DISCUSSION
On May 26 2009 (M&C C-23558) the City Council approved a plan for the use of $1 769 412 00 of
Community Development Block Grant Recovery (CDBG-R) funds from the United States Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the execution of a related Grant Agreement. The City
Council also approved a Substantial Amendment to the City's 2008-2009 Action Plan in order to use the
CDBG-R funds (M&C C-23558) HUD approved the Substantial Amendment to the City's 2008-2009
Action Plan When the Grant Agreement was sent to the City for execution it was discovered that staff
had inadvertently transposed the numbers in the grant amount. In order for the City to appropriate the
correct amount in the executed Grant Agreement, the City Council must adopt a new appropriation
ordinance increasing the amount of CDBG-R funds in the Grants Fund from $1 769 412 00 to
$1 796 412 00
Recommended Use of Funds
City Council previously approved the use of CDBG-R funds for sidewalk infrastructure and administrative
costs. Staff recommends adjusting the existing budget proportionally to the increase in the amount of the
grant funds Therefore the amount previously approved for sidewalk infrastructure improvements will be
increased from $1 592 470 80 to $1 616 770 80 The amount authorized for administration will also be
increased from $176 941.20 to $179 641.20 This represents the ten percent allowed for administration
under the CDBG-R Regulations
Sidewalks will be located in CDBG-eligible areas to benefit low and moderate income and handicapped
City residents
