REALLOCA nON OF 2004-2005 AND 2005-2006 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) FUNDS BACKGROUND: The City receives an annual allocation of federal funds for the purpose of implementing and administering Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnership, and Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) Programs. The City is the recipient of these federal funds and the Economic Development Agency functions as the administrator and is responsible for the oversight, implementation, and compliance of said Programs. CDBG funds may be used for a variety of activities that include but are not limited to, acquisition, disposition, public facilities and improvements, street improvements, clearance and demolition activities, public services, relocation expenses, and homeownership assistance. Organizations that receive CDBG funds enter into a contract with the Agency that requires them to expend their allocation by the end of each program year, typically ending June 30th. It has been the Agency's policy not to carryover any unexpended public service funds and Staff has identified these unspent expenditures in order to allocate CDBG funds to other projects that are needed in the community. There are also unspent CDBG funds in construction projects, unspent Section 108 Loan Program funds and unappropriated CDBG funds as identified below: CDBG Funds to be Reallocated From Public Service Funds "F" Street Parking Lot YWCA Renovation Section 1 08 Loan Unappropriated CDBG Funds Administration - EDA CURRENT ISSUE: Program Year 2004/2005 2004 2004 2005 2005 2005 Total: Amount of CDBG funds $16,791 $111,500 $250,000 $500,000 $684,493' $350,000 $1,912,784 In order to facilitate the construction and/or installation of various City and Agency projects and programs, it is recommended that the $1,912,784 be reallocated (see Attachment I).

J,J Economic Development Agency Staff Report CDBG Reallocations Page 2 The Redevelopment Committee recommended that two (2) proposed projects, installation of a traffic signal and construction of a parking lot on "F" Street, be eliminated and that Development Services Department identify other capital improvement resources to fund the traffic signal and that the Agency defer improving the "F" Street property with parking improvements until further development plans for the downtown mixed use plan and the redevelopment of the Carousel Mall have been refined; moreover, the Committee felt that the cost of the parking improvements was excessive. The total amount of CDBG funds for these two (2) proposed projects is $600,000. The Redevelopment Committee recommended that the $600,000 be added to the Demolition Fund and also asked that Code Compliance Director present a City-wide demolition plan to the Committee, which occurred on March 21, 2006. The Redevelopment Committee also recommended that the $13,580 of additional program income also be allocated to the Demolition Fund, bringing the total Demolition Fund to $862,784. Section B of Attachment I lists the Redevelopment Committee's recommendations.

Police Department (Public Safetv) $350,000 This proposed allocation will allow for the hiring of3 police officers, per recommendation of the City Manager. 3. Installation of Traffic Si!!nal (Hi!!hland & Central) $250,000 Per recommendation of Engineering and Police departments, the project consists of installation of a 4-phase traffic signal that has "spread-spectrum" interconnection capability to Orange Street, and signalized main entrance to Patton State Hospital. An analysis of the accident history at this intersection indicates a high frequency of turning accidents that could be reduced by installation of a traffic signal. 4. YWCA Installation of Securitv Fendn!! (Parks and Recreation) $50,000 Installation ofa 6' wrought iron fence located at the east side of the YWCA's main office. This will allow access to the facility via the rear side of the fence, and provide security against vandalism, and potential crime in general. 5. Construction of"Fn Street Parkin!! Lot $350,000 A conceptual plan for a new parking lot was drawn by the Agency and with the assistance of the City's Engineering Department. The "F" Street parking lot will provide an additional 52 parking spaces to serve both the 20-plex Cinema Star and the Historic California Theatre. The design of the parking lot will include landscaping, lighting, handicap spaces, and a decorative pole sign. 6. Reconstruction of Bus Stop on "En Street $50,000 This project consists of the removal of a dirt planter and replacement with flagstone paving, with decorative boulders and two serpentine bus benches. Existing street trees will remain. 7. Reconstruction of East Kin!! Street and street improvements (Meadowbrook Housing Development) $200,000 This project consists of the reconstruction and repaving of an existing street to allow proper surface drainage onto Sierra Way.

These improvements will enhance the quality of the Meadowbrook Housing Development for homebuyers that will purchase homes in this new urban infill project. 8. Demolition Fund $249,204 Due to the decrease of the 2006/2007 CDBO Funding, there will be no allocation of demolition fund for the Code Compliance Department.
