CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
By
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Donald P. Reynolds Jr., Administrative Services Manag
DATE: December 19, 1994, (CC Meeting of January 4, 1995) �-�
SUBJECT: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Status Report
and Consider Development of 1995/96 Funding Objectives
Introduction
The following report will summarize past City CDBG appropriations,
review the status of these programs, and suggest certain objectives
for the upcoming CDBG appropriations for consideration by the City
Council. Staff is recommending that funds continue to be provided
for public services to the maximum amount allowed by law, that
administrative funds be set -aside for the estimated needs of the
upcoming fiscal year, and that the balance of the grant be applied
towards a street improvement project and /or affordable housing that
will allow the City to expend funds in compliance with HUD
requirements, (which includes a requirement to maximize
expenditures by not having a surplus balance of CDBG funds greater
than 1.5 grant years based upon the amount of the most recent grant
year).
In conformance with procedures established for the CDBG program on
April 12, 1989, staff requests authorization to distribute requests
for proposals during the month of January. Proposals are due to
the City on February Sixth, and the citizen participation process
is initiated and completed in the month of March and April. It has
been the City's practice to open the public hearings at the first
Council meeting in March, refer the proposals and public testimony
to the Budget and Finance Committee, and conclude the process with
the Committee's recommendations at the first meeting in April. The
City's proposals will be submitted to the County during the first
week in April. The 1995/96 funds (estimated to be $200,000) will
most likely be available for the City's use between July and
September, 1995.
BACKGROUND
The City participates in the annual appropriations of grant funds
for CDBG program as part of the Urban County Entitlement program,
( "Entitlement program ") administered by the County of Ventura, in
cooperation with the cities of Camarillo, Port Hueneme, Ojai,
Fillmore, Santa Paula and Moorpark. The Housing and Community
Development Act of 1974, as amended, established three national
objectives for the Community Development Block Grant: 1) to benefit
a majority of low and moderate income persons (currently set by HUD
at 750); 2) to eliminate slum and blighted conditions, and; 3) to
meet a particularly urgent health and safety need in the community.

CDBG RFP's 1995/96
December 1994
This is the first year that HUD will distribute funds to the County
without considering the City of Camarillo. Camarillo decided not
to participate in the County's program because their population has
increased above 50,000 and they now qualify as a separate
Entitlement. Therefore, it is difficult to estimate the amount of
funds that will be awarded to the County, and distributed to
Moorpark. The County is advertising a funding level that is very
conservative, estimating that at least two million dollars will be
made available, compared to 2.8 million dollars last year.
The distribution of the CDBG monies is based upon a formula
incorporated into a three year "cooperative agreement," (entering
its first year on July, 1995), between the Entitlement cities and
the County. The first two cooperative agreements distributed funds
using a simple per- capita formula. The third and current
cooperative agreement moved to a formula closely resembling HUD's
by distributing the money based on an average of population,
poverty levels and overcrowded housing. The cooperative agreement
applicable to the 1995 CDBG program and for the next three years,
will completely resemble the HUD formula by applying specific
percentages to each of the three criteria.
Under the original formula, (1986 to 1991), the City would be
receiving close to 11 percent of the funds, and during the past
three years, after adjustment to the new formula, the City received
8.9 percent of the funds. As proposed for 1995, the City's share
would have decreased again to 6 percent, but without considering
Camarillo, the City's share will be 8.4 percent. The decrease in
funding to Moorpark as a result of changes to the distribution
formula, has resulted in a lower allocation of between $15,000 and
$20,000 per year since 1990.
All of Moorpark's past appropriations have focussed on the
"low /mod" benefit criteria through either public services, housing,
infrastructure improvements in eligible neighborhoods, and
administrative expenses related to the management of these
programs. A family of four is considered to be a low income family
if the total family income is less than 80 percent of the median
income. In 1994, this income figure was below $39,900. Although
technically, a majority of the funds used under this national
objective have to benefit the "low /mod" income criteria, HUD has
established a target of 75 percent low and moderate income benefit.
This application of the national objective allows a CDBG project to
benefit a lower majority of low income persons, as long as other
CDBG projects are used to benefit a higher majority to reach an
average of 75 percent.

CDBG RFP's 1995/96
December 1994
The grant is limited in its funding of public service activities
and administrative funds. Public services are limited by a 15
percent cap placed on the "project" funding appropriation,
( "project" funding is the City's total grant amount less
administration funds). The amount of administrative funds are
calculated based upon a formula prescribed in the three year
cooperative agreement using 10 percent of the grant amount of the
Entitlement appropriation from HUD, regardless of the amount made
available for projects in each jurisdiction.
Attachment "A" summarizes the City's past CDBG appropriations since
its inception in 1986. The use of funds has varied from one
program in 1986, to 11 different programs in 1991/92, to 8 programs
currently.
When the County and City fund the same program, a Joint Powers
Agreement (JPA) can be executed where the County assumes
responsibility for managing the activities. In the past, the
Council approved JPA's for the following projects; 1987- Networking
for Housing, 1990- Casa Pacifica public improvement project, Food
Share Warehouse Acquisition, the Long Term Care Ombudsman and the
Homeless Ombudsman program. In 1993, and 1994, the Long Term Care
Ombudsman and the Homeless Ombudsman programs received joint
support. The County will hold its hearing in March, 1995, and
based on the Board of Supervisor's decisions, the City will know
which proposals will be eligible for a JPA before making its final
decisions on April 5, 1995.
PROGRAM STATUS
All of the four public service contracts have been executed, and
have initiated the new year's service during the fall of 1994. All
of the JPA's have been executed and have drawn down all of their
funds. At mid -year, after using Moorpark's $2,000 contribution, the
County had to delete the position of "Homeless Ombudsman,"
replacing it with case workers to assist homeless persons and
others in need of social services.
The City's First Street project closes the solicitation for bids
during the first week in January, using $323,531 of the City's
CDBG. The City's earthquake assistance for the Mayflower Market is
currently out for bid, and will also be closing during the first
week of January. By February, all of the City's CDBG funds will be
obligated to specific projects that are making progress.

DISCUSSION
HUD Expenditure Objective
Last year at this time, staff reported that the County was placed
on probation by HUD for the second time in June 1993, for not using
CDBG fast enough, (the first probation was in 1990). In the 1993
status report to Council, it was recognized by staff that the City
had to identify a project to use $54,000 in CDBG by March 1994, to
assist the County meet the HUD regulation of timely expenditures.
The City's Charles Street Phase II project met and exceeded this
goal. Since that time, the Council has moved $130,784 of
unobligated funds to First Street, avoiding any likelihood that
Moorpark would be behind HUD's progress objective. At this time,
as result of those decisions, the City is using CDBG funds to
address the needs of the community more efficiently and faster than
it has before.
New Regulations
The federal government has proposed and /or is in the process of
implementing several new regulations. Most are the result of HUD's
effort to be "reinvented."
The most significant change is to the required comprehensive
housing study, originally referred to as the Housing Assistance
Plan ( "HAP ") in 1991, the Comprehensive Housing Affordability
Strategy ( "CHAS ") in 1992, and replacing the CHAS in 1994 is the
new Consolidated Plan. The consolidated plan attempts to combine
all reports for a variety of HUD's programs (e.g., "HOME," "HOPE,"
"HOPWA," Section 8, CDBG) into one comprehensive study of the
community. The needs addressed in each grantee's consolidated
plan, will have to tie directly to the needs addressed in CDBG
projects, and several other housing related HUD programs.
A second change is an attempt by HUD to facilitate the use of CDBG
for economic devlopment purposes. These regulations include
creating a new eligibility group and special provisions to assist
"microenterprises" defined as businesses with five or fewer
employees. The types of assistance available from CDBG for
microenterprises includes general guidance and business management,
personal finance counseling, training on specific topics such as
substance abuse at the work -site and sexual harassment, and other
management tools. HUD perceives this legislation to be part of the
delivery cost of providing an economic devlopment activity, and
therefore does not limit these projects by imposing the public
service funding cap.
Cl

CDBG RFP's 1995/96
December 1994
Other changes that may have a minor impact on the City include
penalties for late report filings, the semantics applied to the
terms "low and moderate income persons," changes to increase HUD's
control of "Program Income" (Moorpark has none, but this law does
impact housing rehabilitation loan repayments), the use of quotas
applied to the amount of recycled products used in federally funded
projects, and changes to the Rule 3 of the Civil Rights Act of
1968. The proposed change to the Civil Rights laws include such
provisions as awarding contracts to companies who not just bid the
lowest, but plan to employ the most persons from the neighborhood
where the project is located. All of these provisions, in some form
or another, are applicable to the 1995 grant year.
CDBG Public Staff Meeting (December 8, 1994)
HUD requires that the public be allowed to share CDBG proposals
with agency staff persons prior to the public hearing, held at the
County Government Center. Four proposals were presented out of
twenty, that tie directly to existing City services: senior
nutrition, Homeless Ombudsman, Long Term Care Ombudsman and teen
counseling provided by the Palmer Drug and Alcohol Dependency
Program, "PDAP", (which is a subcontractor for E1 Concilio for
Project Pride). The City anticipates receiving some form of a
proposal from the County to address the County -wide issue of
assisting persons without permanent housing, but is currently
uncertain about its exact meaning, (in lieu of not having a
"Homeless Ombudsman "). Public testimony indicated that the needs
are increasing for services to the homeless, and that the County's
ability to provide these services has been significantly reduced
when compared to prior years.
One proposal was received from the County of Ventura's Personnel
Department for the use of CDBG to support a job training and a
small business development program under the newly created federal
eligibility regulations described above. The County has been
utilizing a State grant which ends in June, 1995, and is asking for
CDBG to replace it.
Proposed Funding Priorities
Public Improvements
Improvements to the City infrastructure in the low and moderate
communities have continued to be a successful way to use CDBG, and
continue to represent a significant need in the City.
5
00075
CDBG RFP's 1995/96
December 1994
The Moorpark Redevelopment Agency and City Public Works departments
presented a proposed Capital Improvement Project (CIP) list to the
Council and Agency members at the end of fiscal year 1993/94,
(Attachment "B "). In this listing, CDBG was mentioned as a
possible funding source for several projects.
As noted in previous staff reports, only one census block in the
City is automatically eligible for CDBG, that being the area in
Moorpark north of High Street, including Walnut Canyon, Charles
Street, Everett Street and Wicks Road. The First Street and
Virginia Colony projects were qualified using surveys. Any of the
residential projects listed on the CIP south of High Street, and
west of Spring Road or east of Moorpark Avenue, will require
surveys.
Candidate projects that are currently eligible (referring to the
CIP) include Everett Street and Magnolia Street improvements.
Projects that will require a survey but are most likely eligible,
include Poindexter Reconstruction, and alley reconstruction on
First Street. Due to the past successes of this use of CDBG and
the efficiency by which CDBG can be used for this purpose, staff
strongly recommends that the Council consider this use as a top
priority.
Housing
Housing projects have not been considered as an efficient use of
CDBG in Moorpark over the past few years. CDBG can slow progress
on housing projects, and at the current pace of increasing
interests rates, combined with the high cost of land, could
potentially prevent a CDBG housing project from maintaining its
availability to low and very low income families.
A housing preservation program is being developed by the Moorpark
Redevelopment Agency. Although the program is well underway, it is
too early to determine if the Agency will have enough interest in
the project to warrant the need of Entitlement CDBG funds. Staff
recommends deferring consideration of the use of CDBG for housing
preservation until fiscal year 1996/97, after the initiation of
public outreach.
Public Services
Many proposals were received by the City in 1994 from local and
county -wide public service agencies. In 1993 and 1994, the 15%
allotment for this use was divided among 6 different agencies
serving the seniors, homeless, the literacy program, legal
assistance and other various needs of the low and moderate income
population. The cost of these programs appears to have stabilized,
9

CDBG RFP's 1995/96
December 1994
and so have the number of beneficiaries. Staff recommends that the
Council consider the use of the 15 percent allotment for currently
funded public services based the performance of past programs, and
new programs based upon the new program's proposed service levels.
Current performance levels are provided in Attachment "C." As
previously mentioned, funding levels may be lower in 1995, and if
so, would decrease the City's ability to serve as many persons as
in previous years with CDBG.
Administration
Since 1989, the City has approved the expenditure of CDBG for
administrative purposes. This amount has ranged from between
$19,070 to $25,740, and accounts for approximately half of the
salary and benefits of the Administrative Services Manager and a
portion of the Senior Planner in Community Development.
For the past three years, in response to a HUD mandate, the County
requested that 1% of the Administrative funds ($1,890 in 1992/93,
$1,980 in 1993/94 and $1,600 in 1994/95) be contributed to
"affirmatively further fair housing." The cost was down last year,
because this is the first of three years that Camarillo
participated. Camarillo won't be participating in 1995, therefore,
staff is anticipating a small increase. Staff has been informed
that this request will be made each year by the County from the
administrative set -aside until the law changes to allow fair
housing to be considered a public; service.
As previously reported to the Council, the City is only being
reimbursed for 50 percent of the actual cost for grant
administration. When proposed to the County that the City solicit
100 percent approval per the requirements stipulated by OMB
Circular A -87, the County referred to this request as being almost
impossible, and that even the County does not have an approved plan
from HUD for billing indirect and general overhead expenses. As a
result, only $88,000 of a need close to $170,000 was collected.
This lead to a surplus of CDBG in this account, which was addressed
by the Council by re- appropriating funds for First Street in
October of this year. Due to the surplus, the City is currently
spending 1993 grant monies for administration, with no
appropriation from the 1994 grant year. In 1995 however, between
$25,000 and $28,000 will be needed for this purpose for both the
staff of Community Development and Administrative Services.

Public Services that have

The initiation of a Vocational Training program with the Boys
and Girls Club, (CDBG sponsorship ended in January 1992).
Acquisition of equipment for the Moorpark Senior Citizens
Club, which has now been transferred to the City and remains
at the Senior Center.
Street Improvements- 76.38% of Funds)
Street improvements have progressed rapidly over the past year.
First Street is scheduled to begin in February. Combining the
beneficiaries of Charles Street, First Street and Virginia Colony,
over 300 households have benefitted from these projects.
The City's handicap ramp project which installed over 150 ramps in
previously un -cut sidewalks, is estimated to benefit 10 percent of
the community, or 2,700 persons.
Other Public Improvements- 2.05% of Funds
Jointly funded public improvements have progressed well and are
completed. The Food Share warehouse acquisition project was
completed relieving this non - profit agency of monthly rental costs
for their facility. The Casa Pacifica project, (housing for abused
and battered children), is open to the public.
Affordable Housinq- (3,..75% of Funds)
Due to the slow moving progress on CDBG housing efforts, the City
reprogrammed 17 percent of these funds to street improvements. The
CEDC contract ended, and the loan to Networking for Housing was
awarded to the Area Housing Authority for a project near Lake Piru

to develop affordable housing units for that community.
Administration-C6.94% of Funds)
The need for funding administrative costs continues because of the
many Moorpark CDBG programs being funded, frequent changes in the
federal laws, and the need for the City to submit annual reports
and other documents related to the performance of the program. Last
year, the City identified its costs and was able to catch -up on
reimbursements for past expenses. The balance of funds was used
for anticipated costs for the current fiscal year, and
reappropriated for First Street improvements.
The Fair Housing contribution (equal to .35% of the Administrative
funds) made by the City over the past two years, has been utilized
for a contract service located in Camarillo, designed to serve the
Entitlement area. All jurisdictions in the Entitlement group
contributed to this program. Services available to Moorpark
residents include a 24 hour hot -line, outreach, consultation and
assistance filing complaints.
