Development Department Staff has received a request for financial
assistance for CDBG funds, previoUSly awarded to Hilhway Safety
Lilhting projects from FY 1989/1990 and FY 1990/1991, reapectively.
During FY 1990/1991, Development Department and Public Works staff
determined that projects funded for hilhway safety lilhting aarlinally
met elilibility and national Objective criteria as required by Federal
Relulationa which lovern the use of CDBG funds. Subsequent meetings
with federal Housing and Urban Development (BUD) staff confirmed they
would not approve such projects. Research by staff for alternative
areas of use revealed that Census Tract 72, which has a low and
moderate income population of sixty-six percent (66"), can better meet
the intent of the Housing and COIIIIIUI1ity DeVelopment, as amended.
A total of $273,000 was previously awarded during FY 1989/1990 for
Hilhway Safety Lilhting projects located on Fifth Street from "H"
Street to "F" Street and on "D" Street from 5th Street to Baseline and
on Arrowhead Street from Fifth Street to Baseline Avenue. Another
$342,000 was allocated during FY 1990/1991 for Hilhway Safety Lilhting
projects on "F" Street, "G" .Street and "H" Street between Sixth Street
and Baseline Street. The total for both projects noted above is
$615,000 in CDBG funds.
On December 5, 1991, Staff submitted the substituted projects along
with other projects valued at $540,000, to the Redevelopment Committee
for further review. The Redevelopment Committee reviewed the subject
and various reports wherein staff recommended a continuance of the item
for further exploration and consideration. Durine the course of
discussion, the Committee requested staff to research various issues
and report back to the Committee. The issues were:
1. Staff should contact the City'S BUD representative to determine
BUD's position and a definition on the elilibility and use of CDBG
funds for lilhting projects in the older parts of the City;
2. Clarify the elilibility and use of CDBG funds for curbs, cutters
and sidewalks in the older parts of the City;
3. Staff should contact the Public Works Department and jointly
establish priorities for curbs, lutters and sidewalks in the older
areas of the City; and
4. Determine whether replacement funds are available for street
li&hting projects is funds are repro&rammed.
