Information

Referral History:

On February 11, 1997, the Board of Supervisors referred to the Family and Human Services Committee (FHS) the subject of the Public Service Portion of the Community Services Block Grant (CDBG) Program. Therefore, the Department of Conservation and Development reports to FHS at least annually regarding recommendations for the Public Services category and Emergency Solutions Grant funding allocations.

Referral Update:

Please see the attached report from the Conservation and Development Department transmitting the FY 2019/20 (3rd Year) CDBG-Public Service Category and Emergency Solutions Grant funding recommendations. See Exhibits A1 and B1 for matrices summarizing the proposed awards and Exhibit A2 and B2 for details of each project.

Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):

CONSIDER approving the staff funding recommendations for FY 2019/20 (3rd Year) Community Development Block Grant-Public Service Category and Emergency Solutions Grant projects, and directing the Department of Conservation and Development to prepare a staff report for Board of Supervisors consideration.

Fiscal Impact (if any):

Upon approval, grants totaling $759,375 for 33 renewal Public Services projects and $365,063 (reflecting an approximately 20% increase above the requested amount) for 5 renewal and 1 new Emergency Solutions projects that would be recommended to the Board. Grant project totals are aligned with the Board's adopted guidelines for the allocation of CDBG funding.

Staff is also recommending the reallocation of a balance of $101,298 from the Public Service category to the Infrastructure/Public Facilities category.
