SUBJECT: 2007 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT
PROGRAM (CDBG)
HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION (HRC)RECOMMENDATION
1. Adopt a resolution approving the 2007 CDBG Program activities and funding as
recommended by the Human Relations Commission (HRC) with adjustments based on the
new funding estimate.
2. Endorse the Urban County's Draft One-Year Action Plan, including Home Investment
Partnership Program (HOME), Special Urban Projects and Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG)
funding.
3. Forward the Council's actions and funding recommendations to the Board of Supervisors.
CAO RECOMMENDATION
Approve HRC recommendations #2 and #3, and adopt the HRC's recommended resolution
approving the 2007 CDBG Program activities and funding, with the exception of the
recommended grant to Good Samaritan Inc. for the reasons outlined in the staff report.
REPORT-IN-BRIEF
The City received 15 CDBG funding requests for the 2007 Program Year (July 1, 2007 through
June 30, 2008), totaling over $2,000,000. The Human Relations Commission (HRC's)
evaluation of what projects could be funded was based on an estimate of $645,915 in CDBG
monies allocated to the City's in 2006. Staff and HRC are aware the City may receive
approximately 5%-10% less CDBG funding than last year. Final allocations will not be available
from HUD until April 2007.
Projects recommended for CDBG funding this year include: 1) Request from the Economic
Opportunity Commission (EOC) for continued operation and maintenance of the Homeless
Shelter and for an upgrade to the heating, ventilation, and cooling (HVAC) system for the Health
Services Clinic, 2) Repairs for Judson Terrace Homes, 3) Request for improvements to restrooms
at Laguna Lake and Santa Rosa Parks in order to comply with a Court judgment mandating ADA
compliance for disabled persons, 4) Request from the Housing Authority for exterior
CADocuments and Settings\slouser\Desktop\CCCDBG07Rpt.doc //
2007 Community Development Block Grant Program Pap-e.2
improvements to the Anderson Hotel, 5) EOC's Homeless Services Planning project, and 6)
CDBG &Housing Program Administration.
As called for by the City's CDBG procedure, the HRC reviewed the 15 funding requests and
made recommendations — some at amounts lower than requested, some at higher amounts than
requested. This report describes the 2007 CDBG program in more detail, as well as the specific
recommendations by the Council's advisory body. The HRC and CAO recommendation differ in
one main respect: funding for the Good Samaritans Inc. Detoxification Program. The HRC
recommended partial funding of the Detox program although they acknowledged staff input that
the project was not ripe for funding. The HRC believes substance abuse is a significant issue for
the community and the need for a facility and staff to address this issue is critical.
Staff, however, is concerned with funding the project at this time because a site has not yet been
identified and it is likely that the funds will not be spent within the required timeframe. The
recommendation not to fund the Detox program is further based on input that efforts to address
the core issue should be more widely coordinated among community resources. The HRC's
recommendation to fund the Detox program also takes funding from other priorities, such as the
ADA compliant restrooms. These issues were discussed by the HRC and they fully understand
the complexity of the issue. However, they elected to recommend funding the Detox Program
and reducing funding in other areas in an effort to create an awareness of priorities for Council,
DISCUSSION
The County issued a draft Summary One-Year Action Plan on January 26`s, 2007. The Action
Plan describes activities proposed for funding by the entire Urban County, which includes the
cities of Arroyo Grande, Atascadero, Grover Beach, Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo, and
unincorporated San Luis Obispo County, through CDBG, Home Investment Partnership (HOME)
and Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) funds, and program income. The draft Action Plan is
summarized in this report, but the Council has approval authority only over those CDBG
activities requesting City funding. Council may recommend projects to receive Special Urban
Projects, HOME and ESG funds, although this step is not required.
The required 30-day public review period has closed and Council may now take final action on
the draft Action Plan and the City's CDBG program. The Board of Supervisors is tentatively
scheduled to act on the draft Action Plan in May 2007. The US Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) then reviews the plan and notifies the County in June, once it is
approved. Funding usually starts in September once grant agreements and environmental
reviews are completed for the funded projects.
Recent Changes to Funding Picture. This year the "Urban County" is expected to receive
approximately 5%-10% less than last year. With that possibility, most of the estimates used by
the County below are based on 2006 allocations. Countywide estimates (Attachment #3) are
$2,147,734 in CDBG funds, $1,158,000 in Home Investment Partnership Program (HOME)
funds, $91,799 in Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) funds, and $23,000 for the Housing Authority
in American Dream Downpayment Initiative (ADDI) Program which provides down payment
assistance to first-time homebuyers. The estimated 2007 CDBG allocations for each
1 - 2-

participating jurisdiction in the Urban County are:
Arroyo Grande: $108,355
Atascadero: $191,570
Grover Beach: $113,507
Paso Robles: $338,387
San Luis Obispo: $645,915
County: $750,000
HUD Objectives and Rules. The Urban County's CDBG activities must, by law, meet HUD
objectives and rules. HUD has three broad national objectives:
1. To benefit persons and households with incomes below 80 percent of area median
incomes ($51,040 for a four-person household);
2. To aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight; and
3. To meet urgent community development needs that pose a serious, immediate threat to
public health or welfare, such as floods, earthquakes or other disasters.
CDBG-eligible activities include: acquisition of real property, construction or rehabilitation of
public facilities and improvements, sitelbuilding clearance and demolition, tenant relocation,
provision of certain types of public services, removal of architectural barriers, housing
rehabilitation, historic preservation, code enforcement, special economic development activities,
planning studies and grant administration. HUD requires that at least 70 percent of the Urban
County's grants go to activities that benefit low- and moderate-income persons. At least 51
percent of individual project or program funds must benefit low- and moderate-income persons,
and up to 20 percent of the City's total funding can be used for overall CDBG program
administration and other indirect costs. Up to 15 percent of the Urban County's CDBG funds
can go toward Public Services.
Community Needs Hearings and Workshops. The Urban County hosted "needs" hearings at
several locations throughout the County to allow the public to identify community problems and
needs. The City's Human Relations Commission hosted one of the needs hearings at its August
30, 2006, meeting. About 21 people attended the hearing and voiced a wide variety of
community needs. These included the need for homeless services, affordable housing, senior
services, and counseling services. The County also hosted several public workshops during the
week of February 5th through 9t' in Grover Beach, Paso Robles and San Luis Obispo to receive
input on the Urban County Draft Funding Recommendations for CDBG, HOME, ESG, and
ADDI Program Applications.
Council Goals and Priorities. At its October 3, 2006 public hearing, Council reviewed the
HRC recommendation and unanimously agreed on the 2007 CDBG funding priorities shown
below:
2007 Community Development Brdck Grant Program
• Page 4
_Rank Approved 2001096 Program Priorities _.
1 Emergency shelter for homeless persons;homeless prevention and services
2 Enhance and develop housing affordable to low and very-low income persons, including
seniors.
3 Education concerning and/or removal of architectural barriers for the disabled and
elderly.
4 Economic development (to include seismic retrofit, enhance economic stability, and
provide 'obs for low/moderate incomepersons).
Advisory Body Recommendation. The HRC reviewed the CDBG applications in a workshop
on November 29, 2006 and held a public hearing on December 6, 2006 to review the 2007
CDBG funding requests. The Commission recommended funding the activities shown in
Attachment 1, and their actions are further described in the HRC minutes (Attachments 4 and 5).
The HRC's recommendation was based on an estimate of $645,915 which may need to be
revised to reflect final funding numbers once they are available. The next section of the report
summarizes each of the applications and notes where there are differences in funding between the
HRC and the CAO recommendations.
Application I2-07. (NOT RECOMMENDED BY CAO) Good Samaritan Shelter Inc. Detox
Program (HRC-$75,000). The applicant requested $500,000 for construction of a 12 bed detox
facility. The HRC recommended$50,000 in CDBG funds toward the development of the facility
including building, design and construction and $25,000 in CDBG funds toward planning and
analysis of site location and program development.
The CAO recommendation is to not fund the Good Samaritan Inc. Detoxification Program at this
time for three reasons:
1. Lack of Readiness and Timely use of Funds. Good Samaritan has requested $500,000 of the
estimated total $620,000 in anticipated City 2007 CDBG funds. A location for the facility
has not yet been identified and the project proposal relies on a donation of land for the
facility. The project has not been through any of the preliminary planning or public
processes, therefore it is unknown as to whether a location could be identified and the facility
built within the CDBG required timeline. CDBG regulations are tightening in regards to
timely use of funds. To award monies to a project that may not be able to develop in the
required 18-month period delays other projects that are ready to move forward if funded.
Ultimately, if the funds are not spent within the required timeframe, they may be lost.
2. Lack of Coordination. The EOC has expressed concerns about a lack of coordination with
Good Samaritan. EOC's vision of a Homeless Services Campus may be able to address
unmet detox needs. Furthermore, various other organizations are either in the planning stage
or already provide similar services (Project Amends is currently planning a 16-bed detox
facility; Life Steps Foundation and Middlehouse currently provide treatment services).
CDBG funding is limited and further reductions are expected. Therefore, it is necessary for
service providers to coordinate and for funding decisions to consider how the funding can be
leveraged to maximize the impact on the community.
2007 Community Development Block Grant Program • Page 5
3. Difficult. Tradeoffs. The NRC's recommendation reduces CDBG funding for previously
committed facility upgrades ensuring ADA compliance. It also reduces the allocation to
Program Administration which funds the Housing Programs Manager position. The position
was approved as part of a work plan supporting the major city goal to aggressively pursue a
variety of housing grants and programs to increase the City's affordable housing supply.
Although both of these activities could, potentially, be funded through the City's general
funds, they must then compete with other priorities and needs.
Application 2-07. EOC - Homeless Shelter Operation ($96,887). Public services, such as
homeless shelter operations, are limited to 15% of the City's total CDBG allocation and the
amount recommended is the maximum amount allowed under this limitation. The operation and
maintenance of the Homeless Shelter remains the City's top priority for CDBG funding. Should
the City's final CDBG allocation be lower, the Homeless Shelter will be eligible for 15% of the
lower amount. The HRC recommends the City allocate an additional $41,113 in General Funds.
Application 3-07. EOC - Prado Day Center Operations ($0 CDBG funds, $50,000 General
Funds). Similar to what has been done in previous years, the HRC recommended a General
Fund commitment of$50,000 for operations and maintenance of the Day Center. The Prado Day
Center serves homeless and working poor families every day of the year, providing lunch to an
average of 80 persons per day. The Center offers showers, restrooms, laundry, local phone, mail,
and other essential services to those in need.
Application 4-07. EOC—Replace HVAC for Health Services Clinic ($40,000). CDBG funding
is recommended to replace an existing HVAC system that is old and failing for a clinic serving
low income teens, families with needs relating to family planning, clinical services, education,
testing, and treatment in areas of health and reproductive issues.
Application 5-07. Judson Terrace Homes Repairs ($81,867). CDBG funding is recommended
for sidewalk replacements, smoke detectors, replacement of laundry room doors, and
replacement of 18 defective wall heaters for this facility that houses low income seniors.
Application 7-07. (CAO RECOMMENDS $225,000) City of San Luis Obispo ADA
Corrections at Santa Rosa Park Restrooms (HRC - $175,000). The HRC recommended
reducing the requested CDBG funding to $175,000 for the proposed ADA-related improvements
at Santa Rosa Park restrooms. It was determined by the City's Public Works Department that in
order to meet Department of Justice identified upgrades and fulfill a recent agreement with the
City and the Department, the over 50 year old restrooms are in need of reconstruction. Design
work is scheduled for completion in mid-2008 and construction could be completed by
December, 2008.
Application 8-07. City of San Luis Obispo ADA Corrections at Laguna Lake Park Restrooms
($400,000). Funding breakdown; $42,978 in 2007 CDBG funds, $183,845 in prior year CDBG
funds, $173,177 in General Fund. CDBG funding is recommended for restroom reconstruction
at Laguna Lake Park to improve accessibility for disabled and elderly persons. It was determined
by the City's Public Works Department that in order to meet Department of Justice identified
upgrades and fulfill a recent agreement with the City and the Department, the over 30 year old
restrooms are in need of reconstruction. Design work is scheduled for completion in mid-2008
and construction could be completed by December, 2008.

Application 14-07. San Luis Obispo Housing Authority - Anderson Hotel Exterior Painting
($30,000). CDBG funds are being recommended to paint and provide minor repairs to the
exterior of this downtown building which provides housing to very low income residents in a
total of 68 units. With recent development surrounding the structure, some improvements have
been made, yet this aging building remains in need of.
Application 6-076. (CAO RECOMMENDS $125,000) Program Administration (HRC -
$100,000). This request covers the Housing Programs Manager position responsible for
administration of the Community Development Block Grant program and development and
expansion of the City's affordable housing program. The County has asked the City to break out
"Housing Programs Administration" and "CDBG Program Administration." Both are CDBG
eligible yet due to HUD requirements, should be listed and conducted as separate grants with
distinct deliverables. The HRC is recommending that $25,000 be backfilled from the General
Fund for this request to augment CDBG money being recommended for the Good Samaritan
Detox Development Planning. The CAO recommends funding the position entirely from CDBG
funds.
Applications Not Recommended for CDBG Funding
Applications 11-07 Transitional Food and Shelter and 15-07 Life Steps (Attachment 1) are
requesting funding that falls under"public services". Under CDBG rules, there is a 15% cap on
the amount of CDBG funds that can be used for public services and the City fully allocates its
public services funds each year to the Homeless Shelter. Consequently, while these additional
public service requests are eligible and meet a community need, there is not sufficient public
services capacity to fund them using CDBG funds. Transitional Food & Shelter Motel Voucher
Program ($5,000) and Life Steps Foundation, Inc., Alcohol/Drug Free Living Center ($1,283) are
not recommended for funding by either the HRC or the CAO.
Given the City's priority commitment to funding Prado Day Center, the $50,000 request for
Prado Day Center operation would be funded using General Funds, in keeping with prior Council
direction. The other three Public Service requests (Applications 3-5) have been referred to the
Grants-in-Aid (GIA) program or may be successful in gaining CDBG funds from other
jurisdictions.
Applications 9-07, 10-07, 13-07 and 14-07 (Attachment 1) would fund "public facilities" as
defined under HUD rules. Two projects for the City of San Luis Obispo (ADA Street
improvements $180,000 and Rosa Butron Adobe Rehabilitation $50,000) and one project from
the Housing Authority (New Office and Maintenance Building $100,000) are not recommended
for funding by either the HRC or the CAO.
Special Urban Projects Funding. Under the Cooperation Agreement, 15% of the net County
funding is set-aside annually for a "Special Urban Projects Fund." Funds are available to all
participating jurisdictions on a competitive basis and are awarded by the Board of Supervisors.
As with HOME and FSG funds, the proposed activities are recommended by county staff.
Special urban projects are those that are more regional in scope, meet an urgent community need,
provide direct benefit to very needy groups (very-low income, disabled persons, at-risk youth),
/—C�p

and would not be feasible without special funding assistance. $112,500 (includes 15% of
unincorporated county program income) is available in the 2007 Program Year. The following
table shows the proposed use of Special Urban Project Funds. These activities qualify as Special
Urban Projects by serving critical needs of low-income residents from San Luis Obispo County.

Maxine Lewis Memorial Shelter, Operation EOC 87,500
Prado Day Center, Operation EOC 25,000
TOTAL 112,500
HOME Funding. The Urban County expects to receive $1,158,551 in formula HOME funds in
2007, including program income. HOME funds in 2007 are being recommended for three
housing projects in Templeton, Atascadero, and Paso Robles and for a rehab project in San Luis
Obispo. In 2006, Grover Beach, Avila Beach, and Paso Robles received HOME funds. The 2007
HOME-funded recommendation that would directly benefit City residents is $34,000 to the
Women's Shelter Program of the County of San Luis Obispo for the rehabilitation of transitional
housing in the City.
ESG Funding. The Urban County is estimated to receive $91,799 in Emergency Shelter Grant
Funds in 2007. Of this, approximately $35,251 is tentatively slated for the Maxine Lewis
Memorial Shelter, $20,765 for the Prado Day Center, $7,114 for the Women's Shelter Program,
and the balance earmarked for homeless services and facilities in other County areas.
FISCAL IMPACT
Overall, CDBG funding has a beneficial fiscal effect. To the extent that qualified, on-going City
programs are funded through the CDBG program, more General Fund monies are available for
other important capital projects and programs.
ALTERNATIVES
1. The City Council may change the list of projects to receive City CDBG funding, and/or
change the funding levels from those recommended.
2. The City Council may direct staff to return at a later date with an evaluation of different
funding recommendations.

City Clerk Hooper gave an overview of the upcoming Advisory Body Recruitments.
She noted Commissioner Wolff's term was ending and he was not eligible to serve
again, however she encouraged him to consider serving on another advisory body. She
also noted Commissioners Forsberg's and Wheeler's terms were also ending and noted
they were both eligible to reapply for another term.
Item 2. PRELIMINARY REVIEW OF STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE
2007 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANTS (CDBG).
(HOOK)
Senior Planner Hook presented an overview of the 2007 CDBG program and timeline.
He noted staff used the amount granted last year as a working budget for this year. He
urged the HRC to focus on projects that could go forward now and noted that it was
most likely the City would receive at least 10% less than was granted last year. He
further explained the entire 15% allowed for public services would go toward funding
the Homeless Shelter operation as had been done in the past. He noted there were no
applications for new housing this year, only requests for repairs at Judson Terrace and
the Anderson Hotel. He recommended reallocation of unused funds from previous
CDBG program years which totaled $222,319.
Chairperson Nichols suggested the HRC consider allocating 10% less at the Public
Hearing since it seemed the CDBG grants were declining every year.
Senior Planner Hook responded that staff had typically not allocated less, but had
noted what amount might be used as a "check book"; being reduced if overall CDBG
funding was reduced. He suggested that the $42,978 applied to the ADA restroom at
Laguna Lake Park could be reduced if necessary.
Commissioner Wolff inquired if there was a policy prohibiting CDBG funding to faith-
based institutions.
Senior Planner Hook reported there was no policy in place and noted faith-based
institutions were major users of CDBG funds across the country.
Chairperson Nichols opened the discussion for public comments.
Cherri Neal, new Director of Life Steps Foundation, explained that she only learned
today that Life Steps Foundation had been awarded $17,657 in 2005 for repairs to the
Life Steps Drug/Alcohol Center. Unfortunately, due to changes in administration, that
piece of information was not passed on to the current administration. She assured the
HRC that.Life Steps Foundation had current bids in place and was ready to go forward

with repairs immediately. She urged the HRC not to reallocate the funds but leave
them in place.
Chairperson Nichols inquired if it would be possible to consider this request at the
Public Hearing of December 6, 2006.
Senior Planner Hook agreed to meet with Director Neal, to discuss the request, and
report back at the December 6, 2006 meeting.
Deputy Director of Public Works Lynch gave an overview of the two Americans With
Disability Act (ADA) compliance applications submitted by the City to make accessible
restrooms in two City parks. She explained these applications were part of the City's
agreement with the Department of Justice (DOJ) to bring the City into full ADA
compliance following the City's DOJ ADA audit.
Commissioner Sant inquired why restroom improvements at one park were almost
double. He also asked why it was so expensive to complete these projects.
Deputy Director of Public Works Lynch responded there were two restrooms to
complete at Laguna Lake Park and only one at Santa Rosa Park. She also noted the
construction of a similar restroom in the downtown seven years ago cost over
$200,000. Since then construction costs increased by approximately 50% due to
increased fuel, concrete, and steel prices.
Commissioner Wolff inquired whether this project would go forward if there were not
enough CDBG funds to complete it.
Deputy Director of Public Works Lynch reported staff would need to ask Council to
allocate funds from the City's General Fund as part of the 2007-09 Financial Planning
process.
Chairperson Nichols suggested the HRC make a recommendation at the upcoming
public hearing in support of using General Funds should the CDBG funds fall short.
Commissioners agreed by consensus.
Chairperson Nichols expressed concern the $188,000 requested for the Homeless
Shelter operation wasn't sufficient. She reminded commissioners during the last year
when the shelter almost closed they came to the City and County to ask for emergency
funding.

Council Member Mulholland stated the City did give the shelter a one-time
supplement of $30,000 but they were not expected to come back for more.
Director of Human Resources Irons further stated following their request, a taskforce
was formed to strategize and plan for the shelter's long-term funding.
Vice Chairperson Lamb expressed concern that $30,000 to paint the entire exterior of
the Anderson Hotel seemed low. He noted his home was repainted last year for $9,000
but the hotel is much larger.
Chairperson Nichols asked Senior Planner Hook to follow up with the applicant.
Senior Planner Hook agreed to follow up and report back at the upcoming public
hearing.
Commissioner Wolff asked Senior Planner Hook if there was a reason there weren't
any housing proposals this year.
Senior Planner Hook responded the cost of land was so high that even with matching
funds non-profit organizations could not afford land acquisitions.
COMMISSIONER COMMENTS
Director of Human Resources Irons reminded Commissioners they would have an
opportunity to review and revise their Advisory Body Goal Recommendations for the
2007-2009 budget cycle at the HRC's December 6, 2006 meeting. She noted she will
be on vacation for that meeting, but Risk Manager Jenny would be attending in her
place. She polled HRC members to determine if everyone would be in attendance at
the December 6, 2006 public hearing. All Commissioners, with the exception of
Commissioner Wheeler, reported they would be there.
Deputy Director of Community Development Murry reported People's Self Help
Housing recently broke ground for a 28-unit apartment complex_ . They hope to have it
ready for occupancy in 18 months.
There being no further business to come before the HRC, Chairperson Nichols,
adjourned the HRC meeting at 6:10 p.m. to the next regular meeting of the HRC to be
held on Wednesday, December 6, 2006 at 5:00 p.m. in the Council Hearing Room.

placed under public services because their funds were destined for construction of a
detox center. She urged the HRC to fund their request.
Seeing no other speakers, Chairperson Nichols, closed the public comment period.
She spoke in support of moving the Good Samaritan Shelter Detox Program from
Public Services to Public Facilities so the HRC could consider funding this item. Since
CDBG funding would be less than the previous year, she asked staff to provide a
realistic dollar amount the HRC could consider when making their recommendations.
She reported the HRC learned at the meeting of November 29, 2006 there were
$222,319 in unused CDBG funds which could be reallocated to 2007 CDBG funding.
Additionally she noted Life Steps Foundation attended the previous meeting and
requested their unused grant of $17,657 not be reallocated. She spoke in support of
Life Steps retaining the grant. She was also supportive of taking money from the
General Fund to finance the City's Laguna Lake Park ADA Restroom project and using
that money to finance the Good Samaritan Shelter Detox Program. She spoke in
support of the City developing a more proactive plan to address homeless issues and
transitioning homeless individuals into housing.
Senior Planner Hook stated if the HRC were interested in funding the Good Samaritan
Shelter Detox Program it could be moved to Public Facilities. However, he expressed
concern because no site had been identified in either the City or County. He reminded
the HRC of the importance of funding CDBG projects which are ready to proceed.
Assistant City Administrative Officer Stanwvck suggested the City could ask the
EOC Homeless Services as part of their Homeless Services Grant request to work in
concert with the Good Samaritan Shelter Detox Program as an alternative.
Commissioner Wolff agreed and noted a Detox Program could be part of the one-stop
service campus proposed by EOC Homeless Services.
Vice Chairperson Lamb stated he was supportive of Life Steps retaining their grant,
however, he wanted them to be more vigilant in the future: He spoke of the importance
of having a detox facility for both the City and the County. He suggested reallocating
$225,000 from the Santa Rosa restroom project to the Good Samaritan Shelter Detox
Program. Even though he believed Council would not be supportive, he wanted to send
a message to them. He was also supportive of the EOC Homeless Services Planning
grant, however, he was unsure if a detox site should be part of a one-stop service
campus. He spoke in support of separating the funding, moving the Good Samaritan
Shelter Detox.Program to Public Facilities and providing funding for the Good
Samaritan Detox Program.
Commissioner Forsberg concurred with Vice Chairperson Lamb.

Commissioner Sant noted he was moved by the public testimony. He spoke against
funding ADA compliant restrooms.
Chairperson Nichols noted the City was under a court judgment to make the
restrooms ADA compliant. She further stated that while $225,000 seemed like a
significant amount to make the restrooms compliant, HRC heard testimony at their last
meeting as to why it was so expensive.
Commissioner Wolff argued that while the HRC heard moving testimony from the
community, there was no one here representing those With accessibility issues. He was
supportive of retaining the funding to make the restrooms ADA compliant. He reiterated
he wanted to combine planning and site search. He noted in Santa Maria the Detox
Program worked well on their one-stop services campus.
Commissioner Sant argued over one-third of the CDBG funding was going toward
compliant restrooms and felt that was out of proportion. As a compromise he
suggested not reallocating all ADA restroom project funding.
Senior Planner Hook cautioned while t-he Good Samaritan Shelter Detox Program,
was sound and compelling, it was not ripe for funding at this time. Since Good
Samaritan didn't have a site or approved project yet, it would be at least a year or two
until the funds would be spent. He further stated since the HRC seemed to be leaning
toward taking money from the ADA compliant restroom projects, he suggested they use
the $42,198 from the City's Laguna Lake Park restroom project and leave the $225,000
for the City's Santa Rosa Park restroom.
Vice Chairperson Lamb asked if the HRC could recommend a decrease in the City's
Program Administration.
Senior Planner Hook stated they could, but such an option would require the City to
make up the difference with General Funds.
Chairperson Nichols noted the staff report was not in agreement with the HRC. She
stated it was the HRC's intention to raise consciousness of the need for a Detox
Program.
Commissioner Wolff argued that planning for a Detox Program seemed premature
because without a site this project could not proceed for many months.
.Sylvia Bernard, Executive Director Good Samaritan Shelter, reported their board could
put a program together in a short time frame. She warned if the HRC postponed
support there wouldn't be a facility until 2008. She urged the HRC not to wait.
Commissioner Gingg left at 6:27 p.m..

ACTION: Moved by Lamb/Wolff to move $25,000 from Program Administration
to be used for the Good Samaritan Shelter in the planning of a Detox Center and
support the other staff recommendations; motion carried 5:0 (Gingg and Wheeler
absent).
Commissioner Sant noted Good Samaritan Shelter needed $500,000 for their Detox
Program and suggested using the $225,000 slated for the Santa Rosa Park rest-room
for that project.
Chairperson Nichols inquired if the HRC could split the allocation.
Senior Planner Hook stated they could.
Vice Chairperson Lamb concurred. He further stated the County needed to consider
participating as well.
Assistant City Administrative Officer Stanwyck reported there has been an ongoing
dialogue with the County regarding this program. She noted it had already been taken
to County as well as to other cities.
ACTION: Moved by Sant/Lamb to transfer Good Samaritan Shelter Inc. from
Public Services to Public Facilities and allocate $50,000 from Santa Rosa Park
Restroom Project to Good Samaritan Shelter Detox Program; motion carried 4:1
(Wolff no and Gingg and Wheeler absent).
Commissioner Wolff asked what would happen to the City's ADA Restroom Projects.
Senior Planner Hook answered since the City was under a mandate to complete these
projects, the funding would most likely come from the City's Genera-I Funds. He asked
if the HRC wanted to address the issue of what would be done if the actual CDBG grant
amount received was less than anticipated. He noted the CDBG grant.could be
$65,000 less than anticipated. He suggested taking $42,978 in the Laguna Lake
restroom project and the remainder from the Santa Rosa Park restroom project.
ACTION: Moved byLarnb/Sant if the 2007 CDBG grants were less than
anticipated then use the $42,978 funding from the Laguna Lake Park restroom
project first, then augment from the funds slated for the Santa Rosa Park
restroom project to make up the difference; motion carried 5:0.*

BUSINESS ITEMS
Item 2. REVIEW THE.DRAFT ADVISORY BODY GOAL RECOMMENDATIONS
FOR THE 2007-2009 FINANCIAL PLAN. (NICHOLS)
Chairperson Nichols reminded the HRC they formulated draft recommendations but
did not adopt their final Advisory Body Goals for the 2007-2009 Financial Plan. She
presented a tentative draft which she prepared prior to the meeting and allowed time
for the HRC to read it.
Vice Chairperson.Lamb suggested the HRC consider hosting dialogues similar to
those held for recent Methamphetamine Addiction Forums because they brought many
venues together. Additionally he noted the enumeration data indicated only 4% of the
homeless were in a shelter. He stressed the importance of being able to broaden the
discussion, go beyond current infrastructure in order to serve the vast majority of
homeless individuals.
Assistant City Administrative Officer Stanwyck suggested adding a community
substance abuse discussion as a new goal.
Commissioner Wolff was supportive of expanding services for those with disabilities.
Commissioner Sant agreed it was a great working document that captured the spirit of
the prior meeting.
ACTION: Moved by Lamb/Sant:to adopt the following HRC 2007-2.009 Advisory
Body Goals; motion carried 5:0 (Gingg and Wheeler absent).
Homeless Prevention and Transition Plan
Support a long-term, comprehensive, proactive, sustainable program that
addresses events that precipitate homelessness and transitions people out of
homelessness.
How:
1. HRC provides oversight. Involve the HRC more in the City's efforts to
address these issues. Often times task forces are formed or staff is assigned
responsibilities dealing with this issue and the HRC is not involved.
2. Research best practices for homeless prevention, housing and transitional
assistance.
Human Relations Commission Minutes Attachment 5
December 6,2006 `<
Page 7
3. Maintain and strengthen existing infrastructure and financial resources for
homeless services. To maintain is the minimum, however the HRC would like
the City to apply funds and expertise in addressing this issue on a broader
scale which would include people who fall out of the scope of the traditional
system.
Why:
The Recent enumeration study of homelessness in our community suggests that
these are our citizens too— and not the transients we may have thought them to
be. They are children, they are frail, they are disabled and they are elderly.
Support services for low income and very low income
Through other City programs, such as Parks and Recreation and community
partnerships, address other supportive services needs such as convenient child
care, transportation and homeless prevention (including onetime utility or rental
assistance).
How:
1. Examine existing City services and programs with an eye to serving the
needs of this population. Does the City do what it can to: waive or discount
fees in programs such as recreation, utility assistance, offer child care at
convenient times and locations. Are there other community services
providers the City can partner with to provide services?
2. Do what the City can to let people know of these services:
a) Utilize the City's public access station to promote services and make
it known that services are available at discounted rates for families and
individuals that qualify.
b) Utilize the City s utility bills to enhance information about City services to its
low-income residents.
Why:
Beyond the issues of housing, people in this income bracket have other needs
for supportive services, such as child care, transportation, etc. In many cases,
given our business demographic, these people also represent the back of the
service industry, without which City sales tax and transient occupancy taxes
would suffer—as would the business climate that generates these funds.
Support services that address basic needs for seniors
Attachment 5
Human Relations Commission Minutes
December 6,2006 __..._......,_
Page 8
Marshal community resources to combat the challenges of the aging. Many of
the same issues as above, including services that prevent isolation, due to
transportation barriers, loss of social network and or family.
Mental health problems associated with this population is high. Issues around
social interaction, isolation and depression can have profound effects.
Look to other service providers for service partnerships. In some cases, the
needs are falling beyond the scope of current services that are offered —such as
the need for transportation to health care visits.
How and Why as above.
Supportive services for those with disabilities
Be proactive in making the City of San Luis Obispo known as an accessible city.
How:
1. Continue to make City facilities and services accessible.
2. Research Naples Florida and Canon Beach Oregon as models to emulate.
3. Help businesses understand the potential revenue benefits.
4. Continue to dedicate funds to tourism promotion to this sector.
5. Provide updated access information.
Why
It's more than simply the right thing to do; it's right for the community citizens and
can enhance community revenues through tourism.
Supportive services for youth
Look at the Search Institute Asset Development Model as a foundation upon
which to structure community services to youth. The City has a broad range of
existing services that may be improved or modified by recognizing the role the
City can play in developing our youth.
How:
1. Continue to provide positive programs targeted to children of all ages.

2. Look closely at services offered to children in their early teens, ages 12 — 15.
This is an age when children are most likely to reach out and are often
overlooked in program services.
3. Partner with other community services to let families and children know of
opportunities in the community.
Why
Research shows that the more "developmental assets" a child develops or
acquires, the less likely (proportionately) he/she is to engage in "at risk" or
unhealthy behaviors. Beyond "providing services", the City could be seen and
known as a community dedicated to building strong kids through mentoring,
demonstration and City engagement in the community.
Initiate a broad dialogue to address the issue of substance abuse.
Work to bringing the entire community together to have a discussion on
substance abuse.
How:
1. Increase conversations with the County of San Luis Obispo and other service
providers on this topic.
2. Support the funding of the Detox grant.
3. Replicate the Methamphetamine Addiction Forums.
Why:
Each person under the influence affects a myriad of people. Substance abusers
place a drain on resources. Substance abuse is one of the root causes of
homelessness.
Item 3. REVIEW 2007 GRANTS-IN-AID (GIA) APPLICATION. (NICHOLS)
Chairperson Nichols asked Commissioners to review the 2006 GIA application form to
determine if there was interest in revising the form.
ACTION.: Moved by Lamb/Sant not to change the GIA application form (other
than revising the dates) since it had been redone last year. Commissioners
agreed they were pleased with the current format; motion carried 5:0 (Gingg and
Wheeler absent).

Paso Robles and the County of San Luis Obispo; and
WHEREAS, said cities and County cooperatively administer several federal grant
programs under the provisions of the Cooperative Agreement approved by the San Luis Obispo
City Council on July 13, 1999 and as amended on September 7, 1999, and under applicable U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development Department (HUD) rules; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to said agreement, the Urban County Public Participation Plan and
HUD rules, the City Council held a public hearing on March 6, 2007, to consider funding
recommendation by the Human Relations Commission (HRC), to review applications for federal
grant funding, and to consider public comments on community needs and the use of such funds;
and
WHEREAS, The Council has considered applications for Community Development

partnership (HOME), Emergency Shelter Grants (ESG), and the Special Urban Projects Fund,
HRC recommendation and staff report; and
WHEREAS, the Council has also considered previous years' CDBG funding allocations
and determined that amendments are necessary to re-allocate unused funds, or to re-allocate
funds to activities with greater community need or urgency.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of San Luis
Obispo as follows:
SECTION 1. Environmental Determination. The Council hereby determines that the
proposed funding actions are not"projects" as defined by Section 21065 of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), since they will not cause a direct or indirect physical change

Mayor Dave Romero and Council Members MEETING AGENDA..
City of San Luis Obispo
990 Palm Street DATEA�kl ITEM # T1t I
San Luis Obispo, CA 93401
Dear Mayor Romero and Council Members:
Because of recent publicity about the meth epidemic, San Luis Obispo County
communities have gained an awareness of the need for drug and alcohol detc;x/treatment.
It is one thing to read newspaper articles about the"meth menace" but it is a totally
different experience when it affects your home and family. As people call Project
Amend, looking for a residential facility in which their loved ones can get desperately
needed help, they are literally shocked to learn there are currently no treatment centers in
this county. They never thought their family would need such a place but, once the
critical need has been identified,they just assumed such a facility would be available.
Project Amend has been serving San Luis Obispo County as a Sober Living Environment
for more than five years, with more than 400 men coming through our doors for help and
support. We have been working for the past two years to move up to a higher level of
care to help address our county's need for residential treatment and detox services. To
this end, we have completed most of the licensing requirements with the California
Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs.
We have developed our goals and procedures, as well as our daily treatment schedule for
a 12-step based, social model treatment/detox facility. Our application has received
preliminary review by the California Association of Addiction Recovery Resources and
found to be exemplary. The only item still required before submittal of our licensing
application is receiving the Fire Marshal's clearance, which is contingent on installing
,fire sprinkler and fire alarm systems, including a backflow valve and upgrade to the water
service. The total cost for the systems has been quoted at approximately $20,000.
We have just signed a contract with County Drug/Alcohol Services to provide beds for
Proposition 36 participants. We are also working with the County Departments of
Mental Health, Parole and Probation,as well as the Drug Court Program. With the City's
financial support, Project Amend will achieve a license to provide a 16-bed residential
treatment facility including up to six beds designated for social-model detox.
• J
We ask for your help to make in-county residential drug and alcohol treatment a reality
for men in San Luis Obispo County.
Sincerely,
��7

DISCUSSION
Housing Authority Application for $30,000 to Paint the Exterior of the Anderson Hotel
On Friday, March 2, the Housing Authority alerted City staff that its original estimate of$30,000
to paint the exterior of the Anderson Hotel would be inadequate. A more recent estimate
suggests that it will cost $120,000 to paint the building. Therefore, the $30,000 proposed to be
allocated (in both the Human Relations Commission and CAO's Recommendations) to the
Housing Authority will not fully fund the applied for project; it may however be adequate to
cover some of the preparation work in advance of a complete painting project that could be
funded from 2008 CDBG funds (if requested and approved).
Because staff has not had the opportunity to fully analyze this alternative with the Housing
Authority, and because of the possibility that the City's actual CDBG allocation may be reduced
in the President's Budget, staff recommends funding this option as requested with the direction
to work with the Housing Authority to determine the scope and cost of a revised (or phased)
project. If after consultation with the Housing Authority we learn that a painting project cannot
benefit from this allocation in 2007 then an alternative would be to use the potential savings to
offset any further reduced federal allocations.
Project Amend Letter of March 6, 2007
Project Amend Inc. has requested $20,000 in CDBG funding to install a sprinkler system and fire
alarm to their existing Residential Treatment facility in order to receive clearance from the Fire
Marshall as part of the State licensing requirements to operate a Detox Facility at 657 Sweeney
Street in San Luis Obispo. This request was submitted well beyond the application deadline of
October 31, 2006 and therefore has not gone through the grant application process. To consider
it at tonight's hearing would be precedent setting and contrary to a developed and extensive
process of review.

In addition to not being a part of the grant review process for CDBG funds, by not having a
completed grant application neither staff, the Human Relations Commission, nor public, has had
the opportunity to review the details of this concept within the context of the City's 2007 CDBG
Grant Program. Another consideration for Council is that detox facilities while providing a
needed community service, are typically more appropriately funded by counties which receive
funding for social services of this nature. County staff have indicated that they will most likely
be re-allocating unused CDBG funds from 2006 to contribute to this particular project.
