March 7, 2007 the Council heard the recommendations of the Finance, Administration,
and Public Safety (FAPS) Committee (Mayor Hunter and Councilmember Millhouse) on

DISCUSSION
Since the actual HUD — CDBG funding amounts for FY 2007/08 are higher that the
projections provided by the County and used for the Public Hearings and review for the
CDBG applications for funding FY 2007/08. The increase in actual funding results in an
additional $2,795 for Public Service Programs. The City Council can distribute the
$2,795 in the same percentages to those previously selected agencies without an
additional public hearing or direct staff to advertise for another public hearing. If the City
Council wishes to advertise for another public hearing it would require a minimum 30
day public notification period for the public hearing, prior to making the final decision on
the FY 2007/08 CDBG funding of Public Service Programs and Projects. This open
public hearing would allow all applicants to again present public testimony to request
funding and could result in changing the previously selected allocations. This action
would not be able to take place until at least the first Council meeting in May. It should
be noted that staff was required to have the funding allocations and copies of all public
hearing noticing and staff reports to the County by March 16, 2007, in order for the

County to stay on schedule with it's FY 2007/08 Funding Cycle which all culminates with
the County's third and final public hearing on May 8, 2007. If the City Council chooses
to hold another public hearing to consider a reallocation of the additional $2,795 to fund
a new public service program, then based on the limited time frame to conduct that
public hearing and meet the County's schedule, none of the service programs for the FY
2007/08 funding cycle will be funded and the program could be set back to the 2008/09
fiscal year.
The following table shows the distribution if the City Council chooses to distribute the
additional $2,795 based upon the percentages of funds previously allocated by the City

** Indicates total money allocated for the Human Services Complex project, including $7,528 from
City Administration monies, consistent with the FAPS recommendation to transfer all available
City Administration money into the Human Services Center project.
The Council has three options to consider regarding the increased funding, which are as
follows-
1 . Reallocate the $2,795 to the Public Services already approved by the Council at
the same designated percentages as shown in the table above; this option does
not require a public hearing.
2. Advertise for a new public hearing with a 30 day notification period for the
appropriation of the $2,795. This will delay the entire CDBG funding process and
will not return to the City Council for consideration until the first meeting in May.
3. Allocate the entire $19,538, the full increase in the actual HUD —CDBG funding,
into the Human Services Center Complex project, which would not require a
public hearing.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION (roll call vote required)
Allocate the entire $19,538, the full increase in the actual HUD —CDBG funding, into the
Human Services Center Complex project.
