City would continue to meet its water demands without exceeding its allocation; however, these

MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ROB STRONG, COMMUNITY DEVELOPM NT DIRECTORS
BY: JIM BERGMAN, ASSISTANT PLANNER
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION APPROVING
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) PROJECTS FOR
PROGRAM YEAR 2007.
DATE: FEBRUARY 27, 2007
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council adopt a Resolution approving Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) projects for Year 2007.
FUNDING:
The County has estimated that $108,354 in CDBG funds will be available to the City in the fall of
2007. This estimate. is equal to the final adjusted figure for the 2006 program year. CDBG funding
has incurred incremental reductions over the past four years and the amount officially funded may
be lower.
DISCUSSION:
On July 15, 2005, the City Council approved a Cooperative Agreement with San Luis Obispo
County for joint participation in the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. The
Agreement is for a period of three (3) years, 2006, 2007, and 2008.
The City, as a participant in the HUD designated Urban County program of San Luis Obispo
County, receives an annual formula based allocation of CDBG funds. The formula was developed
by the County utilizing HUD guidelines and distributes money to local jurisdictions based upon
three unequally weighted variables -population, persons below poverty level and the number of
overcrowded houses. CDBG funds are available for a variety of Community Development activities
as long as the activities meet at least one of the three national objectives. The objectives are:
1. Benefit low- and moderate-income persons;
2. Aid in the prevention or elimination df slums or blight.
3. Address urgent community development needs that pose a serious or immediate threat to
public health or welfare.
The County sent out a Request for Proposals and notified the public that the County and
participating Cities would accept applications for funding until October 30, 2006. Staff held a
"Needs Assessment Workshop" on September 25, 2006 to gather input from the public regarding
the allocation of CDBG funds. On December 12, 2006, the City Council held a public hearing and
established draft funding recommendations. On February 8, 2007, staff held a second "Needs
Assessment Workshop" to gain public input related to the draft funding recommendations. The

The Literacy Council- the Literacy Council for San Luis Obispo County was incorporated as a non-
profit in 1982. Our mission statement is to assist adult Learners and their families in the
development of English language communication skills. Our goals are: recruit and prepare
volunteers as Tutors in the delivery of quality instruction using a variety of approaches. Provide
individual and group instruction to Learners in reading, writing, speaking, and basic number skills,
thereby furthering the ability of Learners to function well in the community. Promote community
awareness and involvement in the literacy process. Our program serves all of San Luis Obispo
Cowtty. We operate seventeen learning centers located throughout San Luis Obispo County. This
past fiscal year 494 tutors served 623 learners with 14,706 hours of tutoring.
Locations of learning centers are as follows:
1. St. John's Lutheran Church, Arroyo Grande- Monday and Thursday afternoons.
2. Peace Lutheran Church, Arroyo Grande-Monday evenings.
3. St. Joseph's Catholic Church; Nipomo- Monday and Thursday evenings.
4. Central Coast Baptist Church, Grover Beach-Monday and Thursday evenings.
~. Atascadero Bible Church, Atascadero-Monday and Thursday evenings.

We provide free instruction to adults in reading, writing, and speaking English. We help both
English speakers that need to improve their reading and writing skills and English as a Second
Language speakers. We hold tutor trainings once per month to have a consistent and replenished
resource of tutors. At the California Men's Colony we train inmates to become tutors and provide
both CMC East and West learning centers with in-service trainings and books. Additionally, we
teach parents of children five and younger to read by utilizing children's books. ARer they have
2007 CDBG Application Organization: The Literacy Council
mastered a book, we teach them to read it to their children. We work with EOC's Head Start
Families. We have more than fifry tutors that work for us independent from any of our centers.
Literacy Council staff matches tutors and learners. Tutors and learners arrange schedules and
locations that suit their needs.
In Fiscal year 2005-06 our learners were:
413 Hispanic
29 Caucasian-non-Hispanic
67 Asian
10 Afro American
2 Native American
0 Pacific Islander
and 7 other
95 unknown
First languages were: English, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Russian, Polish, Farsi,
French and Italian.
The success of our program and projects are evaluated by tracking the number of tutors we are able
to recruit and train and the longevity of those trained tutors. Learners are assessed when they begin
in our program. We use the Slosson Oral Reading Test (SORT) for literacy learners and the English
as a Second Language Oral Assessment (ESLOA) for ESL (English as a Second Language) learners.
Leamers set achievable goals in the areas of: Home and Family, Work, Self, and Community.
Follow-up assessments are given to each learner determined by their individual progress through the
books and materials in their individual learning plan. Center Directors send in monthly student
progress reports. The progress reports are evaluated to determine the effectiveness of the
tutoring/]earning relationship. We assess the Leamers when they leave the program to determine if
they have progressed beyond their initial assessment and haw much they have progressed. We track
how many learners go on to adult education or junior college programs. We track learners that pass
a driver's test, GED, become citizens, become employed, and get better jobs.

15. Describe the need and the degree of urgency for the proposed project or program.
What would be the consequences if the proposed project or program is not funded in
the next year?
The need for literacy services in San Luis Obispo County is great and growing. The National
Institute for Literacy publishes adult literacy estimates. Their rating system uses 1 as the lowest
literacy level and 5 as the highest. The latest published data for our county is still 1996. It shows
that 17% of our population age 16 and older is at level 1- the lowest literacy level and 38% are at
combined levels 1 and 2.
The major consequences of low literacy are:
Welfare: 75% of food stamp recipients perform at the lowest two levels of literacy.
50% of adults on welfare do not have a high school diploma or GED.
43% of adults with low literacy skills live in poverty.
?007 CDBG Application Organization: The Literacy Counci]
Crime: 70% of prisoners perform at the two lowest literacy levels.
Continuing cycle: Children's literacy levels are strongly linked to the educational level of their
parents. The most significant predictor for children to have success i~t school is for the primary
caregiver to have graduated from high school or have a GED.
Children of parents who are unemployed and have not completed high school are five times more
likely to drop out of school.
Literacy is ofren the first step for a person to become a productive and contributing member of their
community. Better English language skills easily translate into better jobs and higher wages for our
learners. With better jobs and higher wages our learners become active productive participants in
their communities. Because our service is provided one-to-one or in small groups, our learners are
provided with the level and type of instruction specific to their unique needs. Our tutors are
prepared to help with such necessary skills as filling out job applicatiats, Teaming job specific
vocabulary, attaining a driver's license, preparing for the GED test, and studying for the citizenship
test. They are also prepared to teach parents to read to their children and to help teens improve their
English language skills. Ofren, a ntentoring relationship develops wherein self-esteem and life skills
are modeled and learned.
The recruitment, training and retention of volunteer tutors are expensive, on-going, and labor-
intensive efforts. We offer monthly tutor trainings conducted by Literacy Council staff Each
training graduates, on average, fifteen new tutors. The trainings are twelve hours over atwo-day
period. Most tutors work one-on-one or in small groups of two or three learners per tutor. This low
tutor-learner ratio builds bonds between tutors and learners and is an extremely effective teaching
strategy. However, it requires a large and constantly replenished pool of tutors, as well as, staff
support, books, and materials. Without ever increasing funding, the Literacy Council would not be
able to respond to the demand posed by the ever increasing number of individuals in San Luis
Obispo County needing to learn Basic English language skills.
Recruiting, training, and retaining tutors constitute one component of what the Literacy Council
needs to do in order to provide its services. The other crucial component is the assurance that each
individual that seeks our help can ultimately achieve the goal of reaching a literacy level that will
improve his/her overall quality of life. Consistent and new funding sources help the Literacy Council
provide the program, books, and materials to learners and to individuals on our waiting lists hoping
to be learners. The Literacy Council effectively serves all of San Luis Obispo County.
In order to grow and maintain the integrity of its program, the Literacy Council needs qualified,
professional staff to administer, create, and actualize a viable literacy program that affects every
community in our county.

For fiscal years 2004-2007, State funding for AFLP teen parent case management services has not
increased. State funding for Cal Learn services is provided on a case-by-case basis and is expected
to decrease as eligibility for program benefits becomes more stringent. The Federal Financial
Participation program funding received is dependent on particular activities performed for AFLP
clients as well as the percentage of teens enrolled in the program that are Medi-Cal recipients. This
funding is not guaranteed. Funding from the First Five Commission and Children's Trust Fund
previously utilized is no longer available. As a result the TAPP program continues to serve all
eligible teens with a significantly decreased budget.
d. Will CDBG funds be used to match/leverage other funds? List below funding sources
and amounts and identify award dates of these sources.
CDBG support of TAPP will be used to leverage other funding sources.
6. Does the proposed project meet one of the three national objectives of the CDBG
program? Please check one of the objectives below that apply to the proposal, and explain
how the project or activity meets that national objective.
a. X Benefits low- and moderate-income persons as defined by the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
7. If the projector program is designed to meet the national objective of providing benefit to
low- and moderate-income persons, please estimate the number of persons (or households)
to benefit from the project and break that estimate down by income group as follows:
a. Total number of persons or households who will benefit from the project or program:
305 Persons

12
Persons
c. Of the total number of persons or households entered above, how many will be
very low-income (earning 50% or less of the County median-income)?
293 Persons
9. Who are the clients of your organization?
TAPP clients include 305 pregnant and parenting teens, from the time they become pregnant
until they reach the age of 20 years for females, and 21 years for males. Seventy nine percent
are female and 21 % male. TAPP clients are low to very low-income teen parents; 78% are
enrolled in Medi-Cal and 14% are enrolled in the Cal Learn Program. Almost all clients would
be eligible for Cal Learn, but they are not interested in participating due to the negative stigma
attached to being on welfare. Approximately 71 % are Hispanic and 13% are monolingual
Spanish speaking. The majority of TAPP clients reside in the Northern and Southern regions of
the county.
A preponderance of enrolled teens lack a supportive family environment and many have a
history of being in the foster care system. Numerous clients have a history of learning
disabilities and problems with school attendance. Many of the teens' families have experienced
homelessness, as well as domestic violence and substance abuse.

EOC: Teen Academic Parenting Program (TAPP)
10. How do you currently collect demographic data on the beneficiaries of the
proposed project or program?
TAPP case managers collect demographic data on all teen parents enrolled in the program. The
intake forms, pregnancy outcome information, and six-month follow-up forms are recorded by the
Lodestar State database system. Standard client data collected conforms to the California
Department of Community Services and Development Data-Client Characteristics Report, which are
used to report demographic information to the State. In addition, special information such as school
years completed, school enrollment, infant birth dates and weights, job training enrollment, high
school graduation, post-secondary education enrollment, and employment status is collected (see
attached Exhibit B).
11. How do you currently document income status of each client?
Documentation of client income status is determined through client interviews conducted by the
case manager, as well as through assessment of financial aide programs the client is eligible for,
such as Medi-Cal, Cal Leam, the WIC Nutrition program, and the food stamp program. As part of
the intake process in each EOC program, client income status is determined using the federal
poverty guidelines.
12. How will the clients benefit from this project?
In addition to the valuable services offered which benefit clients detailed in question #3, TAPP case
managers assist pregnant and parenting teens in breaking the cycle of family poverty and child abuse
or neglect. Supporting teens with asset development strategies strengthens the teens' skill-base and
enhances their ability to become financially self-supporting.
13. Will the services offered by your organization increase or expand as a result of the
CDBG assistance?
a. What new programs and/or services will be provided?
Funds will be used to maintain current case management services and support groups.
b. Describe how existing programs and/or sen~ices will be expanded and what percentage
of an increase is expected?
Funds will be used to maintain current case management services and support groups.
14. Check any of the following eligible activity categories that apply to the proposed project or
program:

15. Describe the need and the degree of urgency for the proposed project or program. What would
be the consequences if the proposed project or program is not funded in the next year?
The TAPP Program was originally established in response to the significant increase in teen births in
our county, and the resulting gaps in services for pregnant and parenting teens. When teens become
parents, the social and economic realities can be overwhelming. Problems faced by pregnant and
parenting teens include isolation and loss of a viable social network; lack of transportation to school,
employment, and health and social services; lack of childcare; lack of coping skills; dropping out of
school; subsequent pregnancies; gang involvement; and use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs.
Substance abuse has its own associated risks such as poor pregnancy outcome, poor judgment and risk
assessment, and poor impulse control, all of which contribute to a greatei risk of harm to a baby.
Substance use during pregnancy can have long-lasting effects on the fetus, which can result in
additional canmuniry costs due to special education needs, support services, and inability to become
a co~atributing member ofsociery. Lack of parenting skills, low levels of knowledge of child
development and age appropriate expectations, ignoring indications when a baby is sick or
distressed, lack of positive role models for parenting, and marginal nutritional practices places these
teens' babies at an alarmingly high risk of abuse, neglect, ill health, and accidents.
The TAPP program has evolved into a highly effective case management approach which is caring,
flexible, and responsive to the needs of local clients and the communities in which they live. The
AFLP and Cal Leam programs have enabled TAPP to serve 303 parenting teens over the past year.
In addition, the services provided by case managers provide positive support and role models to the
children and other family members of the teen parents. Private donations also help fund this critical
program.
Increased competition for outside funding, along with the AFLP contract requirement for match
funding, demands that funding be diversified in order to sustain this vital program. If adequate CDBG
funding is not received, there will not be this financial support needed to serve the number of teen
parents we are currently receiving referrals for. We seek CDBG funding to allow us to reach every
pregnant and parenting teen in the county and help them to become better parents, complete their
education, and realize financial stability and independence.
16. Please describe the specific organizational method used to implement the proposed
project or program
The Economic Opportunity Commission of San Luis Obispo County, Inc. is a private nonprofit
community action agency providing critical services to low-income county residents since 1965.
TAPP was established in 1986 to meet the many needs of our county's population of pregnant and
parenting teens.
TAPP's paid staff includes a supervisor, administrative assistant, and seven social workers, three
of which are bilingual. Social workers provide case management services through one-to-one
meetings, home visits, school visits and weekly or monthly support groups. Each social worker
covers a specific geographic area of the county with two in Paso Robles, one in Atascadero, one
in San Luis Obispo and the Coast, one in the South County, and one at Lopez High School.
2007 CDBG Application EOC: Teen Academic Parenting Program (TAPP)
TAPP staff work closely with SLO County Departments of Social Services, Mental Health,
Health Department, Drug and Alcohol, and Probation. They also partner with the Children's
Services Network, the SLO Child Abuse Prevention Collaborative, and the Teen Pregnancy
Prevention Task Force.

9. Who are the clients of your organization?
TAPP clients include 305 pregnant and parenting teens, from the time they become pregnant
until they reach the age of 20 years for females, and 21 years for males. Seventy nine percent
are female and 21 % male. TAPP clients are low to very low-income teen parents; 78% are
enrolled in Medi-Cal and 14% are enrolled in the Cal Learn Program. Almost all clients would
be eligible for Cal Learn, but they are not interested in participating due to the negative stigma
attached to being on welfare. Approximately 71 % are Hispanic and 13% are monolingual
Spanish speaking. The majority of TAPP clients reside in the Northern and Southern regions of
the county.
A preponderance of enrolled teens lack a supportive family environment and many have a
history of being in the foster care system. Numerous clients have a history of learning
disabilities and problems with school attendance. Many of the teens' families have experienced
homelessness, as well as domestic violence and substance abuse.

EOC: Teen Academic Parenting Program (TAPP)
10. How do you currently collect demographic data on the beneficiaries of the
proposed project or program?
TAPP case managers collect demographic data on all teen pazents enrolled in the program. The
intake forms, pregnancy outcome information, and six-month follow-up forms are recorded by the
Lodestar State database system. Standard client data collected conforms to the California
Department of Community Services and Development Data-Client Characteristics Repor[, which are
used to report demographic information to the State. In addition, special information such as school
years completed, school enrollment, infant birth dates and weights, job training enrollment, high
school graduation, post-secondary education enrollment, and employment status is collected (see
attached Exhibit B).
11. How do you currently document income status of each client?
Documentation of client income status is determined through client interviews conducted by the
case manager, as well as through assessment of financial aide programs the client is eligible for,
such as Medi-Cal, Cal Leam, the WIC Nutrition program, and the food stamp program. As part of
the intake process in each EOC program, client income status is determined using the federal
poverty guidelines.
12. How will the clients benefit from this project?
In addition to the valuable services offered which benefit clients detailed in question #3, TAPP case
managers assist pregnant and parenting teens in breaking the cycle of family poverty and child abuse
or neglect. Supporting teens with asset development strategies strengthens the teens' skill-base and
enhances their ability to become financially self-supporting.
13. Will the services offered by your organization increase or expand as a result of the
CDBG assistance?
a. What new programs and/or services will be provided?
Funds will be used to maintain current case management services and support groups.
b. Describe how existing programs and/or services will be expanded and what percentage
of an increase is expected?
Funds will be used to maintain current case management services and support groups.
14. Check any of the following eligible activity categories that apply to the proposed project or
program:

EOC: Teen Academic Parenting Program (TAPP)
15. Describe the need and the degree of urgency for the proposed project or program. What ~sould
be the consequences if the proposed project or program is not funded in the next year?
The TAPP Program was originally established in response to the significant increase in teen births in
our county, and the resulting gaps in services for pregnant and parenting teens. When teens become
parents, the social and economic realities can be overwhelming. Problems faced by pregnant and
parenting teens include isolation and loss of a viable social network; lack of transportation to school,
employment, and health and social services; lack of childcare; lack of coping skills; dropping out of
school; subsequent pregnancies; gang involvement; and use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs.
Substance abuse has its own associated risks such as poor pregnancy outcome, poorjudgment and risk
assessment, and poor impulse control, all of which contribute to a greater risk of harm to a baby.
Substance use during pregnancy can have long-lasting effects on the fetus, H~hich can result in
additional community costs due to special education needs, support services, and inability to become
a contributing naenrber of society. Lack of parenting skills, low levels of knowledge of child
development and age appropriate expectations, ignoring indications when a baby is sick or
distressed, lack of positive role models for parenting, and marginal nutritional practices places these
teens' babies at an alarmingly high risk of abuse, neglect, ill health, and accidents.
The TAPP program has evolved into a highly effective case management approach which is caring,
flexible, and responsive to the needs of local clients and the communities in which they live. The
AFLP and Cal Leam programs have enabled TAPP to serve 303 parenting teens over the past }'ear.
In addition, the services provided by case managers provide positive support and role models to the
children and other family members of the teen parents. Private donations also help fund this critical
program.
Increased competition for outside funding, along with the AFLP contract requirement for match
funding, demands that funding be diversified in order to sustain this vital program. If adequate CDBG
funding is not received, there will not be this financial support needed to serve the number of teen
parents we are currently receiving referrals for. We seek CDBG funding to allow us to reach every
pregnant and parenting teen in the county and help them to become better parents, complete their
education, and realize financial stability and independence.
16. Please describe the specific organizational method used to implement the proposed
project or program
The Economic Opportunity Commission of San Luis Obispo County, Inc. is a private nonprofit
community action agency providing critical services to low-income county residents since 1965.
TAPP was established in 1986 to meet the many needs of our county's population of pregnant and
parenting teens.
TAPP's paid staff includes a supervisor, administrative assistant, and seven social workers, three
of which are bilingual. Social workers provide case management services through one-to-one
meetings, home visits, school visits and weekly or monthly support groups. Each social worker
covers a specific geographic area of the county with two in Paso Robles, one in Atascadero, one
in San Luis Obispo and the Coast, one in the South County, and one at Lopez High School.

2. Title/name/address of proposed project or program:
Senior Health Screening
EOC Health Services
705 Grand Avenue
San Luis Obispo, CA 93401
3. Please describe the proposed project or program. Include a description of the groups who will
benefit and an explanation of how they will benefit from the proposed project.
The Senior Health Screening (SHS) Program provides preventive and maintenance health
screening, education, and referrals at 16 senior-focused sites throughout San Luis Obispo County
to approximately 625 seniors, age 50 and over, per year. The SHS team, consisting of a
supervising Registered Nurse (RN) and aclerk/aide, brings equipment, supplies, and a portable
data management system to each site on apre-designated and advertised day of the month.
Screening includes: blood pressure, pulse monitoring, weight, hemoglobin, blood glucose,
cholesterol, hemoccult (to detect Colo-rectal cancer), and flu vaccines. Educational topics include
diet, exercise, lifestyle modification, reinforcement of medication compliance, identification of
medical home, appropriate use of hospital emergency rooms, and bereavement issues. Referrals to
other health, food, social and legal services are routinely provided. Clinics are held at local
churches, senior and community centers, senior residential facilities, mobile home parks, and other
locations where seniors already gather.
Although medically one of the most vulnerable segments of the population, seniors are ofren
reluctant or unable to go to a doctor or get advice about a physical problem or change. The
provision of competent, mobile health screening services, offered in a comfortable environment by
trusted staff at the neighborhood level, enhances the efficacy of the screening process. Staff
promote behaviors and activities that focus on reaching and maintaining optimal health and
2007 CDBG Application

stability, help identify possible health problems, and offer support and social interaction for
seniors.
The EOC Senior Health Screening Program is committed to ensuring that seniors have access to
services which maintain their health, independence, and quality of life and to avoid premature
and costly institutionalization. CDBG funding plays an essential role in continuing these vital
services to our senior community.
Specific SHS sites are:
• First Methodist Church, 275 N. Halcyon Rd, Arroyo Grande 93420
• Parkview Manor Apartments, 365 S. Elm St, Arroyo Grande 93420
• Hagan Senior Center, 5905 East Mall, Atascadero 93422

• Work Training Program, 2050 Parker St, San Luis Obispo 93401
• Senior Center, 2201 Eighth St, Santa Margarita 93453
Project milestones include:
100% of 625 seniors who attend a SHS clinic will receive one or more screening tests
(approximately 4,900) and appropriate education.
100% of clients with approximately 1,763 abnormal test results and serious health conditions
will receive appropriate referrals for care or treatment.
At least 390 referrals will be given to seniors for follow-up care or treatment. (Not every
abnormal result requires a refenal; many require education and counseling by the nurse on
lifestyle modification to remedy the abnormal results. The progress is then monitored in
subsequent visits.)

9. Who are the clients of your organization?
EOC: Senior Health Screening
Senior Health Screening's primary target populations are Medi-Cal and Medicare recipients, the
working poor, low-income residents, and other vulnerable adults throughout San Luis Obispo
County. Clients include battered spouses, the severely disabled, migrant farm workers, and non-
English-speaking individuals.
10. How do you currently collect demographic data on the beneficiaries of the proposed project
or program?
At the first visit of every calendar year, an information and demographics card is completed for
each SHS client. The data includes: gender, age, ethnicity/race, education level, family size, level
and source of monthly income, health insurance, disability, and homeowner or rental status. This
data is entered into a portable computer system taken to each site. Data requested conforms to the
California Department of Community Services and Development Data-Client Characteristics
Report which is used to report demographic information semi-annually to the State (see attached
Exhibit B).
11. How do you currently document income status of each client?
As part of the intake process in each EOC program, client income status is determined using the
federal poverty guidelines. Information is recorded in the portable computer data system.
12. How will the clients benefit from this project?
In light of the current climate of increasing health care costs and high cost of living on the Central
Coast, combined with a drastic reduction of health care providers, the regularity of SHS clinics is
one of the best forms of preventive health services available to county seniors. Increased access to
health maintenance and early identification of problems not only promotes independence and
quality of life, it also helps delay or avoid costly hospitalization or care. Additionally, clients are
empowered by the ability to advocate for their own health care. Such access enables this growing
population to weather the local health care crisis without experiencing financial ruin or neglecting a
serious health condition. These factors make SHS' reliable and cost-effective services more critical
than ever for this target population.
13. Will the services offered by your organization increase or expand as a result of the CDBG
assistance?
a. What new programs and/or services will be provided?
Because of reductions in funding in recent years, SHS has had to decrease the number of staff
and hours of service. This has resulted in the elimination of three senior health screening clinics,
2007 CDBG Application
EOC: Senior Health Screening
and reduced the capability to screen as many senior clients at some clinic sites. Therefore,
CDBG funds will be used to maintain current service levels. If adequate funding becomes
available, however, an additional 12N, glaucoma screenings, and three screening sites would be
added.
b. Describe how existing programs and/or services will be expanded and what percentage of
an increase is expected?
CDBG funds will be used to maintain current service levels.
14. Check any of the following eligible activity categories that apply to the proposed project
or program:
X Public services
15. Describe the need and the degree of urgency for the proposed project or program.
What would be the consequences if the proposed project or program is not funded in
the next year?
San Luis Obispo County is a popular retirement community and the senior population has
increased by 28% between 1980 and 2000. Numbering almost 57,000 in 2000, seniors comprised
] 5.4% of our county's population (U.S. Census). Of seniors age 60 and over, more than 3,000 live
at or below the poverty level and another 5,000 are considered low and very low-income.
The delivery of affordable quality health care is a serious need for local seniors living on fixed
incomes. Due to the current shortage of county physicians, many seniors do not have a regular
physician or, if they do, they are unable to be seen in a timely manner for conditions or concerns
that may arise. Many have limited options as to where they can ask questions about their health,
and medical problems can develop suddenly, thereby burdening our county's emergency services.
When seniors are poor, non-English speaking, or geographically or culturally isolated, access to
health care becomes more difficult for them and their families. Seniors who lack transportation
and access to affordable health care remain at risk for undetected health hazards or even life-
threatening conditions.
Basic health screening, education, and preventive care are critical to the physical, mental and social
well-being of our senior citizens, and SHS provides such care through early detection and
education. Without CDBG support, EOC's ability to maintain the level of these essential services
for county residents would be severely compromised.
16. Please describe the specific organizational method used to implement the proposed
project or program (single or multiple groups, public agency, non-profit, for-profit,
experience in operating similar programs, etc.):

EOC: Senior Health Screening
Since 1972, EOC Health Services has operated the only Senior Health Screening Program
throughout San Luis Obispo County. The EOC Health Services Associate Director oversees the
program staff consisting of a supervising RN and part time clerk/aide.
Senior Health Screening enjoys long-standing and productive relationships with city and county
governments, private agencies, and community coalitions. SHS is a primary source of referrals to
and from the County Home Health Program, Health Department, Drug and Alcohol Services,
Mental Health, and Social Services. Some of the collaborative partners that help coordinate
services and resources and cross refer for patient services include: Longs Pharmacy, Area Agency
on Aging's "Vial of Life" program, SLO County Library, HealthPlus Pharmacy, American Heart
Association, and the Senior Nutrition Program. Churches, senior centers, low-income housing sites,
and community centers provide free space for screenings. Senior Health Screening also
collaborates with volunteer hearing and vision professionals to provide specialized services, as well
as the Braille Mobile Van, SLONET Low Vision and Hospice Partners. Senior Health Screening
has a regular presence at area street fairs, health fairs and other community events. Additionally,
program staff serve on local committees in order to expand networking and collaboration.

2. Title/name/address of proposed project or program:
Senior Health Screening
EOC Health Services
705 Grand Avenue
San Luis Obispo, CA 93401
3. Please describe the proposed project or program. Include a description of the groups who will
benefit and an explanation of how they will benefit from the proposed project.
The Senior Health Screening (SHS) Program provides preventive and maintenance health
screening, education, and referrals at 16 senior-focused sites throughout San Luis Obispo County
to approximately 625 seniors, age 50 and over, per year. The SHS team, consisting of a
supervising Registered Nurse (RN) and aclerk/aide, brings equipment, supplies, and a portable
data management system to each site on apre-designated and advertised day of the month.
Screening includes: blood pressure, pulse monitoring, weight, hemoglobin, blood glucose,
cholesterol, hemoccult (to detect colo-rectal cancer), and flu vaccines. Educational topics include
diet, exercise, lifestyle modification, reinforcement of medication compliance, identification of
medical home, appropriate use of hospital emergency rooms, and bereavement issues. Referrals to
outer health, food, social and legal services are routinely provided. Clinics are held at local
churches, senior and community centers, senior residential facilities, mobile home parks, and other
locations where seniors already gather.
Although medically one of the most vulnerable segments of the population, seniors are often
reluctant or unable to go to a doctor or get advice about a physical problem or change. The
provision of competent, mobile health screening services, offered in a comfortable environment by
trusted staff at the neighborhood level, enhances the efficacy of the screening process. Staff
promote behaviors and activities that focus on reaching and maintaining optimal health and
2007 CDBG Application

stability, help identify possible health problems, and offer support and social interaction for
seniors.
The EOC Senior Health Screening Program is committed to ensuring that seniors have access to
services which maintain their health, independence, and quality of life and to avoid premature
and costly institutionalization. CDBG funding plays an essential role in continuing these vital
services to our senior community.
Specific SHS sites are:
• First Methodist Church, 275 N. Halcyon Rd, Arroyo Grande 93420
• Parkview Manor Apartments, 365 S. Elm St, Arroyo Grande 93420
• Hagan Senior Center, 5905 East Mall, Atascadero 93422
• California Manor Apartments, 10165 EI Camino Real, Atascadero 93422

• Work Training Program, 2050 Pazker St, San Luis Obispo 93401
• Senior Center, 2201 Eighth St, Santa Margazita 93453
Project milestones include:
100% of 625 seniors who attend a SHS clinic will receive one or more screening tests
(approximately 4,900) and appropriate education.
100% of clients with approximately 1,763 abnormal test results and serious health conditions
will receive appropriate referrals for care or treatment.
At least 390 referrals will be given to seniors for follow-up care or treatment. (Not every
abnormal result requires a referral; many require education and counseling by the nurse on
lifestyle modification to remedy the abnormal results. The progress is then monitored in
subsequent visits.)

9. Who are the clients of your organization?
EOC: Senior Health Screening
Senior Health Screening's primary target populations are Medi-Cal and Medicare recipients, the
working poor, low-income residents, and other vulnerable adults throughout San Luis Obispo
County. Clients include battered spouses, the severely disabled, migrant farm workers, and non-
English-speaking individuals.
10. Ho~v do you currently collect demographic data on the beneficiaries of the proposed project
or program?
At the first visit of every calendar year, an information and demographics card is completed for
each SHS client. The data includes: gender, age, ethnicity/race, education level, family size, level
and source of monthly income, health insurance, disability, and homeowner or rental status. This
data is entered into a portable computer system taken to each site. Data requested conforms to the
California Department of Community Services and Development Data-Client Characteristics
Report which is used to report demographic information semi-annually to the State (see attached
Exhibit B).
11. How do you currently document income status of each client?
As part of the intake process in each EOC program, client income status is determined using the
federal poverty guidelines. Information is recorded in the portable computer data system.
12. How will the clients benefit from this project?
In light of the current climate of increasing health care costs and high cost of living on the Central
Coast, combined with a drastic reduction of health care providers, the regularity of SHS clinics is
one of the best forms of preventive health services available to county seniors. Increased access to
health maintenance and early identification of problems not only promotes independence and
quality of life, it also helps delay or avoid costly hospitalization or care. Additionally, clients are
empowered by the ability to advocate for their own health care. Such access enables this growing
population to weather the local health care crisis without experiencing financial ruin or neglecting a
serious health condition. These factors make SHS' reliable and cost-effective services more critical
than ever for this target population.
13. Will the services offered by your organization increase or expand as a result of the CDBG
assistance?
a. What new programs and/or services will be provided?
Because of reductions in funding in recent yeazs, SHS has had to decrease the number of staff
and hours of service. This has resulted in the elimination of three senior health screening clinics,
2007 CDBG Application
EOC: Senior Heath Screening
and reduced the capability to screen as many senior clients at some clinic sites. Therefore,
CDBG funds will be used to maintain current service levels. If adequate funding becomes
available, however, an additional RN, glaucoma screenings, and three screening sites would be
added.
b. Describe how existing programs and/or sen~ices will be expanded and what percentage of
an increase is expected?
CDBG funds will be used to maintain current service levels.
14. Check any of the following eligible activity categories that apply to the proposed project
or program:
X Public services
15. Describe the need and the degree of urgency for the proposed project or program.
What would be the consequences if the proposed project or program is not funded in
the next year?
San Luis Obispo County is a populaz retirement community and the senior population has
increased by 28% between 1980 and 2000. Numbering almost 57,000 in 2000, seniors comprised
15.4% of our county's population (U.S. Census). Of seniors age 60 and over, more than 3,000 live
at or below the poverty level and another 5,000 are considered low and very low-income.
The delivery of affordable quality health care is a serious need for local seniors living on fixed
incomes. Due to the current shortage of county physicians, many seniors do not have a regulaz
physician or, if they do, they are unable to be seen in a timely manner for conditions or concerns
that may arise. Many have limited options as to where they can ask questions about their health,
and medical problems can develop suddenly, thereby burdening our county's emergency services.
When seniors are poor, non-English speaking, or geographically or culturally isolated, access to
health care becomes more difficult for them and their families. Seniors who lack transportation
and access to affordable health care remain at risk for undetected health hazards or even life-
threatening conditions.
Basic health screening, education, and preventive care are critical to the physical, mental and social
well-being of our senior citizens, and SHS provides such care through eazly detection and
education. Without CDBG support, EOC's ability to maintain the level of these essential services
for county residents would be severely compromised.
16. Please describe the specific organizational method used to implement the proposed
project or program (single or multiple groups, public agency, non-profit, for-profit,
experience in operating similar programs, etc.):
2007 CDBG Application
EOC: Senior Health Screening
Since 1972, EOC Health Services has operated the only Senior Health Screening Program
throughout San Luis Obispo County. The EOC Health Services Associate Director oversees the
program staff consisting of a supervising RN and part time clerk/aide.
Senior Health Screening enjoys long-standing and productive relationships with city and county
governments, private agencies, and community coalitions. SHS is a primary source of referrals to
and from the County Home Health Program, Health Department, Drug and Alcohol Services,
Mental Health, and Social Services. Some of the collaborative partners that help coordinate
services and resources and cross refer for patient services include: Longs Phannacy, Area Agency
on Aging's "Vial of Life" program, SLO County Library, HealthPlus Phannacy, American Heart
Association, and the Senior Nutrition Program. Churches, senior centers, low-income housing sites,
and community centers provide free space for screenings. Senior Health Screening also
collaborates with volunteer hearing and vision professionals to provide specialized services, as well
as the Braille Mobile Van, SLONET Low Vision and Hospice Partners. Senior Health Screening
has a regular presence at area street fairs, health fairs and other community events. Additionally,
program staff serve on local committees in order to expand networking and collaboration.

EOC Health Services
705 Grand Avenue
San Luis Obispo, CA 93401
3. Please describe the proposed projector program. Include a description of the groups who
will benefit and an explanation of how they will beneTit from the proposed project.
The purpose of the Forty Wonderful Program is to improve access to medical services, promote
early detection and intervention of chronic diseases, and reduce mortality for primarily low-
income, uninsured and underinsured women, ages 40 and over. Forty Wonderful provides
menopausal women with preventive health screening and education, including: Pap smears,
reproductive health exams; clinical breast exams; access to free mammograms; hormone
replacement therapy (HRT); cardiovascular risk assessment; colo-rectal screening; and
appropriate medical referrals. Education materials and counseling are also provided on specific
health concerns for this population, including osteoporosis; breast health; cervical cancer;
menopause; HRT; cardiovascular risk; and arteriosclerosis. Women who have not had a baseline
mammogram are educated and subsidized regarding follow-up screening and care. Women who
need annual mammograms, according to American Cancer Society guidelines, are subsidized as
well. Weekend screening days occur semi-annually to enhance access when funding and
reimbursement allow. A sliding fee scale is based on the patient's income; however, no one is
turned away due to inability to pay for services.

9. Who are the clients of your organization?
The Forty Wonderful Program serves women, 40 and over, throughout San Luis Obispo County.
The target population includes Medi-Cal recipients, Latinas, the uninsured and underinsured, the
working poor, and other low-income women.
10. How do you currently collect demographic data on the beneficiaries of the proposed project
or program?
Client demographic data is tracked through the "Practice Management System", collected upon
the initial visit and updated at each subsequent visit. Data collected includes: gender, age,
ethnicity/race, education level, family type, family size, source of income, level of income, and
housing status. Data requested conforms to the California Department of Community Services
and Development Data-Client Characteristics Report which is used to report the demographic
information semi-annually to the State (see attached Exhibit B).

2007 CDBG Application
EOC: Forty Wonderful Program
I1. Ho~v do you currently document income status of each client?
As part of the intake process in each EOC program, client income status is determined using the
federal poverty guidelines.
12. How will the clients benefit from this project?
EOC Health Services is the only clinic in the county tha! prorides free menopausal services for
ia~omen in need. Forty Wonderful fills a large void in preventive health care so that low-income
women in this vulnerable age group can access medical care before a serious and potentially life-
threatening condition occurs. And with fewer medical facilities and fewer physicians, which result
in a population with even fewer health-care options, these services become a critical safety net.
Early detection and prevention not only reduce the mortality rates of cancer and chronic diseases,
they are also relatively inexpensive compared to the costs of an advanced disease. With routine
Pap test screening, 73% of all cervical cancers are diagnosed in the earliest, curable stages. Breast
cancer screening and early detection and treatment of noninvasive carcinomas in the early stages
of invasive carcinoma often prevent metastasis. Appropriate HRT helps prevent osteoporosis
which affects 20 million people in the United States each year, with costs of hip fractures alone at
$600 million annually. So it is imperative that these services are available and affordable to non-
contracepting women in the county. Further, many of the women in this population are part of the
"sandwich generation"; they are caring for elderly parents as well as their own children. With these
additional responsibilities, their personal health issues often become a lower priority as they put
family needs ahead of their own.
13. Will the services offered by your organization increase or expand as a result of the CDBG
assistance?
a. What new programs and/or services will be provided?
CDBG funds will be used to maintain current service levels.
b. Describe how existing programs and/or services will be expanded and what percentage of
an
increase is expected?
CDBG funds will be used to maintain current service levels.
14. Check any of the following eligible activity categories that apply to the proposed project
or program: (Refer to CDBG regulations and the Guide to Elieible CDBG Activities).
X Public services
?007 CDBG Application
I5. Describe the need and the degree of urgency for the proposed project or program. What
would be the consequences if the proposed project or program is not funded in the next year?
Since the aging process is a contributing factor in the risk of breast and cervical cancer, screening
exams become vital as a woman ages. With early access to reproductive health-care and
diagnosis of a problem, financially and emotionally costly treatment can be avoided. Annual
mammography can detect a lump as much as two years before it can be felt, increasing the
probability of a woman's survival. Yet, breast cancer patients with low-incomes experience lower
5-year relative survival rates than higher income patients! State of California data suggests that
much of the difference in survival rates between cancer patients with low socioeconomic status
and those in higher income brackets is due to late diagnosis. Unfortunately, breast and cervical
cancer symptoms occur late in the disease process, so early screening greatly enhances the cure
rate and reduces the ultimate treatment costs.
Without CDBG support, EOC's ability to maintain the level of this essential health care service
for low-income perimenopausal women would be severely compromised.
16. Please describe the speciTic organizational method used to implement the proposed
project or program.
The Forty Wonderful Program is part of the EOC Health Services Division. Nurse practitioners
provide the medical care and education at both clinic sites. These medical providers are highly
sensitive to the special concerns of older women and are aware of the impact of socioeconomic
status. A case manager provides support and follow-up with clients. Again, data is collected
through the Practice Management System.
Collaborators include the State of California's Cancer Detection Program, Health Plus Pharmacy,
French Hospital Medical Center, Arroyo Grande Hospital, and the Templeton Imaging Center.

housing status. Data requested conforms to the California Department of Community Services
and Development Data-Client Chazacteristics Report which is used to report the demographic
information semi-annually to the State (see attached Exhibit B).
?007 CDBG Application
EOC: Forty Wonderful Program
11. How do you currently document income status of each client?
As part of the intake process in each EOC program, client income status is determined using the
federal poverty guidelines.
12. How will the clients benefit from this project?
EOC Health Services is the only clinic in the county that provides free menopausal services for
women in need Forty Wonderful fills a large void in preventive health care so that low-income
women in this vulnerable age group can access medical caze before a serious and potentially life-
threatening condition occurs. And with fewer medical facilities and fewer physicians, which result
in a population with even fewer health-care options, these services become a critical safety net.
Early detection and prevention not only reduce the mortality rates of cancer and chronic diseases,
they are also relatively inexpensive compared to the costs of an advanced disease. With routine
Pap test screening, 73% of all cervical cancers are diagnosed in the earliest, curable stages. Breast
cancer screening and early detection and treatment of noninvasive carcinomas in the early stages
of invasive carcinoma ofen prevent metastasis. Appropriate HRT helps prevent osteoporosis
which affects 20 million people in the United States each year, with costs of hip fractures alone at
$600 million annually. So it is imperative that these services are available and affordable to non-
contracepting women in the county. Further, many of the women in this population aze part of the
"sandwich generation"; they are caring for elderly parents as well as their own children. With these
additional responsibilities, their personal health issues often become a lower priority as they put
family needs ahead of their own.
13. Will the services offered by your organization increase or expand as a result of the CDBG
assistance?
a. What new programs and/or services will be provided?
CDBG funds will be used to maintain current service levels.
b. Describe how existing programs and/or services will be expanded and what percentage of
an
increase is expected?
CDBG funds will be used to maintain current service levels.
14. Check any of the following eligible activity categories that apply to the proposed project
or program: (Refer to CDBG regulations and the Guide to Eligible CDBG Activities).

2007 CDBG Application
EOC: Forty Wonderful Program
15. Describe the need and the degree of urgency for the proposed project or program. What
would be the consequences if the proposed project or program is not funded in the next year?
Since the aging process is a contributing factor in the risk of breast and cervical cancer, screening
exams become vital as a woman ages. With early access to reproductive health-care and
diagnosis of a problem, financially and emotionally costly treatment can be avoided. Annual
mammography can detect a lump as much as two years before it can be felt, increasing the
probability of a woman's survival. Yet, breast cancer patients with low-incomes experience lower
5-year relative survival rates than higher income patients! State of California data suggests that
much of the difference in survival rates between cancer patients with low socioeconomic status
and those in higher income brackets is due to late diagnosis. Unfortunately, breast and cervical
cancer symptoms occur late in the disease process, so early screening greatly enhances the cure
rate and reduces the ultimate treatment costs.
Without CDBG support, EOC's ability to maintain the level of this essential health care service
for low-income perimenopausal women would be severely compromised.
16. Please describe the specific organizational method used to implement the proposed
project or program.
The Forty Wonderful Program is part of the EOC Health Services Division. Nurse practitioners
provide the medical care and education at both clinic sites. These medical providers are highly
sensitive to the special concerns of older women and are aware of the impact of socioeconomic
status. A case manager provides support and follow-up with clients. Again, data is collected
through the Practice Management System.
Collaborators include the State of California's Cancer Detection Program, Health Plus Pharmacy,
French Hospital Medical Center, Arroyo Grande Hospital, and the Templeton Imaging Center.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of SLO county provides mentors to children between the ages of 6 and 16
who live within the county of San Luis Obispo. The vast majority of children in our program come
from low to very low income single pazent homes.
In our Consmunity Based program, serving children throughout the county of San Luis Obispo,
children aze matched with an adult mentor who commits to spend 6-8 hours a month for a minimum
of one yeaz interacting with the child doing activities they both enjoy. Having a consistent
responsible adult in the life of a young person makes that child feel important and valued. Based on
the data we collect from our clients 87% of pazents reported their child's self confidence increased.
When a child's self confidence increases and they feel better overall all sorts of positive changes start
to occur. 77% increased their grades. 82% improved their classroom behavior, 77% were better able
to avoid substance abuse, 75% showed more respect for other cultures, and 77% improved their
relationships with other children.
Our School Based program called Higli School Bigs uses San Luis Obispo High School students as
mentors that meet with the students of Sinsheimer Elementary for one hour a week afrer school on
the Sinsheimer campus in San Luis Obispo.
For our High School B7QS program we:
• Promote our services to azea schools and work with those who express an interest in setting
up the program in their school.
• Recruit high school students to act as mentors. This is done primazily through bulletin
announcements, referrals from career counselors and staffing of a booth during lunch time to
provide information about our program.
• Screen and interview potential "Bigs". Interviews with the high school students are done on
the campus of the high school. We also acquire 4 references as a way to verify
appropriateness for the program.
• Provide a training class for potential "Bigs" at the high school in which child development,
active listening, and ground rules are outlined.
• Screen and interview potential "Littles" at the elementary school chosen for the program by
school staff.
2007 CDBG Application Organization: Big Brothers Bi¢ Sisters of SLO County
• Provide safety materials and training to potential "Littles".
• Introduce the Big and Little to form a match. During the first meeting a Matclr Meeting is
held in which parties are introduced and an ice breaker is conducted to help Bigs and Littles
get to know each other.
• Provide activities and supervision during the weekly meeting times. The Matches meet
weekly at Sinsheimer after school. BBBS provides two staff members to supervise at all
times.
• Evaluate the results of the program through surveys completed by the teacher, Little and Big.
For our Community Based Program we:
• Recruit adult Big Brothers and Big Sisters. This is done through a variety of activities
including, but not limited to, announcements on local radio stations, tabling at community
events, farmers mazkets, craft fairs, speaking engagements at service clubs and churches, and
through word of mouth.
• Screen and interview potential Bigs through an in depth in person interview, a thorough
background check including, the national sex offender public registry, live-scan
fingerprinting, the local sheriffs report, DMV record, national criminal file, and 3 or more
references.
• Provide a 3 hour training class in which we orient potential Bigs to our program, provide
child development information, teach active listening skills, provide information on cultural
sensitivity, and suggestions on what to do with a Little.
• Interview potential Littles through an in depth and in person interview with the child and
their guazdian. During this interview we review safety materials and provide booklets to
both the child and their guazdian.
• Monthly contact is made with the children on the wait list until we can find them a mentor.
Quarterly program activities aze provided, such a holiday party with gifts, attendance at a
ballet performance, a Blues baseball game, or a race at the Santa Maria Speedway.
• Information gleaned from the interviews help us to determine which potential Bigs and
Littles should be matched. We then host a match meeting, usually held at the home of the
Big, in which we introduce the Big to the Little and pazent. During this meeting contracts aze
signed and icebreaker activities are provided to start the relationship off on a comfortable
footing.
2007 CDBG Application Organization: Big Brothers Bie Sisters of SLO County
Bigs, Littles and parents aze contacted two weeks following the initial match meeting,
monthly for the first year of the match, and quarterly thereafrer to support the relationship,
ensure child safety and verify satisfaction with the program.
Bi monthly program activities are organized for matched Bigs and Littles, such as a Holiday
party with gifrs, two Big and Little camping trips, an afremoon at the Cal Poly organic farm,
and more.
The results of our program aze evaluated annually and at the close of every match through a
survey developed by our national office. These surveys are completed by both the Parent and
the Big.

15. Describe the need and the degree of urgency for the proposed project or program.
What would be the consequences if the proposed project or program is not funded in
the next year?
Local statistics indicate that the number of SLO County children living in low-income, single-pazent
households is increasing, as is the number of children entering the Juvenile Justice System. Our
ability to reach more of these "at risk" youth hinges on the amount of funding support we can
generate.
16. Please describe the specific organizational method used to implement the proposed
project or program (single or multiple group, public agency, non-profit, for-profit,
experience in operating. similar programs, etc.):
Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Luis Obispo County uses the Brand NeN~ Thrrzking Service Delivery
A1ode1 provided to us by Big Brothers Big Sisters of America in 2003. This model streamlines all of
our paperwork, interview process, training, and background screening processes so that volunteers

will benefit and an explanation of how they will benefit from the proposed project or program.
For projects, describe the location of the project (be as specific as possible, e.g. street address).
For programs, state the location from which the program will be operated and/or describe the
geographic area served by the program. Also, please include a schedule of project/program
milestones.
a.) Program Need
There are an increasing number of older people in San Luis Obispo County: in the 2000
U.S. Census, seniors comprised 11.4% of the population or 28,500 people; it is projected
that by 2010, the senior population will rise to 16%. Many of the elderly age 65 are at or
below the federal poverty line. Some are homebound and unable to attend events in the
community and at local senior centers. For such seniors, a Caring Caller may be the only
source of social and emotional contact. The contact that a Caring Caller provides adds
meaning to a client's life and may postpone or eliminate the need for institutionalization.
Our focus is to enable our clients to maintain a maximum level of independence and
personal dignity, one of the primary goals of the Older Americans Act.
In addition, our clients may also need other public services. We are able to assist them in
linking up with such services as travel to medical appointments, therapy, the County's Adult
Protective Services Division, Linkages, and in-home supportive services. In some cases
when our clients need transportation (found by the Healthy Community Survey to be one of
the highest ranked needs in the County), a Caller can help meet that need.
b.) Program Operation
Caring Callers, sponsored by the Wilshire Foundation, has been in operation for 25 years; it
is headquartered in San Luis Obispo. The Director recruits and supervises approximately
110 volunteers who visit clients throughout San Luis Obispo County. Each volunteer is
matched with a client and agrees to visit the client for a minimum of one hour per week on
a regular basis. All volunteers must complete an orientation before beginning to visit clients,
and each client receives an assessment before visitation begins. "Matches' are made by
the Program Director according to personalities, interests, location and availability. The
Program's volunteers come from all age groups and walks of life: they are homemakers,
students, teachers, lawyers, business people, nurses and retired seniors. Background
checks are performed for all volunteers along with a DMV record review.
2007 CDBG Application Organization: Wilshve Foundation Inc.-Carine Callers
c) Geographic Areas Served by the Program
Our Clients are located throughout San Luis Obispo County. During the past year, we
served the following number of clients in each locality:
San Luis Obispo; 31; Paso Robles: 17; Arroyo Grande: 13; Pismo Beach: 9; Grover Beach
9; Nipomo: 7; Templeton: 6; Los Osos: 5; Morro Bay: 7; Atascadero: 5; Cayucos: 3;
Oceano: 1;
There is always a waiting list for a Caring Caller in each of these communities.
d) Who will benefit and how they benefit
Low income people over age 60' who live in isolated conditions will benefit from the visits
of Caring Callers. The Program is designed to stimulate and enhance the social activities of
a frail, lonely and mostly isolated population. The mental and social stimulation that our
clients are missing due to lack of social/family support is provided by a Caring Callers
Volunteer during a weekly visit. During that time, the pair may chat, play cards or board
games, take walks and drives or go shopping. The caller may also provide transportation to
doctors' appointments or therapy sessions.
• Our 2006 Client data show that we that we provided 5390 hours of services to:
• 94 Seniors age 75+
• 54 Seniors age 85+
110 Total Number of Seniors, of whom 24 were new this year
e) Collaboration with Other Agencies
The Caring Callers Program works closely with and receives referrals from the following
agencies: Senior Information and Referral, the County's In-Home Supportive Services
Program, Hospice of SLO, Senior Peer Counseling, and home health agencies. Also, we
refer our clients to other agencies. During the initial Caring Callers' intake process, an
attempt is made to identify any client need that another agency could meet. The referral is
discussed with the client and if she/he agrees, a release form is signed and the referral is
made. -
Caring Callers and Senior Peer Counseling are providing a continuum of care for seniors,
which will hopefully, build a client base for both programs that give seniors a more cohesive
support system throughout the county.
Program staff attends monthly meetings with like agencies such as the Adult Abuse
Prevention Council, the Financial Abuse Specialist Team of SLO County, Senior Peer
Counseling, Human Services Community Council; United Way, Disaster Planning Group of
SLO County. These groups collaborate by developing plans to serve senior residents, to
expand services, and to solve pressing needs.
2007 CDBG Application Organization: Wilshire Foundation, Inc.- Carine Callers
Caring Callers is an integral part of the community-based, long-term care system in San
Luis Obispo County, working cooperatively with home health agencies, hospital discharge
planners, home-delivered meal programs and the various County departments that serve
the elderly.
f) Outcome Measures
Outcomes are measured by collecting data. This is done by volunteers' reports to the
Director on the hours of services they provide and by and professional judgment. An annual
survey is mailed to clients asking how the Program has enhanced the client's life and how
satisfied they are with the service. Clients (73%) stated that their "Caring Caller brings an
element of "renewed spirit" and that they value "having someone and something to look
forward to in the future".
g) Milestones
This fall, we plan to have each volunteer ("Caring Caller") distribute a personalized disaster
survival kit to their clients throughout the County. The Program Director is completing a
CERT training and belongs to a Disaster Preparedness Council made up of non-profits in
the county, and headed up by HOTLINE. This will be an ongoing activity. We continue to
use the resources of the Braille Institute to bring a hew avenue of enjoyment to visually
impaired clients.
h) New components
Our brochure was translated into Spanish this fall and will be distributed throughout the
County during the year. We will also have each client receive a holiday gift this year,
provided by a community program that provides this service each year. This is in
conjunction with a motorcycle club that annually delivers shopping gift certificates to a
select group of socially isolated individuals.

c. How do you plan to fund the operation and maintenance costs (if any) associated with this
project? Are these fixnds available now? If not, when will they be available? And from
what source(s)?
All funding is not available at the start of our program year. We hope to balance the budget
by the end of the year by fund raising and other grant writing.
d. Will CDBG funds be used to match/leverage other funds? List below funding sources and
amounts and identify award dates of these sources.
Yes, other sources of funding look at our Budget to determine if we are being supported by
our local community and that we are seen as valuable to our elderly population.
Please see # 4 above for other sources of funding
6. Does the proposed project or activity meet one of the three national objectives of the
CDBG program? Please check one of the objectives below that applies to the '
proposal, and explain how the project or activity meets that national objective.
a. X Benefits low- and moderate-income persons as defined by the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
NOTE: To meet this national objective, the proposed activity must benefit a specific
clientele or residents in a particular area of the County or participating city, at least 51
percent of who are low- and moderate-income persons. See current income limit
schedule in the Request for Proposals.
b. Aids in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight.
NOTE: To meet this national objective, the proposed activity must be within a designated
slum or blighted area and must be designed to address one or more conditions that
contributed to the deterioration of the azea.
c. Meets community development needs having a particular urgency where existing
conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community,
and no other funding sources are available.
NOTE: To meet this national objective, the proposed activity must deal with major
catastrophes or emergencies such as floods or earthquakes.
If the project or program is designed to meet the national objective of
providing benefit to low- and moderate-income persons, please estimate the
number of persons (or households) to benefit from the project and break that
estimate down by income.group as follows:
2007 CDBG Application Organization: Wilshire Foundation, Inc.- Caring Callers
a. Total number of persons or households who will benefit from the project or
program (regazdless of income group):
120 Persons/households (circle the applicable unit)
b. Of the total number of persons or households entered above, how many will be
low-income (earning 51 % - 80% or less of the County median-income)?
29% Persons/households (circle the applicable unit)
c. Of the total number of persons or households entered above, how many will be
very low-income (eaming 50% or less of the County median-income)?
71% Persons/households (circle the applicable unit)
8. Please provide the following information regarding the number of persons/households who
will directly benefit from the funding requested in this application.
a. Total number of persons or households who will directly benefit from the
CDBG funds (regardless of income group):
120 Persons households (circle the applicable unit)
b. Of the total number of persons or households entered above, how many will be
low-income (earning 51 % - 80% or less of the County median-income)?
35 persons/households (circle the applicable unit)
c. Of the total number of persons or households entered above, how many will be
very low-income (eaming 50% or less of the County median-income)?
85 Persons/households (circle the applicable unit)
9. Who are the clients of your organization? (Example: low- to moderate-income persons,
elderly persons, severely disabled persons, migrant farm workers, battered spouses, etc.)
Low income elderly, most of who are homebound or limited in mobility.
10. How do you currently collect demographic data on the beneficiaries of the proposed
project or program? (Example: racial/ethnic characteristics)
Our intake form contains demographic data. Our computer program monitors all statistical
information used to provide reports to our funding sources.
2007 CDBG Application Organization: Wilshve Foundation. Inc.- Carins Callers
l 1. How do you currently document income status of each client? (Example: very low, low-
and moderate-income)
We do not formally document the income status of our clients. However, our referral
sources are all programs that serve low-income people.
12. How will the clients benefit from this project?
Our main objective is to allow senior to stay in their homes, avoiding institutionalization
whenever possible. Research shows that removing older people from their home
environment significantly reduces their quality of life and often hastens death. Many of our
clients are homebound and/or isolated and do not have the social contacts needed to
maintain their self esteem and avoid depression, etc. For such seniors, a Caring Caller may
be the only source of social and emotional contact. The contact that a Caring Caller
provides adds significant meaning to the client's life and postpones or eliminates the need
for institutionalization.
13. Will the services offered by your organization increase or expand as a result of the CDBG
assistance? If yes, please answer the following questions:
a. What new programs and/or services will be provided?
This is answered in the body of the narrative.
b. Describe how existing programs and/or services will be expanded and what percentage of
an increase is expected?
There are waiting lists in all of our geographic areas. If we receive the CDBG
funding requested, more people on the waiting lists will be able to participate in
the Caring Callers Programs. We will continue to distribute personalized disaster
kits and information to our clients in order to add a new feeling of safety for the
lonely/frail individuals in the Caring Callers Program.
Also, since program costs continually increase, the CDBG money we receive
help us meet these costs. Future purchasers of disaster kit supplies, office space
cost plus and increase in support materials.
14. Check any of the following eligible activity categories that apply to the proposed project
or program: (Refer to CDBG regulations and the Guide to Eligible CDBG Activities).
Acquisition of real property
Disposition of real property
2007 CDBG Application Organization: Wilshire Foundation, Inc.-Carine Callers
Public facilities and improvements (may include acquisition, construction,
reconstruction, rehabilitation or installation)
Privately owned utilities
Clearance, demolition, removal of buildings and improvements, and/or movement of
structures to other sites
Interim assistance
Relocation of individuals, families, businesses, non-profit organizations, and/or farms
Removal of architectural barriers
Housing rehabilitation
New housing construction (under limited circumstances)
Code enforcement
Historic preservation
Commercial or industrial rehabilitation
Special economic development
XX Special activities by subrecipients
XX Public services
Planning studies
I5. Describe the need and the degree of urgency for the proposed project or program.
What would be the consequences if the proposed project or program is not funded in
the next year?
We serve a population of isolated, often homebound, older people who are "at-risk" of
institutionalization and who may be lonely and depressed. If we did not see them and
provide the social contact of our caring callers as well as the practical service of linking
them up to other vital community services (see question #3, e. re "Collaboration"), many
might end up with far more serious problems, possibly necessitating institutionalization.
Without the concern of a caring caller, our clients would also be "at-risk" of scam, fraud,
and abuse. Our new endeavor of supplying disaster kits would not be continued. The
2007 CDBG Application Organization: Wilshire Foundation, Inc.-Carine Callers
Directors position was expanded in order to focus on client enrollment, this would also be
curtailed.
16. Please describe the specific organizational method used to implement the proposed
project or program (single or multiple group, public agency, non-profit, for-profit,
experience in operating similar programs, etc.):
We are anon-profit organization with one fulltime salaried employee. Our services are
delivered by over 110 volunteers. The Director conducts outreach activities to isolated
seniors and then conducts an assessment of their needs before matching them with a
suitable volunteer. She also monitors the quality of service delivery and provides
feedback/supervision to the volunteers.
I certify that the information in this application is true and accurate to the best of my knowledge and
Note to applicant:
The County and cities require all of this grant recipients to maintain general liability, automobile and
workman's compensation insurance with limits of not less than $1 million*. Provide documentation
regazding ability to provide the required coverage.
* Liability coverage may vary by jurisdiction. Please call the city/county contact to verify limits.
Reporting of beneficiary data on a quarterly and yeaz-end basis is required for HUD purposes. If
you are successful in obtaining federal funds you will need to attend a mandatory meeting at a yet to
be determined time and location.
Prior to HUD's release of grant conditions and/or funds for the CDBG-funded project, a review of
the project's potential impact on the environment must be conducted by the awazding jurisdictions
and approved by the County of San Luis Obispo prior to obligating ar incurring project costs.
The County must certify to HUD that it has complied with all applicable envirotunental procedures
and requirements. Should project costs be obligated or incurred prior to the completion of the
necessary environmental review, the project shall not benefit from the federal funds.

Alcohol and Drug Free Living Center
The Drug and Alcohol Services Division of Life Steps foundation has a 15-year history of
developing innovative programs in San Luis Obispo County for women impacted by
substance abuse. The ultimate goal of the three Life S[eps drug and alcohol programs is to
help mothers develop healthy lifestyles free of addictive substances. Life Steps Foundation is
requesting $13,500 to supplement the yearly salary of the program supervisor position at the
Alcohol and Drug Free Living Center (the "Center") in the City of San Luis Obispo.
Describe Program/Project. The Center is a sober living residential facility that provides
from 9 to 12 months of residential treatment for pregnant and parenting women over 18 years
old. Their children, 5 and under, reside with them during their stay. Children transition into
the program within the first 60 days followine an assessment of the mother's ability to care
for them. Referrals for the program come through the County Drug and Alcohol Services
Department.
During the 9- to 12-month stay in the facility, women are randomly tested for drugs and
alcohol. To remain in the program, clients must test clean at all times. Through facilitated
therapeutic groups, resident's council meetings, parenting training, clinical counseling with
County Drug and Alcohol Services, and Life Steps Foundation's case management services,
women prepare to be reintegrated into their community as family's units
Who Benefits. San Luis Obispo families at high risk for drug and alcohol abuse benefit from
the Center's family systems approach during treatment. Life Steps Foundation keeps the
families together during the recovery process. Most of the mothers do not have custody of
their children. Part of the recovery process involves ongoing negotiations with Child Welfare
Services to regain child custody. The facility supports and collaborates with the efforts of the
San Luis Obispo County's health and human services departments to promote the health and
well being of pregnant and parenting women in recovery from drugs and alcohol. The family
centered approach is effective in treating not only the women but in breaking the cycle of
future abuse for their children.
Location and geographic area sewed. The Center is located in the city of San Luis Obispo
and serves the entire San Luis Obispo County area. Due to the nature of the treatment and a
long history of domestic violence experienced by the women the location of the Center is
confidential, but has been provided to the CDBG panel under separate cover.

9. Who are the clients of your organization? (Example: low- to moderate-income
persons, elderly persons, severely disabled persons, migrant farm workers,
battered spouses, etc.)
Life Steps Foundation helps people who have physical and mental health challenges through
home- and community-based therapeutic support, mentoring, education and advocacy. Our
service population consists of people of any age and background who have multiple physical,
mental and emotional disabilities. Client services are offered through four divisions: Enfant
and Children Services; Adult Services; Aging Services and Drug and Alcohol Services.
Mothers treated at the Center are over 18, very low income residents of SLO County and are
referred by the SLO County Drug and Alcohol Services Department as outlined under
Section 3, Paragraph I (program description) of this application.
Participants of the Alcohol and Drug Free Living Center come from all over the county of
San Luis Obispo. The following breakdown shows the Center's enrollment by city and total
cost for the last year. Each person (mother or child) staying at the center costs $6,154.96 a
year.
Arroyo Grande (10%) .......................................................................$18,464.88
Atascadero (48%) ............................................................................. $92,324.40
Grover City (23%) ............................................................................ $43,084.72
City of San Luis Obispo (19%) ........................................................ $36,929.76
10. How do you currently collect demographic data on the beneficiaries of the
proposed project or program? (Example: racial/ethnic characteristics)
During intake demographic data such as participants racial/ethnic characteristics, age;
number of children; economic status; is collected in collaboration with the Department of
Drug and Alcohol. Collaborating agencies, such as the Child Welfare System (CWS) and the
Department of Probation and Drug Dependency Court, also forward historical backgrounds
on clients to the Center. Further data is collected on: treatment completion, relapses,
employment upon completion of treatment, family reunification. Data is shared with the
Department of Drug and Alcohol.
2007 CDBG Application Life Steps Foundation, Inc.
Page 7 of 11
11. How do you currently document income status of each client? (Example: very
low, low- and moderate-income)
Participants report whatever income they have during the intake process. However, rarely do
new enrollees have income. If they do, usually, it is through welfare programs such as
General Relief (GR). Life Steps Foundation documentation of income complies with [he
Contractor Quarterly CDBG Report for identifying low-income families.
12. How will the clients benefit from this project?
The Alcohol and Drug Free Living Center is the only substance abuse residential treatment
program for women with children in the city of San Luis Obispo. Its focus on the family
unit, as opposed to only the mother, emphasizes the preventative nature of the services by
breaking the cycle of abuse for the children. All mothers who participate in the Alcohol
and Drug Free Living Center have the opportunity to reunite with their children while
receiving in the residential setting. Children up to 5 years old live with their mothers in a
nurturing, safe, clean and structured environment. Upon initially entering the Center, some
of the mothers do not have custody of their children. Part of the recovery process involves
ongoing negotiations with Child Welfare Services to regain child custody. The women have
to strive to meet [he treatment milestones in order to be reunited with their children while
undergoing treatment. Keeping families together is the cornerstone of the program.
Case management is another key benefit to participating mothers at the Center. Center staff
create individual treatment plans for each mother and her family. The plans include regular
coordination of all necessary medical and mental health appointments through the county's
Drug and Alcohol Services Department. They also include other support services, such as
NA/AA meetings, parenting classes, benefit programs, vocational training, job application
and interviewing, finding affordable housing. Additional components of the Center's
programs include weekly resident council meetings, monthly family socialization outings,
attendance to AA meetings and life skills training. These activities provide the vital skills
necessary to reach self-sufficiency and raise healthy, functional families.
13. Will the services offered by your organization increase or expand as a result of
the CDBG assistance? If yes, please answer the following questions:
a. What new programs and/or services will be provided?
The CDBG assistance will impact the expansion of our services in an indirect
manner. There have been many situations in which Center graduates returned to
homeless shelters simply because the county did not have adequate transitional living
programs in San Luis Obispo. On August 1 of this year, Life Steps Foundation opened
Anna's House, a new transitional home for graduates of Life Steps Foundation's recovery
programs. The house serves as a bridge between emergency residential treatment and
independent living /self-sufficiency. Anna's House is afive-bedroom home. It will be
available to the families who complete the 12-month recovery program. (See Attachment
2 for Anna's House press information.) San Luis Obispo currently offers no other
transitional home for women and their children. Being able to keep the Drug Free
Living Center at capacity with atoll-time Program Supervisor will provide more
2007 CDBG Application

Life Steps Foundation, Inc.
graduates the opportunity to use Anna's House during asix-month period until they
can secure affordable housing. This transition will enhance their chances of success
as they integrate into the community.
b. Describe how existing programs and/or services will be expanded and what
percentage of an increase is expected?
The Center always runs at capacity enrollment. Applicants must currently add their
names to an eight-month waiting list to participate in the facility. CDBG funding to
supplement the salary of the program supervisor will allow the program director to focus
on fund-raising to expand current services under the division.
14. Check any of the following eligible activity categories that apply to the
proposed project or program: (Refer to CDBG regulations and the Guide to
Eligible CDBG Activities).

15. Describe the need and the degree of urgency for the proposed project or
program. What would be the consequences if the proposed project or
program is not funded in the next year?
Substance abuse is an increasingly dangerous problem in San Luis Obispo County. In
alarming numbers, Central Coast residents are using heroin, methamphetamine and alcohol
as a means to cope with life. Distribution and availability of these substances is also
spiraling: they represent a very significant threat to the Central Coast area.
Substance abuse among pregnant women remains a major cause of infant mortality and the
cause of poor health among low-income women and children. The following figures help
illustrate the enormous problem facing the San Luis Obispo County:
Half of drug abuse is in the childbearing age group of 15 to 44 years.
According to the San Luis Obispo County Public Health Department, more than 15
percent of pregnant women in San Luis Obispo County do not get prenatal care
during their first trimester.
The recent U.S. Census indicates that 1,592 women-headed households in San Luis
Obispo County are at or below the poverty line.
During 2003-2005, 89.4 percent of mothers admitted to early childhood sexual abuse
or physical abuse at Life Steps Pasos de Vida residential recovery. Of these mothers,
80.4 percent experienced domestic violence.
The physical geography of San Luis Obispo increases the problem of preventing women at
risk from accessing recovery treatment. Recovery centers (outpatients) within the rural area
of San Luis Obispo are few, and travel distances are great. Moreover, the public
transportation system in rural areas is historically scarce. The statistic sampling above, a
eight-month waiting list to participate in the program demonstrate the significance of the
Center's services in the area.
The Alcohol and Drug Free Living Center is the only residential drug treatment facility
for women and their children in the city of San Luis Obispo. The Center receives partial
funding from San Luis Obispo County (see Budget Attachment 1). Reduced funding will
force Life Steps to reduce the current capacity of the program. Waiting lists for drug
treatment at any facility will grow longer. Reduced funding will also impose severe financial
burdens on the county's justice system, social services departments, police enforcement,
foster care programs, and child protective services.
16. Please describe the specific organizational method used to implement the
proposed project or program (single or multiple group, public agency, non-
profit, for-profit, experience in operating similar programs, etc.):
The Drug and Alcohol Services Division operates within Life Steps Foundation, Inc., a non-
profit 501(c)(3) social service organization that serves people in four different program
divisions: infant/children services; adult services; aging services; and drug and alcohol
services.

Participants r~i the Alcohol and Drug Free Living Center are first screened by the county's
Drug and F~Icohol Services. The State of California Department of Alcohol and Drug
Programs (ADP), through its Perinatal Service Network (PSN), determines the guidelines
that L i-Se Steps and its clients must comply with for admission to [he program. If the woman
i•., pregnant or has a child younger than 1 year and is using harmful drugs, she is
automatically considered ahigh-risk priority for admission to residential treatment. If the
Center has available room, the client is scheduled for intake. If no room is available, the
client is placed on a waiting list that follows Admissions Priority Guidelines of the State's
Alcohol and Drug Programs (ADP). The Center's program services (outlined in Section 12
above) focuses on: (a) promoting sobriety and recovery; (b) preventing relapse; (c)
supporting the mother's gradual transition into the community; and (d) assisting the client in
securing employment.

SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE AMENDING
PORTIONS OF CHAPTER 12.16 OF TITLE 12 OF THE ARROYO
GRANDE MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO THE COMMUNITY TREE
PROGRAM
DATE: FEBRUARY 27, 2007
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council introduce an Ordinance amending portions of
Chapter 12.16 of Title 12 of the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code, which include revisions
to the Community Tree Program relating to the replacement of any regulated tree that
dies.
DISCUSSION:
Background
The Community Tree Program (AGMC Title 12.16) addresses various issues related to
trees in Commercial, Multi-Family, Industrial, as well as Residential zones. Additionally,
it addresses City Landmark trees and issues related to property development. The
Ordinance was revised in 2006 after numerous public hearings before the Parks and
Recreation Commission and the City Council.
Recently, it has come to the attention of staff that the existing Ordinance does not
include provisions related to tree replacement in the event a regulated tree dies due to
disease or other circumstances.
One of the key objectives of the Tree Ordinance is to prevent the removal of any
regulated tree and to mitigate the removal of any regulated trees that does take place.
However, in enforcing these objectives, staff has determined the Ordinance contains an
existing loophole with regard to regulated trees that have died. Replacement of
regulated trees can be required and enforced because it requires a tree removal permit.
However, no tree removal permit is specifically required for removal of a dead regulated
tree. Therefore, staff has no specific authority to require replacement of a dead
regulated tree that is removed.

AMENDING PORTIONS OF CHAPTER
MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO THE
Proposed Definition
The Ordinance revision includes the following proposed definition: "Dead Regulated
Tree" means a regulated tree that is no longer alive or is in an advanced state of decline
(where an insufficient amount of live tissue, green leaves, limbs or branches exist to sustain
life) and has been determined to be in such a state of decline by a certified arborist during a
non-dormant or other natural stage of the tree that would minimize the likelihood that the tree
would be mistakenly identified as being in such a dead state.
Proposed addition under Section 12.16.070
The Ordinance revision also includes the following proposed provision: Subject to
obtaining a tree removal permit, a dead regulated tree, as defined by Section 12.16.020,
may be removed, and a replacement tree from the approved City tree list and acceptable to
the Director of Parks, Recreation and Facilities or his/her designee will be required to be
planted in its place, unless determined by the Director of Parks, Recreation and Facilities to
be unnecessary due to special circumstances of the site.

TO: CITY COUNCIUREDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD OF DIRE~TORS
FROM: ANGELA KRAETSCH, DIRECTOR OF FINANCIAL SERVICES
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF FISCAL YEAR 2006-07 MID-YEAR BUDGET
REPORT
DATE: FEBRUARY 27, 2007
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council/Agency Board:
• Approve detailed budget adjustments listed in the Mid-Year budget report
• Approve Schedules A and B
• Approve (Deny) requests for additional appropriations in the General Fund.
FUNDING:
The requested actions will impact several fund budgets as outlined in the Mid-Year Budget
Report. The General Fund ending balance will be impacted by the approval of the
recommended revenue and appropriation adjustments as follows:
Projected General Fund Balance at First Quarter Report (unaudited) $2,041,729
Increase of Revenue $ 37,046
Council Approved Adjustments (42,750)
Miscellaneous Audit Adustments (8,681)
Proposed Net Expenditure Adjustments (4.500)
Total Decrease to General Fund Balance (18,885)
Adjusted General Fund Balance 6/30/2007
$2.022.844
DISCUSSION:
Each year, the City Council/Redevelopment Agency Board of Directors adopts a budget,
which commits resources to the accomplishment of its policies. The Financial Services
Department routinely prepares quarterly budget updates for the City Council/RDA Board.
The purpose of the City's Mid-Year budget review is to:
• Compare revenues received and expenditures made to budgeted amounts to determine
appropriate adjustments.
MID-YEAR REPORT
CITY COUNCIL
FEBRUARY 27, 2007
PAGE 2
Report on Departmental accomplishments.
• Provide a link between the City budget, the financial records, and the independent
financial audit.
Compare current revenues and expenditures against the prior fiscal year.
SUMMARY OF KEY MID-YEAR POINTS:
The total Citywide Fund Balance reported at June 30, 2006 is $24,750,028. This is an
increase of approximately $461,107 over June 30, 2005. The beginning General Fund
balance is $2,359,080, which was a decrease of $274,551 from the prior year and is 19%
of General Fund appropriations. The audited Fund Balances reported in the Annual
Financial Report have been incorporated into the beginning fund balances on Schedule
A. There is one adjustment to the beginning fund balances that are different from the
Annual Financial Report. The adjustment was to subtract the Fixed Asset balance of
$10,224,986 from the Water Fund in order to reflect a more accurate cash fund balance.
• The current projected available General Fund Balance for June 30, 2007 is $2,022,844, a
decrease of $1,263,704 from the projected fund balance of $3,286,548 published in the
FY 2005-07 Bi-Annual Budget. This fund balance is projected to be 15% of
appropriations, which is lower than the City Council goal of 20%. The published fund
balance did not include carryover expenditures or compensation adjustments for FY
2006-07. The projected Fund Balance assumes revenues are received exactly as
budgeted; all budget expenditures are made, and all capital transfers required by the CIP
Program are. completed. Historically, the General Fund has not been required to fund all
budgeted capital transfers, and expenditures at year-end are traditionally less than
budgeted. Therefore it is likely that the June 30, 2007 General Fund Balance will be
greater than that projected.
• As part of the Mid Year process, staff is asked to review their current budgets and
determine if any adjustments are required. This report includes General Fund requests of
an additional ($19,500) in appropriations; adecrease of $15,000 in transfers and a net
increase of $37,046 in General Fund revenue. Additional increases are requested in the
Local Use Tax Fund ($250,000), Traffic Circulation Fund ($70,000) and the CIP Fund
($22,000). Detailed descriptions of these requests are included in the Mid-Year Report
and shown on Schedules A and B.
Also shown in this report are the Council approved appropriations in the General Fund
($42,750), the PEG Fund ($12,250) and the Redevelopment Agency Fund ($40,500).
These are shown on Schedules A and B.
The Management Reporting System Status Report on departmental accomplishments
and key issues in progress is presented as a separate section at the end of this report.
Each department /division reports the work accomplished during the first half of the fiscal
year toward an improved City government. Also reported is the progress toward those
on-going projects/work efforts that will continue into the remaining quarters.

City of Arroyo Grande
Mid-Year Budget Report - 2006/2007 February 27, 2007 _
Overview
The City's Mid-Year Report is prepared to compare the revenues and expenditures occurring during the first six months
of the fiscal year against budgeted amounts to determine appropriate adjustments; to report on departmental
accomplishments; to provide links between the City budget, the financial records, and the independent financial audit;
and to compare revenues earned and expenses made during the first six months of the 2006-07 Fiscal Year against the FY
2005-06 figures. This information is provided in the following format:
Schedule A: The starting point is the audited 2005-06 Fiscal Year ending fund balances, which is also the beginning
Unreserved Fund Balances for the 2006-07 Fiscal Year. Combining the beginning Unreserved Fund Balances with
the estimated revenues, transfers, and appropriations adopted in the Annual Budget and the lst Quarter report,
provides the estimated fund balances.
Schedule B: A listing of all approved and proposed budget adjustments is presented. The approved budget
adjustments are the result of approved City Council action occurring after the First Quarter Report was issued.
Recommended adjustments are minor departmental adjustments, reassessments of revenue estimates, or proposed
Mid-Year changes to be presented to the City Council for consideration.
As a result of a comprehensive review, adjustments are recommended where actual receipts and disbursements are
materially different from the budgeted amounts. Although budget adjustments are recommended across several City
funds, the emphasis of the Mid-Year Budget Report continues to be directed at the General Fund. The General Fund is
deemed to be the most critical as it provides most services commonly associated with government (public safety,
recreation, parks, building, and planning) and is limited primarily by tax-generated revenues.
Summary of Key Points
The total Citywide Fund Balance reported at June 30, 2006 is $24,750,028. This is an increase of approximately
$461,107 over June 30, 2005. The beginning General Fund balance is $2,359,080, which was a decrease of $274,551 from
the prior year and is 19% of General Fund appropriations. The audited Fund Balances reported in the Annual
Financial Report have been incorporated into the beginning fund balances on Schedule A. There is one adjustment to

.City of Arroyo Grande
Mid-Year Budget Report - 2006/2007 February 27, 2007
the beginning fund balances that are different from the Annual Financial Report. The adjustment was to subtract the
Fixed Asset balance of $10,224,986 from the Water Fund in order to reflect a more accurate cash fund balance.
The current projected available General Fund Balance for June 30, 2007 is $2,022,844, a decrease of $1,263,704 from the
projected fund balance of $3,286,548 published in the FY 2005-07 Bi-Annual Budget. This fund balance is projected to be
15% of appropriations, which is lower than the City Council goal of 20%. The published fund balance did not include
carryover expenditures or compensation adjustments for FY 2005-06 or 2006-07. The projected Fund Balance assumes
revenues are received exactly as budgeted, all budget expenditures are made, and all capital transfers required by the
CIP Program are completed. Historically, the General Fund has not been required to fund all budgeted capital
transfers and expenditures at year-end are traditionally less than budgeted. Therefore it is likely that the June 30, 2007
General Fund Balance will be greater than the $2,022,844 projection.
The Management Reporting System Status Report is presented as a separate section at the end of this report. This
provides a look at what the individual departments have accomplished during the first half of the fiscal year. Also
reported are the key issues and work efforts in progress that will continue into the remaining quarters.
Mid Year Budget Requests
As part of the mid year process, departments were asked to review their current budgets and determine if any adjustments
should be proposed in this report. Listed below are the recommended budget adjustments for unanticipated expenses.
These adjustments are included on Schedule A as though they are completed; however the City Council may reject any or all
of these budget adjustment requests.
General Fund:
• Government Buildings -The department is requesting an increase of $14,500. The City Hall carpet is in need of
replacement and is estimated to cost approximately $6,000. In addition, the interior of the City Hall will be repainted
at a cost of $4,500 and new lobby furniture will be purchased at an estimated cost of $2,000. The remaining $2,000 is
being requested due to the unanticipated replacement of the Fire Station doors.
City of Arroyo Grande
Mid-Year Budget Report - 2006/2007 February 27, 2007
Parks and Recreation -The Parks department is requesting an increase of $5,000 for unbudgeted work related to
contracted tree maintenance and removals during the first half of the yeaz. This has included safety pruning of trees
at the Womari s Club and removal of a dead tree at the Elm Street Park.
Local Use Tax Fund:
With the recent approval of the sales tax increase, a separate fund has been established in order to more accurately
monitor expenditures. It is anticipated that the three months of the local use tax revenue will be approximately $350,000.
Of that amount, the Board of Equalization (BOE) has estimated that their one time start up costs will be approximately
$100,000. The BOE will subtract this amount before forwarding the remaining revenue to the City. Therefore this
amount will not be shown in the budget. The remaining $250,000 will be budgeted as follows; $76,000 for the Newsom
Springs Environmental review that was approved by the City Council at the December 12, 2006 meeting, $20,000 for the
Creek ivy removal project, $25,000 for the Police Department expansion feasibility study, $86,000 to be used for the East
Grand Avenue microsurfacing project, $20,000 for the design of the Farroll Avenue rehabilitation project, $5,000 for the
design of the Brisco Road rehabilitation project and $18,000 for sidewalk and street tree improvements on Poole Street.
Traffic Circulation Fund:
Funds that were budgeted for the Brisco Road Rehab project of $70,000 are being moved to Fiscal Year 2007-08.
Therefore, a decrease in the budgeted capital transfers for the current fiscal year is required.
Construction in Progress Fund (CIP):
Staff is requesting a decrease of $228,000 for the following CIP projects. Revenue of $15,000 is being returned to the
General Fund and replaced by Local Sales Tax revenue for the Brisco Road Rehab project. In addition, $70,000 that was
budgeted from the Traffic Circulation Fund for the Brisco Road Rehab project is being moved to Fiscal Yeaz 2007-08.
USHA funds of $143,000 that are budgeted for the Farroll Avenue Rehab project are being moved to Fiscal Year 2007-08.
As stated in the above Local Use Tax section, an increase of $250,000 is being budgeted for various CIP projects. This
amounts to a net increase of $22,000 in the CIP fund.
Redevelopment Agency Fund:
The Redevelopment Agency (RDA) is in the process of a bond issuance that will be used to both repay internal debt and
to fund much needed projects. Staff is requesting an additional appropriation of $25,000 for legal costs related to this
issuance. This will be repaid to the RDA once the bonds have been issued.

General Fund Overview
Shown below is an overview of the revenues, expenses, and transfers for Fiscal Years 2005-06 and 2006-07. Comparing
the two fiscal years in this summary format readily shows the impact of both increases and decreases in revenues and
expenditures. While revenues increased ($104,181), expenditures and transfers-out ($487,930) also increased at a greater
rate. The net impact of the increasing revenues and increasing expenditures is projected to decrease the fund balance by
$383,749.

After Mid-Year adjustments are recorded, the June 30, 2007 fund balance in the General Fund will be approximately
$2,022,844, if all budget projections are fulfilled. However, at June 30, 2007, the City may find additional revenues have
been received above the budgeted amounts and not all budgeted appropriations will be spent as year-end actual
expenditures are traditionally less than budgeted amounts (i.e. FY 05-06 - $182,2371ess, FY 04-05 - $407,581 less, FY 03-04-
$508,3991ess, FY 02-03-$744,3121ess; FY 01-02 $654,300 less). Therefore, at year-end, the fund. balance may be more than
the budgeted $2,022,844 and staff expects to be close to the 20% fund balance policy amount.

City of Arroyo Grande
Mid-Year Budget Report - 2006/07 February 27, 2007
General Fund Revenues
While revenues continue to grow, maintaining revenues to meet expenditures remains a challenge. With half of the year
complete, the total General Fund revenue is at 36%. This is below 50% for several reasons. The current revenue only
includes four months of sales tax revenue; the Property Transfer Tax has dropped due to a decline in home sales; building
permit revenue and related building fees are down by 20% when compared to the prior year, which is due to a decrease
in large construction projects; the reimbursement of approximately $70,000 for the School Resource Officer and crossing
guards was not received before the Mid-Year; the City has not yet requested a budgeted refund from our excess insurance
fund of $150,000; and the triple flip amounts for sales tax $473,652 and VLF $565,671 were not received until January.
Had all these revenues been received in December, total General Fund revenue would be approximately 50%.
As part of the Mid-Year Report, adjustments are made to revenue budgets when mathematical calculations comparing
current year revenues with prior year revenues suggest that either a significant overage or underage may occur at year-
end. While the majority of the City's revenues sources are on target based on past trends, there a few exceptions. The
amount budgeted for the Triple Flip -VLF should be increased by $58,742 and the Triple Flip -Sales Tax should be
increased by $128,304 in order to match actual revenue to be received. The amount budgeted for Property Transfer Tax
should be decreased by ($60,000). As mentioned above, this revenue line item has continued to decline due to a drop in
home sales and is not anticipated to increase before the year end. The amount budgeted for operating transfers should be
decreased by ($90,000). This amount was budgeted for the Police Department's lease purchase of dispatch equipment.
The lease purchase option was determined to no longer be necessary. Lastly, although building related fees are showing
a decline, staff will wait until the third quarter report before making a request to decrease these revenue sources.
The table shown on the next page presents a comparison of the top ten revenue accounts and includes the above-
suggested adjustments. The table is followed by an analysis of changes in the revenues, both increases and decreases.
Because the top revenue sources account for approximately 77% of total General Fund revenues, changes here can have
profound impacts. In addition, the trends in these ten revenues can provide a general understanding of the total General
Fund revenues. Because these revenues may indicate a trend, it is a good sign that current year revenues are $223,017
greater than the previous fiscal year.

• Sales Tax -Sales tax is lower than the prior year due to smaller clean-up payments received in September and
December. The Board of Equalization (BOE) computes the monthly advances using a formula based on prior year
receipts and estimated growth. The BOE then reconciles the actual receipts against the advances and this results in
the clean-up payment that the City receives each quarter. This payment is lower for two reasons; (1) sales activity
has decreased and (2) the calculation used by the BOE to determine the monthly advances were more accurate. Staff
will continue to monitor the sales tax revenue and make any necessary adjustments at the Third Quarter. Sales tax is
below 50% due to only receiving four months of revenue by Mid-Year.

City of Arroyo Grande
Mid-Year Budget Report - 2006/07 February 27, 2007
• Property Tax -Due to increased property values, the City's property taxes have continued to grow.
• Building Permits -The City is seeing a decrease of $13,539 due to the pulling of permits for larger projects in the
prior year. S&S homes obtained 14 single-family dwelling permits and the Le Point mixed-use project was permitted
at that time. Staff will continue to monitor this revenue source and make any adjustments at Third Quarter.
• Franchise Fees -This revenue source is up due to not receiving 6 months of franchise fees from Charter
Communications in the prior year. Staff contacted Charter and notified them of non-payment and received the
payments in the third quarter. This revenue source is below 50% due to one time payments received by PG&E and So
Cal Gas that are received in April.
• Telecommunication Site Leases -This has increased because the City has begun receiving revenue from a new
Cingular site located on Ash Street.
• All other variances are within normal ranges.
General Fund Expenditures
Most departmental expenses are under the 50% budget mark with total Fiscal Year 2006-07 expenses at 46% of budget.
Individual department/division differences between the current and prior fiscal year are highlighted in the table shown on the
next page. This fiscal year, there is an approximate $487,930 increase in General Fund expenditures over the previous
fiscal year. This is due to increases in salaries and benefits and several vehicle purchases. These increases were within the
approved budget.

• City Manager -This decrease is due to the retirement of the City's printer. This employee now works on an as
needed basis.
• City Attorney -This increase is due to miscellaneous litigation costs related to ongoing cases. It is anticipated that
these expenses will be offset by any settlements that the City receives. Staff will determine in the Third Quarter if an
adjustment in this departmental budget is required.
• Non-Departmental -The $71,266 increase in Non-Departmental is due to an increase in Operating transfers.
Transfers were increased to the Street Fund due to lower than expected Local Transportation Fund (LTF) revenue and
a one time transfer of $22,733 approved by Council at the November 28, 2006 meeting to avoid a beginning negative
fund balance in the Street Fund.
11
City of Arroyo Grande
Mid-Year Budget Report - 2006/07 February 27, 2007
• Fire -The increase of $132,317 resulted from an increase in salaries and benefits due to salary increases and expenses
related to the Hazard Mitigation Grant of approximately $60,000. This department is still below the 50% mark. This is
due to cost containment in their supplies and services expenditures.
Building & Safety -This decrease of $20,871 is the result of having to use contract employees due to the loss of two
full time employees in the prior year.
General Fund Balance
The City Council has established an Undesignated General Fund Balance goal of 20% of annual appropriation or
approximately $2,804,885. The City's Undesignated General Fund Balance represents the available resources to provide
funding for future contingencies such as earthquakes, civil unrest, economic fluctuations, major infrastructure repairs and
investment in capital for improved productivity and efficiencies. Inadequate reserves increase financial risk, negatively
impact cash flow, and reduce the City's ability to attract and sustain economic development and growth within the City
of Arroyo Grande.
The net impact of the budgeted fund balance and recommended Mid-Year adjustments will result in a projected fund
balance of approximately $2,022,544 as of June 30, 2007, approximately $782,041 less than 20% of annual appropriation.
In reality, it is expected that the fund balance will actually be higher than the projected fund balance (15% of expenditure
appropriations). The projected fund balance is based on conservative calculations. Historically, the General Fund has not
been required to fund all budgeted capital transfers and expenditures at year-end are traditionally less than budgeted. It
can therefore be expected that the June 30, 2006 General Fund Balance will be greater than the estimated projection.

City of Arroyo Grande
Mid-Year Budget Report - 2006/07 February 27, 2007
OTHER FUNDS
Local Use Tax Fund (Fund 218)
This fund has been established to account for the 1/s cent sales tax increase that was approved in November 2006: The
increase will take effect in April of 2007 and it is estimated that the City will receive $350,000 in revenue. This budget
document includes the appropriations for these funds, which are listed in detail on page 5 of this report.
Redevelopment Agency (Fund 284)
The Redevelopment Agency (RDA) fund has a negative beginning fund balance of $2,726,572. The increase in the
negative fund balance is due to the purchase of the Le Point Street and Faeh Street properties. The estimated ending
fund balance is a negative $3,582,610. The RDA is in the process of issuing bonds, which will enable the Agency to
repay all of its' debt and pursue new projects. The bonds will be repaid using the RDA tax increment.
CIP (Construction in Progress) Fund (Fund 350)
The procedures of the CIP require that revenues equal expenses in this fund, which means the fund does not typically
have a fund balance at year-end. However, this fund currently has a fund balance of $109,838. This is due to revenue
received (such as donations and sale of land) but not yet expended. If additional expenses are encountered in completing
a project, additional funding must be found to match the expenses. In reverse, when additional revenues are found, the
scope of the project can be expanded, previous funding returned to other funds, or revenues returned to the source.
In this Mid-Year Report, the CIP Fund is requesting a net increase of $22,000 in appropriations. The details for these
appropriations are listed on page 5 of this report under Mid Year Budget Requests.
Sewer Fund (Fund 612)
The Sewer Fund is projected to have a fund balance of approximately $267,182 (Schedule A). This fund had steadily lost
economic ground for a number of years. Consumption based billing, establishing four years of graduated billing rates,
and the transfer of street sweeping costs to the General and Streets Funds turned a negative fund balance to positive. In
June of 2005, a water and sewer rate study was approved by City Council. This study recommended four years of
graduated rates beginning FY 2005-06 and ending in FY 2008-09. These rates, which will cover operations, capital outlay,
and reserves, will ensure that the Sewer Fund does not have a negative fund balance.

projected to be $12,322,877.
