DATE: January 10, 2011 (City Council Meeting of 1/19110)
SUBJECT: Consider Ranking Recommendations for FY 2011-12 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 of$206,141.
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 staffs ranking of the funding recommendations. These recommendations
are due to the County by January 31, 2011.
As mentioned above, the City's proposed cap for the FY 2011-12, is $206,141 of which
20% or $30,921 is allocated for public service projects with the remaining $175,220
allocated towards projects. Since the Design and Engineering of the Ruben Castro Human
Services Center is completed, CDBG funds are no longer eligible to be used on this project
without triggering the federal Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirement, which would
require more administration of the project from staff then state prevailing wage laws. This
year, staff is recommending allocating all of the remaining project money to a housing
rehabilitation program for the City. Under the new CDBG process, the County will take care
of the administration of the program for the City. It is anticipated that these funds will pay
for three rehabilitation projects this year.
The remaining ranking recommendations are consistent with what the Council
recommended for FY 2010-11, for those projects that re-applied for funding.
