On May 18, 1988, the Mayor am Cammon Council approved COB;; fun:li.r:g of the project which approved am adopted the Community Developrrent citizen Advisory Committee (CDCAC) recormnendation. A letter was sent to the Hispanic 0laJnber on May 26, 1987 requesting that a detailed budget am scope of services be fo=rded to the Community Development Deparbnent so an agreement could be prepared am the project initiated. No response was received to this or a number of future requests for said infonnation. '!he Community Development Deparbnent =ently has a joint powers agreement with the San Bernardino County Deparbnent of Economic and Community Developrrent for a Hispanic 0laJnber project funded in FY 1984/1985, which includes various activities for the education of hispanic business owners. '!he City's portion of this agreement was $45,000.00. CU=ently, the balance in that a=unt is $10,572.00. '!he City has requested quarterly reports from the Hispanic 0laJnber to deteJ:mine the progress of this activity and to date, no response has been received despite written and verbal requests. '!he Cmmty ECO is lead agency for this project and it has indicated that the Hispanic 0laJnber has internal and organizational problems, which are hindering its perfonnance in this contract (84/85). It appears that the apparent internal problems of the Hispanic Chamber prevent it from fully executing its responsibilities under the FY 1987/1988 proposed agreement for $22,285.50 as evidenced by its perfonnance under the FY 1984/1985 agreement with the City and County. Staff recommen:ls that the Mayor and Cammon Council authorize staff to close out the FY 1987/1988 COEG-funded Hispanic 0laJnber project and that funds in the aJOClUI1t of $22,285.50 be transferred to the COB;; Appropriated Reserve Account (contingency).

They could reapply for funding at a later point if project is closed out. ES C.
