T OF 'I'RB CITY OF SAB BBRlURDIRO STAFF REPORT ---erton .1~ent.rv Sr~nol ~dfn. 2eauest On June 1, 1992, the Kayor and Common Council approved and adopted the funding recommendations under the Public Service and Capital Improvement categories for FY 1992/1993 CDBG allocation. At that time, the Kayor and Common Council directed staff to research slternative funding sources for funding the Bmmerton Elementary School proposal. This proposal was not recommended by the Community Development Citizen Advisory Committee because program eligibility for CDBG funds could not be established. Bmmerton Elementary School is in the San Bernardino Unified School district and is located on the border of the cities of San Bernardino and Highland. It is one of thirty-seven (37) elementary schools in the San Bernardino Unified School District. Its attendance boundaries are bordered by Highland Avenue on the north, Baseline Street on the south, Del Rosa Avenue on the west and Victoria Avenue on the east. The Bmmerton Elementary School proposal is a joint effort between the San Bernardino Unified School District and County social, health and juvenile agencies designed to reduce the lost of a sense of community resulting from impoverished living, lack of adequate support systems, and/or the inability by poor children attending Emmerton to access needed services. Because the Emmerton attendance boundaries, which are directly affected by this progr8ll, do not fall within identified low and moderate income census tracts, the CDBG program cannot be utilized to support the proposal. However, the approach to jointly provide services to the identified population of poor individuals within the school's area of influence will increase the number of students who are able to function well in school and achieve healthy, productive and successful lives. The progr811 is designed to address multiple risk factors, which include poverty, high mobility and a lack of sense of community. -------------------------- XJH:AJB:1ag:0827E COIIIISSIOB IlEBrIIG AGDDA Meeting Date: 6/15/1992 IV , Agenda Itea If1aber: , o o o DBVILOPIIIII'r DBPJSDPF DPORr ~rton Bl_tU7 SdJool FaadiDa Request JUDe 9. 1992 pqe Jluaber -2- o Proposed programs to address these risk factors are as follows: 1. Breakfast Club (Students) 2. Well Child Clinic (Community) 3. Literacy Progr.. (ColIIIIIIID.ity) 4. Parenting Program (ColIIIIIIID.ity) 5. After-School Tutorial Program (Students) 6. Recreational Program (Students) The $20,000 funding requested will be added to other pending funding sources derived from the San Bernardino County Economic and Community Development Department. The funds will enable employment of a full time coordinator and secretary Who will be responsible for the day to day administration of multiple program components and the coordination of services with County agencies. The program coordinstor will also be responsible for a core management council. Because the program does not meet federal CDBS eligibility criteria. if the Commission desires to underwrite the proposal, staff has investigated and determined it can be funded by the use of Collateralized Mortgage Obligation funds. The program is expected to substantially benefit the targeted students. It has received outstanding support from the cOlIIIIIIID.ity. Staff recommends adoption of the form motion. -A;~. kecutive Director Developaent Departaent KJB:AJB:1ag:0827E ~SSIO. MBnIIG AGEIIIlA MeetiDa Date: 6/15/1992 1& Agenda Itell Jluaber:
