The City receives an annual allocation of funds,and a public hearing is conducted each
year to approve CDBG funded projects for the upcoming fiscal year that meet the HUD
guidelines.
DISCUSSION
City's Participation in the CDBG Program
The City's grant allocation from the County is determined by a HUD formula which includes
the extent of poverty,population,housing overcrowding,age of housing stock,and
population growth.Participating cities receive funding based upon the total number of
cities participating in the County's program,and a city's commitment to provide housing,
economic and community development opportunities which principally benefit persons of
low-and moderate-income levels and/or aid in the prevention or elimination of blighted
conditions.
In order to continue its participation in the upcoming program year beginning July 1,2011
through June 30,2012,the City of RPV must prepare and submit a summary of proposed
CDBG projects,including descriptions and budgets,to the Los Angeles County Community
Development Commission by January 31,2011 for review and approval.
Pursuant to federal requirements,this public hearing was noticed in the Palos Verdes
Peninsula News on November 4,2010 and November 25,2010.A copy of the notice is
attached to this staff report.Federal requirements also mandate that as a part of the
hearing,the City Council and public be informed of the range of eligible and ineligible
housing and community development activities that may be funded under the CDBG
Program.A list of eligible and ineligible CDBG projects and activities are attached to this
report as Exhibits A and B,respectively.In addition,interested persons may review a copy
of the federal eligibility guidelines at the City of Rancho Palos Verdes'Public Works
Department.
Description of Proposed CDBG Projects
For FY 2011-2012,staff is proposing to use its annual CDBG allocation to continue funding
the City's current projects,which include the Home Improvement Program (HIP),
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)Access Ramps and Sidewalk Repair Project,and
CDBG Administration.
The Home Improvement Program (HIP)is a project that fulfills the CDBG requirements to
serve low-and moderate-income residents,as well as improve the community's housing
stock.This program was established by the City Council in 1998 to provide funding to
homeowners for the preservation of decent,safe and sanitary housing.Since the inception
of the program,approximately 89 projects have been completed through the award of
$978,000 of grants and/or loans to low-and moderate-income residents.A brochure
describing the program in greater detail is attached.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)Access Ramps and Sidewalk Repair
Project provides ADA accessibility to existing sidewalks through the construction of curb
ramps at various intersections and sidewalk access for the disabled.CDBG funds will
provide for the design,plans and specifications,and construction required for the removal

of barriers that impede ADA accessibility.In previous years,CDBG funding was allocated
for the REACH Program.However,in September 2010 the City Council approved the re-
allocation of CDBG funds from the REACH Program to the ADA Access Ramps and
Sidewalk Repair Project.The CDBG funding allocation for the REACH Program was
discontinued due to the increased staff time that would be required to meet the federal
standards for documenting and reporting the REACH participant fees and federal
procurement procedures for the purchase of REACH program supplies.
COBG Administration and Planning funds are used for overall program management,
coordination,monitoring,reporting and evaluation to meet Community Development
Commission (CDC)guidelines established through HUD.Funding for administration costs
is limited to 10%of the annual allocation.The City's CDBG consultant administers the
program and serves as a liaison between staff and CDC representatives.
The projects described above were developed after reviewing the attached list of CDBG
Eligible Activities to determine what type of projects would best serve the community of
Rancho Palos Verdes,and at the same time,meet the HUD requirements of serving low-
and moderate-income residents.Projects to build public facilities do not qualify for CDBG
funding because the City of RPV does not have any qualifying neighborhoods of low-and
moderate-income census tracts.Rather than focusing on projects that would benefit
neighborhood areas,the HIP was developed to target residents that qualify under the low-
and moderate-income requirements.This project not only meets CDBG goals,but
provides benefit to qualified limited income citizens throughout the City.
Other projects eligible for CDBG funding are ADA accessibility options to remove physical
barriers for people with disabilities.Installation of ADA compliant curb ramps and sidewalk
access has been paid for by General Funds in the past.These costs may be funded by
CDBG instead since General Funds are now used to implement the REACH Program.
Proposed FY 2011-2012 COBG Budget
The Los Angeles County CDC recently informed the City of RPV that the preliminary 2011-
2012 CDBG allocation for the City is $193,185.In addition to the annual allocation,the
City has accumulated unexpended project funds of $33,469,for a total of $226,654.It is
recommended that the City Council approve the following proposed projects for the 2011-
2012 program year:
