LAURIN Director RE: 1993-94 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) ALLOCATION Dear Mr. Lewis: We will soon begin our 19th year of implementing a very successful CDBG program for San Bernardino County. As a "Cooperating City" under this program, you are eligible to receive a portion of the County's CDBG allocation for funding eligible projects benefiting your City. Your 1993-94 CDBG allocation will be $280,300. This year we were able to raise your CDBG allocation as a direct result of the increase in funding approved by Congress. CDBG is recognized by Congress as one National program that works. This is due in part to the worthy activities funded by local agencies. We have enclosed the list of the project proposals reporting a benefit to your City. This list reflects the results of our combined project solicitation efforts in December and January. Proposals eligible for CDBG funding are listed on the enclosure titled "Eligible Project Proposals." Further, a copy of each eligible project proposal application is included for your use. We also have listed proposals not eligible for CDBG funding, if any, on the enclosure titled "Ineligible Project Proposals." This latter listing is provided as information only. Previous CDBG restrictions will continue to apply to the 1993-94 allocation. HUD has again limited our funding for public service activities to 15% of the allocation. To meet this requirement, we are setting the same limit on public service funding by each city. The 15% public service limit -for your city is $42,045. For your convenience, we have identified each public service under the "Comments" section on the Eligible Project Proposal list. We also ask that you avoid assigning CDBG funds to administrative proposals. HUD also limits the amount of CDBG funds that we may use on administrative activities. Our costs to carry out the CDBG program are applied to that limit. And, at this time, we expect to use all funds available under the administrative limit. Proposals identified as administrative are noted on the enclosed lists.
