HUSTON, CITY MANAGER FROM: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT SUBJECT: 1991-92 PROPOSED USE OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDS (17TH YEAR APPLICATION) RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 90-147 approving the 1991-92 application for the proposed use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. BACKGROUND The County of Orange has solicited funding applications for participation in the Urban County's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program for fiscal year 1991-92 (Program Year XVII). The proposed use of CDBG funds will continue to be affected by requirements contained in the Federal Housing and Communities Act of 1974, as amended, including the following: 1. The primary objective that must be met for all CDBG Programs is the development of viable urban communities, including decent housing and suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunity, principally for persons of low and moderate income. 2. Proposed CDBG Programs must give maximum priority to benefitting low to moderate income households and/or in preventing or eliminating slum and blight conditions. The priority test is met only if 60% of total funds provide direct benefit to low and moderate income households. 3. Residential rehabilitation continues to be an eligible activity if the structure is occupied by a low or moderate income household with one or more of the following existing conditions: the structure is substandard; the structure is in an area designated as slum or blighted; or the rehabilitation is necessary to eliminate a specific condition detrimental to public health or safety. 4. The City has designated those areas which meet Federal and State definitions of slum and blight. In order to spend funds outside of target areas, there has to be a concentration of low or moderate income households. (See attached map of target areas). City Council Report 17th Year Application December 3, 1990 Page 2 5. Fifteen percent (15%) of total grant proceeds may be used for the provision of public services subject to major restrictions on the types of eligible public services. 6. Ten percent (10%) of total grant proceeds may be used for general program planning. In addition, each participating City must provide residents an adequate opportunity to be informed of the City's Program and to participate in an advisory role in the City's Program. Since 1982 the City has primarily utilized CDBG funds for residential rehabilitation and capital projects. A summary of performance data on all projects undertaken over the last several years is included as Attachment I. ANALYSIS In preparation of the City's 1991-92 Community Development Block Grant application, staff requested proposals from all City departments and also published a notice inviting citizen participation on the use of the 1991-92 CDBG funds. On November 16, 1990, a Citizen Participation committee met to discuss the proposed projects which were proposed by the various City departments. A citizen's participation meeting is a required element in the process for acquiring Federal funds. The City of Tustin annually invites all commissions and boards to participate as well as a public notice to encourage city-wide .citizen participation. After a detailed review of existing and eligible programs, staff would recommend that the following projects receive funding as part of the City's 1991-92 CDBG Application: 1. Residential Rehabilitation - $100,000 Continuation of the City's participation with Orange County in providing low interest loans and grants for rehabilitation of single family homes, mobile homes and multiple family units. This program is available citywide to low and moderate income households and in slum and blighted areas to eliminate these conditions in the City's target areas. (See Attachment II). 2. Commercial Rehabilitation - $25,000 Continue to offer grants and rebates to businesses in the First Street Specific Plan Area and the Old Town area for Community Development Department City Council Report 17th Year Application December 3, 1990 Page 3 minor exterior repairs and beautification.
