FROM: Phil Batchelor, Executive Director r, U�' County
Dennis M. Barry, AICP, Director of Community Development
DATE: February 13, 2001
SUBJECT: State Jobs/Housing Balance Improvement Program
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
ADOPT Resolution approving an application for funding and a grant agreement for the State
Jobs/Housing Balance Improvement Program.
FISCAL IMPACT
No General Funds are involved. The Redevelopment Agency will provide a 10% match
($10,000) from budgeted funds.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
The Jobs/Housing Balance Improvement Program designed to provide financial incentives to
California cities and counties that desire to attract jobs/economic development into "housing
rich" communities ("housing rich" communities are defined to be communities where fewer
than 1.5 jobs per housing unit exist). The County/Agency application is for the Bay Point
community, which has an estimated 0.2 jobs per housing unit.
The Agency's application is for the maximum $100,000 to complete an economic development
strategic plan (aspects of which have already been generated) and to fund a team to provide
outreach to employers/businesses. Bay Point Redevelopment funds have already been
budgeted for economic development, and will be used to provide the required local match.
The grants are awarded on a competitive basis.
Optimally. the East County jurisdictions would have submitted a joint application for joint
economic development/business attraction and retention activities. Staff would support a
more collaborative approach should the opportunity present itself.
