the current year's allocation for street .reconstruction in order to reallocate the funds
to the Natatorium Improvement project. He stated that the City allocated funds to
the Natatorium several years ago and the money just sat there. Now, the building ifs
deteriorated and the City is forced to find funding to make the necessary repairs.
Commissioner Carr suggested that funding concernes should be discussed with nth
City Manager first or the matter could be discussed with City Council. 1

Commissioner Primmer stated that in the future the Commission should conduct'
follow up visits to the various projects that are approved for funding.

Commissioner Green agreed that visiting the funded projects was a good idea. He
asked why has'nt United Families of Lynwood (UfL) expended any funds this fi'scah
year.
Ms. Clark replied that additional documentation was required before the funds could
be expended.
Commissioner Green stated that the funds allocated to UFL should be reallocated `
to another organization. He stated that those funds could be used to fund a
citizenship program to assist low income Lynwood residents who cannot affort to
pay- for the citizenship process.
Commissioner Green stated that the funds taken from the Street reconstruction '-
project were needed there. The streets are a mess. Preventive maintenance
would help stop some of the deterioration. He stated that the streets and sewers
are so bad that there has been damage to his house due to sewer problems.

BACKGROUND: ~ ~~
The City of Lynwood conducts public hearings and meetings on several phases of
the Consolidated Planning process, which is part of HUD's requirements` ;for
funding. The CDBG Commission is requested to assist the City Council in
conducting public hearings and meetings, in order to:
1. Obtain citizen views
2. Assess and address housing and community development needs.
3. Participate in the development of proposed activities.
4. And review program performance.
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program:
CDBG funds are utilized by the City of Lynwood to carry out a wide ranges of
activities directed towards neighborhood revitalization, economic development,'ttie
improvement of public facilities, streets, sidewalks and alleys, as well as home
improvement and public services. i
,~
These funds are directed for use primarily by low and moderate income residents in
the City of Lynwood. The Department of Housing and Urban Development. (HUD)
requires that at .least 70% of the funds allocated to the City benefit low :and
moderate income residents. In addition, not more than 15% of the City's CDBG
.allocation can used to fund public service activities. No more than 20% can be
used for program administration.
During Fiscal year 1999-2000, the City of Lynwood expects to received $2,012;8

$301,929 will be available for public services. ':

- .Elimination of slums and blight and prevention of blighting influences;
- Elimination of conditions detrimental to health, safety, and public welfare;
- Stimulation of economic growth, development, employment opportunities ~ .
which will benefit persons of low and moderate income;
-Conservation and expansion of .housing stock for low and moderate income
households;
-Restoration and preservation of properties of special value;
-Development and improvement of public facilities which will contribute to the

areas of code enforcement, and/or selected community development target;areas
to maximum their impact. Target areas assistance are based upon low and:`
moderate income persons or the conditions of determination and blight. ~ `;
,.
APPLICATION REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
The City- advertises the avai{ability of CDBG and HOME funds and accepts
applications for funding during the months of December through February.
Applications received after the February deadline are not considered for review
unless it can be demonstrated that the request is of an emergency nature, o'r a; one
time opportunity that can not wait for the normal round of applications.
The City must assure that all activities funded with CDBG or HOME funds meet' one
of two National Objectives. The activity must:
- Benefit low and moderate income persons; or
-Aid in the prevention and elimination of slums and blight
t
.For an activity to meet the first national objective of benefiting. low and moderate
income persons, it must either have income eligibility requirements that limit, the
benefit of that project to low .and moderate income persons or the project must be
located in an area that is predominantly inhabited by residents who are persons of
low and moderate income.
For an activity to meet the second objective of removal of blight, it must be designed
to address the conditions causing the slums and blight. Generally, areas of slums
and blight are determined by the County, though activities designed to remove a
specific blighting condition can be considered. Activities that do not meet' one of
these two broad national objectives cannot be funded.
Below lists some of the activities funded with CDBG funds during the pasti few
years:
1. Code .Enforcement Program 7.
2. Housing Rehabilitation 8.
3. Truevine Homeless Men 9.
4. Project Impact 10.
5. St. Francis Child Abuse 11.
6. Fair Housing Foundation 12.
HOME PROGRAM:

housing to (ow income persons. The City received approximately $500,(
annually in HOME funds, and currently has approximately $3,000,000 in', HO.I
funds available for:
a. Property Acquisition c. Tenant-based rental assistance;
b. Rehabilitation d. Construction of New Housing '

e
E
i
i
i
