Staff reported that the CFDA number in AgendaQuick would be used to track grants and that more training would be provided regarding the importance of tracking the items.

Gabriel Lemus , the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program Manager in the Department of Conservation and Development presented a report of staff's funding recommendations for the FY 2017/18, FY 2018/19, and FY 2019/20 Economic Development and Infrastructure/Public Facilities projects. Attendees were invited to speak. Susun Kim from the Family Justice Center expressed her concern regarding the security of future funding and the timing of her project. Supervisor Mitchoff explained that moving money up in the funding process would mean that another project would not be funded. Mr. Lemus explained that there would be an opportunity to request modified funding if monies became available. Susan Shiu from the Contra Costa Childcare Council thanked staff for all the work performed on developing the recommendations. Mr. Lemus acknowledged the good work of all the agencies involved in CDBG. Supervisor Mitchoff asked Kara Douglas, Assistant Deputy Director – Department of Conservation and Development, if the City of Richmond's program was totally incorporated into the County competition process for this funding cycle. Ms. Douglas answered that they were and that the process had worked well for the City. Supervisor Mitchoff approved the recommendations as submitted and directed staff to forward the recommendations to the full Board of Supervisors.
