H/RED CITY MGR.a RECOMMENDED ACTION: Hold a public hearing to accept comments on the housing and community development needs of low and moderate income persons within the City of Carlsbad. In addition, the City Council may accept comments on the various proposals which have been submitted for funding under the City of Carlsbad’s 1998-99 Community Development Block Grant/HOME program. ITEM EXPLANATION: Under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, the City of Carlsbad continues to be eligible to receive funding under the federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Entitlement Program to finance projects which serve the identified needs of low and moderate income persons. As a participant in the San Diego Urban County HOME Investment Partnership Consortium, the City will also receive federal HOME funds to provide affordable housing opportunities for lower income households. In identifying the needs of low and moderate income persons, federal regulations require that the City Council “hold at least one public hearing to obtain the views of citizens on the grantee’s (Carlsbad) housing and community development needs.” During the public hearing, the City Council may also solicit comments on specific activities proposed to meet the needs of low and moderate income persons. The City of Carlsbad is entitled to receive an anticipated new CDBG allocation of $606,000 during fiscal year 1998-99. The City also has $32,996.80 in CDBG funds which were allocated in previous years but now need to be reallocated to new projects. These funds include: l $2,910 from a previously approved public service project which was canceled (Family Service Association); l $30,086.80 from the remaining balance for general administration of the CDBG/HOME Program. The total amount of CDBG funds currently available for allocation to eligible projects which meet the needs of low and moderate income persons is $638,996.80. The total amount of HOME funding available for allocation to eligible projects is anticipated to be approximately $210,183. Attached for City Council’s information is the City’s Funding Plan Strategy (Exhibit 1). This Strategy outlines the national objectives and the local objectives established for the Carlsbad CDBG program. Eligible housing activities for the HOME program are also outlined. In response to the City’s “Request for Proposals”, a total of (24) proposals, with $1,085,464 in CDBG funding requests, have been submitted to date for consideration by the City Council. On February 10 and 11, 1998, the CDBG Funding Advisory Committee interviewed each of the organizations/agencies requesting funding. The Committee met on February 19, 1998 to discuss its recommendations, The recommendations of the Committee are attached as Exhibit 2. The Housing Commission met on December 11, 1997 to discuss its recommendations. The recommendations of the Housing Commission are attached as Exhibit 3. A copy of each proposal has been submitted to the Council for review. Copies of the proposals are also available for review by the general public at the City Clerk’s Office (1200 Carlsbad Village Drive) and/or I - - - . .

The chart below summarizes the CDBG/HOME funding available and the maximum amount which can be allocated in each expenditure category: In AMOUNT OF REQUESTED AMOUNT OF AVAILABLE EXPENDITURE CATEGORY FUNDING ($1 FUNDING ($1 Public Services selecting projects for CDBG funding, top priority should be given to developing a well-balanced program which best meets the various public service and public facility needs of low and moderate-income Carlsbad residents. Each eligible proposal submitted was evaluated based upon the following criteria, with a maximum score of 100 points: 1) organization’s ability and capacity; 2) financial ability and stability; 3) benefits and beneficiaries; and 4) ready implementation of program/project. CDBG project proposals were then selected from each of the three local objective categories based upon the proposals’ evaluation score. The chart provided as Exhibit 2 outlines each request for funding received by the City for the 1998-99 CDBG program with an indication of staff’s evaluation score and the CDBG Funding Advisory Committee’s recommendation. In selecting activities for HOME funding, such housing activities must meet the identified needs of low income residents of Carlsbad, as detailed within the City’s Consolidated Plan. Additionally, staff evaluated the recommended housing activity based upon the above referenced criteria. The chart provided as Exhibit 3 outlines the recommended housing activity with an indication of staffs evaluation score, the corresponding Consolidated Plan priority, and the Housing Commission’s funding recommendation. Staff recommends that the City Council accept public comments on the needs of low and moderate income persons and the proposals submitted for funding under the 1998-99 CDBG/HOME program to meet those needs. Then, as a second action, it is recommended that the Council express its intent to approve final project funding allocations at a future City Council meeting. FISCAL IMPACT: The City of Carlsbad will receive an estimated new allocation of $606,000 in CDBG funds for program year 1998-99. An additional $32,996.80 in CDBG funds is also available for reallocation from previously approved, canceled or completed projects. The City may use a maximum of twenty percent (20%) of the new allocation, or $121,200, for administration of the City’s CDBG and HOME program.
