MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: TERESA MCCLISH, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
BY: KELLY HEFFERNON, ASSOCIATE PLANNER
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT
(CDBG) PROJECTS AND JIM GUTHRIE COMMUNITY SERVICE
GRANT PROGRAM ALLOCATIONS FOR YEAR 2018
DATE: MARCH 13, 2018
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Approving the 2018 CDBG funding allocations will help the City further its goal of
assisting persons in the community that have special needs, and approving the 2018
Jim Guthrie Community Service Grant Program allocations will assist local non-profit
organizations implement various public service programs that directly benefit Arroyo
Grande residents.
IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
The County has estimated that $76,200 in CDBG funds will be available to the City in
the fall of 2018. This estimate is equal to the final adjusted figure for the 2017 fiscal
year plus an approximate 1% increase. Overall, the amount of CDBG funding the City
has received over the last fifteen (15) years has consistently decreased due to Federal
budget cutbacks to the CDBG program. Similar to last six (6) years, the County will
help administer the CDBG program for the City which will reduce City staff time
involved. County staff will be paid through the CDBG program funds allocated to the
City. Per the Cooperation Agreement between the County and the City entered into on
July 11, 2017, 65% of the total administration funds, or $9,906 of the City’s allocation for
CDBG funds, will be deducted by the County to meet its obligations under the terms of
the agreement for administrative costs. Based on preliminary Council action on
November 28, 2017, it is recommended that the City not receive the remainder of its
administrative funds ($5,334), and instead allocate $1,000 for City administration with
the difference ($4,334) allocated to the recipients of the CDBG funds. Since 2014,
$20,000 has been allocated annually from the City Council budget for the Jim Guthrie
Community Service Grant Program (JGCSGP).
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended the City Council: 1) adopt a Resolution
approving projects proposed by the 5Cities Homeless Coalition and Family Care
Network, Inc. to be funded with the City’s allocation of CDBG funds for the Year 2018 as
shown in the table below; and 2) adopt a Resolution approving projects to be funded
with the City's Jim Guthrie Community Service Grant Program funds.

BACKGROUND:
As mentioned above, the City Council approved a Cooperation Agreement with the
County in July 2017 for the joint participation in the CDBG Program for fiscal years 2018
through 2020 (see Attachment 1). The City, as a participant in the Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) designated Urban County program, receives an annual formula-
based allocation of CDBG funds. These funds are available for a variety of Community
Development activities as long as the activities meet at least one of three national
objectives. The objectives are:
1. Benefit low- and moderate-income persons;
2. Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight; or
Item 10.a. - Page 2

ALLOCATIONS FOR YEAR 2018
MARCH 13, 2018
PAGE 3
3. Address urgent community development needs that pose a serious or immediate
threat to public health or welfare.
The County distributed a Request for Proposals (RFP) and notified the public that the
County and participating cities would accept applications for funding until October 20,
2017. In addition, County staff held a “Needs Assessment Workshop” on September 6,
2017 to gather input from the public regarding the allocation of CDBG funds. The
second CDBG public workshop to discuss the Draft 2018 Action Plan funding
recommendations was held on January 10, 2018 in South County.
On November 28, 2017, the City Council considered preliminary CDBG funding
recommendations and received public input. Council provided preliminary approval to
partially fund projects submitted by the Family Care Network and the 5Cities Homeless
Coalition (5CHC) as shown in the table above. These were the only CDBG applications
that the City received.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
The following criteria set forth by the County in the RFP are used to make funding
recommendations:
1. Consistency with Federal regulations and laws;
2. Community support (for example, approval of project by a City Council);
3. Seriousness of community development need proposed to be addressed by
project;
4. Degree to which project benefits low-income and very low-income families or
persons;
5. Feasibility of the project to be completed as budgeted and by December 31,
2018;
6. Cost effectiveness of funds requested and leveraging of other funds; and
7. Organization's experience or knowledge regarding CDBG or HOME
requirements.
The Cooperation Agreement between the County and the City gives discretion
regarding allocation of funds. Unless the City’s recommendation to the County for
funding is clearly in conflict with CDBG regulations, the County will approve the
recommendation. The County Board of Supervisors will make its final decision for
funding priority in the coming months.
Public Services
The competitiveness for public service funds, which is capped at 15 percent, has
historically been strong with requests far exceeding available funds. As discussed in
recent years regarding CDBG allocations, HUD has significantly increased its
monitoring efforts of jurisdictions participating in the CDBG program, which means that
Item 10.a. - Page 3
CITY COUNCIL
CONSIDERATION OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG)
PROJECTS AND JIM GUTHRIE COMMUNITY SERVICE GRANT PROGRAM
ALLOCATIONS FOR YEAR 2018
MARCH 13, 2018
PAGE 4
local jurisdictions must increase their monitoring efforts of recipients as well. As stated
in the Cooperative Agreement, only activities that can either individually or cumulatively
receive more than $8,000 in CDBG funding will be considered due to the staff cost of
processing such awards in compliance with federal requirements.
Because public service organizations are more aware of the stricter CDBG regulations,
as well as the funding opportunity through the City’s Jim Guthrie Community Service
Grant Program (JGCSGP), the City has received very few applications over the past
several years for CDBG funding. This year, the City received one (1) CDBG public
service application from 5CHC for a program that provides subsistence payments for
eviction prevention and security deposits (Attachment 2). This program would assist
those who are homeless and those at risk of homelessness by developing a housing
stability plan and providing short-term emergency eviction prevention grants or move-in
deposits. The program will be augmented by other services provided by 5CHC. The
total amount of CDBG public service funds that 5CHC has requested from local
agencies is provided in Table 2 below. Although the City would be allocating less than
$8,000 to 5CHC, the cumulative amount of CDBG funding to this agency would exceed
$8,000 according to County staff.
Table 2: 2018 CDBG Public Service Funds Requested from 5CHC
Agency Amount Requested
City of Arroyo Grande $9,000
City of Pismo Beach $4,000
County of San Luis Obispo $37,000
Total: $50,000
On November 28, 2017, the City Council provided preliminary approval to allocate
$7,294 to 5CHC.
Public Facilities
One of the City’s highest priorities is addressing Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
accessibility deficiencies. During the last several years, the City Council has allocated
the majority of CDBG funds to help pay for disabled access barrier removal projects
throughout the City. These projects include Hoosegow Park ADA improvements, mid-
block crosswalk ADA improvements, the Arroyo Grande Woman’s Club building barrier
removal project, and various barrier removal projects at the Soto Sports Complex. In an
effort to prioritize future ADA compliance projects, City staff is working to update the
City’s ADA Transitions Plan this year. In light of this effort, staff recommends that 2018
CDBG funding for ADA projects be deferred until this plan is complete.

Housing Rehabilitation
Family Care Network, Inc. (FCNI) submitted an application for $70,000 under the
housing rehabilitation category of the CDBG program to perform energy upgrades to
their existing facility located on South Elm Street (Attachment 3). This facility provides
much needed housing for youth aging out of the foster care system that are homeless
or at imminent risk of becoming homeless. The existing heating system of the facility is
highly inefficient, resulting in extremely high heating costs, some of which are passed
on to clients or otherwise shifted to the agency. The result is that funding is shifted
away from direct client services. The proposed on-site solar system would effectively
eliminate utility costs for this property, allowing funding to instead be spent on services
to ensure that participants successfully graduate from FCNI programs and move to
independence.
As background, FCNI was founded as a California public benefit corporation in 1987
and has facilities in both San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties. According to
their website (www.fcni.org), this agency has a 93% success rate, served 1,865 children
and families in FY 16-17, and allocates 89% of its revenues to programs. FCNI has
experience with using federal, state and local funding sources to operate programs and
complete capital improvements, demonstrating the capacity to implement and
administer the proposed project.
This project falls under national objective number one: “benefit low- and moderate-
income persons”, and is consistent with the Cooperation Agreement special provisions
Section IV(J)(1), which states:
To affirmatively further fair housing and implement the Analysis of Impediments
to Fair Housing Choice or better known as the Fair Housing Plan, the cities are
encouraged to contribute CDBG funds to affordable housing projects when there
is an eligible CDBG component in the proposal that is located within the city’s
jurisdiction.
Similar to the public facilities category, there is no funding cap for the housing
rehabilitation category. Although the City has not received an application for housing
rehabilitation during the last eighteen (18) years since the City joined the Urban County
CDBG program, the FCNI application illustrates a critical need that can be met through
the requested allocation of funds, meets the seven (7) criteria listed above to assist with
funding recommendations, and the agency has demonstrated the capacity to fulfill
CDBG project implementation requirements.
On November 28, 2017, the City Council provided preliminary approval to allocate
$58,000 to FCNI. Note that $4,334 of the City’s administration funds would be allocated

to the 5CHC and FCNI projects, and $1,000 would be retained for the City’s
administration of these projects.
Economic Development
The City did not receive any requests for economic development projects.
Area Benefit
Projects qualifying under the area benefit category are limited to a 30 percent cap
($22,860). Area benefit refers to activities that are available to benefit all residents of an
area that is primarily residential where at least 51 percent of the residents are low or
moderate income persons. In the past, the City considered efforts to eliminate slums
and blight, such as code enforcement activities to remove illegal signs and providing
funds for façade improvements, as valid activities. HUD determined in 2013 that the
City’s code enforcement and façade improvement programs are invalid based on the
lack of blight, and therefore these programs have been discontinued. The City did not
receive any funding requests for this category.
Jim Guthrie Community Service Grant Program (JGCSGP)
In response to CDBG funding limitations and restrictions, the City established the
JGCSGP in 2014 separate and apart from the CDBG program. This local grant program
provides $20,000 to eligible non-profit organizations that offer specialized social service,
educational, cultural, beautification and recreational programs and projects benefitting
Arroyo Grande citizens. Last year, the City received a total of thirteen (13) applications
totaling $36,100.
This year, the City received sixteen (16) applications totaling $56,850 (see Attachment 4
for applications). A six-member Community Service Grant Review Panel was
established consisting of one member from each of the City’s boards, commissions and
committees. This panel convened on February 1, 2018 to review the applications and
recommended to the City Council the funding allocations listed in the far right column in

These recommendations were primarily based on funding projects and programs that
directly assist individuals having the most critical need, specifically the need for food,
shelter and clothing. Other screening criteria included: whether direct support is given
to the clients (versus given to the agency for general administration); how many local
Arroyo Grande residents are served; perceived sustainability of the project or program;
existing funding base (are the requested funds necessary for the project or program to
succeed); and could volunteers and/or fundraising efforts accomplish the project or
program goal(s) in-lieu of the grant funds.
For reference, the City has funded 5CHC in the past through the JGCSGP for various
homeless related services as provided in Table 4 below:

FCNI received funds through the City’s JGCSGP as shown in Table 5 below:
Table 5: JGSCGP Allocations to FCNI
Program Year Amount Allocated
2015 $1,350 (purchase of a new 12-door
cluster mailbox)
2016 $500 (landscaping of their South Elm
Street property)
2017 $0 (no funds requested)
Total: $1,850
ADVANTAGES:
The recommended 2018 CDBG allocations fund important City priorities and are
consistent with the Cooperation Agreement between the County and City. The City’s
JGCSGP provides a funding opportunity, separate from CDBG, for local public service
programs that address unmet needs in the community.
DISADVANTAGES:
Providing CDBG funding to both 5CHC and FCNI requires these agencies to seek
additional funding to complete the projects as proposed. Because of the large number
of non-profit agencies that submitted applications and the total amount of funds
requested ($56,850) compared to available funds ($20,000), the recommended
JGCSGP funding allocations do not provide funding to six (6) of the sixteen (16) non-
profit agencies, and do not provide full funding for any of the projects or programs.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration:
1. Approve funding for CDBG and JGCSGP projects for the year 2018 as proposed;
2. Modify and approve funding for the CDBG and JGCSGP projects for the year 2018;
or
3. Provide direction to staff.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The allocation of CDBG and JGCSGP funds is not considered a project under the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA). Specific projects that may have environmental impacts will be reviewed under
CEQA and NEPA prior to implementation.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENTS:
A public hearing notice was published in The Tribune on Friday, March 2, 2018. The
Agenda was posted in front of City Hall and on the City’s website in accordance with
Government Code Section 54954.2.
