Administrative Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
That the City Council: 1) approve the City's 1999-2000 Action Plan, 2) direct staff
to post the City's 1999-2000 Plan for a 30 -day period for public input and comments,
and 3) direct staff to execute and submit the City's 1999-2000 Annual Plan to the
United States Department of Housing and Urban Development.
BACKGROUND
This year's CDBG allocation is $935,432. To receive these funds and comply with
Federal regulations, the City must prepare an annual plan which seeks to address
unmet needs of low and moderate -income persons as identified in the City's
Five -Year CDBG Consolidated Plan. Fifteen percent of these funds may be used to
assist qualifying public services organizations. Attachment I lists the recommended
organization for the 99-00 plan. This plan was created under Federal eligibility
regulations, community needs, input from three community meetings, and review of
formal applications for CDBG funds submitted by community organizations.
Expenditure of CDBG funds is permitted in three cost areas: 1) administration,
2) public services, and 3) public improvements. Staff received eight requests for
public service CDBG funds, totaling $211,253. The total amount of the requests
exceed the available funding by $70,938. All public service requests were eligible
and funded; however, five of the eight are recommended for lower amounts than the
organizations had requested. (Please see attachment I.)
The lion's share of the total allocation must be spent on public improvements.
Previous action plans earmarked the majority of these funds for Newhall capital
improvements. For the first time this year, staff received three applications for
public improvement projects from the community. Of the three, one was not eligible.
The second requested funds for the curbs, gutters, and sidewalks program. Arcadia

Street also requires extensive drainage installation. Funding to Arcadia will
support design costs. The third request came from the Association to Aid Victims of
Domestic Violence. The $110,000 request is to help purchase a permanent domestic
violence emergency shelter.
Prior commitments obligates 67% of the CDBG public improvement dollars. Public
improvement funds not previously obligated equal $186,342 for the 1999-2000
Action Plan. Staff recommends that these public improvement dollars be used for
the following projects: Arcadia street, Association to Aid Victims of Domestic
Violence, and housing rehabilitation. (Attachment II lists these projects as well.)
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
1. Not adopt staffs recommendation, itemized in Attachments I and II.
2. Select alternative funding levels on CDBG eligible projects or programs.
FISCAL IMPACT

an Action Plan to utilize the 1999-2000 allocation of $935,432 in CDBG Entitlement
Funds. The Council's action on this report will be rolled into the 1999-2000 City
Budget process.
