maximum for the City's investment to date. The City has written notice from the County that funding for public services should be to approximately 15% of the total allocation. The City is currently requesting around 20%, for the youth and senior citizen programs. Director Aguilera recommended the following projects based upon notification of additional CDBG funding, and approval of RESOLUTION NO. R-24-91: 1. $104,900 for street improvements (curb, gutter & sidewalk) in census tract 69, south Colton. 2. $40,000 for Graffiti Eradication Program. 3. $20,000 for Senior Outreach Program. 4. $25,000 for Youth Intervention Program. 5. $21,100 for Contingency Fund. Total Allocation: $211,000.00 Open Discussion was held. Council Member Roman inquired if amounts for the Graffiti Progam were much different from last year. Mr. Aguilera responded that the amounts requested were approximately the same. Jacqueline Hoar, 30508 Los Altos Drive, Redlands, Parents Anonymous Coordinator, handed a brochure to each Council Member about the program. A brief presentation was given as to the purpose of the program and the areas of service, Colton, Fontana, Redlands and Highland. CDBG funds are being requested as previous funding from other sources will not be available this year. Ms. Hoar indicated that this program met the criteria for funds as services were provided to people with low to moderate income and services are for the welfare and safety of individuals. One-fourth of the total amount needed to continue the program is being requested from the four cities serviced. One hundred and twelve families had been seen in the last year. If Colton was the only city to approve funds, monies would first be provided to pay the facil- itator for Colton and the rest for operation and overhead. Council Member Roman inquired if the 112 families were from Colton. Ms. Hoar stated that to some extent they are, however, in some cases the number is a duplicate as a person can come in as many times as needed. Rev. Stephen T. Anderson, 820 N. Healing Waters Dr., stated when the requirement for retro -fitting was passed a few weeks ago it was stated that CDBG funds could be used for those who may need assistance in meet- ing the requirement. Mr. Aguilera responded that yes CDBG funds could be made available and because owners have five years to comply, that possibly it could be part of the proposal for next year upon staffs recommendation and Council approval. Another alternative is that staff could come back with an amendment to the resolution as we have $21,000 in the contingency 5 APR 2 .1991
