At this time, the Redevelopment Committee recommended that the allocation be limited to $100,000 in order to monitor the success and need for the program. On May 17, 1999, the Mayor and Common Council further authorized an additional allocation of HOME funds in the amount of $150,000 to WSCDC for the Handyworker Program. --------------------------------------------- Recommended Motion(s): (Mavor and Common Council) MOTION: RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE AN AMENDMENT TO THE HOME AGREEMENT DATED MAY 17, 1999 BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO AND SAN BERNARDINO WEST SIDE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION (WSCDC) INCREASING THE COMPENSATION BY $300,000 AND EXTENDING THE TIME FOR PERFORMANCE - HANDYWORKER GRANT PROGRAM (OWNER OCCUPIED/SINGLE-FAMILY UNITS) Contact Person(s): Gary Van OsdellMaggie Pacheco Project Area( s) Phone: 663-1044 All Ward(s): Supporting Data Attached: I!'I Staff Report I!'I Resolution(s) I!'I Agreement(s)/Contract{s) 0 Map(s) 0 Letter/Memo SIGNATURE: Amount: $ 300,000 Source: Federal HOME Funds IDI8#802010500-597-1999 Budget Authority: #500000000-480-1998 v; 11 rP~ .

Moreover, because there continues to be great demand for the Program, staff is proposing an additional allocation of $300,000 for WSCDC to continue the Program. This will be accomplished by an amendment to the existing Agreement which will continue to require that the grant, per unit, shall not exceed $5,000 (including labor, materials and supervision), with an overhead/administration allowance of fifteen percent (15%). Also, WSCDC must obtain pre-approval of the proposed scope of work from Agency staff and because HOME funds will be utilized, WSCDC will be required to ensure that all health and safety items are repaired prior to allowing any cosmetic type of improvements. The Program is restricted to owner-occupied units with emphasis or priority to seniors, and restricted to households earning less than eighty percent (80%) of median income (i.e., family of 4 may not earn more than $37,750). During the nine (9) month contract period, WSCDC assisted 30 low-income owner occupants with health and safety repairs, such as roofing, electrical, plumbing, painting, etc. Any applicants exceeding the income limits or the scope of the Program will continue to be forwarded to the Agency funded Home Improvement Programs administered by NHS or Jackson Federal Bank (formerly First Federal Savings). Continuation of this Program will assist the City in meeting the number one priority depicted in the City's adopted Consolidated Plan which calls for the preservation and rehabilitation of the City's affordable single-family housing stock. Consequently, staff is recommending an amendment (the "Amendment") to the existing HOME Agreement, specifically amending Section II, Scope of Services/Compensation (A) by $300,000 and Section II, Schedule of Completion of Tasks (2) as provided in the attached Amendment. All other provisions of the May 19, 1999, Agreement will remain in full force and effect. ----------------------------------------------.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ GVO:MP:ssj:lag:02-22-00 WSCDC COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA Meeting Date: 0212212000 Agenda Item Number: ~ Economic Development Agency Staff Report West Side Community Development Corporation February 15,2000 Page Number -2- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FISCAL IMPACT This Amendment will be funded with 1998 and 1999 uncommitted federal HOME funds in the amount of $300,000 (IDIS No. 80201-500-597-1999 & 500000000-480-1998).
