March 14, 1986
On March 12, 1986 the Housing and Community Development Advisory Committee met to
discuss new information affecting next years budget. In addition to the cut of
$322,150, the Committee reviewed the Housing Rehabilitation Program's funding needs,
the dangerously low contingency, pending contingency requests ($80,000) , and the slow
progress of the Economic Development Loan Program.
The Committee determined that the only equitable way of addressing the problems posed
by the additional budget cut and other concerns was to utilize unallocated funds to
bridge the gap.
The results of the Committee's recommendation will be to avoid further cuts beyond 8%
for the 1986-87 projects, keep the Housing Rehabilitation Program operational , but at
a reduced annual expenditure compared to the last two years, and increase the contin-
gency fund to deal with pending and potential shortfall needs of over 60 active
projects.
EFFECTS OF GRAMM-RUDMAN AND THE PRESIDENT'S DEFERRAL
The first round of Gramm-Rudman budget cuts account for 4.3% of this year's reduc-
tion. The President's deferral of $500 million accounts for 16% of the cut. Both of
these budget cutting mechanisms are being opposed in Washington. The final outcome
to be determined later this summer. Based on present estimates the Gramm-Rudman pro-
cess could cut our CDBG an additional 13% next year.
