On September 15, 2022, the Orange County Community Resources Department Housing and Community Development (OCCR/HCD) identified a subset of Orange County cities that had successfully spent previously allocated CDBG-CV funds. After identifying a remaining balance of CDBG-CV3 funding to be spent by August 2023, OCCR/HCD issued a request to determine if these same cities were able to utilize additional funding. At its meeting of November 8, 2022, the Orange County Board of Supervisors approved a solicitation of services. In response, staff is proposing the Stanton Family Resource Center Improvement Project. The Orange County Board of Supervisors will consider award of a contract at its meeting of January 24, 2023.
In response to the accelerated timeline to expend the funds, in anticipation of Board approval of award, staff is requesting the City Council review and authorize Resolution No. 202301 authorizing the City Manager to execute the agreement, contract and other documents to accept and participate in CDBG-CV3 funding.
Lastly, staff recommends the City Council appropriate $500,000 in the City’s Capital Projects Fund (#305) for the Stanton Community Center Improvements Project (Task Code 2023-603).
