TO: HONORABLE -MAYOR and CITY COUNCIL Q FOR: Council Meeting of 2 April 1991 �± FROM: Jaime R. Aguilera, Director of Community Development:X�� SUBJECT: Priorty List of the 1991 - 1992 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Projects Per Cooperating Cities Agreement with San Bernardino County. BACKGROUND: At the City Council meeting of March 19, 1991, Council set the Public Hearing for the prioritization of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) project proposal to this meeting. Colton has been allocated approximately $211,000, in CDBG funds from the San D Bernardino County Department of Economic and Community Development (ECD) per Colton's Cooperating Cities Agreement with the County. Of the total amount, 10% of the allocation ($21,100.00) must be withheld for contingencies, leaving $189,900.00 for the City to budget for the 1991 - 1992 fiscal year. Copies of project proposals not previously reviewed by Council are also attached. These proposals were sent to the City from ECD after the original allocation of funds was made in January, 1991. The proposals are Public Service requests and, should Council consider funding one or more of these projects in lieu of the following recommendations, it should be noted that funding of these public services would then cause the allocations to drastically exceed the suggested maximum for Community Development Block Grant funding. Additionally, the County has given the City written notice that funding for public services E should be limited to approximately 15% of the total allocation. The City is requesting around 20%, for the youth and senior citizen programs, now. The attached list of projects is to be reviewed and approved by the County Department of Economic and Community P Development as eligible for CDBG funding. Taking the allocation constraint into considera- tion, and reviewing the proposed projects, staff recommends the following projects and CDBG allocation based upon notification of additional CDBG funding: 1. $104,900 for street improvements (curb, gutter & sidewalk) in census tract 69, O south Colton. 2. $40,000 for Graffiti Eradication Program. p 3. $20,000 for Senior Outreach Program. 4. $25,000 for Youth Intervention Program. s>Lrq FRA1 RECORDS FELE € O. ------------------ �- Agenda Report 9DCCCDBG Page t of 2 -2/
