MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ROB STRONG, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR~
BY: TERESA MCCLISH, ASSOCIATE PLANNER$
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF A COOPERATION AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE
CITY OF ARROYO GRANDE AND THE COUNTY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO
FOR JOINT PARTICIPATION IN: (1) THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) PROGRAM, (2) THE HOME INVESTMENT
PARTNERSHIP (HOME) PROGRAM, AND (3) THE EMERGENCY
SHELTER GRANT (ESG) PROGRAM FOR FY 2003 THROUGH 2005
DATE: JULY 15, 2002
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council adopt the attached Resolution approving a
Cooperation Agreement Between the City of Arroyo Grande and the County of San
Luis Obispo for Joint Participation in (1) the Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) Program, (2) the Home Investment Partnership (HOME) Program, and (3)
the Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) Program for FY 2002/2003 through
2005/2006, hereinafter referred to as the cooperation agreement.
FUNDING:
It is estimated the CDBG allocation for the City beginning FY2002/2003 will be
approximately $150,000 or $450,000 over the next three years. The amount
estimated for the City is based upon the' City's characteristics relative to
population, poverty, and overcrowded housing.
DISCUSSION:
The cooperation agreement with the County would allow the City to continue
participation with the County and other participating cities for Federal CDBG, Home
Investment Partnerships (HOME), and Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) funding
programs.
Prior to the City's participation in the Urban County Program the City was
successful in obtaining both CDBG housing and economic development grants on a
competitive basis using specialized consultants.

STAFF REPORT: CDBG COUNTY CONSORTIUM
JULY 15 2002
Page 2
Under the State CDSG program, Arroyo Grande may compete for up to a combined
total of $800,000 per year, including $500,000 per application (up to two per
year) for General and Economic Development. This category is primarily for housing
and related public facilities.
With respect to the HOME program, the City, or a Community Housing
Development Organization, such as PSHH, can apply to the State for up to
$1,000,000 annually for affordable housing projects. The HOME program is an
annual statewide competition. Should the City continue in the San Luis Obispo
Urban County program, the City cannot apply for these grants. However, PSHH, or
a similar nonprofit organization can apply directly to the County to fund a project I
located in the City. I
I
I
The County Consortium receives a predictable, formula-based annual grant and I
I
there is a wider range of uses for the CDSG funds. County staff largely handles
administration of the program, but the City is authorized to use up to 20% of its
allocation for the cost of staff time if needed. The tradeoff is that the City will not
be able to apply, through a highly competitive process, for a potentially greater
amount of State administered funds during the term of the agreement.
Additionally, the Department of Housing and Community Development has not
certified the City's 2001 Housing Element as being in compliance with housing I
element law. This is an obstacle when competing for State CDSG grants (but not
HOME grants, which are applied for by the City's Community Housing Development I
,
Organization) . I
If the City Council decides to authorize signing the cooperative agreement, it must
be executed and transmitted to the County by July 18, 2002. I
A representative of the County staff will attend the July 15, 2002 special City I
I
Council meeting to respond to questions on the program.
i
AL TERNA TIVES: I
I
The following alternatives are provided for the Council's consideration: ,
I
- Approve the Agreement;
- Modify as appropriate and approve the Agreement;
- Reject the Agreement;
- Provide direction to staff.
