S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) reviews the City's progress relative to approved programs, projects and activities. Although varying from year to year, the City has typically funded public services at the maximum allowed and funded the vast majority of its capital improvement projects with CDBG funds. The capital improvement category has consumed anywhere from thirty to fifty percent of our annual grant. Because of the number and cost of these projects, coupled with the time it normally takes to move from design to awarding of actual construction bids, HUD, during the above referenced monitoring visits, has advised Agency staff and implementing city departments that many of the capital projects were not progressing in a timely manner. There is a HUD regulation which stipulates that grantees should have no more than 1.5 times the most recent annual grant in its Letter of Credit with HUD. The City has, from time to time, exceeded this level. In anticipation of a new administration, and partly as a result of President Clinton's efforts to get his economic stimulus package approved by Congress (which included another$2 million in CDBG funds for the City), increasing pressure was placed by HUD on cities and counties to exhaust their Letters of Credit prior to receiving new CDBG monies. For the City of San Bernardino,HUD stipulated the 1.5 Letter of Credit Authority would have to be accomplished by April 30, 1993 or cities and counties risked losing the amount over and above the 1.5 times the annual grant. In recognition and anticipation of the above, staff and the Community Development Citizen Advisory Committee (CDCAC) identified projects that could expend monies allocated by the April 30, 1993 deadline cited. The most significant of these projects was the purchase of badly needed fire equipment for the Fire Department. As a corollary to the project identification process, staff also identified projects where significant savings were realized from projects that came in under budget. Exhibits "A" and "B" list projects which are recommended for cancellation as a result of no activity totalling $646,167.53 and projects coming in under the Engineer's estimate totalling $481,964 respectively. These two numbers added together total $1,128,113.53, the amount awarded by the Mayor and Common Council on May 10, 1993 to purchase the fire equipment referenced to above. It is important to note the funds and projects identified would have been removed from the City's Letter of Credit, effective May 1, 1993, had not the Mayor and Common Council taken the action to fund the Fire Department's request to purchase engine, paramedic, and accessory equipment Based upon the foregoing, staff recommends adoption of the form motion.
