TO: HONORABLE MAYOR
AND MEMBERS
ROSEMEAAD CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BILL CWO-WE, CITY MANAGER
DATE: FEBRUARY 2, 2004
RE: PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING REALLOCATION OF CDBG
FUNDS AND CONSOLIDATED PLAN AMENDMENT FOR FY
2003-2004
Since FY 1994-1995, the City of Rosemead has participated in the federal CDBG
program as a direct entitlement entity. In May 2003, the Rosemead City Council
approved the CDBG and HOME budget for FY 2003-2004. That budget was
based on anticipated costs of projects and anticipated resources.
As the budget was based on preliminary estimates, the City now needs to
reallocate resources based on actual bids and/or revised estimates of costs for
projects. Further, staff proposes to augment funding for several block grant
activities to accommodate additional block grant eligible improvements around
Zapopan Park neighborhood.
This supplemental recommendation is the outgrowth of a request made at a
December 17th neighborhood meeting, at which staff presented residents
information about our on-going community and economic development programs
and strategies. Residents voiced an interest in having more proactive code
enforcement to improve neighborhood conditions. Accordingly, staff recommends
designation of a new code enforcement target area. The proposed Zapopan
Code Enforcement Area would have the following boundaries: San Gabriel
Boulevard on the west, Garvey Avenue on the south, Hellman Avenue on the
north and Walnut Grove Boulevard on the east. Like other city target areas this
neighborhood qualifies as a low-to-moderate income area.
