Staff has reviewed the list of eligible activities, and recommends that Council approve the following projects: 1. Legal Aid Society of San Bernardino, Inc., $ 57000 2. Inland Temporary Homes, Inc., Playground Resurfacing 1,000 3. Alley Improvements, East End -"C", "D", & "E" 27,000 4. Historic Preservation -Colton Museum Restoration 18.900 Total: $51,900 DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: Projects #1, 2, and 3 are new CDBG projects that were considered for funding from the City's Fiscal Year 1998-99 CDBG allocation on February 171h Unfortunately, they were not selected. Subsequently, staff has reviewed the City's CDBG Contingency Account, and with the $15,766 that is set-aside for Councilman Donald Sanders, there are sufficient funds to approve the three new projects, and allocate additional funds to the Colton Museum Restoration project. The Legal Aid Society project is a Public Service Program. As Council is aware, the City has already allocated the maximum amount of CDBG funds for Public Service projects ($55,200) for Fiscal Year 1998-99. Staff has requested the County to permit the funding of this project, as it will provide legal aid to low and moderate income persons in Colton and the surrounding County areas. Item # 15
