INTRODUCTION/PURPOSE:
The item is for Council’s approval of Resolution for the FY 2022-23 CDBG Request for the Luther Burbank ADA Restroom Facility.
BACKGROUND:
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds are administered by the County of Sonoma under the Urban County Entitlement Program. Sebastopol, along with six other cities, participates in this program through a cooperative agreement.
DISCUSSION:
A “Call for Projects” was issued for FY 2022-23 CDBG program and applications are due January 21, 2022. Typically, the first step in the annual process of allocating CDBG funds is for the Cities to make recommendations to the Sonoma County Community Development Commission which administers the CDBG program on behalf of the County. City recommendations are then considered by joint session of the Technical Advisory Committee (composed of City representatives) and the Community Development Commission for inclusion in the Consolidated Plan, which covers CDBG, HOME, (Home Investment Partnership Act) and FESG (Federal Emergency Shelter Grant) programs. The final approval of the Consolidated Plan is by the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors, based on the recommendations forwarded by the CDC and TAC.
The Luther Burbank ADA Restroom Facility is a project approved in the Fiscal Year 2022-23 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Council approved funding of $17,000 towards the design of the project with a commitment from staff to pursue CDBG grant funding for the construction. The application will request the full amount of $146,000 and includes contingencies for the project construction.
