and the improvements will enhance the overall aesthetic appearance of the building.
Because of the building’s age and the high level of its use, the restrooms are in need of improvements. To achieve this
goal the Public Works Department recommends the following: replace the restroom partitions in two restrooms;
replace restroom fixtures; paint restroom walls, doors and floor.
The Public Works Department identifies grant funding opportunities to stretch local dollars to provide additional
improvements to the unincorporated communities in the County. The CDBG is intended to develop viable urban
communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment, and by expanding economic
opportunities, principally for low and moderate income persons. The program is authorized under Title 1 of the
Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 and is administered through the United States Department of
Housing and Urban Development.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without authorization the Public Works Department will not have the opportunity to receive CDBG funding for this
project.
