BILL TITL MTG.415 1R DEPT._..@F D -- RECOMMENDED ACTION: PROJECT SELECTION FOR A',DI'i IWAL NINTH YEAR BLOCK GRANT FU:1IUS DEPT. 1413, 4 - CITY ATTY� CITY MGR.,;�& Adopt Resolution No. .1/ A / recommending additional Ninth Year Community Development Block Grant project inclusion. ITEM EXPLANATION The City is receiving an additional $33,862 for Ninth Year Block Grant. These funds are the result of a change in Federal demographic data for grant distribution. Council now needs to select specific projects for allocation of these additional funds. A complete list of Ninth Year Project Proposals is contained in the attached memo to the City Manager (Exhibit 1). In keeping with program guidelines and past use of funds, staff recommends that the City Council take action notifying the County of its request to obligate these funds as follows: AMOUNT PROJECT $ 23,862 Commercial Rehabilitation Monies $ 10,000 Village Sign Program The _increased cost of a Village Sign Program (original estimate at $2, 600) is needed to accommodate the new parking lots, streetscape projects and aid the economic development of the Village. Staff feels that a signing program is a very cost effective way to have a major impact on the Village Area. FISCAL IMPACT This additional Ninth Year Community Development Block Grant represents an increase of $33,682 in Federal funds for the City. Total Ninth Year allocation is $218,362. $135,000 already allocated ($100,000 streetscape, $85,000 Commercial Rehabilitation) EXHIBITS 1'�- Memo to City Manager dated March 22, 1983. 2- v Resolution No. 7/ p requesting additional project selection for funding under Ninth Year Block Grant Program. EXHIBIT 1 MARCH 22, 1983 TO: CITY MANANGER FROM: Community Redevelopment'Manager ADDITIONAL FUNDS FOR NINTH YEAR BLOCK GRANT The County of San Diego has notified us that we will be receiving an additional $33,862 in Block Grant funds. These additional funds are the result of a change in Federal demographic data for grant distribution and brings our total Ninth Year allocation to $218,862. These funds are an addition to our Ninth Year Block Grant monies and must be treated like other Block Grant funds. Public meetings were held last November requesting public input of project requests. This list of project proposals is attached. $185,000 was already allocated ($100,000 streetscape, $85,000 Commercial Rehabilation). Staff recommends the funds be obligated as follows: Amount Project $ 23,862 Commercial Rehabilitation Monies $ 10,000 Village Sign Program The increased cost of a Village Sign Program (originally estimated at $2,600) is needed to accommodate the new parking lots, streetscape projects and aid the economic development of the Village. A sign program would be highly visible and is a very cost effective way to have a major impact on the Village Area. With the ongoing beautification of downtown, demand is increasing for commercial rehabilitation funds. Both of these projects are compatible with past uses and are highly requested by members of the Downtown Merchant's Association at public meetings. Council will be asked to approve any projects for the additional funding before the County's April 20th deadline. Funds will be available in July. l,— CHRIS SALOMONE /al r' attachment t; k i' t2 CITY OF CARLSBAD EXHIBIT A NINTH YEAR CDBG PROJECT PROPOSALS PROJECT DESCRIPTION APPLICANT AMOUNT ELIGIBILITY BUENA VISTA LAGOON TRAIL Feasibility and design Research & Analysis $10,000 Eligible 1 for phased construction Group of a nature trail along south shore of Buena Vista Lagoon.
