Second Quarter FY 1988-89 accomplishments of CDBG funded Activities and the Housing and Community Development Divisibn. Arthur Waller, HCDA Manager, informed the Board that Project YoUCAN eventually met the criteria for providing services, but due to funding restraints, the project was not funded. Mr. Waller explained that 150 of the City's CDBG allocation could be used for public services. Due to the fact that the Graffiti Removal Project was reclassified as a�public service, the City has exceeded its 15$ limit and therefore could not provide funding for Project YOUCAN. John Haley asked what caused the over expenditures. Claude Law answered, improper budgeting. A Board member asked if '. both the City Manager and Assistant City Manager were needed to manage the City. Cynthia Green-Geter asked which projects are considered Public Service Projects. Mr. Waller answered," _ any services provided to the general public without cost. ' � � �. � � February 1, 1989 ' HCDA Minutes Page #2 Cynthia Green-Geter asked why the Graffiti Proqram was considered a public service project and not public works. Mr. Waller,informed that Board that originally the City had qualified the project in a different category, but the � Housing and Urban Development Department has disallowed the project as such and infomed the City that the Project must be regarded as public service. Mr. Waller explained that there is a gray area in HUD's regulations regarding this ruling and that the City intends to appeal the suling. Clarence Williams, Administrative Analyst, stated that staff will provide the HCDA Board with copies of the HUD Regulations which addresses Public Service Projects. Mrs. Green-Geter asked why the Graffiti Project could not be considered Rehabilitation. Mr. Waller said that he had asked that same question to HUD but was answered that the Project does not qualify. Mrs: Green-Geter asked how long will it take HUD to give the City a rulinq regarding the Graffiti Project. Mr. Waller explained that HUD handles about 30 � counties, so progress is slow. Mr. Waller informed the Board that any disallowed funds must by paid by the general fund to - HUD and then returned to the City's Letter of Credit for use in another activity. Patricia Carr asked if the City could be disallowed funding. Mr. Waller answered that the Grant could be conditioned, which means that HUD could impose conditions on the Grantee to take affirmative steps to prevent the problem from reocccuring. For example, if a � Grantee has overspent on public services, a condition of subsequent years could be that no.funds be spent for public � services. Mr. Waller informed the Board that staff would submit copies of the revisions made in HUD regulations. Claude Law stated that he would like monies to benefit low and moderate income families and senior citizens.
