While funding for Long Term Care Ombudsman, Food Share, Inc., and RAIN Project Transitional Living Center is recommended, administration of the contracts can be completed by the County through Joint Power Agreements, thereby reducing the amount of city staff administration of these CDBG contracts. Since the City's allocation for administration is only $7,142.00 after funding is allocated for the Fair Housing Program, the Finance, Administration, and Public Safety Committee recommends that the Council use these funds available for administrative costs for the Human Services Center Project and use funding from the Redevelopment Agency to cover staff time spent on administration of the CDBG programs. ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION As final approval authority for CDBG funding allocations, the County of Ventura is the lead agency for preparation of environmental documentation pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements. , X00002 Honorable City Council March 5, 2008 Page 3 STAFF RECOMMENDATION (Roll Call Vote Required) Authorize the allocations recommended by the Finance, Administration, and Public Safety Committee from FY 2008 -2009 CDBG funds as described in the staff report.
