II II . . ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGENCY STAFF REPORT Federal EDA Grant Application - Cl\jon Interc,-:pt Sewer The attached letter from the Economic Development Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce is aformal invitation to submit a final application for a grant of $500,000 to assist in the construction of the Cajon Intercept Sewer. The letter is the result of preliminary information developed by staffand submitted to EDA for evaluation. The County of San Bernardino is supporting the City in this application for EDA grant funds. The sewer project is in Cajon Boulevard and is described by the City's General Plan. The project will construct an intercept trunk sewer line from approximately Little League Drive to the Northern boundary of the City limits. This sewer will allow development to proceed in a significant area of the City that includes the industrial portion ofthe Agency's Northwest Project Area. The sewer will provide services for residential and business users including, notably, the development of businesses (and creation of jobs) in connection with the Calmat project in Lytle Creek. A potential hotel and other business opportunities will be provided for as well. Total cost of the project is estimated at $1,021,000 which means that the federal grant will supply approximately 49% of the cost of the project. The remaining local share of the project cost will come from funds on hand in the City's Sewer Line Construction Fund. The Department of Public Works suggested this project for consideration in late 1992. Both the Departments of Public Works and the Department of Planning have been instrumental in developing information during the pre-application period and are assisting in the preparation of the final grant application. The invitation signals that the grant request appears likely to be granted. However, the invitation is not absolute assurance of success and prompt action is necessary to successfully compete against other applicants. Adoption of the attached resolution will allow the application to be filed with the Seattle Regional Office of ED A as requested in the letter. For the above reasons, staff recommends that the form motion be approved to adopt the attached resolution. /i~~ 'Y ~j~ 7-1 BARBARA J.

This grant will assist the funding of your project proposal to construct the Cajon Intercept Sewer, located in the City of Bernardino, San Bernardino County, California.

The local matching share is $520,987 which will be provided by appropriation from the City of San Bernardino. EDA suggests that the City include a voluntary Employment Plan as a part of the application to help assure that the populations in the City with the highest levels of unemployment, and those most impacted by the recent base closures, are linked with the employment generators which provide the justification for the Federal financial assistance. David Svendsen, Civil Rights Officer in the .Seattle Regional Office is available to assist in this effort. He can be reached at (206) 220-7703. A set of application materials is enclosed.

Application Invitation January 4, 1995 City of San Bernardino Page 2 Application processing begins with a thorough initial review by your Economic Development Representative. If your application is complete, the EDR will forward it to the SRO Public Works Division. The Seattle Regional Office ,will conduct another preliminary review within approximately two weeks of application receipt and notify you of any deficiencies identified. The Seattle Regional Office has limited annual authority to invite public works grant applications. Therefore, our policy allows 120 days from date of receipt of the application in the Regional Office to complete all application deficiencies. If you do not meet this deadline, EDA will deny and return your application, and consider other proposals. This invitation to apply for a grant is not an indication EDA will approve your application. Each year EDA invites applications which collectively exceed available funds. Therefore, your project will be in competition for approval with many other worthwhile projects. . If you have any questions, call your EDR, Charles Oaks, at (818) 583-6831, or Tom Naylor, your Project Officer in Seattle, at (206) 220-7688.
