or CDP, then the estimates for that area
may not represent the current economic conditions. Since this assumption is untested, caution
should be employed when using these data.
