CC - Item 2A - Public Hearing Reallocation of CDBG Funds0 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL FROM: BILL CROWE, CITY MANAGER DATE: FEBRUARY 15, 2005 • RE: PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING REALLOCATION OF CDBG FUNDS AND CONSOLIDATED PLAN AMENDMENT FOR FY 2004-2005 Since FY 1994-1995, the City of Rosemead has participated in the federal CDBG program as a direct entitlement entity. In May 2004, the Rosemead City Council approved the CDBG and HOME budget for FY 2004-2005. That budget was based on anticipated costs of projects and anticipated resources. Because 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. The City has approximately $464,410 available for projects. This is made up of funds not expended in the prior year, as well as of approximately $140,000 in program income received by the residential rehabilitation program from loan repayments in FY 2003-2004 and in FY 2004-2005 to date. Loan repayments were primarily triggered by owners refinancing homes to take advantage of lower interest rates. The proposed reallocation changes are as follows: FEB 2 2 2005 ITEM o:o. Z; • A. Proposed CDBG M11-year Reallocation, FY 2004-2005, Increase budget for Residential Rehabilitation from $250,000 to $400,000. Community Development currently has approximately $376,952 in total residential rehabilitation requests for FY 2004-2005 that are ready to move forward, with additional names on the waiting list. Increase budget for Lead Remediation from $80,000 to $150,000. Community Development currently has approximately $100,000 in funding requests for existing residential rehabilitation cases in FY 2004-2005 and additional potential cases from those on the waiting list. • Increase budget for consolidated code from $179,360 to $230,000. The increase would be used to follow up on cases in the Zapopan Target Area. As of February 15, 2005, staff has surveyed the area. Preliminary survey yielded 308 units. 259 property owners have received letters. 12 units had no violations. 136 cases have been resolved. 105 cases are still open. Of those, 97 have received second notices and 26 have received third notices. The balance have requested and received extensions of time. • Cancel pre-award for Virginia Street and fully fund in FY 2004-2005 (no funding change) • Increase funding for San Gabriel Boulevard ADA project from $250,000 to $290,000. Project bid was higher than the engineer's estimate. This will allow the City to complete all ADA curb cuts and driveway ramps in the project and to complete required labor compliance approved by Council. Increase funding for Street Sign Graffiti Prevention from $27,017 to $57,017. The original request for this project was $50,000. The amount was not fully funded during the original budget process because initial estimates of funds available were lower than actuals. Increasing the budget will allow the City to complete almost all signage south of the 1-10. Increase budget for the Rosemead Public Safety Center from $216,230 to $340,000. The increase will allow for the full roof replacement at the proposed Safety Center, as well as allow for contingency costs associated with rehabilitation. The following attachments are included in this report: enforcement Table of Proposed Reallocation Proposed CDBG A-Year Reallocation, FY 2004-2005, RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends, after public testimony, review and after any amendments, that the City Council approve the City's proposed Consolidated Plan Amendment and the Reallocation of CDBG funds for FY 2004-2005 and authorize this as an amendment to the City's Annual Plan. * ~7 Cn CA < r C7 ~7 T Q O O O CD c ~ ~ Cp ~ co ID ~ cn CD (D O- ' P 3 " O cD C N CD p CD Q (Q 3 CD ° cD a CD CD - a Co ~CD v Cm cr v n =r o ° n CD :3 C cr " cn o~ni mr: CD Q `C CCD D O D C CD 0 3 CD CD n .-r ~ S~ EF3 4~ fi4 EA as N Efl N 4P EA N ,1 - N UP ~1 O v CP ~i m v O m O CO O O N O O O O co O O w s 0 0 0 m 0 4 O -I O O O O O 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Efi EA E4 <fl -69 E9 E9 tD w ffl (V A s N A ~4~- cnCO VcnwO N O O Cr O O O 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 O- 0 0 0 0 0 4 O -I O O O O O 6 6 0 0 6 0 0 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 EA E9 Efl A - E9 (A E9 69 - Q) N W A -4 cn al .p co 0 0 O O O A -l O O O 0) O -i -4 O O -9 O .A O O O O O Cl O O O 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 N O O A N O O Ul .D O "O O N A CL 0 0 O 7 m N O O N O O M
