recommendations into three major categories: items that are doable in the first 90

would have a preliminary report for the Council at the next Council meeting.

R38. Public hearing - recommended allocations of 2007/08 Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funds; Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG)
Funds; HOME Funds and Reprogramming of 2006/07 CDBG Funds
Resolution of the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San Bernardino
1) approving the 2007-2008 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
and Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) appropriations and HOME categories;
2) approving the 2007-2008 Consolidated Annual Action Plan; 3) approving
an Amendment to the 2006-2007 Consolidated Annual Action Plan and
authorizing unappropriated CDBG Funds in the amount of $114,000 for the
Police Activities League (PAL) Program and City Recreation Programs; and i
4) authorizing the Mayor to execute and submit to HUD, necessary
documents and take all necessary actions for the execution of any contracts.
Mayor/Chairman Morris opened the hearing.
Maggie Pacheco, Economic Development Agency Executive Director, stated that
this matter deals with the allocation of Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) funds for Fiscal Years 2007/2008; the HOME appropriation, which is
the affordable housing component, and Emergency Shelter funds. With regazd to
CDBG funds for 2007/2008, Ms. Pacheco stated that a total of $3.6 million has
been allocated to the City for the new fiscal year. She stated that the Citizens'
Committee met to discuss the allocation of those funds and Attachment I of the
staff report shows $255,000 being appropriated to non-profit organizations that
provide a vaziety of social services to the community. Attachment II specifically
shows what those non-profits provide to the community.
Ms. Pacheco stated that there were 24 agencies that were selected out of 34
proposals. She stated that seven were not recommended for funding and that the
staff report indicates the reason for non-appropriation. Ms. Pacheco stated that
there is a balance of $3.3 million that remains of CDBG monies for the new fiscal
year and that money is recommended to be appropriated for Code Compliance,
17 04/16/2007
the Section 108 Loan repayment, City Fire Department leases, the National
Development Council, and the Small Business Development Corporation. She
noted that EDA is not appropriating any money for administration of the program
on behalf of the City.
With regard to the HOME Program, Ms. Pacheco stated that this program is
specifically federally-funded for affordable housing programs, which means that
programs that are to be funded with this type of money are for low income to
very low income households, and those funds have historically been used for non-
profit organizations that provide affordable housing such as the transitional
housing program and senior housing developments. She stated that ESG funds
' total $157,301 for the new fiscal year and the Agency is recommending that eight
agencies be funded, which aze noted on Attachment III of the staff report.
Ms. Pacheco stated that it was important to note that when they review and
select these emergency shelter organizations they work in concert with
community action groups to appropriate and leverage the limited emergency
shelter funds. She stated that this yeaz the Agency did receive a decrease in their
emergency shelter funds so there is very little funding available for the number of
organizations that applied.
Ms. Pacheco stated that the last component of the item deals with the
unappropriated 2006/2007 CDBG funds. She stated that at the recommendation
of the City Manager, the Agency is requesting that $114,000 be appropriated for
the Parks and Recreation Program and the PAL Program. She stated that it was
her understanding that those programs have not been completely set up and
implemented, but the City Manager is requesting that they ensure that that money
is available. Ms. Pacheco stated that that means that the $114,000 that was
previously appropriated from the Reserve Fund would come from this funding,
and these are eligible CDBG Programs.
Ms. Pacheco stated that she wanted to point out that all of the Ciry's funding for
the new coming year are appropriated in accordance with the priorities that were
established by the Mayor and Common Council when the Consolidated Plan was
approved. She stated that the Consolidated Plan was distributed as pazt of the
backup and that it will be transmitted to the Federal Government. She stated that
the Plan notes the eight priorities and how we have accomplished those priorities
in the previous fiscal year, which will take us through June 30, 2007.
City Attorney Penman declared a conflict because one of the non-profit chazitable
organizations that is being recommended for funding is the Salvation Army of
which his wife is a member of the Board. He left the Council Chambers and
returned after the vote was taken.
18 04/16/2007
Pamela George, P.O. Box 7808, San Bernazdino, CA, representative for Peoples
Choice Incorporated, stated that she wanted to appeal the ruling of the advisory
committee relative to denied funding for the CDBG grant they had submitted to
expand their youth development program.
Council Member/Commissioner Kelley asked if some of the $114,000 that is
being allocated for the Police Activities League could be allocated to some of
these other organizations that seem to be desperately in need of funds.
Ms. Pacheco stated that the $114,000 could be used for those types of activities if
it is an eligible public service provider and they meet the requirements; however,
she advised the Council that they cannot use more than 15 percent of their CDBG
allocation for public service providers. She stated that historically the Council
has opted to appropriate the sum of no more than $300,000 a year from the
CDBG allocation for public service providers. In the past, Ms. Pacheco stated
that for those organizations that didn't get funding, they have been asked to look
at a reappropriation during the fiscal year.
Council Member/Commissioner Kelley stated that they had a great deal of
discussion on this and be understood that the Council had duected staff to allocate
$114,000 out of the City's reserves to go to these programs and that the funds
were not to be allocated out of CDBG funding.
City Manager Wilson stated that the Council action, which was to transfer the
$114,000 from the reserve, has taken place. He stated that this is simply a way
to free up the General Fund money for another project. '
Council Member/Commissioner Kelley stated that if they took $114,000 out of
the reserve that should have been allocated to the PAL Program, why are they
discussing taking $114,000 out of CDBG when they have organizations
requesting more funding.
Bazbaza Pachon, Director of Finance, stated that on February 20 the Mayor and
Council did approve a motion to transfer $114,000 from the General Fund
Reserve to go towards the PAL Program and Pazks and Recreation. She stated
that if the Council is going to use CDBG funds, they should reverse the other
motion and authorize Finance to put this money back into the reserve.
Council Member/Commissioner Kelley stated that it is his desire to make sure
they're funding as many organizations as they can. He stated that it is also his
desire to make sure that CDBG funds are used for what they were intended to be
used for.
Ms. Pacheco stated that Mr. Wilson is correct in that this provides the Council
with an option to allocate CDBG monies for these two programs instead of
19 04/16/2007
dipping into the reserve fund. She stated that these aze eligible programs under
CDBG and if this body wishes to fund these programs through CDBG, that is
certainly an option, or they can keep their current recommendation to use the
reserve fund. She stated that the staff report indicates that the monies were going
to be earmarked for these programs and not expended until the programs are
ready to be implemented. Ms. Pacheco stated that the money was going to be set
aside predicated on the Council's desire to do that today, and if not, then the
monies would be available for the Agency to reexamine how best to utilize those
funds.
Council Member/Commissioner Derry stated that they need to look at this issue
in a more holistic manner instead of just handing out dollazs every year. He
stated that he would like to see this matter referred back to the RDA Committee
or the Grants Committee so they can determine if this is the direction the City still
wants to go.
Council Member/Commissioner Brinker stated that he would like to expand the
amount of money available through CDBG, keep the $114,000 coming from the
reserve, and make capital investments in non-profits that have needs that can
really benefit the community.
Council Member/Commissioner Estrada cautioned the Council to not overreact to
this because the City only has about one-third of the reserve it should have. She
stated that the Citizens' Advisory Committee is supposed to look at these
applications and give recommendations.
Council Member/Commissioner Derry made a motion, seconded by Council
Member/Commissioner Johnson, that this matter be referred back to the RDA
Committee for further consideration with regard to the total amount to be
allocated by CDBG to the non-profit community through these allocations.
(Note: the vote was taken following further discussion.)
Council Member/Commissioner Kelley made a substitute motion that the motion
made on February 20 should remain and the money should be taken out of the
reserves. (Note: the motion died for lack of a second.)
Council Member/Commissioner Derry stated that he wanted to send the entire
matter back to the RDA Committee for their recommendations.
Council MemberlCommissioner Kelley stated that he would not change his
position.
Council Member/Commissioner McCammack asked staff to provide a complete
list of funding sources for these organizations.
20 04/16!2007
Anna Cox, Chairperson for the Community Development Citizen Advisory
Committee, stated that they were very fortunate to have 34 representative non-
profits come before them, and that they granted funds to 27. She stated that she
was pleased to announce that they did fund four new programs that have never
had any funding from the City before or any other outside funding. She stated
that they spread around their non-profit grants and dealt with all kinds of different
situations. She stated that she was pleased with the success of their committee
this year.
Cheryl Brown, 357.2nd Street, San Bernardino, CA, Vice-chair of First Five for
the County of San Bernardino, stated that if you're funded by First Five and if
you don't have any other grants, you can't get First Five money. She stated that
First Five money generally pays the lion's share, but if you are depending just on
First Five, it won't happen. She stated that it is very important that you have
several funding sources. Ms. Brown stated that this conversation was a good
thing for the community and she is pleased that the Ciry wants to set up a
procedure to make it happen; however, they are already at the end of the process.
She suggested that the Council take this conversation into next yeaz's funding
cycle and come up with some criteria.
Anna Ulibarri, Project Life Impact, 863 N. Mt. View, San Bernazdino, CA,
stated that they are excited to be providing services within the City of San
Bernardino in the First Wazd. She stated that they do have a CAPS Program with
the San Bernardino Schools; however, this funding is not enough.
Mark Davis, CPO for the Boys & Girls Club of San Bernardino, thanked the
Council for their continued support. He stated that City funding continues to
support the programs that deal with career development which is called "Job
Ready" and continues to support their "Power Hour" Programs, which help
youth with their homework when pazents often lack skills to help. It continues to
support funds for youth in higher education. He asked the Council to continue to
support the Boys and Girls Club and the other non-profit agencies that are here
today.
Council Member/Commissioner McCammack stated that since it sounds like there
was a consensus to spend more money on the non-profit public service agencies,
that they ask the committee to go back and ask for the additional $150,000 to
$200,000 and look at what the policy of this Council should be. She stated that
the staff report does say that it's the Mayor and Council's priorities, but she has
never been asked for her priorities on what they should spend CDBG monies on.
Ms. Pacheco stated that they do establish those priorities every year; however,
the Five Year Consolidated Plan was approved by the Mayor and Council last
year. She stated that the priorities have remained consistent for the past seven
years so these priorities are, in fact, from a prior plan approval. She noted that
21 04/16/2007
Attachment I lists the allocation of monies for the new fiscal year as $3.6 million.
Ms. Pacheco stated that discretionary funds for the new fiscal year are $71,471
and are listed under Item No. 6 on Attachment I. She advised the Council that
this is unappropriated money if they wanted to allocate additional funds to the
non-profits or other programs or use it for other City needs. She advised the
Council that those aze the only discretionazy monies they have, the other monies
have been historically appropriated for City Code Enforcement, Fire leases, small
business development, mandatory housing, and the Section 108 Loan. She added
that if the Mayor and Council wish to revisit the manner in which the funds aze
appropriated, they have an established approved citizen participation plan that
they must go back and revisit and rewrite which would then set forth the
pazameters on how they want to allocate their funding.
Ms. Pacheco requested that whatever action was taken tonight that they continue
this public heazing as it is a published heazing and they must transmit the plan to
HUD no later than May 17 in order for the City to be considered for the new year
funding.
Council Member/Commissioner Kelley stated that Ms. Pacheco had explained
what they use the CDBG money for and then mentioned "other City needs." He
asked how the City is currently using that $200,000.
Ms. Pacheco stated that Attachment I gives a full picture of how the money is
being used. She stated that the 15 percent is the maximum amount they could
allocate from the $3.6 million. She stated that there is no requirement that they
must do that-it is a policy choice that this Council makes.
Council Member/Commissioner Kelley stated that just because it is a policy
decision doesn't necessazily mean that they have to use all that money for these
particulaz programs. He stated that they could use the money for "other City
needs" and he asked what kind of City needs would be eligible.
Ms. Pacheco stated that infrastructure, public improvements, City programs,
youth programs, and Pazks and Recreation programs would be eligible. She
stated that there's a variety of programs that they could look at that the City funds
through other means that might be eligible for CDBG. She stated that some cities
use the majority of their money for infrastructure. Ms. Pacheco stated that a
portion of the monies have been committed to Code Compliance for revitalization
of neighborhoods, for Fire leases and for Arden Guthrie. She stated that over the
years the Federal Government has cut back their CDBG funding. At one point in
time they received $4.3 million in CDBG, and for the new fiscal yeaz they are
down to $3.6 million. She stated that every year it has become more and more
difficult to appropriate the funding given the needs of this City.
Council Member/Commissioner Kelley asked Ms. Pacheco for one more example
of "other City needs."
22 04/16/2007
Ms. Pacheco stated that the funds could be used for capital improvements. She
stated that if there is a community facility that needs improvement, they could use
CDBG money for that purpose.
Mayor/Chairman Morris stated that the Federal diminution of the HUD funds for
CDBG has been a concern of mayors across the nation. He stated that mayors
have gone to Congress and the President with a set of ten priorities for America
and its cities and one of those ten priorities is to renew its commitment to CDBG
grants for cities. He stated that this was a Richard Nixon proposal that they
actually moved down to the grass roots level of Federal resources-moved it right
back to the decision makers who actually deal every day with these issues in their
cities and towns. Mayor Morris stated that it was an idea that was embraced in
large measure by administrations since that time, but over the last several years
the diminution of those resources has been substantial.
William Shapiro, 432 N. Arrowhead, San Bernardino, CA, speaking on behalf
of the San Bernardino County Legal Aid Society, stated that he was shocked and
disappointed to find out that their budget had been reduced $3,000 from $13,000
to $10,000. He stated that the Legal Aid Society serves virtually everybody day
in and day out, year in and year out. Mr. Shapiro stated that he was back to
request that their budget be bumped back up to $13,000.
Grover Porter, 355 N. Sierra Way, San Bernazdino, CA, a volunteer attorney
with Legal Aid, asked the City to assist them by providing the funds necessazy to
help the citizens of San Bernardino.
Eliana Phelps, 354 W. 6~' Street, San Bernardino, CA, a volunteer attorney with
Legal Aid, gave an overview of what they do and the kind of people they serve.
Council Member/Commissioner Derry amended his motion, seconded by Council
Member/Commissioner Johnson, that the matter be referred back to the RDA
Committee for further discussion and that the hearing be continued to May 7,
2007.
Council Member/Commissioner Brinker stated that he did not see the $114,000
funding for the PAL on Attachment I. He asked Ms. Pacheco to explain where
that money is.
Ms. Pacheco stated that it is not in there because Attachment I shows how they
are going to expand the proposed 2007/2008 funds. She stated that the $114,000
is from prior CDBG program income and how they azrive at that program income
is that they have some loans that are outstanding and when they get repaid that
money goes back into the CDBG Fund. Ms. Pacheco stated that that's what they
use when they reallocate monies at this time of the year when they are proposing
programs to the Council.
23 04/16/2007
Council Member/Commissioner Brinker asked how much was in that fund.
Ms. Pacheco stated that right now there is $114,000 plus possibly an additional
$100,000, but she couldn't remember the exact number.
Council Member/Commissioner Brinker asked if that meant that if they make the
decision to take the $114,000 out of the reserve fund that they would have
approximately $200,000 in the program income account.
Ms. Pacheco answered in the affirmative.
Council Member/Commissioner Brinker asked if that money would be available if
they decided that they wanted to increase their spending this year?
Ms. Pacheco directed Mr. Brinker to Attachment I. She stated that $71,471 is the
amount that's available. She stated that that would give the Council the discretion
at a later time to allocate monies to a program, project, or an improvement.
Council Member/Commissioner Brinker asked about the $200,000.
Ms. Pacheco stated that that is this year's funding which could be used for public
service providers.
Council Member/Commissioner Brinker asked if that amount would cazry over
and Ms. Pacheco answered in the affirmative.
Council Member/Commissioner Brinker requested clarification that if the RDA
Committee wants to increase their expenditures this year they could use that
$74,000, plus they could use that $200,000 to expand what they're spending.
Ms. Pacheco answered in the affirmative. She stated that the Council would have
the $114,000 if they decided not to appropriate it for the PAL and the recreation
program, plus an additional $100,000 for 2006/2007, which means there is
$214,000 for 2006/2007. In addition, she stated that the Council would have the
$71,471 that is unappropriated at this point in time.
Council Member/Commissioner Brinker stated that he would like the committee
to look at expanding the base using the $74,000 and perhaps some of the
$200,000 to do that; and he added that he supported Mr. Kelley's statement that
the $114,000 should come out of the reserve.
Ms. Pacheco recommended that the Redevelopment Committee consider this
matter on Thursday, April 19, 2007, and that they continue the public hearing to
May 7, 2007.
24 04/16/2007
The amended motion made by Council Member/Commissioner Derry, seconded
by Council Member/Commissioner Johnson, that this matter be referred back to
the RDA Committee for further consideration and that the public heazing be
continued to May 7, 2007, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Council
Members/Commissioners Estrada, Baxter, Brinker, Derry, Kelley, Johnson,
McCammack. Nays: None. Absent: None.
39. Pubflc Comments
Cheryl Brown, 357 2"" Street, San Bernardino, CA, expressed concern about all
the negative things happening in the City and asked the City Council to focus on
the positive things. She recommended that the City pass a resolution naming the
remainder of 2007 and all of 2008 as "The Year of the Youth" in San Bernardino.
Art Guerrero, 1123 Central Avenue, San Bernardino, CA, President of the
Valley View Association, invited the citizens of San Bernazdino to attend their
Cinco de Mayo Health Fair on May 5, 2007, from 1-4 p.m., at Clevinger and
Norman Road.
Toe Ortiz, 387 W. 25'~ Street, San Bernardino, CA, stated that the $200-
$250,000 that was spent on Operation Phoenix for the first six months of the year
would have helped fund the non-profits quite substantially. He stated that The
Sun newspaper's push for additional expensive taxpayer-funded Operation
Phoenix programs is not practical. They take money away from the existing
programs run by the non-profit partners throughout the City. He stated that while
he agrees with the Mayor that they do need to continue the Operation Phoenix
programs, he believes that that strategy should apply to all azeas of the City.
James Tate, 1391 Andreas, San Bernardino, CA, voiced his concerns about Mr.
Baxter's position regarding the Don Imus incident. He stated that he hoped Mr.
Baxter made a public apology to his constituents and that he would remove
himself from any future controversy regarding Don Imus.
Mike Hartley, 3066 Parkside Drive, San Bernardino, CA, spoke regazding the
murder rate in San Bernardino. He stated that the people voted in a general tax
and it was up to the Mayor and Council to use the money where they saw fit as
long as it went into prevention, intervention, and suppression. He stated that the
City has the money now and it needs to do something about it.
James Smith, 1156 E. 24`" Street, San Bernardino, CA, spoke in support of
Council Member Baxter. He stated that the Councilman was put in a very
tenuous position last week and he felt he did a tremendous job for his company.
He stated that he should be corrunended for his outstanding commitment to the
City.
