* Indicates program that could be administered by the Countv, at no cost to
the Citv. throuoh
Joint Powers agreements if the City chooses to fund these particular programs.
** FAPS recommends that the $7,142.00 difference be used for the Human Services Center
Project.
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.
