BLOCK GRANT 01-07-02AGENDA REPORT MEETING DATE' , .: NO. 11 01-07-02 TO' FROM' SUBJECT' JANUARY 7, 2002 640-15 WILLIAM HUSTON, CITY MANAGER COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDING PRIORITY FOR FISCAL YEAR 2002-03 SUMMARY Each year the City Council is requested to authorize the use of the City's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to fund public services/nonprofit activities and other City community development projects. This year the City Council is requested to provide input to the staff and Community Development Block Grant Ad Hoc Committee regarding priorities to consider when reviewing funding applications. RECOMMENDATION That the City Council' 1. Prioritize and fund the Graffiti Removal Program, Code Enforcement Staff, and the Tustin Family and Youth Center Recreation Coordinator; and 2. Direct staff and the Ad Hoc Committee to recommend the remaining allocation of funds to other public service providers and City projects. FISCAL IMPACT No City Council action is being requested at this time; therefore, there are no impacts to the General Fund are anticipated. BACKGROUND/OVERVIEW OF CDBG PROGRAM The Federal Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, created the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. The purpose of CDBG program is to return federal funds to local communities for the purpose of developing viable urban communities by providing adequate housing, suitable living environments, and expanding economic opportunities, specifically for Iow- and moderate-incOme persons. Grants are awarded to communities to implement a wide range of community development activities directed toward neighborhood revitalization, economic development, and the provision of improved community facilities and services. CDBG FY 2002-03 Priorities January 7, 2002 Page 2 of 3 Availability of the funding application was advertised in the local newspaper and mailed to over ninety (90) non-profit public service providers and City departments. A list of those organizations receiving applications is included as Attachment 1. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) informed the City that for FY 2002-03 the City will receive $726,000 of CDBG funds. A maximum of 15 percent of that amount, or $108,900, could be awarded to non-profit and public agencies for public service projects; a maximum of 20 percent, or $145,200, could be used for administrative activities including planning and studies. Further, a minimum of 70 percent must be used to benefit Iow- and moderate-income residents. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PROCESS Federal regulations require jurisdictions receiving CDBG funds to provide for and encourage citizens to participate in the process of determining how funds are expended. The steps the City of Tustin has developed to carry out this process are as follows' The City Council provides input to the staff regarding priorities to consider when reviewing funding applications. Staff will coordinate with the in-house Project Review Committee and Citizen Participation Committee. To initiate the Citizen Participation process, Community Development Department staff provides "Request for Funding" applications to over 80 non-profit public service organizations and all City departments. After receiving completed project applications, an in-house CDBG Project Review Committee evaluates and ranks the funding requests. The Committee is comprised of representatives from various City Departments (Community Services, Public Works, Community Development, and the City Manager's office). Funding recommendations of the in-house Project Review Committee are transmitted to a Citizen Participation Committee. The ad hoc Citizen Participation Committee, comprised of members of Tustin's standing commissions, boards and committees (Planning Commission, Parks and Recreation Commission, Cultural Resources Advisory Committee, and Senior Advisory Committee) acts as a citizen review body. The ad hoc Citizen Participation committee holds a meeting to receive public input and evaluate suggested funding requests and makes specific recommendations to the City Council. The City Council will then consider the recommendations and make final approval. The City Council's decision regarding funding requests and priorities is CDBG FY 2002-03 Priorities January 7, 2002 Page 3 of 3 submitted to HUD in the One-Year Action Plan detailing specific use of the CDBG funds. FIVE YEAR PRIORITIES AND OBJECTIVES Attachment 2 depicts the overall Five-year Consolidated Plan goals, objectives and accomplishments. These goals and objectives were set in 2000 as part of the 2000-05 Consolidated Plan. The Council may utilize this table as a guideline in prioritizing needs and activities for FY 2002-03. FISCAL YEAR 2002-03 PRIORITIES Due to General Funds budget shortfall, staff is recommending that the City Council prioritize and recommend the funding of the Graffiti Removal program, Code Enforcement Staff, and Tustin Family Youth Center Recreation Coordinator; and direct staff and the CDBG Ad Hoc Committee to recommend allocation of the remaining funds to other public service providers and City projects. In the past, these activities were partially funded by the General Funds to allow other public service activities to receive full funding. J illkom Associate Planner Elizabeth A.
