CITY ATTY. ?)fic CITY MGR.q RECOMMENDED ACTION: - _- Adopt Resolution No. q q H 8 5 approving the projects and funding allocations for the City of Carlsbad’s 1999-2000 Community Development Block Grant/HOME Program and authorizing the Housing and Redevelopment Director to submit the City’s Consolidated Funding Plan Strategy for 1999-2000 to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for final approval. ITEM EXPLANATION: BACKGROUND 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. An initial public hearing to invite comments on the City’s CBDGIHOME Program Consolidated Funding Plan Strategy was held on November 10, 1998. Another public hearing was held on March 2, 1999 to obtain further comments on the Funding Plan Strategy and on the specific proposals submitted for funding through the Carlsbad CDBGIHOME Program. Staff is now requesting that the City Council make the final project selections and funding allocations for the 1999-2000 CDBG/HOME Program. A Consolidated Funding Plan Strategy based on those selections and allocations will be prepared by staff for submittal to HUD for final approval. FUNDING The City of Carlsbad is entitled to receive an anticipated new CDBG allocation of $609,000 during fiscal year 1999-2000. The CDBG Program has $37,103 available for reallocation which was previously allocated to projects that have been completed or canceled. The City has also collected $58,462 from lease payments made by the developer of the Villa Loma affordable housing project, which serve as “program income” to the CDBG Program. The lease payments will be used in conjunction with new CDBG funding allocations to repay the Section 108 loan received by the City for the purchase of the Villa Loma property. The total amount of CDBG funds currently available for allocation to eligible projects which meet the needs of low and moderate income persons is $704,565.66. The total amount of HOME funding available for allocation to eligible projects is anticipated to be approximately $225,811. PROPOSALS The City received 19 proposals from various organizations in response to a Request for Proposals distributed in November of 1998. The proposals were reviewed by the Council-appointed CDBG Funding Advisory Committee and staff prior to interviewing representatives from the organizations on February IS’ and 4th. The Committee then met again on February 10th and agreed upon funding recommendations outlined in Exhibit 2. Page 2 of Agenda Bill # i5, oci2- Following final approval of the funding recommendations of the Advisory Committee, a total of $16,654.66 remained available for allocation to one or more public facility improvement projects. The Committee recommended that the surplus funds be used to increase the Section 108 loan repayment for 1999-2000. The only proposal submitted and eligible for HOME funds is the City’s Single Family Home Rehabilitation Program. The proposal will allow for continued use of HOME funds to issue loans and/or grants for Single Family Home Rehabilitation. The Program is administered by the County of San Diego on behalf of the City for Carlsbad residents. A chart outlining this recommended use of HOME funds is attached as Exhibit 3. The chart below summarizes the funding available and the maximum amount which can be allocated in each expenditure category: RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council accept and approve the project funding recommendations of the CDBG Funding Advisory Committee and staff for the City’s 1999-2000 CDBG/HOME Program and authorize the Housing and Redevelopment Director to prepare and submit a Consolidated Funding Plan Strategy to HUD. For further review, staff has included a copy of the strategy setting the priorities for CDBG allocations. If so desired, the Council may consider changes to the priorities for Program Year 2000 -2001. FISCAL IMPACT: The City of Carlsbad will receive an estimated allocation of $609,000 in CDBG funds for program year 1999-2000. An additional $37,103 in CDBG funds is available for reallocation from previously approved and canceled or completed projects. Lease payments of $58,462 from the developer of the Villa Loma affordable housing project will be used to repay a portion of the Section 108 Loan used for acquisition of the Villa Loma property. The City Council made a previous decision to use the maximum twenty percent (20%) of the new allocation, or $121,800, for 1999-2000 administration of the City’s CDBG program. The Program has no impact on the General Fund. a Page 3 of Agenda Bill # lsp3Q-J As a participant in the San Diego Urban County HOME Investment Partnership Consortium, the City will receive approximately $225,811 to increase affordable housing opportunities in Carlsbad during Program Year 1999-2000.

Mayor City Council City Mamger City Attcmoy my Clcrlr 1 watched, with interest, the council meeting last week. I am especially concerned about the proposed Brother Beno facility on Madison Street, 1 was struck by the fact that there were inconsistencies in the written application and what their representative said at the meeting. 11 was as if when a council member brought up a certain concern he “tailored” his response to please the questioner without regard to what had been said on the application. I am afraid that they believe that all they need to do is say whatever pleases us now and then just do whatever they please when they get in. Further, 1 thought I h’eard them say that only a small portion of the people they serve are Carlsbad residents, Where are the rest coming from and is that what WC really want to do? That is attract the needy and homeless from other areas to our city so that we can “help” them. 1 hope not and 1 urge each of you to take the need of our businesses and the residents of’ Madison and the surrounding areas into consideration rather than the needs of those Brother Beno will attract. Further, do they have a written contract with St, Patricks? If not, don’t they need to have one? If not, if appears that St. Patricks does not really know what the full use of the facility will be any more than the rest of us. How can we agree to something that is so ambiguous?
