City Council Meeting of March 2, 1999 CDBG Project 1999-2000 Page 2 Capital and community improvement projects, such as street improvements, code enforcement, and child care facilities, have traditionally received strong support for funding from residents of Colton. Neighborhood residents appear to be more receptive to funding "brick and mortar" projects that contribute to the physical upgrade of their community. Based on staffs analysis of the proposals, resident comments received from prior community meetings, and the continued success of previously funded public service and capital/community improvement projects, it is recommended that the City Council approve the funding of CDBG projects listed on Attachment "B". ALTERNATIVES: Do not approve the staff recommended projects, and select alternative projects for funding. Nevertheless, the County has requested that the City submit it's list of funding recommendations by no later than March 3, 1999, in order to meet their schedule for the 1999-2000 CDBG application submittal to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Failure to submit a list of funding recommendations will delay receipt of federal funds to implement public service and community improvement projects. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The City's allocation of CDB G funds for Fiscal Year 1999-2000 is $368.000. All approved projects are 100% reimbursable from the CDBG Program. 1 on Development Director ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: None at this time. Environmental Assessments are required of all CDBG funded activities prior to implementation. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council approve the funding of Community Development Block Grant (Community Development Block Grant) projects Fisted on Attachment "B" for Fiscal Year 1999-2000, and adopt the attached Resolution, Number Q-1 DRZ/ALS/wm Attachments: Attachments "A" and "B" Letter from County dated January 29, 1999 Resolution
