TITLE
A RESOLUTION TRANSFERING AND REPROGRAMMING UNENCUMBERED
FEDERAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) FUNDS
FROM PRIOR YEAR PROJECTS TO CD0624 — GRAFFITI REMOVAL
PROGRAM
ISSUE
The approval of a resolution allowing for the transfer of unencumbered CDBG
funds for an increase of services through the City's Graffiti Removal Program.
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of the Resolution
BACKGROUND
The Department has closed two 2005 CDBG projects that were unable to
proceed. Project CD0520 was a $13,000 grant to Concerned Parents. The
Agency's closure prohibited them from providing the public service under which
they were awarded the funding. Project CD0521 was a $2000 grant to the Hyde
Park Neighborhood Association, which was also unable to provide the required
public service activity. The resulting unencumbered amount is $15,000. It is the
recommendation of staff that the funds be transferred and reprogrammed for
additional graffiti removal. The funds are to provide for salary and supplies for
the operation of the soda blasting machine. The services provided must be an
increase to the prior year's delivery of services.
The Department of Housing and Citizen Services held a public hearing on March
13, 2006, to receive comments on this proposed change. There was no one in
attendance from the general public. Attachment A contains the minutes of the
meeting.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The amount of excess CDBG funds to be reprogrammed is $15,000. The funds
are to be transferred to CDBG project CD0624. The funds are available from
unencumbered balances in fund 250 - 9540 - 600- 80 -50, in project CD0520
($13,000), CD0521 ($2,000).
