HomeMy WebLinkAbout02 CDBG FUNDS 95-96 04-03-95NO. 2 4-3-95 ,.,ATE: APRIL 3, 1995 Inter-Corn TO: WILLIAM A. HUSTON, CITY MANAGER FROM: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT SUBJECT: PROPOSED USE OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) FUNDS FOR FISCAL YEAR 1995-96 RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 95-37 approving the proposed use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for inclusion in the proposed Consolidated Plan - Action Plan Fiscal Year 1995-96. FISCAL IMPACT The majority of proposed programs and expenditures will be carried out with CDBG funds. Administration of the CDBG program may require some assistance from existing City personnel. No additional general fund impacts are anticipated. BACKGROUND The federal 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. Grants are awarded to communities to carry out a wide range of community development activities directed toward neighborhood revitalization, economic development, and the provision of improved community facilities and services. In January, we were notified that Tustin would receive $741,000 in CDBG funds for the 1995-96 funding year. However, we have recently been informed that congress is considering a rescission of those previously approved CDBG funds. The current proposal to reduce funding by about 10% must still be passed by the full House and the Senate to take effect. That may never occur; however, if the measure were to pass, the reduction of funds could'be greater or less than the estimated 10%. As a result, recommendations are presented in this report which provide for contingency planning for a possible 10% reduction in funding. City Council Report Proposed Use of CDBG Funds for FY 1995-96 April 3, 1995 Page 2 Eligible Activities Communities are permitted to use CDBG monies to develop their own programs and funding priorities as long as they meet one of the three national obj.ectives. Those objectives are: · Benefiting low and moderate (L/M) income persons. Under federal regulations, low income persOns are~those earning less than 50% of the area median income; moderate income persons are those in the city with incomes of 80% of the area median family income. In 1993, the median income for a family of four in Orange County was $56,500. · Addressing slums or blight, or. Meeting a particularly urgent community development need because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community and other financial resources are not available to meet such needs. Any activity which fails to meet the applicable tests is in noncompliance with CDBG Rules. A® Activities considered to benefit L/M income persons are divided into four categories: Area benefit activities, such as street improvements, water and sewer lines, neighborhood facilities and facade improvements in areas where more than 51% of households have low/moderate incomes. A map is attached as Exhibit 1; Limited or "specific qroup" clientele (abused children, elderly, homeless, battered spouses, etc.) public service activities, such as construction of a senior center, public services (child care, recreation programs, drug abuse counseling, health care), meals for children or elderly, and construction of job training facilities for the handicapped; Housinq activities, such as acquisition of property for permanent housing , rehabilitation of housing and conversion of nonresidential structures into permanent housing; and Job creation or retention activities, such as a business "incubation" program, loans for factory expansion, assistance to a business which, if it fails, will result in a job loss for L/M income persons. City Council Report Proposed Use of CDBG Funds for FY 1995-96 April 3, 1995 Page 3 Bo Ce De Activities considered to address slum and blight must meet all of the following criteria: The area served must be designated and meet a definition of a slum, blighted or deteriorating area, There must be a substan%ial number of deteriorated or deteriorating buildings or public improvements throughout the area, Documentation must be maintained by the City of the boundaries of the area and its condition The activity must address one or more of the conditions which contributed to the deterioration of the area. When establishing what areas of the city are eligible for CDBG monies under the slum and blight criteria, existing Redevelopment Project Area boundaries are used. A map is attached as Exhibit 2. Examples of the types of projects which may be eligible for CDBG funding under slum and blight criteria are: Financial assistance to commercial or industrial business Improvements to public facilities Code Enforcement Historic preservation Demolition of a vacant, deteriorated or abandoned building Activities considered to address particular urgent need must: Pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community; Are of recent origin or have recently become urgent; The grantee (City) is unable to finance on its own; and Other sources of funds'are not available Examples of the types of activities which may be funded with CDBG monies include damage caused by major catastrophes or emergencies such as earthquakes or floods. In addition to the types of projects listed above, CDBG monies may be used for certain planning activities. Eligible activities may include the preparation of: City Council Report Proposed Use of CDBG Funds for FY 1995-96 April 3, 1995 Page 4 Studies Analyses Certain types of plans, such as comprehensive plans, community development plans, capital improvement programs, small area and neighborhood plans, environmental and historic preservation studies and functional plans Identification of actions that will implement plans Ee CDBG funds may also be used to pay reasonable program administration costs related to the planning and execution of community development activities assisted with CDBG monies. However, federal law limits the amount of CDBG funds that may be used for program administration to 20% of the grant award. Program administration costs are limited to the costs of overall program management, coordination, monitoring and evaluation, and to specific activities such as: Citizen participation Assistance in providing performance and payment bonding Development of submissions or application for Federal programs A list of projects funded in previous years is included as Attachment A. FUNDING REQUESTS FOR PUBLIC SERVICE ACTIVITIES Federal law states that no more than 15% of the total grant award to a jurisdiction (15% of $741,000 = $111,150) may be used for public service programs; however, a community could certainly give less than that maximum allowable amount to such programs. There is no requirement that any public/social services be funded. Public services are generally provided by outside non-profit organizations. However, a jurisdiction, itself, may also provide such services. The Community Development Department has compiled a list of public service providers and non-profit organizations expressing an interest in applying for a portion of Tustin's CDBG funds. Staff mailed approximately 70 Request for Funding applications to various private organizations and transmitted applications to all City of Tustin departments. Eighteen (18) completed applications were returned to the City with funding requests totalling $190,120. City Council Report Proposed Use of CDBG Funds for FY 1995-96 April 3, 1995 Page 5 FUNDING REQUESTS FOR NON-PUBLIC SERVICE ACTIVITIES Since federal law allows only a portion of a CDBG grant award to be used for public services, the remainder of the funds must be allocated to other types of activities ($741,000 - $111,150 = $629,850). The Community Development Department notified all city departments that requests for funding for CDBG-eligible non-public service activities were being accepted. EVALUATION OF FUNDING REQUESTS After receiving all the completed applications, an in-house CDBG Project Review Committee evaluated and ranked the funding requests. The Committee was comprised of representatives from each City Department (Community Services, Public works, community Development, Finance, Police) and the Assistant City Manager. The specific criteria used in the ranking process is included as Attachment B. Due to the number of lengthy applications received, staff developed a chart listing all applications received, as well as a summary of each funding request. See Attachment C. Complete applications can be reviewed at Community Development Department offices and will be available at the April 3 meeting. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PROCESS To obtain CDBG funds, a jurisdiction must prepare a "Consolidated Plan," a planning document which identifies overall needs for housing and community development programs, social services and economic opportunities. The Plan also outlines a strategy to meet those needs and identifies resources, such as CDBG monies, to address them. Federal regulations require a jurisdiction to hold at least two public hearings to obtain.the views of citizens on such issues as housing and other community development needs, as well as the use of the CDBG monies. Federal laws relating to CDBG funds also require cities to provide citizens with specific information about the amount of monies expected, and the range of activities that may be undertaken with those funds. As part of the CDBG citizen participation process, the City annually holds a workshop/meeting of the Ad Hoc Citizen Participation Committee, comprised of members of Tustin's standing commissions, boards and committees (Planning Commission, Parks Commission, Cultural Resources Advisory Committee, and Senior Advisory Committee). The Committee acts as a review body and makes recommendations to the City Council on all CDBG funding requests. City Council Report Proposed Use of CDBG Funds for FY 1995-96 April 3, 1995 Page 6 A'meeting of the Ad Hoc Citizen Participation Committee was held on March 16 and continued on March 22, 1995. Prior to the meeting, each Citizen Participation Committee member, as well as each public service/non-profit organization on our mailing list was sent a meeting, notice and agenda. Further the workshop/meeting was noticed in the local newspaper. In advance of the meeting, recommendations of the in-house CDBG Project Review Committee as to funding priorities and amounts were forwarded to the Citizen Participation Committee. The Committee was asked to review and evaluate the suggested funding requests, and make a recommendation to the City Council regarding specific funding priorities and amounts. Top-ranked projects recommended for funding by the Citizen Participation Committee are as follows: Recommended Projects Based on Current Allocation Based on Possible 10% Reduced Allocation Public Service Activities Feedback Foundation, Inc. (Project TLC) Orange Children & Parents Together, Inc - TAFFY Center Pre-school Program (facility and start-up costs) Boys and Girls Club of Tustin - "Branch" BOys and Girls Club at Heideman School Assessment and Treatment Services Center (Youth/family counseling center) City of Tustin Community Services Department - (Operation of Southwest Neighborhood Youth Center) Laurel House (Temporary housing for teenagers in crisis) 13,620 $ 20,000 $ 20,000 $ 17,000 $ 28,000 $ 8,500 $ 13,620 $ 18,000- $ 20,000 $ 15,000 $ 25,415 $ 5,500 City Council Report Proposed Use of CDBG Funds for FY 1995-96 April 3, 1995 Page 7 Mercy House (Transitional living center for women with children) $ 4,030 Subtotal $111,150 Public Facilities and Improvements · Valencia Avenue Preliminary Engineering and Design $150,000 · McFadden Avenue Rehabilitation $150,000 · Mitchell Avenue Widening - Right-of-Way Acquisition $102,000 · Rehabilitation of Southwest Neighborhood Youth Center $ 50,000 Rehabilitation and Preservation Activities · Code Enforcement Support staff for Housing Rehabilitation $ 55,000 Special Economic Development Activities · Rancho Santiago Career Transition Assistance Center at MCAS, Tustin Program Administration Costs · Fair Housing - counseling agency · Master Plan for Park on Base Property · CDBG Program Administration, Cost Recovery, Contingency Total Public Service Projects Total Other Projects Total Grant Award $ 39,000 $ 4,960 $ 35,000 $ 43,890 $111,150 $629,850 $741,000 $ 2,500 $100,035 $130,000 $130,000 $ 91,800 $ 45,000 $ 55,000 $ 35,100 $ 4,960 $ 31,500 $ 43,505 $100,035 $566,865 $666,900 City Council Report Proposed Use of CDBG Funds for FY 1995-96 April 3, 1995 Page 8 The City Council's decision regarding funding requests and priorities will be submitted to HUD in the Consolidated Plan, including a one-year Action Plan detailing our specific use 'of the CDBG funds. The Consolidated Plan is due to HUD on May 15, 1995. Of course, the actual grant funds are contingent upon receipt of funds from HUD. When final approval of proposed projects has been given by HUD, each public service/non-profit organization receiving funds will be asked to enter into agreements with the City requiring compliance with all federal CDBG regulations relating to reporting, auditing, etc. No disbursement of monies can be made to any agency or organization until expenses are incurred and documented to benefit the intended program. CONCLUSION Based on the above analysis, the Citizen Participation Committee recommends that Council support the above-listed projects for the use of Fiscal Year 1995-96 CDBG funds for inclusion into the Action Plan component of the proposed Consolidated Plan. Resolution No. 95-37 has been prepared for Council action. Staff will be available during the publ. ic hearing to make a presentation on the CDBG Program and answer questions about the above-listed recommendations.

Project: Project TLC - Nutrition and supportive services program for the elderly Amount Requested: $13,620 Recommended Funding Amount: $13,620 Summary: The applicant, Shirley Cohen, executive director of Feedback Foundation, Inc., proposes the use of CDBG funds to provide portions of the salaries and benefits of a Kitchen Aide, who helps provide meals at a congregate meal site (the Tustin Area Senior Center), as well as a case worker and driver who work directly with home meal clients. The organization currently receives funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the federal Older Americans Act, as well as private contributions and the City of Tustin CDBG program. The elderly are considered to be low/moderate income persons under federal regulations. According to the applicant, approximately 62 Tustin residents receiving home-delivered meals and 234 residents receiving congregate meals would be benefitted by the project. Staff Review Committee Comments: This program is highly regarded by Community'Services staff. The Staff Review Committee noted that the application was complete, and demonstrated a clear need for this service in the city. The organization has also shown experience in the operation of the program, delivering the service to Tustin residents, and provided a verifiable history of compliance with regulations of the CDBG program and other grant awards. · Name of Organization: Orange County Council on Aging Project: Ombudsman service for the elderly Amount Requested: $2,500 Recommended Funding Amount: Funding not recommended. Community Development Block Grant Attachment C Page 2 · Summary: This organization assists frail and elderly residents of nursing homes and board and care facilities with the as.sertion of their civil, moral and legal rights. The Ombudsman Service conducts weekly to bi- monthly unannounced visits to all Orange County nursing homes and residential care facilities; however, the Tustin CDBG funds requested would be used exclusively for visits/services to nursing and board and care facility residents in the city, representing 478 beds. Essentially, the service costs $5.23 per bed per year. The Ombudsmen Service is the only agency that regularly visits all nursing homes and residential care facilities. According to the application the program is mandated by federal and state governments. Previous years funding sources for the program include State and federal monies, United Way, private contributions and CDBG monies from other cities. The Tustin CDBG monies requested would be used for staff salaries and benefits. Staff Review Committee Comments: While this program provides an important service, the Staff Review Committee noted that the application did not demonstrate a critical need for the program among Tustin residents. Name of OrganiZation: Santa Ana/Tustin Meals on Wheels Project: Meal program Amount Requested: $3,000 Recommended Funding Amount: Funding not recommended. Summary: This program provides two meals per day to homebound elderly in the Santa Ana/Tustin vicinity. Approximately 37 Tustin residents are currently served. Program participants are considered to be low/moderate income.under federal CDBG regulations. In previous years,.the program has been supported by CDBG funds allocated by other cities, private contributions and programs fees. Clients pay $4.50 per day, but meals cost the organization more than $6.00 per day to prepare and deliver. The organization currently has a budget shortfall. Staff Review Committee Comments: In evaluating this application, the Staff Review Committee noted that it is unclear if granting the request for funds would expand Community Development Block Grant Attachment C Page 3 the existing program, or simply pay for a portion of the existing program. Staff also noted that this program duplicates or is similar to the service provided by the Feedback Foundation. Further, the-application did not adequately demonstrate provision of this service to Tustin residents. Child Care/Early Education'Proqrams · Name of Organization: Orange Children Together, Inc. Project: OCPT Head Start .- TAFFY Center Amount Requested: $20,000 Recommended Funding Amount: $20,000 & Parents Summary: The Tustin Acts for Families and Youth (TAFFY) Initiative - is a program funded with grant monies allocated through the Healthy Start Support Services Act (SB 620). The TAFFY program is a cooperative effort to provide affordable preschool and child care, pre- adolescent recreational programs and low-cost pediatric health care services to low/moderate income families in Tustin's southwest neighborhood. A Head Start pre-school program will be one component of the TAFFY Center. The applicant, Sue Ko, Executive Director of Orange Children & Parents Together (OCPT), is requesting CDBG funds for facility rental and utility costs. OCPT is currently operating a Head Start program for 64 children at Lambert School. According to the application, it is hoped that the program will be relocated to the facility at Newport/Sycamore, currently in the process of being acquired by the City. That relocation will enable the number of children served to be expanded. ~. Additional funding sources include Tustin Unified School District, Orange Children & Parents Together, and donations. Healthy Start and Head Start Grants are pending. Staff Review Committee Comments: This highly rated application provided complete information, demonstrated a clear and critical need for the proposed services, and showed a strong ability to fund the project. It is a new program, serving low/moderate income children, to be Community Development Block Grant Attachment C Page 4 established'in coordination with other agencies, such as the Tustin Unified School District. Youth Proqrams and Services · Name of Organization: Boys and Girls Club of Tustin Project: Branch Boys and Girls Club at Heideman School Amount Requested: $20,000 Recommended Funding Amount: $15,000 Summary: The Boys and Girls Club is requesting CDBG monies to continue to staff a "branch" facility with a full-time branch director, and expand the staffing to include a year-round Physical Education Director. According to the application, matching funding will be received from the Amateur Athletic Foundation. In CDBG funding year 1994-95, the City allocated $14,000 to establish a "branch" Boys and Girls Club at Heideman School. It was anticipated that a full--time summer program and an after-school program would be provided. Due to difficulties in securing a facility (building) on the Heideman campus to house the program only a summer program was carried out. The application states that at least 1,000 children would be served in year-round after-school, summer and holiday programs. Specifically, the CDBG funding requested would be used for staff salaries, benefits. Staff Review Committee Comments: With input from the Tustin Police and Community Service Departments, the Staff Review Committee found a critical need for after- school recreation activities in the southwest area of our city. After-school and summertime activities provided by the applicant would target the needs of youth in that -neighborhood. While the Boys and Girls Club is a "membership" organization, no CDBG funds can be used for membership fees. The applicant currently provides a similar recreation service to Tustin youth at the existing Boys and Girls Club facility located on Sixth Street. · Name of Organization: Assessment and Services Center Project: Youth/family counseling center Amount Requested: $20,000 Recommended Funding Amount: $19,530 Treatment Community Development Block Grant Attachment C Page 5 · Sua~nary: The purpose of this organization is to halt anti-social and delinquent behavior in youth and to assist victims of rape, abuse, incest and neglect through professional family counseling. While participation in the program is voluntary, a child's entire family must undergo therapy .together. The applicant anticipates serving approximately 165 Tustin residents. More than half of the families assisted are low/moderate income; approximately 40 percent of clients are abused children. The CDBG funds requested would be used for staff salaries and benefits. Previous years funding sources include the Tustin CDBG program, Tustin Police Department and private fundraising. Staff Review Committee Comments: The Tustin POlice Department frequently refers youth and their families to this organization. The application submitted was strong in all areas demonstrating a critical need for such a program, showing experience in the operation of similar programs and having the financial ability to carry out the proposal. Community Development Department staff experience with the applicant has been very positive. It was felt that additional residents could be served with increased funding. Name of Organization: Community Services Department Project: Southwest Neighborhood Youth Center Amount Requested: $28,000 Recon~mended Funding Amount: $28,000 Summary: The Community Services Department is requesting funding for the operation of a comprehensive recreation program at the Southwest Neighborhood Youth Center. Monies will be used for staff salaries and benefits, as well as supplies. It is anticipated that the center will be open after school, on weekends and during the summer. Staff Review Committee Comments: In evaluating this request, the Staff Review Committee noted that a top community priority has been-the stabilization and improvement of the Southwest Neighborhood. There is a lack of open space and youth recreation opportunities in the area, a predominantly low/moderate income neighborhood. The Staff Review Committee found that there is a critical need for this project in that it is an important component of the'city's comprehensive effort to revitalize the area. Community Development Block Grant Attachment C Page 6 Homeless/Crisis and Emergency Housing Programs · Name of Organization: Olive Crest Homes and Services for Abused Children Project: Malena House - Pilot Recreation Program Amount Requested: $5,000 Recommended Funding Amount: Funding not recommended. Summary: Olive Crest is requesting CDBG funds for a pilot program to allow the boys residing at Malena House, located in the unincorporated area just outside of Tustin, to have membership at a local physical training center (health Club). The program is to help the boys become and remain physically fit. According to the applicant, the Olive Crest orqanization has been in existence for 22 years and include~ 22 group homes and over 50 foster homes. Federal CDBG regulations consider abused children to be low income persons.

Federal regulations for the CDBG program consider the handicapped to be low/moderate income persons. Of the 660 persons anticipated to benefit from the program, approximately 15, or 3%, would be Tustin residents. Previous years funding sources include city CDBG programs, County and State funds, foundations in-kind contributions and fundraisers and donations. The City of Tustin CDBG funds requested would be used for staff salaries and benefits, rent, supplies, insurance, as well as food, facility maintenance and client services. Staff Review Committee Comments: In evaluating this application, staff noted the high level of service provided at a relatively low rate per program participant. While no other request for funding provided a similar service, it was noted that only 3% of program participants would be Tustin residents.

The work will provide horizontal/vertical alignment for the new road, as well as right-of-way needs from Red Hill Avenue, easterly'through Marine Corp Air Station, Tustin, (MCAS, Tustin) to the proposed southerly extension of Tustin Ranch Road. Staff Review Committee Comments: MCAS, Tustin is slated for closure within the next two years. The Staff Review Committee noted it is critical that preliminary engineering work must be initiated now so that when closure occurs, construction of needed infrastructure improvements can proceed.

However, monies were never allocated to the project and the need for it has become critical. There are no curbs or gutters along this section of Mitchell. The project will benefit the low/moderate income residents.~of the area, and the Public Works Department has a demonstrated history of compliance with CDBG grant regulations. 22.

The area. has one of the City's highest residential density rates and a number of social and physical problems, many of which are addressed by other requests for CDBG funds currently being evaluated, as well as through the use of Redevelopment funds.

Name of Organization: Rancho Santiago Community College District (Orange County Education Coalition) Project: MCAS, Tustin - Conversion Planning Grant for the International Learning Village Coalition Amount Requested: $148,500 Recommended Funding Amount: FUnding not recommended. Summary: The Rancho Santiago Community College District is requesting funding to conduct a comprehensive analysis and planning of the conversion of the a ll6-acre portion of MCAS, Tustin to the International Learning Village by the Orange County Education Coalition. The Base property meets the federal criteria for low/moderate income area benefits. According to the application, the International Learning Village is planned to be a multi-cultural village in which the focus will be on individuals as life-long learners from birth through senior adult status. There will be three major components of the village: college Community Development Block Grant Attachment C Page 16 credit offerings, from certificates through graduate degree; alternative work force business enhancement programming; and academic and student support services. In 1995-96, this planning project needs to address 1) full educational program development and implementation, 2) assessment of physical facilities for conversion purposes, and 3) resource development for physical conversion. This proposal is requesting funds to support, in part, these three planning needs. Staff Review Committee Comments: In reviewing this application, it was noted that in the process of converting MCAS, Tustin to civilian uses, such as the Learning Village, comprehensive planning is extremely important. However, federal regulations consider planning activities as "program administrative costs" which are limited to 20% of a jurisdiction's total grant award (20% of $741,000 = $148,200). When considering the costs of other activities to be funded with administrative monies, staff felt it was not feasible to fund this request. 26. Name of Organization: Fair Housing Council of Orange County Project: Housing counseling agency Amount Requested: $4,968 Recommended Funding Amount: $4,960 Summary: The purpose of this organization is to support local, state and federal fair housing laws through a comprehensive dispute resolution program of education, counseling and enforcement. The Council has been funded in previous years through CDBG funds allocated from other Orange County cities. In CDBG funding year 1994-95, Tustin allocated this organization $2,000. Monies requested from the City 'of Tustin represent a proportionate share of the agency's total expenses and would specifically be Used for salaries, benefits, rents and supplies to support pilot fair housing service projects in predominantly low/moderate income areas of Tustin. The applicant states that 350-450 Tustin residents, all of which are low/moderate income, will be served by the program through its responses to housing discrimination allegations, making presentations and distributing information packets about housing rights and Community Development Block Grant Attachment C .Page 17 responsibilities, as well as landlord/tenant and fair housing laws. Staff Review Committee Comments: This service is well used by Tustin's low/moderate income residents and provides a much needed voice for fair housing practices and the resolution of landlord/ tenant disputes. City staff refer regularly Tustin residents to the Council regarding their housing complaints. Further, the City has certified to HUD that it will further fair housing. Providing financial support to this organization would satisfy that obligation. The Staff Review Committee found the organization to be experienced at providing the service proposed and financially able to carry out the program with CDBG monies allocated by a number of area cities. When considering the percentage of Tustin's housing stock that is apartments, staff noted that it is important to contribute to the cost of such as service. 27. Name of Organization: Community Services Department Project: Master Plan for park on Base property Amount Requested: $35,000 Recommended Funding Amount: $35,000 Summary: The Community Services Department is requesting funding for the development of a master plan for the renovation and improvement of existing recreation facilities located on the Marine Base property. The 25- acre site includes two softball fields, three tennis courts, a basketball court, volleyball courts, playground equipment and other facilities. Staff Review Committee Comments: In evaluating this request, the Staff Review Committee noted that planning 'activities for the Base are critical to ensure smooth transition from military to private use. At the time the Base closes, operation of the existing park will become the responsibility of the City. It is important that planning for the facility be completed prior to that time. No other funding source is available for this important planning work. Community Development Block Grant Attachment C Page 18 28. Name of Organization: Community Department Project: CDBG Program Administration Amount Requested: $43,890 Recommended Funding Amount: $43,890 Development Summary: The Community Development Department is requesting funding for administration of the CDBG program. Monies would be used to recover the cost of staff time spent managing day-to-day program activities, program monitoring and attending HUD-sponsored training and informational meetings. It is anticipated that a part-time outside contractor would be hired with these funds, thereby freeing staff time for planning work not related to the CDBG program. These administrative funds would 'also provide a contingency for cost overrun of other programs. Staff Review Committee Comments: The Staff Review Committee noted that federal regulations allow a jurisdiction to allocate up to 20% of its entire grant award to administrative costs ($741,000 x 20% = $148,200). Currently, General Fund monies are used to provide staff to administer Tustin's program; however, since becoming an entitlement city a substantial amount of staff time is required to coordinate, administer and monitor the CDBG program. Staff time has been taken away from other department priorities such as MCAS, Tustin, as well as airport, air quality and other regional issues. The Committee felt it was appropriate to use CDBG funds to recover a portion of those costs. Further, the Committee noted a need to hold a small amount of funds as contingency monies to be used for other administrative costs, such as staff training and program-related publications, as well as unanticipated expenses.
