The City Council is being asked to consider the adoption of two resolutions related to funding under the CDBG and HOME Programs. The first resolution (Resolution 2005-055) establishes which programs and projects will receive funding with CDBG funds for the FY 2005 Program year, which starts on October 1, 2005, and also how some unprogrammed and reprogrammed funds from both the CDBG and HOME May 17, 2005 -6- Item No. 26 A-D Programs will be utilized during the coming year. The CDBG Commission presents a list of recommendations as to which programs and projects should receive funding. The second resolution (Resolution 2005-056) establishes the major funding categories within the HOME Program for the FY 2005 Program year. Specific projects for the use of HOME funds will be determined in November as a result of the fall funding cycle of the competitive process for the allocation of the City's financial resources to affordable housing programs/projects and community development activities. The resolution establishing which programs and projects will receive CDBG funds represents the culmination of the spring cycle of the competitive process approved in January 2000 by the Council for the allocation of the City's financial resources to affordable housing programs/projects and community development activities. Additional background material about the competitive process is included in Attachment 1. Since early January of this year, the CDBG Commission and members of the City staff's Affordable Housing Team have conducted public hearings to assess community development and housing needs in Fort Collins, conducted technical assistance training workshops for applicants, and solicited applications for CDBG funding. The City's Affordable Housing Board reviewed the written applications for affordable housing projects and forwarded a priority ranking of proposals, as well as comments and questions, to the CDBG Commission. See Attachment 2 for a copy of the Board's materials sent to the CDBG Commission. The CDBG Commission, in addition to reviewing the written applications, personally interviewed each applicant, analyzed the applications, and formulated a list of recommendations to the City Council as to which programs and projects should receive funding. The competitive process established refined criteria to determine priorities between proposals received by the City. The ranking criteria are divided into five major categories. Each category is given a total number of points that has been weighed according to its importance with respect to local and federal priorities. The five major categories are: 1. Impact/Benefit 2. Need/Priority 3. Feasibility 4. Leveraging Resources 5. Capacity and History The Impact/Benefit criteria provide greater rewards to proposals that target lower income groups. The Need/Priority criteria help assure the proposal meets adopted City goals and priorities. The Feasibility criteria reward projects for timelines and documented additional funding. The Leveraging Resources criteria reward proposals which will return funds to the City (loans) and for their ability to leverage other resources. And, the Capacity and History criteria help gage an applicant's ability to do the project and reward applicants that have completed successful projects in the past (have good track records). The ranking sheet used to assist the CDBG Commission and the Affordable Housing Board is presented in Attachment 1. The Commission also considered the funding guidelines contained in the updated Priority Affordable Housing Needs and Strategies report adopted by the Council on July 20, 2004. May 17, 2005 -7- Item No. 26 A-D These guidelines include: • CDBG funds should generally be allocated as follows: 65% for Housing projects; 15% for Public Services; and the balance for Administration and Public facilities; • funds allocated to housing should generally be divided as follows: 70% for rental projects and 30% for homeownership opportunities; and • the average subsidy should be $7,400 per unit, with relatively more funding to projects producing housing for lower income families. The CDBG Program is an ongoing grant administration program funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The City of Fort Collins has received CDBG Program funds since 1975. In 1975 and FY 1976-1977 the City received HUD CDBG discretionary grants. Since FY 1977-1978, the City has been an Entitlement Grant recipient of CDBG funds, meaning the City is guaranteed a certain level of funding each year. The level of funding is dependent on the total amount of funds allocated to the program by Congress and on a formula developed by HUD, which includes data on total population, minorities as a percentage of population, income levels, housing stock conditions, etc. Additional background information on the City's Community Development Block Grant Program is presented in Attachment 3. AVAILABLE FUNDS The amount of the City's CDBG Entitlement Grant for FY 2005-2006 is $1,154,087. The Entitlement Grant will be combined with $30,831 of Unprogrammed FY 2004 CDBG funds and $518,113 of HOME Program funds to create a total of $1,703,030 of funds available for programs and projects during the next CDBG Program year. The following summarizes the amount and sources of available funds: AMOUNT SOURCE $1,154,086 FY 2005 CDBG Entitlement Grant 30,831 CDBG FY 2004 Unprogrammed Funds 250,000 HOME FY 2003 Reprogrammed Funds 159,663 HOME FY 2004 Reprogrammed Funds 108,450 HOME FY 2004-2005 CHDO Funds $1730030 1 Total Unprogrammed funding is the amount of grant funds available from a fiscal year federal grant that has yet to be allocated to a specific project. Reprogrammed funding is the amount of grant funds that were previously allocated to a project(s) but have been returned to the City due to failure to complete the project(s). May 17, 2005 -8- Item No. 26 A-D Below is a summary of recent CDBG funding levels allocated from HUD to the City of Fort Collins: Entitlement Reprogrammed Program Total Year Grant Funds Income Funds 1995 $1,231,000 $ 0 $ 40,000 $1,271,000 1996 $1,202,000 $ 0 $ 40,000 $1,242,000 1997 $1,188,000 $181,273 $ 50,000 $1,419,273 1998 $1,162,000 $216,875 $ 50,000 $1,428,875 1999 $1,169,000 $ 0 $ 50,000 $1,219,000 2000 $1,175,000 $ 34,358 $ 93,544 $1,302,902 2001 $1,227,000 $403,151 $ 89,651 $1,719,802 2002 $1,209,000 $767,262 $ 87,712 $2,063,974 2003 $1,243,000 $ 0 $182,686 $1,425,686 2004 $1 219 000 $220 400 $ 0 $1 439 400 SELECTION PROCESS The selection process for the City's FY 2005-2006 CDBG Program began on January 6, 2005, when the CDBG Commission held a public hearing to obtain citizen input on community development and affordable housing needs. The CDBG Program office placed legal advertisements in local and regional newspapers starting in January to solicit requests for CDBG funded programs and projects for FY 2005-2006. The application deadline was Thursday February 24. At the close of the deadline the City received 36 applications requesting a total of approximately $2.8 million. Copies of all applications were forwarded through the City Manager's office to the City Council on March 3 and placed in the Council Office for review. Also on March 3, copies of the housing applications were distributed to the Affordable Housing Board and copies of all applications were distributed to the CDBG Commission. On Thursday, March 24 the Affordable Housing Board conducted a special meeting to review the housing proposals and prepare a priority listing of applications to the CDBG Commission. On Tuesday March 29, Wednesday March 30, and Thursday March 31, the Commission met to hear presentations and ask clarification questions from each applicant. The Commission then met on Thursday April 7 for the purpose of preparing a recommendation to the City Council as to which programs and projects should be funded for the FY 2005-2006 program year. At this meeting the Commission reviewed the written applications, the applicant's verbal presentation, the information provided during the question and answer session, and reviewed the performance of agencies who received FY 2004-2005 CDBG funds or funding in other previous years. The Commission then worked on the formulation of their list of recommendations. May 17, 2005 -9- Item No. 26 A-D CDBG COMMISSION'S LIST OF RECOMMENDATIONS HUD CDBG regulations limit the amount of available CDBG funds which can be allocated to various generic categories. Funds for Planning and Administrative purposes are limited to 20% of the total of the Entitlement Grant and any Program Income. This means the 20% limitation for Planning and Administrative purposes is $230,817. CDBG funds for Public Services are limited to 15% of the total of the Entitlement Grant and Program Income, making the amount $173,113. The Commission, thus, not only had to decide which applicants presented programs and projects which best fit into the City's CDBG Program, but also had to insure funding allocations were kept within HUD regulations and follow the funding guidelines contained in the Priority Affordable Housing Needs and Strategies report.

Total amount of funding requested = $2,805,228 May 17, 2005 -17- Item No. 26 A-D A summary of the Commission's CDBG funding recommendations by category for the total amount of funds available is as follows: Recommended Funding % of Total Category $ 193,046 14.4% Planning and Administration (Maximum $230,817 based on 20% of CDBG Entitlement Grant 955,346 71.3% Affordable Housing 19,000 1.4% Public Facilities 173,113 12.9% Public Services (Maximum $173,113 based on 15% of CDBG Entitlement Grant $1 340 505 100.0% Total CARRYOVER FUNDING for the Fall Cycle of the Competitive Process Amount Source $121,436 Unprogrammed FY 2005 CDBG Entitlement Grant 11,831 Unprogrammed FY 2004 CDBG Entitlement Grant 46,265 Reprogrammed FY 2003 HOME Grant 159,663 Unprogrammed FY 2004 HOME Grant 23,330 Unprogrammed FY 2004-05 HOME CHDO Set Aside $362 525 Total The total amount of CDBG funding requests considered by the CDBG Commission was approximately $2.8 million, however, only $1.7 million of CDBG and HOME funds are available. With the amount of total requests far exceeding available funding, obviously not all applications could be funded. Due to HUD funding limitations, some Public Service applications received no funding or less funding than requested in order to keep the generic category within program maximums. The CDBG Commission has recommended full funding for eleven (11) proposals. In the Commission's opinion, these applications recommended for full funding best fit CDBG Program national objectives, the selection criteria, and the funding guidelines. The CDBG Commission has recommended partial funding for ten (10) proposals. Proposals, which did not receive full funding, were deemed of a lower priority and, in some cases, a lack of funds, program category limitations (especially in the Public Services category), or funding guidelines prohibited their full funding. The Commission has recommended no funding for fifteen (15) proposals. The Commission's reasons for either full funding, partial funding, or no funding are presented in Attachment 4. A comparison of the Commission's funding recommendations according to the priority ranking of affordable housing proposals developed by the Affordable Housing Board is presented below. The table lists the Board's ranking of affordable housing proposals and presents each proposal's request for funding and the funding recommendation by the Commission.

Affordable Housing Board's Priority Ranking of Affordable Housing Proposals 3. Additional Background Information on the Community Development Block Grant Program 4. April 2005 Funding Recommendations ATTACHMENT Background Information on the Competitive Process for the Allocation of City Financial Resources to Affordable Housing Programs/Projects and Other Community Development Activities In February of 1999, the City Council approved the Priority Affordable Housing Needs and Strategies report, which contained the following strategy: Change from an administrative funding mechanism...to a competitive application process for the Affordable Housing Fund. Between September and November of 1999, a subcommittee consisting of members from the Affordable Housing Board and the Community Development Block Grant(CDBG) Commission met with staff to review issues and develop options for establishment of a competitive process. In addition, the staff solicited ideas from existing affordable housing providers. The subcommittee established the following Mission Statement for their work: Develop a competitive application process and establish a set of shared criteria for the allocation of the City's financial assistance resources to affordable housing projects/programs that address the City's priority affordable housing needs. Competitive Process Five options for a competitive process were reviewed and discussed by the subcommittee. The subcommittee reached a general consensus to support a competitive process that involved both the Affordable Housing Board and the CDBG Commission. The option selected would have the Affordable Housing Board providing recommendations to the City Council in regards to affordable housing policy. In addition, the option would have the Affordable Housing Board reviewing all affordable housing applications for CDBG, HOME and Affordable Housing funds. The Board would then provide a priority listing of proposals to the CDBG Commission. The CDBG Commission would then make the final recommendations to the City Council for funding. Funding Cycles The subcommittee also agreed that there should be two funding cycles per year, one in the spring and the other in the fall. CDBG Program funds would be allocated in the spring to affordable housing programs/projects and other community development activities (public services, public facilities, etc.). HOME Program and Affordable Housing funds would be allocated in the fall primarily to affordable housing programs/projects. The staff and subcommittee agreed that overlaying the new process and cycles would be heightened staff technical assistance to applicants. Both the subcommittee and staff recognize that a bi-annual process will require additional meetings by both the CDBG Commission and Affordable Housing Board, and will require more time from current City staff, and increase the City Council's involvement. Schedule The subcommittee also discussed two alternative schedules for the funding cycles. The option selected incorporates a spring cycle that starts in January and ends in May, and a fall cycle that starts in July and end in November. Review Criteria The subcommittee also discussed and agreed to a new set of review criteria to be used to rank proposals. The criteria are divided into the following five major categories: 1. Impact/Benefit 2. Need/Priority 3. Feasibility 4. Leveraging Resources 5. Capacity and History The Impact/Benefit criteria provide greater rewards to proposals that target lower income groups and provide longer benefits. The Need/Priority criteria help assure the proposal meets adopted City goals and priorities. The Feasibility criteria reward projects for timeliness and documented additional funding. The Leveraging Resources criteria reward proposals which will return funds to the City(loans) and for their ability to leverage other resources. And, the Capacity and History criteria help gage an applicant's ability to do the project and reward applicants that have completed successful projects in the past(have good track records). See next page for a detailed criteria scoring sheet. Application Forms Two new application forms have also been developed. One form would be used for Housing proposals while to other form would be used for Non-Housing Proposals (public services, public facilities, etc.). City Council Adoption On January 18, 2000, the City Council approved Resolution 2000-13, formally adopting the competitive process for the allocation of City financial resources to affordable housing programs/projects and community development activities and the component parts discussed above. Ranking Criteria for CDBG, HOME and Affordable Housing Funding The ranking criterion is divided into five major categories. Each category is given a total number of points that has been weighed according to their importance with respect to local and federal priorities.This ranking sheet will be used to assist the Community Development Block Grant Commission(CDBGC)and the Affordable Housing Board(AHB)in the FY01 Competitive Funding Process.CDBG and AHB members will rank projects according to the questions and criteria shown below. Impact/Benefit(maximum 30 points) I. Primarily targets low income persons? (0-10) (0-30%of AMI= 10 pts,31-50%=8 pts,51-80%=4 pis) 2. Project produces adequate community benefit related to cost?

(0-15) Sub-total GRAND TOTAL ATTACHMENT 2 Affordable Housing Board's Priority Ranking of Affordable Housing Proposals Spring 2005 Competitive Process On Thursday March 24, the Affordable Housing Board conducted a special meeting to formulate a priority ranking of affordable housing proposals received by the City requesting funding during the spring cycle of the 2005 competitive process. The Board's list of priority projects is as follows: 1. HO-1, City- Home Buyer Assistance Program 2. HO-3, FCHC - Village on Bryan Avenue Senior Apartments, Rehabilitation 3. HO-2, FCHC - Village on Plum (aka Sleepy Willow) Preservation Phase II 4. HO-6, CARE Housing- Affordable Housing Land Collaborative 5. HO-5,Neighbor-to-Neighbor - Rehabilitation of Affordable Housing 6. HO-7, Collins Colorado Housing- "Access Sumac" Acquisition and Rehabilitation 7. HO-4, Habitat for Humanity- Vacant Property Acquisition The Board believes all projects are worthy of some funding and the lower ranked proposals should not be denied funding just because of their relative lower ranking. ATTACHMENT ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION on the COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM CDBG PROGRAM NATIONAL OBJECTIVES The primary objective of the CDBG Program is Athe development of viable urban communities,by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment and expanding economic opportunities, principally for persons of low and moderate income. Programs and projects funded with CDBG funds must address at least one of the following three broad National Objectives: (1) provide a benefit to low or moderate income households or persons, (2) eliminate or prevent slum and blight conditions, or (3) meet urgent community development needs which pose an immediate and serious threat to the health and welfare of the community. Presented below is a comparison of City CDBG expenditures for programs and projects categorized according to the National Objectives: National Objectives Low/Moderate Slum/Blight Urgent Income Benefit Elimination Need National Average 90% 10% 0% Cit Expenditures for: 1995 100% 0% 0% 1996 100% 0% 0% 1997 100% 0% 0% 1998 100% 0% 0% 1999 100% 0% 0% 2000 100% 0% 0% 2001 100% 0% 0% 2002 100% 0% 0% 2003 100% 0% 0% 2004 100% 0% 0% CDBG PROGRAM ELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES CDBG funds can be used on a wide range of activities including: (1) acquiring deteriorated and/or inappropriately developed real property (including property for the purpose of building new housing); (2) acquiring, constructing, rehabilitating or installing publicly owned facilities and improvements; (3) restoration of historic sites; (4) beautification of urban land; (5) conservation of open spaces and preservation of natural resources and scenic areas; (6) housing rehabilitation can be funded if it benefits low and moderate income people; and (7) economic development activities are eligible expenditures if they stimulate private investment of community revitalization and expand economic opportunities for low and moderate income people and the handicapped. Certain activities are ineligible, under most circumstances, for CDBG funds including: (1) purchase of equipment, (2) operating and maintenance expenses including repair expenses and salaries, (3) general government expenses, (4) political and religious activities, and (5) new housing construction. Presented below is a comparison of CDBG expenditures by activity category compared to the national average for that category: National Activity Average 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998 1 1997 Housing 43% 44% 54% 73% 72% 64% 73% 73% 63% Public Facilities 21% 26% 18% 11% 2% 5% 2% 2% 13% Planning/Administration 14% 17% 14% 7% 11% 17% 10% 10% 9% Max 20% Economic Develo ment 13% 0% 0% 1 0% 1 0% 1 0% 0% 0% 0% Public Services 9% 13% 14% 1 9% 1 15% 1 14% 15% 15% 15% Max. 15% The Planning and Administration category can include funds allocated for planning related projects as well as program administration.

Taylor seconds. Unanimous. Mr. Browning: Everyone obviously did their homework. Mr. Taylor: Moved for adjournment, seconded by Ms. Ramos-Garcia. The meeting adjourned at 8:15 p.m. HOUSING PROJECTS At the conclusion of motions of housing and facilities proposals, moved by Mr. Berglund, seconded by Mr. Taylor: To accept the recommendations as finalized. Motion approved unanimously. HO-1 — Homebuyer Assistance - $200,000 request Moved by Ms. Wagner, seconded by Mr. Taylor: To recommend full funding. Motion approved 6-0-1. Total recommended funding level - $200,000 Reasons for the Recommendation This is a successful program that meets a need of people achieving home ownership who may not otherwise have that opportunity. The program meets the City's funding priorities. 1­10-2 — FCHC — Village on Plum - $300,000 request Moved by Mr. Berglund, seconded by Ms. Molander: To recommend full funding. Motion approved unanimously. Total recommended funding level - $300,000 Reasons for the Recommendation In evaluating what has been paid for to the present and what may be available in the future, funding can work to making an existing facility viable and self-sufficient. This project is high on the Affordable Housing Board's priorities. It serves the lowest AMI 2 levels. The appearance of the rehab work is impressive. A need exists to keep properties funded that need continuing subsidy due to the low income levels served. HO-3 FCHC Village on Bryan - $152,735 request Moved by Ms. Wagner, seconded by Mr. Berglund: To recommend full funding, to be taken from HOME FY03 funds. Motion approved unanimously. Total recommended funding level - $152,735 Reasons for the Recommendation It is preferable to maintain existing stock serving low income households rather than having to replace it with new construction. HO-4 — Habitat for Humanity - $240,000 request Moved by Ms. Ramos-Garcia, seconded by Ms. Wagner: To recommend full funding. Friendly amendment proposed by the second, with agreement of movant: To take the funds from HOME FY03 reprogrammed funds. Motion failed 4-4. Moved by Ms. Ramos-Garcia: To recommend funding of $120,000. Motion died for lack of a second. Moved by Ms. Ramos-Garcia: To recommend funding of $51,000 for one unit. Motion passes 5-3. Total recommended funding level - $51,000 Reasons for the Recommendation The city is experiencing housing affordability issues. Habitat can purchase lots at a relatively good rate, while housing prices will rise. The applicant has identified properties and has presented a good model in making projects successful. The program is ostensibly moving to reach a critical mass where it becomes self-sufficient. Habitat can address an immediate need. The applicant has shown the ability and resources to meet the workload that it takes on, with no evidence that they will hold on to appropriate funding, waiting for opportunities to arise. The city-wide issue of affordable ownership needs to be addressed, and this applicant does that well. However, this applicant has taken on a large workload. Other agencies have a more immediate need for the funds. Future needs may be able to look toward Land Bank holdings. The applicant is presently holding other appropriated funds, so other current funding is available to them. Other funding sources are also available. Concerns are that applicant is taking on too much responsibility for too many lots. Too much funding is being tied up for one 3 applicant, increasing the risk for those funds. The funding reaches low number of families and, therefore, has lower impact than other applications. If partial funding is allocated, it will not meet the full intent of the housing construction 'blitz" that was presented. HO-5 — Neighbor to Neighbor - $251,611 request Moved by Ms. Wagner, seconded by Mr. Berglund: To recommend full funding, with funding to be comprised of $85,120 from CHDO funding, and $166,491 from CDBG FY05 funds. Motion approved 7-1. Total recommended funding level - $251,611 Reasons for the Recommendation The applicant has shown good direction in acquiring properties through its change in management. The new asset manager provides higher levels of capability. Funding provides the opportunity for the applicant to live up to its ambitious promises. This proposal addresses real needs that are present within the structure. However, funding this project opens the potential need for future and continued funding. The most immediate needs may be addressed with partial funding. The applicant should be held accountable to its rehabilitation plan. HO-6 — CARE Housing - $500,000 request Moved by Ms. Wagner, seconded by Mr. Taylor: To recommend no funding. Motion approved 6-1-1. Total recommended funding level - $0 Reasons for the Recommendation The Commission is impressed with the formation of this coalition. However, from a loan perspective, this proposal is very early within the funding stages. No construction plans or other plans that would be timely are in place. Planning needs to be more complete before funding is requested. With the funds presently available, the applicant is encouraged to meet more immediate needs. The applicant presently has a $100,000 funding appropriation from the prior year, with no results yet produced. There is time to consider this application as its planning continues. HO-7 — Collins Colorado Housing - $90,000 Moved by Ms. Molander, seconded by Mr. Berglund: To recommend full funding, to be comprised of HOME funds. Motion fails, 2-7. Moved by Mr. Taylor, seconded by Ms. Wagner: To recommend no funding. Motion approved, 6-3. 4 Total recommended fundina level - $0 Reasons for the Recommendation This is a worthy project that provides a limited population for truly accessible housing. A solid plan presented. This is a good representation of the results that can be achieved by a for-profit applicant using public funding. This project may encourage other for-profit entities. However, the result of funding this project carries the likelihood of yet another responsibility to be assumed for CDBG-funded maintenance into the future, as evidenced by other similar projects. Future funding needs remain uncertain. The project owner needs to have the property become self-sustaining. AD-2 CDBG Admin - $193,046 request Moved by Ms. Wagner, seconded by Mr. Berglund: To recommend full funding. Motion approved unanimously. Total recommended funding level - $193,046 Reasons for the Recommendation No comments. PA-1 — NFC Business Association - $20,000 Moved by Ms. Molander, seconded by Ms. Wagner: To recommend no funding. Motion approved, 7-1. Moved by Ms. Ramos-Garcia: To recommend funding of $10,000. Motion died for lack of a second. Moved by Ms. Ramos-Garcia: To recommend funding of$5,000. Motion failed, 2-7. Total recommended fundina level - $0 Reasons for the Recommendation This application generally represents a good cause. The Commission encourages membership by those in the affected corridor. A small contribution - i.e., seed money - could leverage higher capabilities. This is an opportune time for expenditures in this depressed area and will have a positive effect on the citizens of this area. Revitalization of North College is a Council priority. However, the proposal serves businesses as opposed to low income citizens. This does not constitute a high priority for basic needs. No leverage was described or has apparently been sought. The presentation seemed to 5 be premature, given the status of this project. The need is relatively undefined in comparison to the other proposals. PUBLIC FACILITIES PF-1 — City of Fort Collins Engineering — Daisy Street - $47,376 request Moved by Ms. Molander, seconded by Mr. Berglund: To recommend no funding. Motion approved unanimously. Total recommended funding level - $0 Reasons for the Recommendation This application is a low priority in comparison to other projects. No health and safety issues are apparent in the request. Given the limited CDBG budget and the small numbers served by the proposal, funding has higher priority elsewhere. A certain level of citizen needs are being attended to at present. PF-2 — City of Fort Collins Engineering — Scott Avenue - $97,572 request Moved by Ms. Molander, seconded by Mr. Berglund: To recommend no funding. Motion approved unanimously. Total recommended funding level - $0 Reasons for the Recommendation This application is a low priority in comparison to other projects. No health and safety issues are apparent in the request. Given the limited CDBG budget and the small numbers served by the proposal, funding has higher priority elsewhere. A certain level of citizen needs are being attended to at present. PF-3 — City of Fort Collins Engineering — North Mason Street - $211,500 request Moved by Ms. Molander, seconded by Mr. Berglund: To recommend no funding. Motion approved unanimously. Total recommended funding level - $0 Reasons for the Recommendation This application is a low priority in comparison to other projects. No health and safety issues are apparent in the request. Given the limited CDBG budget and the small 6 numbers served by the proposal, funding has higher priority elsewhere. A certain level of citizen needs are being attended to at present. PF-4 — City of Fort Collins Engineering — Alpine Street - $84,600 Moved by Ms. Molander, seconded by Mr. Berglund: To recommend no funding. Motion approved unanimously. Total recommended funding level - $0 Reasons for the Recommendation This application is a low priority in comparison to other projects. No health and safety issues are apparent in the request. Given the limited CDBG budget and the small numbers served by the proposal, funding has higher priority elsewhere. A certain level of citizen needs are being attended to at present. PF-5 — City of Fort Collins Engineering — Pinon Street - $97,010 request Moved by Ms. Molander, seconded by Mr. Berglund: To recommend no funding. Motion approved unanimously. Total recommended fundina level - $0 Reasons for the Recommendation This application is a low priority in comparison to other projects. No health and safety issues are apparent in the request. Given the limited CDBG budget and the small numbers served by the proposal, funding has higher priority elsewhere. A certain level of citizen needs are being attended to at present. PF-6— City of Fort Collins - Crossroads — $12,000 request Moved by Mr. Berglund, seconded by Ms. Wagner.: To recommend full funding. Motion approved unanimously. Total recommended funding level - $12,000 Reasons for the Recommendation This represents a high need in search of available funding. The applicant has been diligent in obtaining other funding. This project will complete process that was begun with the CDBG Commission's encouragement. The Commission feels a responsibility to 7 assist with safety issues occurring on City property. Historically, there have been questionable priorities in this applicant's proposals. PF-7 — NCAP Facility Purchase - $7,000 request Moved by Ms. Molander, seconded by Ms. Wagner: To recommend full funding, with funding to be obtained from unprogrammed funds. Mr. Waido cautioned that unprogrammed funds are usually reserved for projects needing immediate funding. Motion approved unanimously. Total recommended funding level - $7,000 Reasons for the Recommendation This project fulfills the applicant's commitment to the CDBG Commission. Funding will help this program to continue operating and become more self-sufficient. This request also helps to free up funds that would normally be requested in the strained Public Service category. PUBLIC SERVICE PROJECTS Mr. Waido distributed Ms. Zimlich's comments and the response returned by Meals on Wheels. Mr. Waido noted that although applicants are requested to enter a minimum amount; however, most agencies would willingly accept any funding recommended. In this tight funding cycle, the high levels of demand and crucial need may well override the applicant's stated minimum funding. At the end of the discussion on motions, moved by Mr. Berglund, seconded by Mr. Taylor: To accept the funding recommendations as presented. Motion failed, 4-5. Moved by Ms. Flores, seconded by Mr. Kulischeck: To reallocate $2,500 from PS- 2, Springfield Court, to bring that applicant to its minimum request; to reallocate $1,500 from PS-7, ELTC, to bring that applicant to its minimum request; to reallocate $1,750 from PS-11, Sunshine School, to bring that applicant to its minimum request; to reallocate $2,000 from PS-16, United Day Care Center, to bring that applicant to its minimum request; and to reallocate the sum of those funds, $7,750, to Family Center/La Familia. Motion approved, 5-4. Moved by Mr. Taylor: To extend equal funding provided, per child served, at a level of $500 per child for Springfield Court, Sunshine School, Family Center/La Familia, and United Day Care. Motion died for lack of a second. 8 Moved by Mr. Berglund, seconded by Ms. Molander: To accept the Public Service projects as presented. Motion passed unanimously. PS-1 — Project Self-Sufficiency - $20,000 request Moved by Mr. Berglund, seconded by Ms. Wagner: To recommend no funding. Motion approved, 7-1-1. Total recommended funding level - $0 Reasons for the Recommendation While this is a very good application from an applicant with excellent track record, many clients use other services that have high funding needs as well. This applicant is extremely proficient at fund-raising, while other applicants present higher needs. The basic issues of food, shelter, health, and safety are addressed by other organizations with strained funding sources and high needs. PS-2 - Springfield Court - $17,500 request Moved by Ms. Ramos-Garcia, seconded by Ms. Wagner: To recommend full funding. Motion approved unanimously. Moved by Ms. Flores, seconded by Mr. Kulischeck: To reallocate $2,500 from PS- 2, Springfield Court, to bring that applicant to its minimum request; to reallocate $1,500 from PS-7, ELTC, to bring that applicant to its minimum request; to reallocate $1,750 from PS-11, Sunshine School, to bring that applicant to its minimum request; to reallocate $2,000 from PS-16, United Day Care Center, to bring that applicant to its minimum request; and to reallocate the sum of those funds, $7,750, to Family Center/La Familia. Motion approved, 5-4. Total recommended funding level - $15,000 Reasons for the Recommendation The program meets wide variety of income levels while providing an impressive level of service. The motivation of the program's participants is evident in the staff and level of service. A need exists to keep people working, and comfortable child care is essential to meet that need. This applicant's geographical location is advantageous, addressing a different population set than other similar providers. 9 PS-3 — CASA - $12,464 Moved by Mr. Kulischeck, seconded by Ms. Ramos-Garcia: To recommend full funding. Motion failed, 4-5. Moved by Ms. Wagner, seconded by Mr. Berglund: To recommend no funding. Motion approved, 5-4. Total recommended funding level - $0 Reasons for the Recommendation The service provided is unique and unduplicated. If volunteers are not received, the affected kids will be unserved. A CASA presence makes a difference in very difficult cases. Better funding of the program could make this needy program more visible. The need for this service is growing in the community. However, the program does not constitute a basic need. The funding needs of this program will be met by other sources. The very limited funding available to the Commission is needed for other high priority projects. The program still has the ability to accept each case presented. PS-4— Ensight - $5,200 request Moved by Ms. Sutherlin, seconded by Mr. Berglund: To recommend no funding. Motion approved 9-0. Total recommended funding level - $0 Reasons for the Recommendation The program does not meet the very basic needs of the population. A CDBG grant is not an optimum source of funding. The application has the feel of a back-end stopgap measure. The application addresses an expansion in services. PS-5 — Elderhaus - $6,669 request Moved by Ms. Ramos-Garcia, seconded by Ms. Molander: To recommend full funding. Motion approved, 6-3. Total recommended funding level - $6,669 Reasons for the Recommendation 10 The program addresses the needs of a growing senior population and their families. The issues affect not only the senior population but other segments. The applicant provides a unique service that has no duplication with other providers. The program has a successful track record. This is hoped to constitute seed money to help the applicant reach a level of self-sufficiency. Funding provides a safety net for families with unavoidable difficulties. PS-6 -Wingshadow — $20,000 request Moved by Ms. Molander, seconded by Mr. Berglund: To recommend no funding. Motion 8-1. Total recommended funding level - $0 Reasons for the Recommendation Good use is made of volunteers. However, rather than addressing current needs, the application creates new positions, thereby creating a higher risk in funding. The program does not address the more basic needs that exist for the limited funds. The program can meet its needs with its present funding. Concern was expressed in regard to too-aggressive growth. PS-7 - Education and Life Training Center - $10,000 request Moved by Mr. Berglund, seconded by Ms. Molander: To recommend full funding. Motion approved 8-1. Moved by Ms. Flores, seconded by Mr. Kulischeck: To reallocate $2,500 from PS- 2, Springfield Court, to bring that applicant to its minimum request; to reallocate $1,500 from PS-7, ELTC, to bring that applicant to its minimum request; to reallocate $1,750 from PS-11, Sunshine School, to bring that applicant to its minimum request; to reallocate $2,000 from PS-16, United Day Care Center, to bring that applicant to its minimum request; and to reallocate the sum of those funds, $7,750, to Family Center/La Familia. Motion approved, 5-4. Total recommended funding level - $8,500 Reasons for the Recommendation The program uses its funding very effectively. A large number of people are served per dollar awarded. The program addresses the basic need of employment abilities, in the face of an ever-rising community need. The program appears to be very well run. PS-8 Respite Care - $10,000 request Moved by Mr. Berglund, seconded by Ms. Molander: To recommend full funding. Motion approved 5-4. Total recommended funding level - $10,000 Reasons for the Recommendation This program serves a large population that requires very basic services. The program is unique and unduplicated. Funding provides a safety net for families with unavoidable difficulties. PS-9 Meals on Wheels - $9,490 request Moved Mr. Kulischeck, seconded by Ms. Wagner: To recommend no funding. Motion approved unanimously. Total recommended funding level - $0 Reasons for the Recommendation The program fills a great role within the community and addresses a basic need of food. But, no great requirement is seen for CDBG as an irreplaceable funding source. The program's recipients are not fully identified, only the general need. The program has created its own artificial floor in regard to meal prices. The program's criteria does not specifically look to a low-income and high-need population. PS-10 — BASE Camp - $19,685 request Moved by Ms. Molander, seconded by Mr. Berglund: To recommend full funding. Motion passed unanimously. Total recommended funding level - $19,685 Reasons for the Recommendation This program is the only after-school program in the city. Reaches broad segment of population, with high effectiveness of funding received. The program serves many families and helps to keep them self-sufficient. Consistent with other providers as far as addressing their need. Good track record. Lack of funding in child-care services can drive a higher level of support elsewhere in society for the affected family. It is beneficial for a child to be enrolled in day-care rather than staying home alone. 12 PS-11 — Sunshine School - $14,000 request Moved by Ms. Wagner, seconded by Ms. Flores: To recommend full funding. Motion approved, 6-3. Moved by Ms. Flores, seconded by Mr. Kulischeck: To reallocate $2,500 from PS- 2, Springfield Court, to bring that applicant to its minimum request; to reallocate $1,500 from PS-7, ELTC, to bring that applicant to its minimum request; to reallocate $1,750 from PS-11, Sunshine School, to bring that applicant to its minimum request; to reallocate $2,000 from PS-16, United Day Care Center, to bring that applicant to its minimum request; and to reallocate the sum of those funds, $7,750, to Family Center/La Familia. Motion approved, 5-4. Total recommended funding level - $12,250 Reasons for the Recommendation The program meets a basic need of child care provided to needy families to address self-sufficiency. The service covers an range of early ages not fully addressed by other providers. PS-12 — RVNA - $15,000 request Moved by Ms. Ramos-Garcia, seconded by Mr. Berglund: To recommend no funding. Motion failed, 3-6. Moved by Ms. Molander, seconded by Ms. Wagner: To recommend funding of $3,599 (constituting the funds remaining after the first round of funding discussions), to be applied to the skilled-services portion of the application. Motion approved, 7-2. Total recommended funding level - $3,599 Reasons for the Recommendation The program addresses a basic need of health care. It serves a population presently without health care, resulting in a large savings cost to the community. By supplying a partial award, the funding can be focused on services for the very neediest persons affected. However, the program addresses only a need within specialized groups, while other needs with broader-targeted populations take higher priority. The applicant can meet most of its needs through its own funding. 13 PS-13 - FirstCall - $4,000 request Moved by Mr. Berglund, seconded by Ms. Wagner: To recommend no funding. Motion approved unanimously. Total recommended funding level - $0 Reasons for the Recommendation FirstCall was mentioned as being source of many referrals to other service providers. But, the program does not meet parameters of serving the very neediest populations in this cycle of very limited funding. PS-14— Neighbor to Neighbor Housing Counseling - $30,000 request Moved by Ms. Wagner, seconded by Mr. Taylor: To recommend funding of $25,000. Motion approved 7-0-2. Total recommended funding level — $25,000 Reasons for the Recommendation The program provides good leverage of other resources, It addresses the basic need of shelter, helping to ensure that people in need of this program do not lose their housing. The community needs this level of housing expertise that is provided without other agendas. PS-15 — NCAP - $14,000 request Moved by Ms. Wagner, seconded by Mr. Taylor: To recommend funding of $4,640, as the difference from the monthly savings and the award in the Public Facilities application. Motion approved, 5-4. Total recommended funding level - $4,670 Reasons for the Recommendation The program addresses the basic need of shelter with its housing assistance. The program reaches a large number of people. Sound fiscal responsibility is shown. The program has a good track record. 14 PS-16 — United Day Care - $25,500 request Moved by Ms. Molander, seconded by Ms. Sutherlin: To recommend full funding. Motion approved, 8-1. Moved by Ms. Flores, seconded by Mr. Kulischeck: To reallocate $2,500 from PS- 2, Springfield Court, to bring that applicant to its minimum request; to reallocate $1,500 from PS-7, ELTC, to bring that applicant to its minimum request; to reallocate $1,750 from PS-11, Sunshine School, to bring that applicant to its minimum request; to reallocate $2,000 from PS-16, United Day Care Center, to bring that applicant to its minimum request; and to reallocate the sum of those funds, $7,750, to Family Center/La Familia. Motion approved, 5-4. Total recommended funding level - $23,000 Reasons for the Recommendation The program serves many families and helps to keep them self-sufficient. Consistent with other providers as far as addressing their need. This is a long-time provider of these services. Lack of funding in these services drive a higher level of support elsewhere in society. It is beneficial for a child to be enrolled in day-care rather than staying home alone. PS-17 — Family Center/La Familia - $17,750 request Moved by Mr. Kulischeck, seconded Ms. Ramos-Garcia: To recommend funding of $7,750, to be applied to salaries for a teacher and bilingual assistant. Motion failed, 4-5. Moved by Ms. Wagner, seconded by Mr. Taylor: To recommend no funding. Motion approved, 6-3. Moved by Ms. Flores, seconded by Mr. Kulischeck: To reallocate $2,500 from PS- 2, Springfield Court, to bring that applicant to its minimum request; to reallocate $1,500 from PS-7, ELTC, to bring that applicant to its minimum request; to reallocate $1,750 from PS-11, Sunshine School, to bring that applicant to its minimum request; to reallocate $2,000 from PS-16, United Day Care Center, to bring that applicant to its minimum request; and to reallocate the sum of those funds, $7,750, to Family Center/La Familia. Motion approved, 5-4. Total recommended funding level - $7,750 Reasons for the Recommendation 15 This program provides day-care for the poorest of families. The level of service calls for a different structure than seen with other services. This program comprises the only bilingual day-care in the city and helps children with basic language needs. Without this service, many of the client children would not enjoy a safe environment. This program offers many different aspects and activities for families. The salaries themselves are at an appropriate level. However, there are no specific plans for addressing the future salary needs that are temporarily addressed by CDBG funding in this cycle, Some services are provided by other carriers, albeit at much higher cost. Future salary needs are not addressed. Other services, such as tuition supplementation, would be better postured for funding but were not requested by this applicant in favor of salary subsidies. PS-18 Catholic Charities - $30,000 request Moved by Ms. Molander, seconded by Ms. Ramos-Garcia: To recommend full funding. Friendly amendment proposed by Mr. Berglund, accepted by movant and second: To recommend funding of $26,000, the minimum requested. Motion approved unanimously. Total recommended funding level - $26,000 Reasons for the Recommendation This facility is the only place that this level of service is provided. The program meets the most basic needs of shelter. The facility is highly utilized by the targeted population. The Commission would like to see a higher amount of leverage achieved in the faith community. PS-19 Women's Resource Center - $15,000 request Moved by Ms. Ramos-Garcia, seconded by Mr. Berglund: To recommend no funding. Motion approved 5-4. Total recommended funding level - $0 Reasons for the Recommendation A good program that addresses a diverse population. However, serving a diverse population does not rise to meeting basic needs. Other applicants have higher priority with basic needs. 16 PS-20 - Disabled Resource Services - $10,520 request Moved by Mr. Berglund, seconded by Mr. Kulischeck: To recommend full funding. Motion approved 7-1-1. Total recommended funding level - $10,520 Reasons for the Recommendation This is the only provider for the services offered. The program addresses low-income people in crisis. The AMI served is below 30%. The program serves an at-risk population. HOME FUNDING AD-1 HOME Admin - $68,188 request CHDO Set-Aside - $102,282 request Housing Projects - $511,411 This item needs to be approved by City Council, with the funding to be available for allocation to specific projects in the fall cycle. Moved by Mr. Taylor, seconded by Ms. Wagner: To accept the Staff recommendation contained within AD-1.
