FY 1991/1992 CDBG PROGRAM MIX On January 30, 1992, staff conducted discussions with the City's U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Community Planning and Development Representative regarding the City's FY 1992/1993 CDBG allocation. As a result of this discussion, staff was informed the total grant amount for the upcoming 1992/1993 fiscal year has been increased by nine percent (6.2%) from the current fiscal year to a total of $2,003,000. Because the Program Mix categories are used to solicit proposals from individuals, nonprofit agencies and City departments, it is useful to review the current Program Mix and one from the previous fiscal year: Approved Approved Proposed Cate20rv FY 90/91 FY 91/92 FY 92/93 Public Services $246,963 $281,700 $300,450 (Includes Fair Housing) Capital Improvements $600,173 $772,958 $1,213,950 Rehabilitation Loans/Grants $220,000 $359,742 -0- .

Staff recommends the Mayor and Common Council, as in the past three (3) years, limit grant awards in this category to a maximum of $20,000. .

FY 1991/1992 CDBG PRO~ MIX February 10, 1992 Page Number -2- . Further, staff recommends $1,213,950 for capital improvement and infrastructure projects. In addition to the construction or rehabilitation of various projects, other eligible activities under this category include architectural and engineering services, historic preservation (rehabilitation) and the acquisition and disposition of real property. Historically, City departments have submitted several applications for financial assistance because of General Fund Budget constraints. Over the last five (5) years, the Mayor and Common Council have allocated to this category approximately 3.8 million dollars. Under the Rehabilitation Loan/Grant category, staff recommends no funds be allocated to this category because there is sufficient funding in the revolving loan fund (Program Income) to cover the significant demand and the implementation of sidewalk fill-in and landscape development programs. The amount allocated to the Delmann Heights Water System ($88,000) is the third of five (5) annual installments for the purchase of this water system. Under the Administration category, staff recommends the Mayor and Common Council allocate $400,000 or twenty percent (20X) of the grant which is the maximum level allowed by law. These funds support 4.0 to 4.5 full-time equivalents (FTEs) and finance the overall management and administration of the CDBG program. No funds are being recommended for Demolition, Infill Housing and the Appropriated Reserve for the reasons set forth below: 1. Demolition: The amount remaining in this fund is sufficient to cover anticipated housing projects. 2. Infill Housin2: Financing for infill housing projects now comes from the Department's twenty-Percent (20X) Set-Aside Program. 3. Aoorooriated Reserve: The amount remaining in this fund is sufficient to cover the costs of anticipated projects. Based upon the foregoing, Staff recommends adoption of the form motion.
