<br />Public Hearing - CDBG Program FY 06-07 <br />March 7, 2006 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />housing, street improvements, parks and public works improvements, social <br />services, historic preservation and community services. The City's <br />entitlement for fiscal year 2006-2007 will be $ 7, 106,574. No more than <br />fifteen percent of this entitlement may be used for social service <br />programs. <br /> <br />The proposed CDBG program and budget for fiscal year 2006-2007 reflect the <br />culmination of a process that solicited proposals from outside <br />organizations and City agencies for the use of the annual entitlement. <br />Invi tat ions to apply for funds were distributed to 179 organizations in <br />September 2005. Staff then met with the Human Relations Commission (HRC) <br />in its capacity as the CDBG Citizen Advisory Board to review the <br />applications and conduct three public hearings held on January 18, 24, and <br />30, 2006 in the City Council Chambers. <br /> <br />Following the public hearings, staff met again with the HRC to draft a <br />recommended social service program and budget for City Council <br />consideration. The proposed fiscal year 2006-2007 CDBG program and budget <br />(Exhibit 1) consists of the Commission's recommendations for social <br />service funding and staff's funding recommendations for the remainder of <br />the program, including capital proj ects, code enforcement and program <br />administration. The HRC ranking and funding recommendations for the <br />social service programs is also provided (Exhibit 2). The City Council <br />public hearing will provide another opportunity for public input and the <br />completion of the process necessary to submit our locally approved program <br />to HUD. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br /> <br />Approval of the recommended action will authorize the City Manager to <br />submit the approved program to HUD and to execute a grant agreement, which <br />will result in the City's CDBG letter of credit being augmented by <br />$7,106,574. These funds will be available for the approved program <br />effective July 1, 2006. <br /> <br />(i e 011;(. <br /> <br />Patricia C.
