Information

Referral History:

The Finance Committee of the Board of Supervisors reviews the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) recommendations under the Economic Development (ED) and Infrastructure/Public Facilities (IPF) categories. County CDBG staff was informed that the Finance Committee meeting scheduled for April 6, 2015 was cancelled.

As an alternative, CDBG staff consulted with IOC staff and Finance Committee staff to see if the IOC could review the CDBG recommendations under the ED and IPF categories. Both IOC and Finance Committee members agreed that this was an allowable and appropriate alternative.

Referral Update:

On December 15, 2014, the Department of Conservation and Development received CDBG applications for FY 2015/16. The attached memo, spreadsheets, and staff reports, contain additional background, summary of staff’s recommendations, and analysis of each application under the ED and IPF categories.

Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):

1. APPROVE recommendations for FY 2015/16 and FY 2016/17 Infrastructure/Public Facilities (IPF) projects as recommended by staff or amended by the Committee.

2. APPROVE recommendations for FY 2015/16 and FY 2016/17 Economic Development (ED) projects as recommended by staff or amended by the Committee.

3. DIRECT the Department of Conservation and Development to prepare a staff report on the Committee’s recommendations. The staff report will be submitted together with funding recommendations for all other CDBG categories for the Board of Supervisors consideration on May 5, 2015.

Fiscal Impact (if any):

No General Fund impact. CDBG funds are provided to the County on a formula allocation basis through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
