Anthony A. Dehaesus, Director, Community Development Department, submitted - a report dated February 11 , 1986 (copy attached hereto and by reference incorporated herein) and briefly commented on the allocation system for the County' s Block Grant Program and listed six recommendations on the attached document for the . Board to consider. B. Palmer Riedel, Chairman, Housing and Community Development Advisory Committee, spoke on the work of the Committee in its review of the 74 requests for funds. He noted that the Committee also consi-dered possible Federal budget cuts that would impact on the County' s Community Development Block Grant Program. Mr. Riedel advised that the grant for the 1986-1987 Fiscal Year will be less than the previous year by at least 10%, and could be reduced by 1 million dollars. He transmitted an addendum to the recommen- dations which incorporate funding reduction levels on the list of projects proposed for funds. The Chairman declared the hearing open and the following persons spoke: Joel Lopez, President, Comite Regional Campesino, P.O. Box _21.3, Brentwood 94513, noted that the application submitted by the Comite Regional Campesino for a rural housing program was recommended to receive funds of $55 ,200, an amount much less than the $255 ,0.00 requested. He commented on the needs of the farm workers and urged that consideration be given to increasing the . Comite' s grant award. Abraham Amador, P .O. Box 908 , Oakley, representing the Comite Regional Campesino, also commented on the requests his organization receives for housing assistance for the farm wor--kers and the lack of resources—available to fill these needs. Max Sananabria, 26 Spruce Street, Brentwood, member of the Comite Regional Campesino, requested a higher level of funding for the rural farm workers' housing needs. Fred Franco, P.O. Box 841 , Oakley, representing Spanish speaking residents in East County, also requested addi- .__. tional funds for the.-_Comite .application. Lloyd Madden, 321 Alamo Avenue, Richmond, Executive Director of Neighborhood House of North Richmond, noted that if the County' s Block Grant is reduced more than the anticipated 8%, the Urban Agricultural Project of North Richmond would not receive any funds. He urged the Board to-.. guarantee funding for his project. The Chairman noted that a letter was received from Robert Giese, Director of Building Inspection, advising that the proposed reductions in the Community Development Block Grant Program would have a serious impact on the County' s Housing Rehabilitation Program. Mr. Giese noted that it would not be economical to continue the Neighborhood Preservation Program. All persons desiring to speak having been heard, the Chairman declared the hearing closed. Board members discussed the impacts on the projects recom- mended for funding if the County' s grant is reduced more than the 8% anticipated. They expressed concern that many worthwhile programs would be seriously restricted in their ability to provide services to those groups targeted for assistance under the Community Development Block Grant Program. Supervisor Powers requested the Director of Community Development to provide the Board with a status report in March on the funding situation relative to the Community Development Block Grant Program. He referred to the $75 ,000 allocated for the Block Grant Contingency Fund and expressed an interest in funding 4 alter- native projects from that fund, which would decrease it by $18,200. Supervisor Sunne McPeak advised that she could not support the recommendation because of the possibility that an approved pro- ject might run short of funds, making it necessary to draw from the Contingency Fund. She expressed reservations in reducing the Contingency Fund level to. $57,000. There being no further discussion and on recommendation of Supervisor Powers, the Board took the following actions: 1 . Approved the projects recommended for funding by the Community Development Housing Advisory Committee, with the understanding that the approval includes provision for an 8% reduction to the County' s grant. 2 . Adopted the Proposed Statement of Community Development Objectives and Projected Use of Funds as the Final Statement of Community Development Objectives and Projected Use of Funds including the Addendum. 3• Assured and Certified that the County will comply with the regulations, policies, guidelines and require- ments with respect to the acceptance and use of federal funds for this federally assisted program and including assurances and certify compliance with the attached list of certifications. 4 .

Authorized the Chairman to execute the appropriate documents and transmittal letter for submission to HUD by the Director of Community Development. 6 . Approved transfer of remaining 1984-1985 funds in the Antioch Commercial Rehabilitation Program to the Antioch Promenade Project and authorized the Chairman to sign the agreement with the City of Antioch.
