STAFF REPORT
Transfer and Reprogramming of CDBG Funds
to Handicapped Accessibility Project
Staff has recently been informed by the Public Services Department that
the remaining balance of $8,097.97 associated with the Graffiti Removal
Program (funded in fiscal year 1992-1993 with CDBG funds in the amount
of $124,200) will not be utilized due to the completion of the
program. Furthermore, pursuant to actions taken by the Mayor and
Common Council on July 19, 1993, a total of $23,870.47 was realized as
a result of cancelled CDBG projects and not reprogrammed toward the
purchase of fire equipment. The purchase of the fire equipment
($1,128,113.53) was a crucial part of the process in which staff has
been working to spend CDBG monies in a timely manner.
Together, these unencumbered funds total $31,968.44 ($8,097.97 +
$23,870.47). As a means to expending CDBG funds in a timely and
Judicious manner pursuant to a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) mandate, staff recommends the reprogramming of these
funds to another CDBG project. The 1993-1993 CDBG project -
Handicapped Accessibility (approved but unfunded in the amount of
$75,000) administered by the Public Works Department is an appropriate
project for said funds. The Council has previously directed staff to
identify funds to finance the Public Works Department Handicapped
Accessibility project. The amount recommended ($31,968.44) will allow
the Department of Public Works to commence the project while remaining
funds are identified. At present, staff anticipates potentially
significant savings in previously awarded but not yet completed capital
improvement projects.
On September 2, 1993, the Community Development Citizen Advisory
Committee reviewed this matter and recommended approval to the Mayor
and Common Council.
Based upon the information provided above, staff recommends approval of
the form motion.
