The substantial amendment process allows the City to quickly apply for Community Development Block Grant - Recovery (CDBG-R) funds. The City of San Bernardino expects to receive a formula allocation of $951,548 in CDBG-R funds. The grant period will begin on or about July 1,2009 and will end on September 30, 2012. As a Special Appropriation, CDBG-R funds are provided by the federal government as an addition to the regular formula allocation of CDBG funds that the City received for Fiscal Year 2008-2009. The City proposes to utilize its CDBG-R funds in accordance with the project/activity descriptions that follow in Section B. BACKGROUND The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 ("Recovery Act") was signed into law by President Obama on February 17,2009. The Recovery Act awards $1 billion in CDBG Recovery (CDBG-R) funds to be distributed to cities, counties, insular areas and states, of which $10 million has been reserved by the HUD for its administrative costs and $10 million of which will be awarded to Indian tribes. Recipients of the remaining $980 million ofCDBG-R funds will be the approximately 1,200 jurisdictions that received CDBG funding in Fiscal Year 2008. ENSURING RESPONSIBLE SPENDING OF RECOVERY ACT FUNDS Funding available under the Recovery Act has clear purposes - to stimulate the economy through measures that modernize the Nation's infrastructure, improve energy efficiency, and expand educational opportunities and access to health care. HUD strongly urges grantees to use CDBG- R funds for hard development costs associated with infrastructure activities that provide basic services to residents or activities that promote energy efficiency and conservation through rehabilitation or retrofitting of existing buildings. While the full range of CDBG activities is available to grantees, the Department strongly suggests that grantees incorporate consideration of the public perception of the intent of the Recovery Act in identifying and selecting projects for CDBG-R funding. A. SPREADSHEET FOR REPORTING PROPOSED CDBG-R ACTIVITIES Grantees must provide information concerning CDBG-R assisted activities in an electronic spreadsheet provided by HUD. The information that must be reported in the spreadsheet includes activity name, activity description, CDBG-R dollar amount budgeted, eligibility II City of San Bernardino CDBG-R Substantial Amendment category, national objective citation, additional Recovery Act funds for the activity received from other programs, and total activity budget. An electronic copy of the spreadsheet and the format is available on HUD's recovery web site at htto:llwww.hud.gov/recovery. The City of San Bernardino's Spreadsheet for Reporting Proposed CDBG-R Activities can be found at the end ofthis Substantial Amendment document. B. CDBG-R INFORM A T/ON BY ACTIVITY (COMPLETE FOR EACH ACTIVITY) (1) Activity Name: (Grantees should follow the same order that activities are listed in the Spreadsheet for Reporting Proposed CDBG-R Activities - this will allow HUD to easily match actiyity narratives with the information provided in the spreadsheet.) Skate Board Park at Speicher Park (2) Activity Narrative: In addition to the Spreadsheet for Reporting Proposed CDBG-R Activities, grantees must provide a narrative for each activity describing how the use of the grantee's CDBG-R funds will meet the requirements of Title XII of Division A and Section 1602 of ARRA. The grantee's narrative must also state how CDBG-R funds will be used in a manner that maximizes job creation and economic benefit in relation to the CDBG-R funds obligated, and will address the Recovery Act, by: . Preserving and creating jobs and promoting economic recovery; . Assisting those most impacted by the recession; . Providing investment needed to increase economic efficiency; . Investing in transportation, environmental protection, or other infrastructure that will provide long-term economic benefits; . Minimizing or avoiding reductions in essential services; or . Fostering energy independence. Design and construction by the City of San Bernardino of a concrete skate board facility; inclnding riding ramp, restroom, fencing and landscape improvements; at Speicher Park, located at the sontheast corner of Pacific Street and Arden Avenne (1535 Arden Avenne, San Bernardino, CA); for providing a facility that youth in the community need to safely and legally ride skate boards, and to stimulate the local economy through a project that will generate approximately 10 construction jobs and utilize construction materials produced in America. This project has been a high priority community need, but other community development or re-development funding at a sufficient level has not been available to complete the desired improvements. The site has been selected and is immediately available for development. Also, the City of San Bernardino is prepared to bear the on-going maintenance and operation expenses of the skate park. The relative simplicity of this project will allow a quick start-up of construction, resulting in immediate demand for construction workers in the community. 2 - City of San Bernardino CDBG-R Substantial Amendment The construction trades anticipated for this project primarily will be laborers, plumbers, electricians and concrete finishers. These are trades that have been adversely affected by the slow-down of housing and commercial construction due to the recession. Further, these workers will tend to spend their earnings to provide themselves and their families with basic necessities - particularly if they are hired to this project after haviug been laid off or otherwise without work. By providing a place where youth can go to ride their skate boards, the City expects to see a decrease in loitering and vandalism. Giving youth an outlet for their ambitions and energy will both help to develop their potentials and reduce the cost, of destructive behaviors, to themselves, their families and the criminal justice system. Their long-term economic potential will be better realized and society will be able to re-direct its energies and resources to addressing other concerns. (3) Jobs Created: (Report the number of full- and part-time jobs estimated to be created and retained by the activity (including permanent, construction, and temporary jobs)). This project is expected to create or retain approximately ten (10) full time equivalent construction jobs. Other work generated by this project includes grant planning and administration, project planning and design, contract compliance monitoring, construction management, and plan checking and inspection work. (4) Additional Activitv Information: (A description of how the activity will promote energy conservation, smart growth, green building technologies, or reduced pollution emissions, if applicable.) The completed skate park facility will help to reduce pollution emissions by providing a location where skate boarders can gather and ride, rather than riding around in cars in need of physical activity. The exercise they will get from skate boarding will help to develop their strength and coordination. Others who come to the park to observe the riders will benefit from this activity. (5) Responsible Organization: (Contact information for the organization that will implement the CDBG-R activity, including its name, location, and administrator contact information) Jurisdiction( s): www.sbrda.org CDBG-R Contact Person: Lisa Connor Address: City of San Bernardino Economic Development Agency 201 North "E" Street San Bernardino, CA 92401 Telephone: (909) 663-1044 Fax: (909) 888-9413 Email: Iconnorliilsbrda.orl!: City of San Bernardino Jurisdiction Web Address: 3 - City of San Bernardino CDBG-R Substantial Amendment C.
