At the Public Hearing meeting, the Council was informed that staff <br />would return on March 6, 2001, to request additional CDBG funds from the City's <br />Contingency/Unprogrammed Funds Account. The Contingency/Unprogrammed Funds <br />Account has a balance of $226,089.84 of uncommitted funds. One of the CDBG <br />projects funded by the Council on February 201h was the activity, "Child Care Modular <br />Unit -Wilson Elementary School" in the amount of $67,600. The Council will recall that <br />a total of $150,000 is required for the project, therefore, staff is requesting the <br />remaining $82,400 from the Contingency Account. <br />Additionally, the Public Works Department has requested additional funds for two <br />previously approved CDBG street improvement projects. In Fiscal Year 1999-2000, <br />$136,226 was allocated for street improvements on Walters, Monroe, Vermont, Fur, <br />Penn & Miller Streets. An additional $40,000 is being requested for the project. In <br />Fiscal Year 2000-2001, $169,037 was allocated for sidewalk improvements in northeast <br />Colton for Shasta, Scenic, & Sperry Drive, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Virginia, Florence, <br />and Western Avenues. An additional $75,000 is being requested for the project. <br />According to the Public Works Department, the additional funds are needed for both <br />projects due to revised engineer's estimates for construction costs. <br />DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: <br />Predicated on the prior two child care modular units installed at Cooley Ranch and Paul <br />Rogers Elementary Schools, and the modular unit that will be installed at Reche <br />Canyon Elementary School, the proposed child care modular unit at Wilson Elementary <br />School will cost approximately $150,000 as requested. The project, therefore, requires <br />the additional $82,400 that is being recommend from the CDBG Contingency Account. <br />Item #9 <br />
