BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
A. Housing and Community Development Advisory Committee
Recommendations:
This is the twentieth year of the Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) Program, which is intended to primarily benefit
low and moderate income persons in the Urban County. (The
"Urban County" comprises the unincorporated County and all
cities except Richmond, Concord, Walnut Creek, Antioch and
Pittsburg. ) The 1994/95 CDBG program recommended by the
Housing and Community Development Advisory Committee provides
that all funds will be utilized to benefit low and moderate
income persons.
The Committee conducted numerous meetings, including three
public hearings and eight full meetings for presentations by
proposal sponsors. A total of 126 proposals requesting
approximately $10 million were received and considered
(Exhibit B) . The Committee developed its preliminary program
on January 4, 1994, and conducted a public hearing on its
preliminary recommendations as part of its January 19, 1994
meeting. After this hearing, the Committee formulated its
final recommendation to the Board of Supervisors (Exhibit A) .
B. Board of Supervisors Considerations
1. Contingency/Reprogrammed Funds Available for Allocation
On December 14 , 1993 the Board of Supervisors adopted*new
funding guidelines for the CDBG Program. Among other
things, the new guidelines provided for the Committee's
recommendation to include a 2% contingency which the
Board of Supervisors could program subsequent to its
public hearing. The Committee's recommendation includes
$102 , 088 in unallocated funds, which the Board can
allocate to respond to community concerns.
In addition, staff has received a letter from the County
Housing Authority (Exhibit E) advising it is withdrawing
its funding request for the Los Arboles Child Care Center
(Open 69- Exhibit B; and Project 27 - Exhibit A) .
Further, the Housing Authority advised that most of the
1993/94 CDBG funds allocated to this project are not
needed and should be reprogrammed. An additional $25, 000
is available from this source.
In summary, the Board may allocate up to $167, 088 from
the contingency and reprogrammed funds area.
2 . Public Service Cap
By Federal regulation, up to 15% of the annual grant
amount plus 15% of program income can be allocated to
public service activities. The Committee recommendation
for public service activities did not allocate the 15% of
program income component (as provided for in the December
14, 1993 Guidelines) . Therefore, the Board of
Supervisors may allocate up to $62 , 500 of the available
contingency/reprogrammed funds ($167, 088 as stated in
paragraph one above) for public service activities.
3 . Countywide Economic Development Strategy
On December 14, 1993 the Board of Supervisors referred to
the Housing & Community Development Advisory Committee a
request for $50, 000 to go towards a public and privately
funded Economic Development Strategy for the entire
county (Exhibit D) . The Committee declined to consider
the referral, stating that it had been received after the
deadline for submittal of applications.
Staff is recommending that the County's contribution
toward the development of a countywide Economic
Development Strategy be funded at the $50, 000 level.
Sufficient funds are available in the Contingency/
Reprogrammed Funds (see paragraph one above) to cover
this allocation.

Dear Ms Anderson
RE: :. 1994-95 CDBG Program
On December 14, 1993 the Board of Supervisors authorized the submittal of an application for 1994/95
CDBG funds to the Housing &Community Development Advisory Committee. In so doing, the Board
of Supervisors recognized that the timing of this application was late relative to the Committee's funding
cycle; however, because of the high priority they attach to economic development and job generation,
they felt the application,was warranted
-. By way of background,the Board of Supervisors hosted a Countywide Economic Summit on September
30, 1993 at Los Medanos College. The Summit produced two fundamental conclusions:
1. This County (all its communities) needs to have a proactivepresence with respect to
economic development, and that a viable structure involving a partnership of business,
industry, labor,"government, "educators, and non-profits needs tc be established. .
v. Dialogue with respect to establishment is progressing at this time,
{ 2. An'economic development strategy,'developed from a Countywide perspective, was
needed to achieve consensus on goals and objectives, to rationalize response programs,
and to act as a catalyst for the development of an organizational stiucture: :The CDBG
fibeing requested are to provide partial funding for.development of an economic
nds _
' = development strategy.
: .I look forward to responding to any questions.which the Committee members may have

SUBJECT: Development of a Countywide Economic Development Strategy
On September 30, 1993 the Board of Supervisors hosted a countywide Economic Summit. The
Economic Summit concluded that this County needed to be much more pro-active in promoting
and facilitating economic development.
A principle common among jurisdictions that have initiated successful economic development
efforts is the development of a strategic plan that: .:::,
Y._._. �•

• : Identifies the assets and liabilities; `.
• Sets quantifiable goals;
• Establishes'program objectives with priorities; and
Contains an action plan.
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) .funds may be used to finance the development
of economic development_stcategies,.:(see 12/13/93 memorandum regarding use of CDBG funds
for economic development). The Housing and Community Development Advisory Committee
Is currently developing the County's recommended 1994-95 CDBG program. Should the Board
of Supervisors wish to pursue development of an economic development strategy jointly with the
private sector and other cities within the next year, it is suggested that the Board of Supervisors
refer to the Housing and Community Development Advisory Committee a request for 1994-95
funds. An estimated$100,000 would be needed to prepare a countywide economic development
strategy. Attempts are being made to enlist financial support from both the public and private
sector to augment these funds,-however, no commitments are in place today. Discussions on
both the financial and organizational front continue.

o "°"'"°Oiadai" Los Arboles Child Care Center
a
PIG) Dear Ms. Gritf in
o RMOW ad.*wr=d.+d
a10 S-M9'+ In the 1994/95 CDBG funding cycle, the Housing
Authority applied for $235,000 in construction
funding for the Los Arboles Child Care Center in
Oakley, CA. We have been notified that the final
Housing and Community Development Advisory
Committee (HCDC) recommendation for this project
is $40,000. The Authority has completed most of
the predevelopment work and cannot proceed any
further with the construction unless the Authority
can secure, and hold, all of the $458,00'0 in
required construction funds within a reasonable
time period. Because of the very limited funding
sources for construction of child care centers, `
the Authority had counted on receiving the bulk of
the needed funding from the CDBG program. Based
on our experience, the likelihood of pulling
together enough funding from other sources within
the next yearwithout a commitment for the
majority of the funding requested from CDBG is
minimal. Thus, the Authority is withdrawing its
funding request under the 1994/95 CDBG program so
that those funds can be reprogramed to projects
that are ready this year.
The Authority and the County have already executed
a Project Agreement (No. 19-20) , approved by the
Board of Supervisors on June 8, 1993, for $35,000
in predevelopment funds awarded in the 1993/94
CDBG year. We believe that the majority of those
funds should also be released for use on projects
currently in need of CDBG funding. Once the final
tally of costs expended to date under this
agreement are verified, the Authority will request

termination' of the agreement so that the remainder
of these funds can also be reprogrammed.
As the Housing Authority still intends to
construct this facility in the future, it will
continue to pursue other funding sources. It may
also return to the HCDC in an upcoming year to
. request some funding for the project.
Please don't hesitate to call Marge Gladman or
Robert MCEwan if there are any additional
questions.

DATE: March 1, 1994
SUBJECT: Supplementary Information on the 1994/95 CDBG Program (Item 2.6)
The purpose of this memorandum is to respond to questions raised regarding the 1994/95
Community Development Block Grant Program statement.
Per Supervisor Bishop's suggestion, staff gathered and compared initial ideas for
allocation of the unprogrammed $167,088 identified in the February 18th Board Order
(Exhibit A). The adjustments suggested by the Board exceed available dollars. Staff is
transmitting this information to the Board to assist with making final decisions on 1994/95
CDBG funding.
The Countywide Economic Development Strategy proposed by the Board is recommended
for funding in all three written polls received by this department. Two Supervisors
suggested funding the Strategy ($50,000) by reducing all other economic development
projects. (See full project listing in Exhibit B.) As an alternative, staff recommends
adjusting the following selected projects as a more cost-effective approach:
*Reduce ED9, In-Home Care Registry, Family & Community Svcs by $10,000;
*Reduce ED98, Housing Authority Job Skills/Working Training by $10,000;
*Reduce ED104, Small Business Facade Rehabilitation Fund by $10,000; and
*Reduce ED107, Computer Translation Center, UCSSO by $20,000.
Open-71, the Brentwood Community Center, UCSSO, is eligible as proposed. HUD
standards permit the rehabilitation of leased properties when the tenant has a five-year
lease. UCSSO is under a 5-year lease with a 5-year renewal period. The CDBG Program
has rehabilitated numerous leased facilities during the past few years. This proposal is
for Phase 11 of the same project funded with 1993/94 CDBG funding.
As stated in our February 23, 1994, staff is aware that there is much controversy among
other jurisdictions and organizations regarding the Cambridge Community Center. CDBG
has funded this program for more than five years and program staff have not experienced
any difficulties with either the Center's financial or programmatic performance.
Item 1.47 on the March 1 agenda recommends that $18,000 in 1994 Emergency Shelter
Grant funds be awarded to Shelter, Inc. This money will provide for a benefits counselor
to serve homeless individuals and families.
