ITEM NO. E-1
DATE: February 5, 2008
PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER
SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO THE FY 2007-2008 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) ACTION PLAN
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve the proposed amendment to the FY 2007-2008
CDBG Action Plan to include $150,000 for the construction of a ramp at Shadow Oak Park for
handicap accessibility.
DISCUSSION:
The annual CDBG Action Plan is a comprehensive one-year strategy that addresses the use of
CDBG funds for the purposes of meeting the goals of providing decent housing, a suitable living
environment, and expanded economic opportunities, principally for low and moderate income
persons.
The FY 2007-2008 CDBG Action Plan was approved by the City Council on May 1, 2007.
However, according to HUD regulations, a plan can be amended at any time.
On December 18, 2007, the City Council awarded the bid to Green Giant Landscaping, Inc., for
the construction of Phase I of Shadow Oak Park Expansion._ The project includes the
construction of a ramp for handicap accessibility from the Community Center to the lower
parking lot. The ramp was included in the bid and recommendation at a cost of $150,000,
contingent on HUD approval.
HUD has since approved the project. However, the Action Plan must be amended to include the
project and fiinding prior to the expenditure of CDBG fiends.
The process for such an amendment requires a thirty -day public comment period, a public
hearing, and approval by the City Council. Staff initiated the thirty -day public review comment
period on December 26, 2007.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve the proposed amendment to the FY 2007-2008 CDBG Action Plan to include
$150,000 for the construction of a ramp at Shadow Oak Park for handicap accessibility.
2. Provide additional direction.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The approval of the proposed amendment would allow the City to proceed with the identified
project. There is no General Fund impact. Sufficient CDBG funds are available to cover the
cost.
