The Committee has recommended that $450,000 in funds available in the Public Facility Improvements/Other Projects category be allocated to Community Housing Works for development of a farm worker housing project and the remaining $27,876 in that category be allocated to the City’s Housing Reserve Fund for future affordable housing uses. The Advisory Committee is also recommending that the City Council place a condition on any funds allocated to the Community Housing Works farm worker housing project that will require the organization to obtain site control for the project by October 1, 2004, or the funds will be reallocated to the Housing Reserve Fund for future affordable housing purposes. The Committee recommends that the $89,550 in public service category funds be used to fund sixteen programs as outlined in Exhibit 2. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council approve the project funding recommendations of the Funding Advisory Committee for the City’s 2003-2004 CDBG Program. FISCAL IMPACT: A total of $687,626 is available for allocation to the City’s 2004-2005 CDBG Program.

Thank you LIZ KRUIDENIER 3005 Cadencia Street Carlsbad, CA 92009 April 19, 2004 To The Mayor and members of the Carlsbad City Council, I shall be unable to attend the City Council meeting on Tuesday, April 20th, but I would like to take this opportunity to encourage you to earmark appropriate ($450, 000 or more) funds for a temporary farmworker 64 bed shelter either from current Community Development Block Grants or the funds at your disposal that come from monies set aside from the sale of agricultural farm lands and are targeted to support farm workers. As a long time supporter of affordable housing I am torn between the needs of farmworkers and those of our citizkns that need more inexpensive places to live. Please address both these acute problems if possible. AGElVDA ITEM # /I C: Mayor City Council City Manager City Attorney City Clerk But if you find that there is only enough money for one group, please support the temporary farmworker shelter first. This population more than any other has been marginalized over the years and has had to endure repeated dislocation. In addition the canyons where they have been forced to find shelter become unsanitary and pollute our nearby streams and lagoons. I am a member of the Carlsbad Watershed Network and we have been as concerned with this ongoing pollution problem in our canyons as you have been and we would welcome a solution that allows for more dignified treatment of our workers as well as a way to decrease the degradation of the environment. The Farmworker Housing Coordinating Committee is mounting a letter writing campaign to try to persuade SDGE to cede access to the the shelter site at Hub Park promised us by the City of Carlsbad. If SDGE continues to remain intransigent in the face of our pleas we shall have to find another area to site this shelter. We are determined to find a resolve this issue. q-\q-oq solution to this deplorable situation and ask for your continued help to CcTo: e;t,c\--4 s55Jc. c43 C\Q& Sincerely, ?%--.e> c\et\L ,/- "-) file://C:V)ocuments%2Oand%2OSettings\mstro.000\Loca1%2OSettings\Temp\GW} 00001 .HTM 04/19/2004 Page 2 of 2 Liz Kruidenier 3005 Cadencia Street ” Carlsbad, CA 92009 [/- d file://C:\Documents%2Oand%2OSettings\mstro.000\Loca1%20Settings\Temp\GW} 0000 1 .HTM 04/19/2004 __ __ _- - AGENDA ITEM # /I C: Mayor City CouncU THELMA I.
