Though still in the initial stages, it promises to become the cornerstone of Federal efforts to assist distressed neighborhoods across America for many years to come. There will be two (2) classifications of awards, Empowerment Zones and Enterprise Communities. The Empowerment Zone designation has the largest grant and realistically they will probably be given to large cities such as New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. However, San Bernardino will be extremely competitive to receive an Enterprise Communities designation process. The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) will award six (6) Urban Empowerment Zones and sixty-five (65) Urban Enterprise Communities grants. In adherence to the application guidelines and community input, staffhas already identified a zone (see attached maps) and verified that it can meet minimum HUD eligibility criteria. HUD has emphasized that this program is quite unlike others with which we may be familillr, Many federal grant opportunities from the past involved relatively narrow and specific goals, such as funding for a storm drain system or playground equipment for a park, or were centered around economic development projects (for example, the City's Urban Development Action Grant for the Westside C Shopping Center). The Empowerment ZoneslEnterprise Communities concept differs from these in two important respects. First, it is as much a social services program as it is an economic development effort. As such, while jobs-producing economic development components will certainly playa role, equally important will be approaches for addressing such matters as crime prevention, adult literacy, job skills training, substance abuse problems, public health, neighborhood beautification, child welfare, housing rehabilitation, school dropout rates, infrastructure improvements and many more such worthwhile endeavors. Secondly, rather than having a narrow focus or goal, this program is very holistic in its approach. The core of the application will be what is known as a "Strategic Plan". In its essence, it will be an interlocking and realistic grouping of solutions to the various problems which underlie the proposed Enterprise Community and which have been formulated by a coalition of concerned citizens and organizations. Effective innovation and leveraging of grant monies will be an important application evaluation criteria. o K1H:JMW:lag:06-O 1-0 l.c:dc COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA MEETING DATE: 06106/1994 Agenda Item Number: 1 o o o DEVELOPMENT DEPAR~ STAFF REPORT 0 Empowerment ZonesIEnterprise Communities Grant Application May 31, 1994 Page Number -2- The Empowerment Zone grant totals one hundred million dollars and the Enterprise Communities grant is substantially less. However, the City of San Bernardino could benefit tremendously from an Enterprise Community designation. The material rewards will include nearly $3 million in Title XX Community Services Block Grant Funds, access to a special category of tax-exempt financing and consideration for special waivers from otherwise onerous Federal requirements. While the programmatic commitment, monitored by the State, will be for ten (10) years, the entire grant will be distributed within the first two (2) years. On April 12, 1994 a "Kick-oft" meeting was conducted for the application effort and hosted by the Mayor and staff. Participants included lay citizens, government administrators, County officials, elected officials, community representatives and the like. Simply stated it was an excellent meeting and exchange of ideas. During the course of the workshop, the participants were divided into discipline groupings to focus on and conduct a "needs assessment" and subsequent "strategy/solutions" for issues or concerns raised. The various discipline groupings consisted of: Economic, Finance and Business Development; Housing and Neighborhoods; Jobs; Health; Public Works; Personal Safety and Law Enforcement; Education and Social Services. Attached for your review and information is a summary of each groups efforts after substantial dialogue and exchange ofideas. The current status of the project is that several community meetings have been held, with the outcome being the development of approximately twelve (12) specific programs/proposals to deal with identified needs in the nominated area. The next step will be to draft a Strategic Plan, which will weave the individual programs/proposals into a coordinated master plan. A unifonn criticism of the program by all potential applicants has been the lack of ample time to adequately develop a comprehensive proposal. Federal application guidelines were made available in March 1994 along with subsequent intennittent revisions. The deadline for submission of the complete package to the State ofCa1ifornia Department of Social Services is June 24, 1994. The State will mail the application to HUD on or before June 30, 1994. Grant awards are anticipated to occur in September 1994 or early fall 1994. This item addresses several requirements of the submission package as follows: A) The state is requiring that all submitting municipalities execute a Nominating Local Governments Responsibilities Agreement (see attached copy). The Agreement provides, among other things, that the City will hold the State harmless from any claims resulting from the State certifYing the City's application, that the City accepts all responsibility for complying with any HUD audit exceptions and KJH:JMW:1ag:06-0l-Ol.cdc COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA MEETING DATE: 06106/1994 7 Agenda Item Number: o o o DEVELOPMENT DEPAR~ STAFF REPORT 0 Empowerment ZonesfEnterprise Communities Grant Application May 31,1994 Page Number -3- that no proposals will be included in the Strategic Plan which will result in increased costs to the State. Essentially, the agreement provides that the City take responsibility for its own program. B) HUD requires a completed form 40003 (see attached copy) as part of the application. This form contains the eligibility information for our nominated area as well as some important certifications on the part of the City. These include assurances that the City conunit to the implementation and execution of the Strategic Plan, that no federal funding that might be received will be used to supplement other funding appropriations affecting the nominated area (e.g., CDBG funds) and that no action will be taken to relocate any existing business establishment to the nominated area. C) HUD also requires that any municipality applying for an Empowerment ZonesIEnterprise Communities designation submit a Strategic Plan, as described above, to comprehensively address the needs of the nominated area. As previously mentioned, the Strategic Plan has yet to be drafted, but the form motion merely asks for the Community Development Commission and Common Council approval to submit the plan. For your reference, the attached excerpt from the Federal Register sets forth the elements to be addressed in the Strategic Plan. D) Staffis asking that the Mayor and Common Council appropriate a minimum of$300,000 annually for the first two years of the program for a total of$600,000. Funds, subject to availability, would come from the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) entitlement as a contribution to the program. Such funding will allow for greater positive impact on the nominated area, raising the level of potential government grant funds to nearly $3,300,000. Perhaps more importantly, a contribution of this magnitude will strengthen our application and demonstrate to HUD that the City is willing to provide some matching funds to those of the federal government. The actual expenditure of these funds would be contingent upon the receipt of a HUD Empowerment ZonesfEnterprise Communities designation.

These include both the downtown and west side communities. Dedicated area residents and organizations have prepared a fine set of programs/proposals for dealing with the most crying needs of the subject area. Staff is preparing to develop a Strategic Plan for coordinating the disparate programs into a harmonious, smoothly-functioning overall approach. The requested actions will authorize the execution and submission of the required documentation and provide a funding commitment which will strengthen the competitive position of the City's application. Also attached for your reference is a copy of a public information document which staff developed called "Commonly Asked Questions About Empowerment Zones and Enterprise Communities". It provides additional detail on the subject federal program. Staff recommends adoption of the fonn motions "A", "B", "C" and "D". o ~ki~'~ KENNETH J. ~NDERSON, Executive Director Development Department o K1H:JMW:lag:06-O 1-0 l.cdc COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA MEETING DATE: 06/06/1994 Agenda Item Number: 7 o o I I I I 10 I I t I I !

What is the Empowerment Zones/Enterprise Conununities program? A. The program is the cornerstone of the Clinton Administration's approach to reducing poverty and blight in America's cities. Q. What are the primary concerns of the program? A. First, a nominated area must meet certain qualifying criteria having to do with population, area, poverty rate and conditions of general distress. Secondly, a "Strategic Plan" must be developed which addresses how poverty will be attacked over a ten year time frame. Both social service delivery and economic development must be significantly enhanced through the program and are of equal importance in the judgement of the quality of the application. Q. What are the four themes of the Strategic Plan? A. 1. Economic Opportunity - job creation, entrepreneurial opportunities, small business expansion and jobs training for upward mobility; 2. Sustainable Community Develqpment - comprehensive approaches that coordinate economic, physical, environmental, community and human development; 3. Community Based Partnerships. wide participation and involvement from the community in shaping the Strategic Plan; 4. Strategic Vision - build on assets, integrate programs, involve individuals as well as institutions, set goals and performance benchmarks and establish a framework for evaluating and adjusting the plan. 1 7 o o o o o Q. What is the difference between an Empowerment Zone and an Enterprise Community? A. There wiD be six urban Empowerment zones and 65 urban Enterprise Communities. The fmancial benefits for Empowerment Zones are far greater, but it is believed that these designations wiD be awarded only to large cities such as Los Angeles, New York or Chicago. However, we believe we wiD be competitive in getting an Enterprise Community designation. Q. What are the benefits of an Enterprise Community designation? A. Each will receive $2.95 million in Title XX Community Services Block Grant Funds, access to a special category of tax-exempt fmancing and consideration for waivers of regulations from various Federal Government agencies. Q. Is this the same as an "Enterprise Zone"? A. No. Although it may, in some respects, resemble Federal, State and local Enterprise Zone concepts from the past, this program is entirely different, new and unique. Q. What are the boundaries of the proposed Enterprise Community? A. In general, Waterman Avenue on the east, Mill Street on the south, Lytle Creek Wash on the west and Highland Avenue on the north. The area takes in most of San Bernardino's downtown and west side neighborhoods. Please refer to the attached map to get a better idea of the area being proposed. Q. What is the size of the proposed area? A. Approximately 8.88 sqnare miles. Q. What is the population of the proposed area? A. Approximately 49,300 persons (a nominated area cannot have a population greater than 50,000). Q. What is the poverty rate of the proposed area? A. The area consists of ten census tracts, with poverty percentage rates as follows: 42. 35%,47.34%,48.37%,49.27%,50.29%,55.44%,56.48%,57.46%, 58. 44% and 59 - 41 %. The poverty rate qualifying formula is complex, but suffice it to say that it is believed that the proposed area easily satisfies the poverty requirements of the application. 2 I o o o o o Q. Where does this information come from? A. The 1990 Decennial Census. Q. Who is sponsoring the application? A. LocaUy, the City of San Bernardino and its Economic Development Agency (Development Department. lead coordinator) are sponsoring the application, but it must also meet with the approval of and be endorsed by the State of California. Q. Who is preparing the application? A. The City of San Bernardino Economic Development Agency has lead responsibility for the preparation of the application. Q. Who is involved in the creation of the application? A. Federal, State and local governmental departments, churches, non-profit organizations, charities, businesses and concerned individuals have aU contributed to the planning that bas thusfar gone into this application. We hope to receive additional citizen input and that is the purpose of this meeting tonight. Q. What are some of the new programs you are developing, to be included in the Strategic Plan? A. Special subcommittees have been formed in the following areas: Economic, Finance and Business Development, Housing and Neighborhoods, Employment, Health, Personal Safety and Law Enforcement, Youth and Community Services and Education. Some of the programs which have been drafted thusfar include neighborhood watch expansion, graffiti removal expansion, citizen's patrol, improving access to health care, expanding child immunizations, child abuse/parenting training, expanded job training, smaU business support systems, a mentoring program for disadvantaged individuals, a roller blade hockey complex for youth and expanded housing rehabilitation programs, to name a few. Q. What are some of the statistics which support our application? 3 'I o o o o o A. We are stiD in the process of gathering the information, but it is believed that the following areas will help to strengthen our ease that the proposed area is truly distressed: unemployment rate, crime statistics, numbers of substandard housing units, percent of personslhouseholds dependent on government assistance, school dropout rates, teen pregnancy rates, numbers of homeless individuals, percent of residences rented versus owned, numbers of child abuse/neglect eases and gang activity statistics, among others, Q. What is the application due date? A. June 10, 1994 to the State of California for endorsement and June 30, 1994 to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for evaluation and designation. Q. In case we are unsuccessful, will there be additional rounds of competition? A. Our guess is there will be. If we are not designated, we'll probably try again in a later round of competition. But in the meantime, we may be able to carry out some of the good ideas generated, although with limited financial resources. Q. What Federal agency will evaluate our application? A. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Q. How can I help or contribute? A. We need your ideas, your knowledge of the area's needs, your insight, your talents and support. Share these with us or help us include them in our strategic plan if appropriate. Q. Whom should I contact for more information? A. Mr. John Wood, Project Manager, or Mr. Joe Garrett, Development Specialist, with the City of San Bernardino Economic Development Agency. They can be reached at (909) 384-5081. 4 7 1 o City 01 San Bamardino Economic Ds1IeIopment Agency DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT o o o o AGENDA E~OWERMENTZONE& ENTERPRISE COMMUNITIES APPLICATION KICK-OFF MEETING APRIL 12, 1994 9:00 a.m. -- 12:00 p.m. L Welcome and Comments: Tom Minor, Mayor of the City of San Bernardino, CA II.

Instructions ftSoPUlatlOn Data iii o The Population Data form is used to demonstrate eligibility of the nominated area. You must demonstrate that 50 percent of the population census tracts/block nwnbering areas have a 35 percent poverty rate. excluding any census tract/block nwnbering area with no population. A 25 percent poverty rate applies to 90 percent of all census tracts I block nwnbering areas. Frnctional percentages of one-half or more must berounded up to the next whole nwnber. For example, if a nominated area has 44 census tracts / block nwnbering areas, 22 census tracts must have a poverty rate of 35 percent or higher. Forty census tracts/block numbering areas (90% x44 = 39.6) must have a poverty rate of25 percent or higher. IF the sample nominated area has three census tracts / block numbering areas with no population (41 populous census tracts / block nwnbering areas). then 21 census tracts/block numbering areas must have a poverty rate of 35 percent or higher and the nwnber at the 25 percent poverty rate stays the same. The number of census tracts / block numbering areas for which an exemption can be requested is up to five populous census tracts / block numbering areas or ten percent of the populous census tracts/block nwnbering areas. A nominated area of 66 populous census tracts / block numbering areas may request an exemption for seven census tracts /block nwnbering areas nominated. A nominated area with 66 census tracts of which four have no population, may request an exemption for six census tracts / block nwnbering areas. The total population of an urban nominated area is ten percent of the population of the most populous city that is in. or partially is in. the nominated area unless it exceeds 200.000. No nominated area can exceed 200,000 and any nominated area can be up to 50.000 in population even if that exceeds the ten percent formula. The maximwn population for a rural nominated area is 30.000. The 1990 Census data specified are the only data sources acceptable to HUD and USDA. All data are for census tract or block numbering area. Calculations cannot be made using the data required for this form and none is needed. Source - 1990 Census Tracts / Block Numbering Areas Outline Maps. 1990 census maps may be ordered by calling the Bureau of the Census at 301-763-4100 to obtain the 1990 CPH-3 Printed Repons and Maps Order Fonn. Use that fonn to order census tract/ block nwnbering area outline maps for states or for metropolitan areas. State Data Centers or a local library may already have the CPH-3 series and maps. The boundaries of the nominated area must include full census tracts or block nwnbering areas. Census tracts and block numbering areas cannot be split. Nominated area boundaries follow census tract and block nwnbering area boundaries. Separate Population Data forms are required in two in- stances. Where a nominated area consists of two or three noncontiguous areas, a separate Population Data fonn must be completed for each of the areas to demonstrate that each noncontiguous area meets the poverty rate test. Where a nominated area is located in more than one county, a separate Population Data form must be completed for each county.
