The proposal submittal period was from June 15, 1987 to June 29, 1987, during which time, eighteen (18) proposals were received in response to the request for Public Service projects. The Community Development citizen Advisory Committee met on Thursday, July 9, 1987.

City Attorney; Exec. Assistant, Mayor's Office; Exec. Assistant, Council Office; Community Development Specialist; File ------------------------------------------------------------- On May 5, 1986, the Mayor and Common Council approved CDBG Contingency Account funding in the amount of $44,692 for Project Early Outreach, a drop-out prevention program. Although the program was funded out of proceeds from the Block Grant for a period of six (6) months, staff was not involved in the review and analysis of the funding proposal submitted. Moreover, the Community Development Citizen Advisory Committee did not review said proposal and make a recommendation to the Mayor and Common Council. At the end of six (6) months, the executive director of Project Early Outreach approached Council regarding the continuation of CDBG funding, although the Project had failed to submit a proposal during the FY 1986/1987 supplemental funding round. Because the City had reached the federally- mandated fifteen percent (15%) cap for public service activities under the FY 1986/1987 grant, the program could not be funded from the current CDBG appropriation. The Mayor and Common Council eventually re-appropriated $35,000 in funds from the San Bernardino Unified School District (SBUSD) Stay-In-School Program, a similar drop-out prevention/intervention program, to Project Early Outreach for the months of January through June 1987. On February 2, 1987, the Mayor and Common Council approved the FY 1987/1988 CDBG Program Mix and authorized staff to solicit funding proposals. The proposal submission deadline was March 3, 1987. Although many proposals were received, Project Early Outreach did not submit a request for financial A~wt~ r~ f" , ";1'1 INTEROFFICE Provisional Outreach March 18, 1987 Page 2 MEMORANDUM: Educational '- 8703-1118 Services, '-,' " .I , Inc.

This particular program provides a valuable service to the community. However, the CDBG program provides virtually one- hundred percent (100%) of its funding, a not very desirable situation that makes it very existence dependent upon the City. Having already received $79,692 in CDBG funds for a program that has the same basic goals and objectives of the SBUSD Stay-in-School program (a program that received $100,000 in CDBG funds), I do not believe the City can continue to support both programs in view of their similarity, the continuing high demand for CDBG assistance, the amount of funding already made available to this parti- cular activity ($179,692) and the restrictions on public service activities. Furthermore, the SBUSD Stay-in-School program is a four (4) year program with an integral evaluation component. I recommend future funding decisions relating to the drop-out prevention/intervention activity be deferred until such time as preliminary data is available from the school district regarding the effectiveness of the program in accomplishing stated goals and objectives. The above recommendation, if accepted by the Mayor and Common Council, would affect the Project Early Outreach and SBUSD Stay-in-School programs and any other individual or organization applying for CDBG funds to finance in whole or in part a drop-out prevention/inter- vention activity. call me at 5065 if you have any questions or clarifi- is required. ~:~b of Community Development KJH/lab
