INFORMATIONAL ITEM:
CDBG EMERGENCY SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION FUND
Mrs. Clark informed the Commission that the Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has made $109,000 in CDBG
Emergency Supplemental Appropriation funds available to the
City of Lynwood for Northridge earthquake recovery expenses.
Ms. Clark stated that the CDBG Emergency Supplemental
Appropriation funds cannot be used for activities
reimbursable by FEMA, such as residential repairs. However
HUD does allow funds to be used for repair of City
structures damaged by the earthquake. The City proposed to
repair damages to the Community Center, Tennis Court, Main
City Hall Building and Bateman Hall.
Commissioner Alford asked if those City facilities listed
were the only buildings which sustained damages? Ms. Clark
replied no, however these buildings listed sustained the most
damage. The assessed damages were prioritized by urgency
according to Facilities Maintenance Department under the
direction of Mr. John Oskoui.

Commissioner Alford asked if the City has received any bids
from Contractors on the proposed repairs. Ms. Clark stated
that the project will not go out to bid until the project is
approved by Council and funding is received.
Commissioner Alford was of the opinion that the proposed
repairs to Bateman Hall, Tennis court and the Community
Center existed prior to the earthquake.
Commissioner Byrd asked when the public hearing was
scheduled. Ms. Clark replied that the public hearing will be
held at the City Council meeting of August 18, 1994.
Commissioner Byrd made a motion that the Emergency
Supplemental Grant be approved for recommendation to City
Council. Commissioner Primmer seconded. Motion carried
unanimously.

Commissioner Byrd stated that she noticed many homes in need
of repair that could benefit from the City's Rehab program.

previously advertised in the water bills the availability of
funds for home repairs and asked if that could be done again.
Ms. Clark replied yes.
Commissioner Primmer stated that he has associates at RJLH
radio station who would do a public service announcement to
advertise fund availability for the Rehabilitation Program.
Ms. Clark stated that she would pass that information on to
the Rehabilitation Staff who would be contacting him for
further information.
Commissioner Alford stated that CDBG Commission meetings are
scheduled for 6:00 p.m., however tardiness has become a
problem. Therefore, all meetings will be called to order
