Contrary to the County's initial estimate that the City of Colton would receive $280,000 (FY 1993-94 Allocation), we have been informed that the City will receive a CDBG Entitlement Allocation in the amount of $345,000 for FY 1994-95. Previous CDBG restrictions will continue to apply for the new fiscal year. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) limits the funding for Public Service projects to 15% of the total allocation. Therefore, our city Public Service limit is $51,750. In addition, for prudent fiscal purposes, a minimum of 10% of the total allocation is recommended to be withheld as a Contingency reserve. Three (3) additional projects that were submitted to the County were found to be not eligible for CDBG funds. Attachment B is a listing of the three (3) projects. Pae 1 of zy 9 3 Item No.
