ITEM NO. g. z COPIES TO: Planning File
A
Final figures from the Federal Government are expected later this.,
year, so project budgets should be flexible to allow for either
additional funds or reduced funds .
The urban county policies provide that a minimum of $7,689
(approximately 220) of the $35, 141 project funds must be used for
housing rehabilitation projects . If the City applies the
administration funds of $6 , 600 to the public improvement projects,
approximately $34 , 000 would be available for the public improvement
projects .
Over the past three years, the City has received a total of
$104 , 060 in CDBG funds for the Arroyo Vista (Dougherty Road) soundwall
project. In 1989 , the City received a $53,200 advance of CDBG funds
for the soundwall project. The City allocated $39 , 000 of the City' s
1989-90 CDBG funds toward the soundwall project, leaving $14 ,200
( $53,200 - $39 ,000) to come from this year' s CDBG public improvement
funds . After paying back the $14 ,200 fund advance, the City would
have approximately $19 , 800 for other public improvement projects
( $34 , 000 - $14 ,200) . The City Council has the option of selecting the
other public improvement projects . Staff has identified several other
public improvement projects and rough estimates of project costs :
1 ) Dublin Senior Center Kitchen Renovation - $13, 500±
2 ) Dublin Senior Center Floor Replacement - $6 ,300±
3) Arroyo Vista Rain Gutters - $20,000+
Staff recommends that the City Council apply for funding in the
following categories with the understanding that any addition or
reduction in funding is to be divided proportionately between the
housing rehabilitation projects and the public improvement projects :
1) Housing rehabilitation projects :
a) Minor Home Repair Program - $7 , 700
2 ) Public improvement projects :
a) Arroyo Vista (Dougherty Road) Soundwall - $14 ,200
b) Dublin Senior Center Kitchen Renovation - 13,500±

Subject:. CDBG ALLOCATIONS - 1990-1991
SUBMITTAL OF PROJECTS
Dear Larry:
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) project proposals for the 1990-1991
program year are due to the County by February 23, 1990. Attached is a
Project Application Form which must be completed for each project. Although
some of you may have submitted three year proposals when the current
cooperation agreements were executed, proposals must be resubmitted for next
year's projects. A xerox copy with a corrected date and original signature
will suffice after budget figures and other details are checked for accuracy.
The estimated CDBG grant for 1990-91 is $1,558,000. This is based on reports
of cuts up to and possibly exceeding 5% and no anticipated reallocation of
contingency funds. Based on this total and newly adopted allocation policies,
your city's allocation for projects is $35;141 plus admin. of $6;600. $7;689
of the project amount must be used for housing rehabilitation based on the
allocation formula for your jurisdiction. Please give Damien Gossett a call
at 670-5404 to discuss your housing rehabilitation proposals so there can be a
common understanding of production goals and how funding is to be divided
among eligible housing rehabilitation activities.
You will be notified of exact grant figures as soon as they are available. If
you have any questions regarding this process, please contact Berty Gary at
that same phone number.
Sincerely,
John N. Shepherd
