PROPOSED AMENDMENTS/FUND REALLOCATIONS
The Housing and Community Act of 1974, as amended, created the
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program to return federal
funds to local communities for the purpose of developing viable
urban communities by providing .adequate housing and a suitable
living environment and by expanding economic opportunities,
specifically for low and moderate income persons. Communities are
encouraged to obtain citizen suggestions as to'potential uses for
these funds priOr to their allocation.
A one-year Action Plan detailing the City's use of Fiscal Year
1997-98 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds was
submitted to the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) on May 5, 1997. The Community Development Department is
proPosing to amend that Action Plan by reallocating/redistributing
funds between several previously approved MCAS-Tustin reuse
projects/programs. Proposed amendments are as follows:

ANALYSIS
In receiving CDBG funds, the City agrees to expend monies in a
timely manner. Federal regulations limit the amount of funds that
can be carried over each year from previous years' grants. Failure
to expend prior funding allocated in earlier grant cycles could
jeopardize future year's allocations.
The design and construction of Valencia and Armstrong Avenues
through the Base property and the MCAS-Tustin Marketing Strategy
and Media Plan project are current City priorities. Design of the
roadways is well underway; however, there is a funding short-fall
for the construction. Further, Redevelopment Agency approval is
being sought to authorize staff to enter into an agreement for
consultant services for preparation of the strategic marketing

plan; as with the roadway construction, this project does not yet
have full funding.
The propOsed reallocation of funds from a variety of less active
projects to the Valencia/Armstrong Avenues construction and the
strategic marketing plan activities will off-set portions of the
project budget short-falls and allow CDBG funds to be expended
expeditiously.
