INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
Date: June 21, 2022
To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
Through: Ronald Burton, City Manager
From: Pam Langford, Development Services Manager
RE: P. R. #22608
Introduction:
The intent of this Agenda Item is to seek the City Council's approval of P. R. #22608 for the
2022 Community Development Block Grant(CDBG) allocations for$1,082,136.
Background:
The Department of Housing and Urban Development has allocated $1,082,136 in Community
Development Block funds for Program Year 2022. The Grant funds must benefit low or
moderate-income neighborhoods or households.
The 2022 allocation is a $57,077 decrease from the 2021 allocation of$1,139,213. Public
Service projects are eligible for CDBG funding but, funding for public services activities cannot
exceed 15%of the City's annual allocation($162,320.40).
Staff Recommendation:
The staff has based its funding recommendation on the following criteria:
1. Funding availability
2. Past Performance
3. Number of the person served
4. Priority Needs
A total of seven (7) CDBG public service organizations submitted applications to the Grants
Management division. These same organizations were awarded grant funding in the program
year 2021. Staff recommends funding the organizations at the same level as last year.
The Parks and Recreation Department has requested grant funding to assist with engineering,
design, and construction improvements including sidewalks to the People's Park and the
downtown Pavilion. Staff recommended allocating $147,836 to support Parks efforts to
revitalize City Parks.
Since housing assistance is a high priority for the City, most of the CDBG funds will benefit low
to moderate-income families needing housing assistance or repair.
City Council is responsible for approving final allocations. Staff recommendations are not
absolute but only a guide for the City Council.
Budget Impact:
Community Development Block Grant is the funding source.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that City Council approve P. R. #22608.
