SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF 1990 COMMUNITY SERVICES BLOCK GRANT REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I . RECOMMENDED ACTION
APPROVE 1990 Community Services Block Grant request for
proposal.
II . FINANCIAL IMPACT
None.
III . CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION
Failure to approve this Board action would result in a delay in
CSBG services to eligible County residents.
IV. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDED ACTION
A review by the Department noted the absence of an annual
competitive process for the distribution of Community Services
Block Grant funds.
As a result, numerous agencies serving the poor in the County
have been denied the opportunity to openly compete in a process
to obtain CSBG funding.
In addition, the traditional allocation process for distribut-
ing CSBG funds has omitted Central County agencies and the poor
they represent.
The Department intends to issue requests for proposals for CSBG
services in the amount of $200,000 .00 on a countywide basis for
the 1990 Calender Year.
