would represent a significant cost offset to the City of Tustin.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
In March 1991, the former Marine Corps Ak Station (MCAS) Tustin was announced for closure,
providing the City. of Tustin a tremendous opportunity for economic redevelopment but also a
sudden and severe economic impact to the community. Federal OEA planning grants have
provided significant assistance to base closure communities including Tustin. However, OEA grant
approvals also require that the grant recipient provide up to a 25% cash in-kind matching
contribution.

Page 2
The California Trade and Commerce Agency created the CDAM grant program to provide funding
relief to cities and counties negatively impacted by cutbacks in defense spending and military base
closure. Two previous CDAM planning grant approvals totaling $75,500 have offset the City's
OEA grant cash match requirement. The State Trade and Commerce Agency has also approved a
$300,000 CDAM construction grant to offset the City's cash match requirement associated with an
Economic Development Administration 0EDA) grant funded roadway construction project
currently planned at MCAS-Tustin.
The State Trade and Commerce Agency has recently advertised the 1999/2000 CDAM grant
program solicitation. Staff has prepared a planning implementation grant application that requests
that 50% ($118,958) of the City's current $237,916 OEA cash match requirement be offset by the
advertised CDAM grant funds. Submittal of a CDAM grant application requires adoption of a
resolution of the applicant's governing body vesting power to apply for, receive grant funds and
enter into grant agreements and identification of the applicant's signatory authority. Resolution 00-
19 has.been prepared for City Council consideration and action to authorize staff to secure the
subject CDAM grant on behalf of the City of Tustin.
