FOR THE COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 18, 2022
COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: City Council
FROM: City Manager
Prepared by: Director of Community Development
SUBJECT: REVIEW AND PRIORITIZE CDBG CAPITAL PROJECT PROPOSALS RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council reviews and prioritizes the Capital project proposals for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding and provides the Block Grants Advisory Committee (BGAC) and participating applicants with direction as to the projects that should be given priority for the upcoming funding cycle.
BACKGROUND:
This is the seventh consecutive year that the City Council has participated in the Capital fund allocation process by conducting a preliminary review of the proposed Capital projects prior to their review by the BGAC. This provides the City Council the ability to prioritize these potential projects before the agencies go through the extensive application and bid process. In addition, BGAC members will use the City Council's directives from this meeting as one of several factors to assist them in deciding the projects that will be recommended to receive CDBG Capital funding in 2023-24.
DISCUSSION:
The deadline to submit proposals for 2023-24 CDBG Capital funding was Wednesday, September 21, 2022. Staff received six eligible Capital project proposals. In addition, the City annually sets aside CDBG Capital funding to cover the administrative costs associated with managing the City's Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) program.
TBRA is funded through HOME, but since the City obtains its HOME funding through the County of Santa Barbara's HOME Consortium, the City cannot use any of that funding to cover the administration of the grant. However, CDBG Capital funding can be used to help cover the administrative costs associated with a HOME program.
The proposed projects and TBRA allocation currently total $1,654,529. While staff has not been told how much funding the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) will be provided to the City for the upcoming fiscal year, based on the current year's allocation, the City will probably receive approximately $1.5 million. Of that amount, approximately $993,000 will be available for Capital funding. This means that not all the proposed projects will be able to receive funding.
Aside from the City of Santa Maria's TBRA Administration allocation, the six proposals submitted include:
• CommUnify Safe at Home/Minor Home Repair
• Community Action Partnership
• Family Service Agency
• Good Samaritan Shelter
• People's Self -Help Housing
• VTC Enterprises
Minor Home Repair Program
SMV Youth and Family Stairwell Safety
Family Shelter Rehabilitation
LADM Rehabilitation and ADA
Accessibility Improvements
A summary of the proposals with staffs notes is included as Attachment A, along with the individual proposals which are included in Attachment B. Staff requests that the City Council prioritize the above -mentioned projects to provide the applicants and the BGAC with direction as to what projects should be funded for the upcoming fiscal year. Being that there is not enough money to fund all the projects, this process is an important step in properly informing the applicants about their chances of receiving funding.
It should be noted that besides the TBRA Administration allocation of $15,000, no other City department submitted a proposal for a City project. Not having a City project funded during the upcoming funding cycle will allow various City departments to complete previously funded projects. As noted in Attachment C, there are currently six City projects that are not yet complete. One was funded during FY 2020-21, three were funded during FY 2021-22, and two are for this current FY of 2022-23.
Alternative:
Rather than ranking the proposed projects, the City Council may select only a few Capital projects to continue through the Capital projects funding allocation process. However, this alternative would greatly limit the pool of qualified applicants and impact the BGAC's ability to vet the projects and conduct a more extensive analysis of each applicant.
Fiscal Considerations:
HUD has not released the amount of proposed CDBG Capital funding for 2023-24, but staff anticipates having approximately $993,000 available for Capital projects.
Impact to the Community:
The proposed action will have a positive impact on the community by providing interested agencies with valuable information that will allow them to make decisions on how to proceed in the City's CDBG application process.

3. Proposed Project Goal:
The Proposed Project Goal should be a brief summary that includes the location, amount of funding requested and a general description of the use that will be made of the funds.
CommUnify is requesting a CDBG capital grant in the amount of $75,000 to provide the Safe at Home program for two target populations who reside within the Santa Maria city limits: low- income seniors and low-income disabled adults.
For seniors aged 62 and above, the program will provide minor repairs, structural repair services (such as improved exterior lighting for security, extended exterior rails, handicap toilet installations, exterior ramps), installation of slip -and -fall prevention measures. CommUnify also proposes to offer non -emergency maintenance services to assist with upkeep of current senior occupied housing stock.
For disabled adults age 21-61, the Safe at Home program will install slip -and -fall prevention and other measures.
Safe at Home program goals for 2023 are as follows:
1. Provide structural modifications for 50 low-income seniors and disabled adults in Santa Maria
2. Installation of fall prevention measures to 10 disabled adult residents between the ages of 21-61 years
3. Offer non -emergency minor home maintenance services.
4. Project Description (Program Narrative):
Describe the project and provide information on how it will be implemented. Include information on how the project will meet the need.
Safe at Home provides simple home repairs, such as fixing broken windows, damaged walls or flooring, and minor electrical or plumbing issues, as well as installation of slip -and -fall prevention devices tailored to each client's need. The proposed program for Santa Maria will offer more significant safety upgrades per home in 2023, depending on each client's mobility or disability, which may include grab bars, specialized toilet seats, interior or exterior lighting, handrails and access ramps. The proposed program will serve 70 households in 2023.
Safe at Home serves seniors who are aged 62 and above and disabled adults aged 21-61. who live at or below 80% of the median income level as established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). While services are offered to renters and homeowners alike, this program predominantly serves homeowners who do not have funds for upkeep and maintenance. Many clients live in mobile homes that are raised off the ground, thereby increasing the risk of a fall when entering or exiting their homes, making the installation of fall prevention measures even more imperative. Of clients served in 2021, 65% live alone, 75% are women, 67% are aged 75 and above, and 74% are disabled.
Safe at Home consists of five phases:
• Outreach: Outreach is conducted via community events, print/television media, targeted https://ww zoomgrants.com/rapp2.asp?rfpid=4219&propid=417746 ATTACHMENT B w.
2/5
9/22/22, 10:11 AM Safe at Home
letter campaigns based on demographic information, and information to participants in other CommUnify programs.
• Intake: Following a pre-screening process that reviews client need, income and other factors, an intake process gathers key information and documentation, with staff members often providing guidance and assistance in obtaining needed information. • Assessment: Staff members assess each client's needs, and conduct a thorough safety and repair assessment of the home, which often results in referrals to other CommUnify programs or other agencies that can assist the client. Information gathered helps staff determines physical needs, prioritizing clients by age, disability and greatest financial need. • Repair/Installation/Inspection: Once a client's home is approved for field work, repair and/or installation of fall prevention measures typically begins within two weeks of the assessment.
Conducted by CommUnify's skilled and vetted contractors, installation and repairs take care of all issues identified at the time of assessment. All work is done in accordance with local municipal codes and is inspected upon completion.
• Evaluation: At the conclusion of field work, clients complete an evaluation survey that gathers feedback about the process, quality of the work completed, professionalism of staff and contractors, and how the repairs and installation of fall prevention measures have impacted their daily lives.
Safe at Home is operated on a continuous basis. Home assessments, repairs, installations, inspections, and evaluations take place on average over a two-week period.
5. Statement of Need: Provide a summary of the established need for the proposed project and the problems that will be solved as a result of the project.
Describe the target population the proposed program will benefit or serve. Include how the program will benefit low and moderate -income persons.
In July 2021, the Public Policy Institute of California reported that Santa Barbara County has the third -highest poverty rate in the state (20.7%), nearly equivalent to Los Angeles County (20.8%) and Yolo County (20.9%). Santa Barbara County's high ranking in this annual survey is due, in part, to the high cost of living and lack of affordable housing. These paired factors can destabilize the lives of all those in poverty, but none more than our local low-income seniors and disabled adults who struggle to keep up with rising costs.
According to the 2020 U.S. Census data for the City of Santa Maria reported:
• 10,580 seniors aged 65 and older, with 2,921 (28%) living below the Federal Poverty Level; • 4,986 individuals aged 18-65 identified as disabled, with 1,021 (21%) living below the Federal Poverty Level.
Because minimal increases to public benefit programs do not keep up with the high cost of living in our county, clients find themselves struggling to keep up with rent or mortgage, pay utilities, buy prescriptions or pay medical bills. Paying for minor home repairs or fitting their homes with basic fall prevention aids such as grab bars is simply not an option.
The National Center for Health Statistics reports that unintentional injury is the leading cause of death in the United States, and falls are the third highest cause of unintentional injury in all
ATTACHMENT B
https://www.zoomgrants.com/rapp2.asp?rfpid=4219&propid=417746 3/5
9/22/22, 10:11 AM Safe at Home
populations, with higher rates in the elderly and individuals living with a disability. Specifically, each year, 36 million falls occur among older adults aged 65 and older. One out of five falls cause serious injury such as broken bones or a head injury. Over 950,000 older adults are hospitalized because of a fall injury every year, most often due to a head injury or hip fracture.
More than 95% of hip fractures are caused by falling, and falls are the most common cause of Traumatic Brain Injury related deaths and hospital admissions. The Safe at Home program makes the homes of seniors and disabled adults safer and better equipped to prevent an unintentional, and potentially catastrophic injury caused by a fall.
Further, the Safe at Home program helps to delay or divert low-income seniors and disabled adults from hospitalization or long-term care which, according to Medicaid health providers, can cost taxpayers up to $7,000 per month per senior. Providing targeted and low-cost preventative safety measures through this program can help to realize significant cost savings to our public health system and enable low-income seniors and disabled adults maintain their independence and a higher quality of life.
In addition, at intake, Safe at Home clients' additional needs are assessed an, as appropriate, they are referred to other CommUnify programs such as Weatherization or Utility and Rental Assistance, thereby helping to stabilize and support individuals so they can continue living in their homes safely.
6. Proposed date of construction or project start:
The project is ongoing and is currently being implemented.
7. Schedule:
Please provide a list of major benchmarks in the development and implementation of the project, including funding commitment and completion dates.
For the 2023-24 program year, if awarded the proposed funding, CommUnify will provide services for a total of 50 clients:
1) Provide structural modifications to the homes of 40 qualifying seniors aged 62 and above living within the city limits of Santa Maria (no other funding commitment); 2) Of the 40 seniors served, we will also provide handyman services to 10 qualifying seniors living within the city limits of Santa Maria (no other funding commitment); 3) Install interior grab bars in the homes of 10 qualifying disabled adults aged 21-61 living within the city limits of Santa Maria (no other funding commitment).
These services will increase the ability of seniors and disabled adults to live safely in their homes and age in place.
8. Phasing:
Since funding is limited, describe phasing altematives if feasible. If this is a project which is
ATTACHMENTS
https://www.zoomgrants.com/rapp2.asp?rfpid=4219&propid=417746 4/5
9/22/22, 10:11 AM Safe at Home
phased or on which work has been done previously, please describe work done to date.
As each home repair and installation is a discrete, separate project that is typically completed within a 30 -day timeframe, phasing is not a factor in this proposal. If limited funding prevents the proposed request to be partially funded, CommUnify will consider creating a waiting list for participants, reducing the number of homes serviced, and/or delaying needed upgrades and repairs. The Safe at Home Program is one of only a few programs in Santa Maria offering such services at no cost to the client, which means that those served by this program typically have no other way to fix necessary repairs like broken windows and holes in walls, or to install slip -and -fall prevention measures. Therefore, placing seniors and disabled adults in need of these services on waiting lists or delaying service are not optimal options, as these repairs and slip -and -fall installations dramatically increase safety, security and quality of life for each client served, and ensure safe living conditions for our low-income senior and disabled communities.

3. Proposed Project Goal:
The Proposed Project Goal should be a brief summary that includes the location, amount of funding requested and a general description of the use that will be made of the funds.
This is a proposal to provide home repair services to low-income households residing in the City of Santa Maria. We are requesting $150,000 to make essential repairs or accessibility improvements in the homes of approximately 25 Santa Maria residents who are elderly, disabled or low-income families who othermake the repairs and who otherwise do not have the resources to make the repairs or improvements themselves. The goal is to enable these households to remain in their homes by making them accessible or providing other repairs to make the homes safe and secure.
4. Project Description (Program Narrative):
Describe the project and provide information on how it will be implemented. Include information on how the project will meet the need.
The Minor Home repair Program has been in existence in Santa Maria for 12 years and was an outgrowth of CAPSLO Senior Home Repair Program, which provides minor repairs for lower income seniors aged 60 or older. That program is limited in scope and can only accomplish smaller projects, like the installation of grab bars. After years of working in homes in Santa Maria, CAPSLO staff began noticing a growing need for larger repairs and improvements, like wheelchair ramps and lifts, bathroom reconfigurations for accessibility, as well as general repairs to plumbing, heating, electrical and carpentry. As a result, CAPSLO prepared its initial application and began providing services in the community once awarded the first contract. The program has remained in existed since then, has a steady and rising demand for services and is very well received by program participants.
This years application will be in the amount of $150,000 with a goal of reaching and assisting at least 25 households. The program implementation has several phases for each individual project. These include outreach to locate and identify needy and eligible households, enrollment to complete an application and provide income documentation and proof of ownership, assessment to determine the scope of repairs and develop individual project budgets, permit applications (if required), submittal of individual projects to City staff for review and approval, completion of construction work, invoicing and reporting to City of Santa Maria.
The completed projects may include some of the following types of work:
wheelchair ramps
wheelchair lifts
accessible showers (removal of bathtubs and installation of accessible shower) reconfiguration of bathrooms for access
widening doorways
handrails, grab bars
repairs to stairs, wooden porches
general carpentry
water heater and furnace replacement
minor plumbing and electrical work

9/22/22, 10:14 AM Minor Home Repair
All work is performed by CAPSLO employees working under our general contractors license (#623259).
Some of the benefits include enabling clients to remain in their homes as they age or deal with disabilities, improving health & safety in the home and allowing independence for vulnerable members of the community. Together, this helps prevent homelessness or placing people in the difficult position of deciding to move into a facility because their home is no longer accessible.
5. Statement of Need: Provide a summary of the established need for the proposed project and the problems that will be solved as a result of the project.
Describe the target population the proposed program will benefit or serve. Include how the program will benefit low and moderate -income persons.
Throughout the country, we are faced with an aging population and many of those elderly have limited financial resources. As people age in their homes, there is a growing need for support to deal with disability and limitations that arise. Likewise, there are also many disabled individuals who suffer from inaccessible homes and unusable bathrooms. Lastly, lower income,working families often do not have sufficient resources to be able to pay for needed repairs in their homes. The Minor Home Repair Program seeks to assist all three of these groups, the elderly, disabled and low-income households by providing an essential service at no cost so that they may may continue to reside in their own homes.
6. Proposed date of construction or project start:
July 1, 2023
7. Schedule:
Please provide a list of major benchmarks in the development and implementation of the project, including funding commitment and completion dates. 7/1/2023 to 9/30/2023 - Outreach, enrollment and assessment (this activity will also be ongoing throughout the project as long as their is funding available). 8/1/2023 to March 31, 2024 - Develop project costs, obtain permits,submit projects to City staff for review and approval
9/1/2023 to 5/31/2024 - Construction phase

Since funding is limited, describe phasing alternatives if feasible. If this is a project which is phased or on which work has been done previously, please describe work done to date.
This does not apply to the minor home repair program.

3. Proposed Project Goal:
The Proposed Project Goal should be a brief summary that includes the location, amount of funding requested and a general description of the use that will be made of the funds.
Family Service Agency of Santa Barbara County (FSA), doing business as Santa Maria Valley Youth and Family Center (SMVYFC) in North County, respectfully requests a grant of $17,250.24 to address a health and safety issue at our office location -105 North Lincoln Street. This project would allow for securing an external stairwell and preventing chronic misuse of the space by individuals not seeking services, and its use for illicit and personal activities including drug use, toileting, camping, and disabling the building's existing exterior door from the outside. These regular occurrences pose risks to our clients, staff, visitors, and any people walking near our parking lot or building.
4. Project Description (Program Narrative):
Describe the project and provide information on how it will be implemented. Include information on how the project will meet the need.
We will secure the stairwell to prevent unauthorized access. The safety repairs will include installation and mounting of new fencing materials, outer -frame, and enclosure top. This new perimeter and top will be secure and the stairs will only be accessible to FSA staff, clients, visitors. The stairwell is an emergency exit for those upstairs who are required to exit the building in case of an evacuation emergency. This repair will result in eliminating the risk for staff members, visitors, or passersby encountering unauthorized people at the stairwell or unsightly and potentially hazardous waste visible to all.
5. Statement of Need: Provide a summary of the established need for the proposed project and the problems that will be solved as a result of the project.
Describe the target population the proposed program will benefit or serve. Include how the program will benefit low and moderate -income persons.
Our staff based at 105 North Lincoln Street regularly observe and report people misusing the outside stairs —creating a health and safety hazard for our staff, visitors, and any people walking near our parking lot or building. With additional consideration of Chapel Park opening later in 2022, we wish to secure the stairwell to prevent unauthorized access as soon as possible. The stairwell sits in a blind corner and the stairs are open and accessible to anyone and are not sufficient to prevent unauthorized people from loitering on the stairs. Drug paraphernalia, bottles of fluid (often apparently urine), trash, clothing, cigarette butts, are frequently found. Other bio hazardous waste have been observed, such as used syringes.
Staff put themselves in jeopardy on a daily basis to cleanup what was left the night before. The agency has explored contracting with businesses who perform hazardous waste removal in hopes of securing an a routine schedule. This however is proving difficult and we require a more -permanent solution that will mitigate the risks to staff and clients who require regular access to the parking lot and must walk past the stairwell. We have instituted staff safety ATTACHMENT 6

procedures but not eliminated encounters with intruders. We have increasing concerns with the staff and clients who stay later in the evening for classes or to receive services after their working hours, especially after the Fall time change.
The target population of those benefitting from this project is primarily low-income, Latino/a, and at -risk. Last year, low-income persons made up over 90% of the more than 10,000 individuals served by our Santa Maria programs. Over 80% of clients were Latino/a and all were at -risk. This project will improve the health and safety of our Santa Maria site, allowing us to better serve at -risk youth, seniors and other special populations there, as well as creating a safer exterior environment for visitors and our neighbors.

3. Proposed Project Goal:
The Proposed Project Goal should be a brief summary that includes the location, amount of funding requested and a general description of the use that will be made of the funds.
Location: 1026 W. Boone Street, Santa Maria CA, 93458
Amount requested: $993,000
Description: Los Adobes de Maria I ("Project"), is located at 1026 W. Boone St. In Santa Maria. It is an existing 65 -unit apartment complex, built in 1995, it will continue serving farmworkers and farmworker families. The project recently closed construction financing and has commenced full-scale rehabilitation of the property. After securing contractor bids and adjusting relocation cost estimates with actual costs, we modified the budget and discovered a gap in the project budget. As a result, we are applying for an amount of $993,000 in CDBG funds to close the gap and secure the project against further budget overruns.
The CDBG funds requested will be used for the following eligible activities, Housing Rehabilitation and ADA Improvements.
4. Project Description (Program Narrative):
Describe the project and provide information on how it will be implemented. Include information on how the project will meet the need.
The project is a 65 -unit rehabilitation project with 13 two -bedroom, 34 three -bedroom, 15 four - bedroom, 2 five -bedroom, and 1 manager's unit serving farmworker households with incomes ranging from 0-80 percent of Area Median Income (AMI).
Rehabilitation work will include repair/replacement of appliances, windows, doors, flooring, painting internally, improvements to basic structural components, and repainting the exterior.
Accessibility upgrades and improvements and parking reconfiguration will also be included in the project scope. Each unit will have blinds, carpet, storage closet, coat closet, patio/balcony, refrigerator, stove/oven as well as central heating and air. On -site amenities include a community building which consists of a community room, kitchen, property manager office, laundry room, and classroom. The scope of work also includes the conversion of 12 apartments into flats to accommodate our aging farmworker population.
There is a separate laundry and mail room building to serve residents on the east side of the property. Outdoor amenities include a play area, tot lot, and basketball court. City of Santa Maria Bus service, Russell Park, and Santa Maria Public Library are located a mile from the site. A grocery, pharmacy, and school are located within a mile of the site. The project is
ATTACHMENT B

comprised of 12 residential buildings, 2 stories tall. The site accommodates 135 covered parking spots. The project building style is predominantly a Townhouse/Row House configuration.
The project will meet priority #3 Provide Affordable Housing. The property was originally built in 1995. The renovation of this property will improve the quality of life for the residents, will revitalize the existing neighborhood, and will preserve the affordable housing stock by increasing the life span of the asset.
5. Statement of Need: Provide a summary of the established need for the proposed project and the problems that will be solved as a result of the project.
Describe the target population the proposed program will benefit or serve. Include how the program will benefit low and moderate -income persons.
Target Population: Farmworkers and farmworker families.
There is significant demand for affordable housing in the City of Santa Maria. The market area has nine affordable multifamily projects with 0% vacancy rate and 1-5 year waiting lists. The newly renovated project will be an asset to the Santa Maria market and the demand for affordable farmworker rental housing. The program will benefit low to moderate -income persons because the project will serve farmworker households with incomes ranging from 0- 80% of the local area median income. The proceeds of the CDBG program will benefit extremely low to moderate -income persons by providing funds to do a substantial rehabilitation of the project, originally built in 1995.

3. Proposed Project Goal:
The Proposed Project Goal should be a brief summary that includes the location, amount of funding requested and a general description of the use that will be made of the funds.
The proposed goal of the Accessibility Improvements Project is to increase the safety, access, comfort, and service experience for persons served (individuals with physical and developmental disabilities) by VTC Enterprises at 2445 'A' Street, Santa Maria, CA. The amount of funding requested is $200,594.00 which will be used to replace or make improvements to walkways, ramps, and patio areas. Improvements will include widening of walkways and ramps, reengineering of walkways to prevent flooding and promote drainage, and construction of a weatherproof patio/waiting area cover.
4. Project Description (Program Narrative):
Describe the project and provide information on how it will be implemented. Include information on how the project will meet the need.
The Accessibility Improvements Project will increase the safety, access, comfort, and service experience for individuals with physical and developmental disabilities receiving services from VTC Enterprises by making facility improvements to include widening of walkways and ramps, reengineering of walkways to prevent flooding and promote drainage, and construction of a weatherproof patio/waiting area cover. The project will be implemented on a construction schedule to last six months or less and will meet the need for safety and access as described in Question #5 (Statement of Need).
5. Statement of Need: Provide a summary of the established need for the proposed project and the problems that will be solved as a result of the project.
Describe the target population the proposed program will benefit or serve. Include how the program will benefit low and moderate -income persons.
The target population of this project are adults with intellectual/developmental disabilities (I/DD) receiving services from VTC Enterprises. This project will benefit low and moderate - income persons in that nearly all persons served by VTC are unemployed or underemployed and are persons of low and moderate -income as defined by HUD. The need for this project is established in that VTC's buildings, constructed, remodeled, and updated since the 1960s, are connected by a patchwork of walkways, ramps, access areas, and patio areas. Current walkways, ramps and building access areas are less than ideal for individuals with physical disabilities. They are too narrow for individuals using mobility devices to pass by one another without one having to move into the grass, wait at the bottom/top of a ramp, or even regress back into a doorway. Walkways and patio areas are not covered, have settled/sunk over the years, and flood when it rains, further limiting access and causing hazards. Individuals must currently wait in uncovered outdoor areas for their paratransit rides, regardless of weather conditions (they must be present when the bus pulls up or miss their ride). This often leaves individuals waiting in their wheelchairs while a staff member holds an umbrella over them in both rain and excessive heat. Additionally, our redesigned post-Covid services and schedules
ATTACHMENT B
are much more individualized with individuals coming and going with increased frequency, waiting for rides, accessing facilities, and using walkways, ramps, and patio areas. It has been demonstrated in the past 2 years that outdoor spaces are inherently safer than indoor spaces.
Research continues to indicate that, "People with disabilities, including attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, cerebral palsy, intellectual and developmental disabilities, spinal cord injuries, Down syndrome, and other chronic health conditions such as HIV/AIDS may be more likely to get very sick from COVID-19 because of underlying medical conditions, living in congregate settings, or systemic health and social inequities." Services and Supports for Longer -Term Impacts of Covid-19 Report from the Department of Health and Human Services DHHS Covid-19 Report 8-2022. We desire to offer more opportunities for individuals to learn and congregate in outdoor spaces, which this project will help accomplish. Problems that will be solved as a result of the project are: widened walkways/ramps will allow individuals who use mobility devices to move about and pass by one another safely; improved/widened walkways will be re -engineered to provide adequate drainage and prevent flooding, keeping access open and safe; a covered patio area serving as the main loading/unloading point for local paratransit services will allow individuals to wait outside in relative comfort. The project will upgrade our facilities to match our post Covid services and allow us to continue ensuring services are provided in as safe a manner possible.
6. Proposed date of construction or project start:
May 5, 2023
7. Schedule:
Please provide a list of major benchmarks in the development and implementation of the project, including funding commitment and completion dates.
