CITY OF CARLSBAD 2000-2001 CDBG/HOME PROGRAM SPECLAL CONDITIONS ON SELECTED PROJECTS The CDBG Advisory Committee and/or City Staff recommend the following speck2 conditions for the distribution of 2000-200 1 CDBG Funding to the projects/programs identified below: North Countv Council on A&P (Project #16). A total of $20,000 was recommended by the CDBG Advisory Committee for a portion of the costs of construction related to expansion of the Brengle Terrace Senior Center within the City of Vista. The expansion would provide for office space for North County Council on Aging. The Committee expressed concern regarding the fact that the organization’s lease was not for a longer period of time. The Committee wanted to ensure that the organization would be permitted to remain in the leased facility for a period of five additional years if the subject funding was to be provided for improvement of a facility owned by the City of Vista. Recommended SpeciuZ Condition: Prior to September 1, 2000, North County Council on Aging (NCCOA) shall obtain a lease from the City of Vista which will allow use of the facility by NCCOA for a specified period of time which shall be no less than five (5) additional years. The funds would not be released unless an executed copy of the subject lease with the minimum five (5) year term is submitted to the City of Carlsbad by September 1,200O. Lifeline Communitv Services (Proiect #lSh A total of $24,526 was recommended by the CDBG Advisory Committee for a portion of the costs to complete tenant improvements (new windows and related improvements) on the existing facility leased by Lifeline Community Services within the City of Vista. The Committee expressed concern regarding the continued improvements of facilities owned by the City of Vista without longer term leases for the non-profit organization. The Committee wanted to ensure that the organization would be permitted to remain in the leased facility for a period of five additional years if the subject funding was to be provided for improvement of a facility owned by the City of Vista. Recommended Special Condition: Prior to September 1, 2000, Lifeline Community Services (LCS) shall obtain a lease from the City of Vista which will allow use of the facility by LCS for a specified period of time which shall be no less than five (5) additional years. The funds would not be released unless an executed copy of the subject lease with the minimum five (5) year term is submitted to the City of Carlsbad by September 1,200O. Bovs and Girls Club of Carlsbad (Proiect #19). A total of $100,000 was recommended by the CDBG Advisory Committee to assist the Boys and Girls Club in purchasing property in the southern portion of the City of Carlsbad for a permanent youth facility. The Boys and Girls Club is currently leasing property for their La Costa Facility. This acquisition will allow for purchase of property for construction of a facility in the Bressi Ranch development. Due to the significant amount of funding proposed for the Boys and Girls Club, staff is recommending that the funding be provided in the form of a no-interest, forgivable deferred loan. Recommended Special Condition: An agreement and related documents shall be executed which will allow for the CDBG funding to be provided as a no-interest, forgivable deferred loan. The term of the loan shall be 20 years from the date of Certificate of Occupancy for the approved youth facility. The principal will be due and payable in full upon sale or transfer of the property, or failure to operate the facility according to its approved permit. PROJECT CONDITIONS - Page 2 Join Hands Save a Life (Proiect #20). A total of $80,000 was recommended by the CDBG Advisory Committee to assist Join Hands in the construction of the approved youth facility for the property located on Roosevelt Street, between Pine and Walnut. The Advisory Committee expressed concerns about the lack of substantial funding for the project from other sources. Construction of the facility is being financed primarily with CDBG funds from the City of Carlsbad. The Committee was also concerned about the lack of progress in spending the previously approved funds (approximately $3 12,000) from the City of Carlsbad. Therefore, the Committee determined that it would be appropriate for the City to provide the additional $80,000 in CDBG funds only if the organization was able to raise an additional $40,000 cash from other sources. This condition, therefore, would require a 50% match. For each dollar raised by Join Hands for the construction of the youth facility and related improvements, the City would provide two dollars in CDBG funds up to a maximum of $80,000. The Advisory Committee also is recommending that a condition be placed on receipt of the additional CDBG funds which requires Join Hands to obtain its building permit for the subject approved facility by no later than September 1, 2000. If Join Hands does not obtain the building permit by September 1, 2000, the additional $80,000 in CDBG funds would not be made available for the project. Recommended Special Condition: Prior to September 1, 2000, Join Hands shall obtain the appropriate building permit(s) required to initiate construction on the approved youth facility. In addition, to receive the additional $80,000 in CDBG funding, Join Hands shall be required to raise funds (cash contributions) from other sources which amount to at least 50% of the funding provided by the City of Carlsbad through the 2000-2001 CDBG Program. For every $1 in cash contributions raised by Join Hands for the costs of construction of the subject youth facility and related improvements, the City shall provide an additional $2 in CDBG funds up to a maximum of $80,000 additional funds in program year 2000-200 1. Staff is recommending that any additional funding provided to Join Hands by the City of Carlsbad be in the form of a no-interest, forgivable deferred loan in the same manner as the previously approved funding of approximately $312,000. The term of any additional loan would be the same as the originally approved loan - 20 years from the date of Certificate of Occupancy of the youth facility. The principal will be due upon sale or transfer of the property, or upon failure to operate the facility according to the approved redevelopment permit and/or CDBG application.
