(Capital Improvement) $30,000.00 -0- (Install elevator to provide handicap access) The City funded Somos Hermanas Unidas with 92/93 Community Development Block Grant funds (20,000.00) for this project. San Bernardino County Economic Community Develop- ment a vises that, unless Somos Hermanas can get the propety owner to enter into a long term lease, this funding cannot be used. The property owner may not opt to do this as it will restrict the use of this property, for ten to fifteen years to specific uses that serve low and moderate Income persons, even if Somos Hermanas Unidas no longer occupies the building. TOTALS $473.555.00 $2249620.00 Most all of the requests for the City's Community Development Block Grant funding were R in the Social Service category. The City may fund any or all of these in very limited amounts; however, in doing so, the amount of funds remaining that can be used for the City's programs, (Grafitti Eradication, Youth Intervention, and Senior Counseling) will be reduced significantly and may result in severe cutbacks in these services which directly benefit E Colton residents. Reduced Community Development Block Grant funding may place even more burden on the City's General Fund, in order to keep these services available to the public. Community Development Block Grant funding, in previous years, has been approximately $180,000 annually. The City did not anticipate receiving $100,000 more this year. Although the recommended amount to be allocated is less than the total grant, staff O requests that consideration be made to allocate the remaining balance ($55,680.00) to the Community Development Block Grant Contingency Fund. Eligible Capital Improvement projects, such as street overlays, curb, gutter, and sidewalk, can be identified and brought before the City Council for funding considaration at a later date.
