Carlsbad City Council Page 4

Armstrong at the conclusion of this meeting.
PUBLIC HEARING:
105 8. AB #15,950 - REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR THE 2001-2002 CDBGIHOME
PROGRAM.
Frank Boensch, Management Analyst, reviewed the staff report.
Mayor Lewis requested that Council Member Kulchin submit a name to fill the vacancy
of the Southeast Quadrant Representative. He also stated that he would speak with
Mr. Whittaker, Chair of the Senior Commission, concerning a representative.
Mayor Lewis spoke in support of approving the CDBGIHOME Ad Hoc Committee’s
recommendation that the Funding Strategy be revised so that fifty percent of the CDBG
funds not utilized for program administration, Section 108 loan repayment, or public
service activities be specifically designated for affordable housing.
Council Member Kulchin concurred that housing is important, but expressed concern
that the proposed funding strategy would adversely impact the service provided by the
non-profit organizations. Council Member Hall concurred, noting that only a few
requests for affordable housing projects have been received.
Mayor Lewis opened the duly notice public hearing at 6:39 p.m. and asked if anyone
wished to address Council.
Jan Giacinti, 2132 14’h Street, Encinitas, Executive Director of the Boys’ & Girls’ Club of
Carlsbad, spoke of importance of using the CDBG funds for services rather than
affordable housing. She noted that last year, they declined the $100,000.00 loan
because of the contract contained a subordination clause.
Kathleen Wellman, 7144 Aviara Drive, concurred with the previous speaker. She
suggested that Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) be utilized for short-term housing.
Frank Serrano, 3528 Madison, also concurred and said there are too many government
restrictions associated to the CDBG loans.
Seeing no one else wishing to address Council, the Mayor closed the public hearing at
658 p.m.

documents.
ACTION: On a motion by Council Member Nygaard, Council adopted
