CONSENT CALENDAR
DATE: April 8,1997
SUBJECT: CITY OF SANTA CLARITA CDBG 1997-98 ACTION PLAN
DEPARTMENT: Community Development Department
In May of 1995, the City Council approved and directed staff to submit the City's Consolidated
Plan -Action Plan document to the United States Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD). Santa Clarita's Consolidated Plan is a five year planning document that
specifically identifies the Housing, Community Development, and Social Service needs that exist
within the Community. The Action Plan specifically identifies the programs, projects and
activities that address our community needs in one year increments.
The attached Action Plan for Program Year 1997/98 represents Santa Clarita's formal
application for Federal Assistance available through the CDBG Entitlement Program. Included
within the Action Plan is: 1) a listing of proposed programs, projects and activities that the City
is requesting be funded during the upcoming fiscal year; 2) sign certifications required by HUD;
and 3) a description of the Public Participation Process that was facilitated by staff to gather
input from the community.
In developing the City's Action Plan, staff facilitated a public participation program that
included three (3) community meetings throughout the City. In an effort to promote these
meetings, staff prepared bi-lingual promotional information that was placed at all City Hall
public counters including the Newhall Community Center, and distributed to local community
groups, agencies, and residents. Additionally staff published a series of public notices and
advertisements in local newspapers including the Signal and La Vos Latina. Finally,
arrangements were made to ensure that bi-lingual program staff were present at all meetings
to gather input from all residents.
At this time staff is requesting that the City Council review and.approve Santa Clarita's
proposed 1997/98 CDBG Action Plan. Once the City Council has reviewed and approved this
proposed document, staff will provide residents with a thirty (30) day period to review and
comment upon the Action Plan. Following the conclusion of this thirty (30) day review period,
staff will then submit the proposed 1997/98 Action Plan to HUD for their review and approval.

Following HUD approval of the City's Action Plan, Santa Clarita will receive approximately
$955,000 in CDBG Entitlement Funding for the 1997/98 Fiscal year. At this time, staff is

APRIL 8, 1997
At the April 8, 1997 regular meeting of the Santa Clarita City Council, Councilmember Carl
Boyer made a motion to approve the City's 1997/98 CDBG Action Plan with the understanding
that staff make every effort to allocate $5,000 in CDBG Entitlement Money to the Santa Clarita
Valley Child and Family Development Center.
Upon review of the Proposed CDBG Budget for Fiscal Year 1997/98, staff determined that an
additional $5,000 in funding could be reallocated from "Public Improvements" (Handyworker
Program and West Newhall CIP) to "Public Services" in order to provide funding to the Child and
Family Development Center.
Based upon this direction from the City Council, the Proposed CDBG Entitlement Budget for
Fiscal Year 1997/98 now reads as follows:
Handyworker $ 180,000
