CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO
FROM: John Mandeville, Long-Range ng Manager
Prepared By: Jeff Hook, Associate PI
SUBJECT: 2002 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM
CAO RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution, as recommended by the Human Relations Commission, that: 1) approves the
2002 CDBG Program activities and funding in the amount of $946,205, 2) amends previous
years' CDBG programs, 3) endorses the Urban County's Draft One-Year Action Plan, including
HOME, Special Urban Projects and Emergency Shelter Grant funding, and 4) forwards the
Council's actions and funding recommendations to the Board of Supervisors.
REPORT-IN-BRIEF
The City received 14 CDBG funding requests for the 2002 Program Year, totaling about $1.45
million. Estimated CDBG funding for 2002 is $946,205. The City can, however, fund more
activities than otherwise possible by reallocating unspent CDBG funds from previous years for
2002 activities. This year marks the first time the Human Relations Commission (HRC)
participated in the CDBG Program following changes approved by Council in 2001. The HRC's
recommendations support: 1) affordable housing and homeless services, 2) repaying the City's
Section 108 federal loan, 3) sidewalk improvements in the Huasna/Oceanaire Neighborhood, and
4) handicapped ramp installation in city streets.
The County has issued a draft Summary One-Year Action Plan of the Consolidated Plan. That
plan, Attachment 4, describes activities proposed for funding by the entire Urban County, which
includes the cities of Arroyo Grande, Atascadero, Grover Beach, Paso Robles, and San Luis
Obispo; and unincorporated San Luis Obispo County, including CDBG, Home Investment
Partnership (HOME) and Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) funds, and program income. The
required 30-day public review period has closed and Council may now take final action on the
draft Action Plan and CDBG program. The Board of Supervisors is tentatively scheduled to act
on the Plan on April 2, 2002.
DISCUSSION
Background. San Luis Obispo is entering its ninth grant year as a participating city in the San
Luis Obispo Urban County. The grant year runs from July 1, 2002 through June 2003. This year
the Urban County is expected to receive about the same level of funding as last year: $2.8
million in CDBG funds, $1.26 million in Home Investment Partnership Program (HOME) funds,
and$95,000 in Emergency Shelter Grant(ESG) funds.

Consolidated Plan/HUD approval. Under the Urban County cooperation agreement, the
Council considers the draft "One-Year Action Plan." This is the core of the Urban County's
HUD-required Consolidated Plan (CP). Other sections of the CP are mostly background
information on community needs and demographics and are not significantly changed from
previous years.
The City Council reviews the draft Action Plan but 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 final CP will include
each jurisdiction's adopted CDBG program and the Board's approved Special Urban Projects,
HOME and ESG projects before the CP is submitted to HUD in May. HUD then reviews the
plan and notifies the Urban County in June once it is approved. Funding starts in July or early
August once grant agreements and environmental reviews are completed.
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 HRC hosted one of the needs hearings at the San Luis Obispo
City/County Library on October 3, 2001. Over 30 people attended the late afternoon hearing and
addressed a wide variety of community needs. These included affordable housing, recreation
programs for disabled youth, homeless services, literacy programs, health care for low-income
women and other needs. Attachment 3 includes a summary of the hearing comments.
On January 10, 2002 a public workshop was held at the City/County Library on the 2002
Consolidated Plan and to answer questions about the 2002 funding recommendations.
Workshop participants supported the use of CDBG funds for affordable housing projects and
emphasized the need to fully-fund homeless services, including the S_LO Homeless Shelter and
the Prado Day Center.
Advisory Body Recommendation. At its November 14, 2001 meeting, the HRC held a
public hearing to review the 2002 CDBG funding requests. The Commission recommended
funding is shown in Table 1, and is further described in the HRC minutes, Attachment 2.
HUD expects grantees to undertake projects as soon after grant approval as possible and to avoid
accumulating unused CDBG funds. Consequently, the HRC recommended giving preference to:
1) activities which can be undertaken relatively quickly; 2) repaying the City's Section 108 Loan,
3) programs with a continuing, urgent need, such as operation of the San Luis Obispo Homeless
Shelter, and 3) those activities which appear most consistent with Council goals and priorities,
such as assisting affordable housing projects and continuing the installation of handicapped
ramps on city streets. Funding for one new activity is recommended: repair of sidewalks and
installation of new street trees in the Huasna/Oceanaire Neighborhood.

Notes:
No Description
Due to project savings on the Carnegie Library seismic/ADA improvement project,$94;500 is remaining in
Section 108 loan proceeds. It is recommended this balance be transferred to activity#2.
Because we are at our maximum of 15% for public services,it is recommended that this activity be funded
from the balance in the Park Hotel loan repayment fund. This fund, originally funded with a State CDBG
grant,currently has a balance of$80,000 and can be used for public services.
8/9 If the City is able to exceed the 15%Public Services cap, HRC recommends funding these activities at the
10 requested level,with the additional funding coming from activity#12.
12 See note 8/9/10. It is recommended that$107,300 in unused Program Administration funding be transferred
to this activity.
Council Goals and Priorities. Last October, on recommendation by the HRC, the City
Council reaffirmed the City's CDBG funding priorities as follows:
33
I
Council Agenda Report - 2002 Community Development Block Grant Program
Page 4
1. Affordable housing.
2. Emergency shelter for homeless persons.
3. Removal of architectural barriers for the disabled and elderly.
4. Economic development (to enhance economic stability, provide jobs for low/moderate
income persons, and remove spot blight conditions).
5. Childcare and youth recreation services.
The HRC also recommended that Council give " special consideration for affordable housing and
shelter." The recommended CDBG funding reflects these priorities.
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 ($40,150 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. Projects must also meet federal eligibility criteria and
rules. For example, 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.
CDBG Applications Recommended For Funding
Application I-02. Section 108 Loan. In 1998, the City began to draw down its approved
Section 108 federally guaranteed loan of$1.65 million. The loan was used to fund the Housing
Authority's purchase and development of affordable housing ($1 million) and to rehabilitate the
historic Carnegie Library building. Loan payments will be made over six years, with funding
from the City's annual CDBG allocation. Council selected the six-year loan repayment schedule
to retire the debt quickly and to minimize effects on the City's ongoing CDBG-funded projects.
This year, $322,000 is needed to cover principal and estimated interest payments in 2002-2003.

Application 2-02. Judson Terrace Lodge — Frail Elderly Housing. Judson Terrace Lodge
Corporation (JTL), a local non-profit housing provider, plans to build 32 apartments for low-
income, frail elderly persons in San Luis Obispo. Council allocated $94,000 in 2001 CDBG
funds for property acquisition. JTL has secured the necessary planning approvals and gone out to
construction bids for this project after securing about $1.4 Million in local support, including
funding from both the City and County of San Luis Obispo. Due to several factors, project costs
have come in significantly higher than expected, leaving a funding gap of $579,157. To help
close the gap and provide funding for handicapped accessibility, JTL requests a contribution of
$108,000 in City CDBG funds.
The City has already taken several actions to support this project, including a contribution of
$215,000 from the City's Affordable Housing Fund, planning and architectural design approvals,
and waiver of approximately $432,000 in City fees to accommodate affordable housing. The
Urban County has already allocated $700,000 in HOME funds, and the federal government
(HUD) has approved $2.6 Million in Section 202 funds to provide tenant rent subsidies. Given
the project's clear benefits to low-income elderly persons and it's readiness to proceed, the HRC
strongly supported JTL's request.
Application 3-02. Peoples' Self-Help Housing Corporation requests $350,000 to purchase
property for a new, mixed-use development that would include about 20 apartments and 4,000
square feet of commercial space. The project would meet a critical need for affordable rental
housing for low- and very-low income families and single parents. Peoples' Self-Help Housing
Corporation has a successful track record in providing rental and purchase housing for very-low
income households through San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Counties. The unincorporated
County is recommending $500,000 in HOME funds.
Application 4-02. ASN Housing Restoration and Energy Efficiency Project, Phase 2. The
Aids Support Network requests $10,000 to repair or replace windows at the 9-unit Adriance
Apartments. The historic Adriance Apartments provide affordable rental housing for low- and
very-low income persons living with HIV or AIDS. The City holds a second trust deed on the
property to ensure its long-term use as affordable housing. The City allocated$25,000 in CDBG
funds last year for this project; however additional funds are needed to complete the project due
to increased costs and the desire to restore or match the historic wood sash windows as
recommended by the Cultural Heritage Committee.
Application 6-02. Operating Expenses for the Homeless Shelter. The Economic Opportunity
Commission requests $138,000 to cover the Shelter's annual operating costs. The County plans
to allocate about $150,000 for the Homeless Shelter in CDBG and general fund monies this year.
Application 7-02. Prado Day Center. Due to HUD's 15% funding cap on public services
spending, most of our allowed "public services" funding is committed to the Homeless Shelter by
previous agreement with the County. Staff continues to recommend a funding strategy for the
-S

Page 6
Prado Day Center (PDC) which: 1) continues our previous level of support, 2) uses the Park
Hotel Housing Rehabilitation Loan Repayment Fund to fund the PDC, and 3) postpones the use
of General Funds to operate the PDC as long as possible. The Park Hotel Loan will be paid off
in three years. With the current fund balance and remaining loan payments to be made, the Fund
will cover PDC operating costs for at least two more years. After the Park Hotel note is paid-off
and the existing fund balance exhausted, the City will need to either use the General Fund, find
another funding source or discontinue funding this program
Application 11-02. Handicapped Access Ramps in City Streets. As part of its on-going ramp
installation program, the City's Public Works Department requests $150,000 to install an
additional 25 ramps to meet Americans With Disabilities standards. The HRC supported funding
this activity at last year's level, and Public Works is amenable to the reduced funding level given
high level of public works activity already planned or underway.
Application 12-02. Huasna/0ceanaire Neighborhood Improvement Project. The Public
Works Department requests $140,000 to repair damaged public sidewalk and remove and replace
230 street trees in the Huasna/Oceanaire Neighborhood. The purpose of the activity is to
improve the safety and appearance of streets in a neighborhood that qualifies as predominantly
low-income under HUD standards. The HRC supported full funding of this activity, with the
caveat that if the City can exceed its 15 percent public services cap, it reallocate funds from this
activity to fund some or all of applications 8-02, 9-02 and 10-02.
CDBG Applications Not Recommended For Funding
Application 5-02. Sojourn Services' requests $100,000 to build a one-bedroom apartment on
property it owns in San Luis Obispo for low-income housing. The property already has a duplex
and detached studio apartment. This application was not recommended for funding because
HUD rules do not allow CDBG funds to be used for the proposed activity (construction).
Application 8-01. Supportive Childcare for Developmentally Disabled Children. UCP of San
Luis Obispo County (formerly United Cerebral Palsy) requests $4,000 to help pay tuitions for
after school and summer recreation programs for low- and very-low income families with
disabled children. The program works with existing recreation programs throughout the County.
HRC felt this program met a community need but did not recommend funding because it felt this
type of on-going need may more appropriately be served through the City's Grants-in-Aid
program. The City already provides some scholarships for after-school recreation programs for
low-income families. Once CDBG-funded, on-going City support with limited public services
funds would be difficult. After funding the Homeless Shelter, about $3,975 is available to spend
on other public services. HRC supported funding this and the following two activities if the City
is able to exceed its 15 percent public services spending cap based on Countywide totals. In this
case, HRC recommends the additional funding come from activity 12-02, the Huasna/Oceanaire
Neighborhood Improvement Project. It does not appear, from the draft Consolidated Plan, there
will be an unallocated public services component during the 2002 Program Year.

Council Agenda Report-2002 Community Development Block Grant Program

Application 9-02. The Literacy Program. The Literacy Council of San Luis Obispo requests
$10,000 to provide operating funds to recruit and train volunteer "tutors" to teach adults how to
read, write and speak English. The HRC did not fund this program because it constitutes a
"public services" activity, and there are not sufficient public services funds available after first
funding the Homeless Shelter. While the demand for public services funding is large and on
going, the HRC exercised restraint by limiting public services spending to homeless services,
allowing a "cushion" of about $4,000 in case the City's actual CDBG allocation is less than
anticipated.
Application 10-02. Big Brothers Big Sisters. Big Brothers Big Sisters requests about $34,000
to help fund the operating costs for youth mentoring programs. As with the Literacy Program,
HRC did not recommend funding because the 15 percent public services spending cap prevents
the City from funding this activity in addition to the Homeless Shelter using Block Grant funds.
Application 13-02. Food Bank Coalition of SLO County. The City allocated $55,000 toward
purchase of a new warehouse for the Food Bank in 2001. The Food Bank requests an additional
$28,000 to meet its total funding request of $83,000 from the City of San Luis Obispo. Food
Bank has also requested and received funding from Paso Robles, Atascadero, Grover Beach,
Arroyo Grande and the Unincorporated County based on a formula that apportions the total
CDBG funding need ($300,000) among these six jurisdictions based on their 1990 percentages of
the County's total Low Income population. The HRC did not recommend additional funding for
this activity. According to County figures, the City of San Luis Obispo has about 28 percent of
the County's low-income persons, however the City received about nine percent of the total
pounds of food distributed by the Food Bank in San Luis Obispo County in 2001. Based on this
criterion, the City's share of total funding would be closer to $30,000. The City's 2001
allocation of $55,000 exceeded that target, providing almost one-fifth of the Food Bank's total.
Urban County funding. This,is a Public Facilities project. There is no percent funding cap.
Council may choose to allocate additional funds to this activity, but this will require a
commensurate reduction in funds for one or more other activities.
Application 14-02. Cuesta College Small Business Development Center. Cuesta College
requests $8,000 to help fund operating costs for its Small Business Development Center. The
Center provides training and technical services to those seeking to open or operate small
businesses. By its nature, the Center frequently serves low- and moderate-income persons who
would not be able to afford these services in the private sector. The HRC and staff viewed this
activity as a public services request that would result in the City exceeding HUD's 15 percent
cap. Given the City's priority funding for homeless services, the HRC did not recommend
funding this activity. The activity may qualify under HUD's rules as a Special Economic
Development activity. As such, it would not be subject to the 15 percent cap. The City already
funds economic development as part of the Economic Vitality Commission's Revolving Loan
Fund. The RLF has a balance of City CDBG funds totaling about $111,000. Staff recommends
that Council continue to fund economic development through the EVC and avoid new, piecemeal
i
Council Agenda Report-2002 Community Development Block Grant Program
Page 8
economic development grants that may reduce the effectiveness of CDBG funding and create an
expectation of on-going CDBG funding.
Program Amendments. HUD rules allow jurisdictions to amend previous CDBG program
allocations. A summary of the City's CDBG activities from 1994 through 2001 is included in the
Council reading file. Staff recommends amendments to three program years, to be approved at
the same time the Council acts on the 2002 CDBG Program. These amendments are shown in
Table 2. The amendments apply to two types of activities: 1) completed activities with funds
remaining, and 2) incomplete activities that are being discontinued. By amending previous year
programs, the City can reallocate funding to more urgent community needs or to activities with a
greater likelihood of being completed in a timely manner. $94,500 in Section 108 Loan funds,
originally earmarked for the rehabilitation of the Camegie Library, is available for reallocation to
another activity. Staff recommends the use of Section 108 Loan funds be amended to include
accessibility improvements for low-income, frail elderly housing at Judson Terrace Lodge.

Program Administration. HUD rules allow grantees to use up to 20 percent of their total CDBG
funding for general program administration. In previous program years, Council has typically
allocated 10 percent of the total CDBG funding be set aside for program administration. The
City has a balance of about $174,000 in CDBG funds from previous grant years available for
program administration. Based on previous years' administration costs, the City is unlikely to
Council Agenda Report - 2002 Community Development Block Grant Program
Page 9
use the full amount of funding available. Hence, $107,300 of the balance is proposed to
"backfill" funding for the Huasna/Oceanaire Neighborhood Improvements. About $67,000
would remain for 2002 general administrative costs.
Special Urban Projects Funding. Under the Cooperation Agreement, 15 percent 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. 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), and would not be feasible without special funding assistance. $160,967
is available in the 2002 Program Year. Table 3 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 throughout San Luis Obispo County.

in 2002. HOME-funded projects which could directly benefit City residents include $500,000
for a new mixed-use family apartment complex on South Higuera Street by People's Self-Help
Housing Corporation and $200,000 for Judson Terrace Lodge Frail Elderly Housing in San Luis

CDBG funding will have an overall 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.

Obispo Anne Slate and Jill Sylvain
PUBLIC COMMENT ON NON-AGENDA-ITEMS:.
There were no public comments made.
PUBLIC HEARING:
1. Consideration of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Applications for Program Year 2002.
Associate Planner Jeff Hook gave the staff report and noted that this item is
returning to the committee following last month's community needs hearing. He
stated that this was the first step in a multi- step grant approval process that
Council identified back in July of this year to retool and revise their whole block
grant process. He added this is the first time the HRC is in the role of advisory to
the City Council in deciding how the City's annual block grants are going to be
allocated. He stated the committee is being asked to make recommendations on
how the City should spend its current annual allocation of Block Grant Funds and
the reallocation of unspent Block Grant Funds allocated in previous years.
Associate Planner Hook stated the City Council recently reaffirmed CDBG
funding priorities as recommended by the HRC, with affordable housing as the
highest priority, followed by emergency shelter, removal of architectural barriers
for the disabled, economic development, childcare and youth recreation services.
Associate Planner Hook stated that following the HRC's action, the Council will
take final action on the 2002 funding requests in February 2002. The Council's
final action will become part of the Counties consolidated plan, which will be
submitted in the spring of 2002 for HUD approval
3-N
Attachment 2
sometime around the beginning of the new fiscal year, and grant funding will
begin shortly there after. He stated this year, the City received only fourteen
grant applications.
Associate Planner Hook presented a chart to show staff's funding
recommendations by category.. He explained that staff from various City
departments met to review the grant applications, and as a result, made a
recommendation to the HRC as to a funding strategy. He stated that the HRC
can recommend approval, denial or changes to recommended funding amounts
for all activities except repayment of the Section 108 Loan. This is an activity
that must be funded, since the City borrowed $1.65 Million, and principal and
interest must be paid annually from CDBG funds.
Commr. Wolff noted this is a 6-year commitment and it started in 1996, and asked if this would
be the last payment?
Associate Planner Hook replied he believes payments will extend to two more grant years.
Vice-Chair Nichols commented if the City repays the $94,000 in unspent loan funds, it would
reduce the total amount borrowed and could reduce loan payment amounts.
Associate Planner Hook agreed, but noted that staff was recommending that the
unspent loan funds be reallocated to another activity to enable the commission to
help community needs even more.
Associate Planner Hook discussed each grant funding request separately.
Commr. Lamb asked if the Judson Terrace Project received CDBG funding in
2001?
Associate Planner Hook replied yes.
Vice-Chair Nichols asked if the proposed reallocation of $107,000 in City
program administration funds were actual funds that that had been set aside.
Associate Planner Hook stated this is money that is held and is available to re-
allocate.
Commr. Hutchinson asked whether the 15% or the 26% figures on Public
Services spending were correct.
Associate Planner Hook replied that 15% is correct. He stated in previous years
they have been able to exceed their 15% because other jurisdictions in the Urban
County had not used their full 15% allocation, but that situation was not likely to
reoccur this year.
3-15
ATTACHMENT 2
Commr. Lamb asked why in the previous years they have been able to tap into the 15% that
Paso didn't use and the county didn't use and this year they couldn't do that?
Associate Planner Hook replied when all the cities and the county get together they compare
notes and look at the request for the funding that they have and for many years people didn't
know what they could request funding for. So that percentage of your allocation that was not
used by Paso they know about it in advance and they could use it for their own public services.
Vice-Chair Nichols asked how affordable housing is different from home loan funds?
Associate Planner Hook replied when the City adopted its Inclusionary Housing Program it
established an affordable housing fund. Developers could choose to build housing as part of
their project or to pay an in-lieu fee for affordable housing. Most commercial builders opt to pay
in-lieu fees and these are deposited into a fund that the City Council may use at its own
discretion to support affordable housing.
Commr. Hutchings asked whether after taking public comments would the Commission be goinc
line by line on the items and discussing them?
Chairperson Wolff said yes, that because of a potential conflict of interest for some
commissioners they would proceed line item by line item and vote on funding requests
separately.
PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Edie Kahn (Aids Support Network, SLO) stated she would like to comment on their historic
building they purchased with the assistance of the City with CDBG money. She said the
Adriance Apartments were originally built in 1913, and the weather and time have damaged th
windows and they are no longer functional. To be more energy efficient they are looking to
replace the windows. She added that it takes a lotto keep their clients healthy and one of the
things they need to do is provide good sound healthy housing. Although window replacement
was funded in 2001, she said additional funding was needed to replace the windows with
historically appropriate windows as directed by the City Cultural Heritage Committee.
Cindy Jacinth (Project Manager with Peoples' Self-Help Housing Corporation) stated they
submitted an application for South Higuera Street Apartments for $350.000 for land acquisition
costs and what they are proposing is a project of 21-two-bedroom apartments with
approximately four-thousand square feet of commercial space. People's Self-Help Housing
Corporation has signed a purchase option agreement with the owners, and the project's intent i;
to provide affordable apartments for low income persons close to jobs and transportation.
Bernadette Bernard (Literacy Council) stated they were not recommended for funding, and this i
the first time they had requested CDBG funding. She asked about note #7 which states that
because there is the maximum of 15% allowed for public services, it is recommended to continu
to fund the Prado Road Day Center from the balance of the Park Hotel loan repayment fund.
ATTACHMENT 2
There is currently a balance of $80,000 in this fund and she noticed the recommendation to funs
the PDC for $50,000. She wondered where ithe'other$30,000 was and could this possibly hell
fund the Literacy Council as well as the request by United Cerebral Palsy?
Vice-Chair Nichols stated she has some questions about this also.
Chairperson Wolff asked Mr. Hook to explain the allocations of $30.000.
Associate Planner Hook replied that a State Block Grant was awarded in 1987 to rehabilitate
housing for low-income persons, and these funds were used to rehabilitate the Park Hotel, whic
includes affordable housing upstairs. He stated the repaid principal and interest from the loan h
formed a little fund that-the City has used to fund public services. It is no longer a Block Grant E
now part of the City's General.Fund. As such, it is not covered by the 15% limit on public servic
spending. They have directed that they draw down the remainder of that fund for homeless
services. He stated there is about $30,000 left in the fund if the City uses $50,000 for the Prac
Day Center in 2002. The remainder will probably be applied towards 2003 PDC operations
costs.
Associate Planner Hook explained the problem with funding more of the public services funding
requests is not that the City doesn't have enough CDBG funds. There are funds that could be
allocated, but the problem is that under federal rules the City is limited to 15% of the City's total
CDBG allocation on how much it can actually allocate to public services.
Associate Planner Hook stated the Council could amend Community Development Block Grant
Program allocations anytime.
Mark Schaeffer (Director of United Cerebral Palsy) stated that their request for$4,000 is not for
ongoing administrative expenses as staff suggested. He stated the programs they developed a
at SLO recreation and at YMCA, and that the requested funds would be used to provide staff ar
scholarships to allow kids with disabilities to participate in these programs. He stated that fundic
is ongoing and solid, but that CDBG funds would allow UCP to provide scholarships to pay the
$2.50 an hour cost that is a major barrier to a lot of these families whose kids participate in thes
programs. He stated these funds would go to support the YMCA and the SLO Recreation.
Chairperson Wolff asked Mr. Schaeffer if they were planning to apply for Grants-In-Aid funding
through the HRC,
Mr. Schaeffer replied they have other programs earmarked for that.
Roger Jump (Administrator of Judson Terrace Homes) stated Judson Terrace has been providif
affordable housing for very low-income seniors for over thirty years in their community, and duri
this time, they have seen many seniors having to go into nursing homes prematurely when the,
could have been cared for more effectively in a more residential setting if they could afford it. H
stated they are planning to build a 32-unit frail elderly center and have secured 85% of their
funding, but due to increased construction costs, they still have a funding gap of a little under
17
ATTACHMENT 2
$600.000, and they are trying to bridge this gap. . He stated their application meets two of the
City's CDBG funding priorities;affordable housing and removing architectural barriers for disable
and elderly.
Catherine Manning (Economic Opportunity Commission) spoke on behalf of the Homeless Shelt
and the Prado Day Center. She asked the Commission to continue to support funding for these
services. She stated from her perspective, they are dealing with the most vulnerable population
the whole community. While she supports additional community activities and services beyond
emergency services and thinks these services are wonderful, there is a large homeless
population in this county whose needs for services are critical.
David Ryal (Cuesta College Small Business Incentive Program) stated they have been around fc
two years and their mission is to provide business technical assistance to people who are lookin
to go into business or already in business. Their overall target is to help people who cannot
afford services from the private sector or the type of services they are looking for are not availab
to them.
Rachel Richardson (Chair of the SLO Supportive Housing Consortium) stated the Consortium
consists of 18 agencies that provide either housing or human services, or provide advocacy
services for low-income, special needs clients. She stated the housing that comes into the City
very important to them because most of their clients need to be close to medical and social ,
services. She stated that every dollar should go into housing because housing is so critical..
George Moylan (Executive Director, Housing Authority of the City of SLO) stated the
CBDG/HOME fund is sort of a disjointed program and he feels the Commission may not always
be getting the total picture. He stated the Housing Authority, as well as non-profit housing
developers, should not be greedy and feels they should leverage the grant funds with other non-
CDBG funding sources as much as possible.
Gail Gresham (Big Brothers Big Sisters of SLO County) stated this is the first time they have
applied for CDBG funds. She stated they applied to fund capacity building so they could serve
more kids in the lower economic groups.
Hearing no further public comments, Chairperson Wolff closed the public hearing.
COMMISSION COMMENTS:
Vice-Chair Nichols stated that she would like to go on record that if the City is contemplating usii
the affordable housing fund there should be some defining process, but it is a little ambiguous c
how that fund will be allocated. She feels it would be helpful to have some clarity on some of the
funds coming before CBDG. She voiced her concern on the question of using CDBG funds for
City streets, gutters, and sidewalks projects, which can divert funds from some pretty critical
housing needs.

Neighborhood Improvement Project.
Commr. Lamb noted that to effectively address homelessness, it was necessary to look at root
social issues. He felt that addressing prevention programs was important and added that given
the great need, the City would probably never have the capacity to fully meet its housing needs.

on what will happen to Prado Day Center in the future, once the Park Hotel Loan fund is deplete

4. DISCUSSION OF ISSUES RAISED BY MS. WILLOW KELLY RELATED TO CITY WIDE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING, LAND-USE POLICIES REGARDING CAMPING IN CITY OPEN
SPACE AREAS AND OTHER ACCESSIBILITY CONCERNS FOR DISABLED PERSONS:
Ann Slate provided some background information concerning Ms. Kelly's request of the HRC to review
the City's open space policies and no camping regulations.
Brandi Diffenderfer,City of San Luis Obispo Parks and Recreation,Park Ranger,spoke about the purpose
and duties of the City's Park Ranger force with regard to law enforcement in the City's open space. She
discussed the City's "no camping" ordinance, the homeless popiilation, and that there are no facilities for
camping with regard to potable water, restrooms, etc. She also discussed the criminal aspects to be
addressed should camping be allowed. The Park Rangers currently deal with many homeless individuals.
They determine their needs, provide referrals when possible and enforce which are designed to protect
sensitive environmental habitats.
Commr.Wolff asked what do the rangers do if people refuse assistance or fail to comply with the rangers.
Ms. Diffenderfer replied that the rangers work hand-in-hand with local agencies to provide referrals and
only in extreme cases would contact police to arrest individuals.
Commr.Hutchings asked which open space is more likely to have issues.
Ms.Diffenderfer replied that there is not one in particular that has more issues than another.
Commr.Lamb asked for a general profile of the homeless population the rangers have dealt with.

Ms. Diffenderfer replied that the population she and her rangers deal with are predominantly white men
born in the 1950's. She said that there are not too many family units camping illegally, and most of the
criminal activity she observes deal with drugs and alcohol usage/abuse.
Commr.Hutchings asked how many homeless persons have the rangers dealt with.
Ms.Diffenderfer replied that it is difficult to pinpoint exactly how many;but that in her four years with the
City,she has had contact with over 300 individuals,with about.50 of those being repeat contacts.
Commr. Brown expressed concerns about drug related issues, and asked whether the rangers were
concerned for their safety while doing their job.
Ms. Diffenderfer replied that they are cognizant of safety issues, that the rangers have a close partner type
working relationship and that they work as teams to ensure safe measures are taken while dealing with
individuals they encounter.
Commr. Nichols remarked that there is an impression that people are being moved from one service to
another and asked if there are services not being provided.
Ms. Diffenderfer replied that if an individual is not at the point in their life where they want to change or
take advantage of what is offered,they will not accept help.
Ms. Kelly,city resident, discussed the homeless situation. She presented herself as a representative of the
homeless population because of her contacts with them. She spoke of other cities that have created safe
zones for their homeless populations. According to Ms. Kelly, current services are inadequate and many
agencies are overextended. She discussed the many disabled persons sleeping in shelters and expressed
concern that persons with disabilities are not equipped to deal with a homeless situation. Mrs. Kelly
suggested a town hall meeting on a weekend (so that more homeless people could attend and not worry
about being turned away for shelter later in the evening),be convened to discuss changes to land use issues,
incorporating the concept of a multi-use, land use. She said priorities need to change in how the land is
used. She also mentioned that many homeless are Vietnam Veterans and that the homeless live in a climate
of intimidation.
Commr. Hutchings said that he liked that Mrs. Kelly presented solutions such as safe zones,and applauded
the Park Rangers efforts to protect land resources. He said that lower income individuals often do not have
access to the democratic process.
Commr. Brown expressed concern about the control and safety of the creek, and the potential for negative
results when individuals"do their own thing"in public spaces. He also said he has great respect for people
who have to deal with people living in public spaces. He discussed the many resources brought to bear
regarding safe zones. He expressed concern about others entering the safe zones to"pick on"the homeless
using the safe zones.
Co>nmr. Lamb discussed the commitment needed to educate selves before making decisions about
homeless issues and the possibility of hosting a forum on homelessness.
Commr.Nichols suggested Ms.Diffenderfer speak with Marsha Bollinger of San Luis Obispo County.
The Commission took no action regarding this item.

Dear Allen,
I am writing this letter to the San Luis Obispo City Council to express my concerns about zero
funding of United Cerebral Palsy(UCP)'s request for$4,000 of 2002 Community Development
Block Grant funding for scholarships for children with disabilities to participate in after-school
recreation programs and summer camp programs. UCP has received funding from every
community in the Block Grant program for scholarship funding except the City of San Luis
Obispo. The City of San Luis Obispo is proposing no scholarship funding despite having the
largest number of children with disabilities of any community in the county. Your decision to
not fund these scholarships could close the door for 22 children to participate in recreation
programs sponsored by SLO Recreation and the YMCA.
All of the funds requested will be sent to SLO Recreation and the YMCA to pay the fees for the
children to participate in their programs. UCP is providing the support staff to supplement the
existing recreation staff to assist with the special needs and adaptive recreation curriculum for
children with disabilities. This supportive child care program is fully funded by Tri-Counties
Regional Center. The City of San Luis Obispo needs to support the inclusion of children with
disabilities in their recreation programs. I ask that you look at the funding allocations of the
Community Development Block Grant and find a creative way to fund this request for
scholarship funds exclusively for families in the City of San Luis Obispo. Thank you for your
consideration. If you have any further questions, I can be reached at 541-8751 or at
shafrnt@aol.com
Sincerely, RECEIVED

Food Bank Coalition of
San Lu Obispo County I am sorry I am unable to attend tonight's meeting r Ich i ✓ '
Passarelli, a long-time Food Bank Board member will speak
in behalf of the Food Bank, but I want you to know of my
desire that you will fully fund the Food Bank's CDBG request.
A Com w*Caftl1w6ftli to HAD the Neear
P.O. box 2070 As you are aware, this is a continuation of our 2001 request.
Paso Robles, CA 93447-2070 At that time, we requested $83.000 from the City of San Luis
05}238664 Obispo, and received $55,000. We very much appreciate the
@05)(8
05} 238-6956 $55,000, but are now requesting the additional $28,000.
Staff's objections both times have been that the City's
allocation, compared to the pounds of food distributed by the
"Our County's best Food Bank within the City limits, is too high,
food resource for
any citizen in need." At the meeting similar to this one conducted last year. I
explained pub[ that.the chart (Table 2 of our 2002 CDBG
application) referred to by staff does not reflect the city of
Executive Director residence of those receiving the food, nor is it meant to. For
James L. Kemper example, Grover Beach is shown as receiving the most food
from the Food Bank in 2001, As explained last year, this is
because the Food Bank distribution site located in Grover
Beach is an EOC headquarters and a popular spot for the
Board of Directors needy from all over the'south county to receive food and other
services. Many of those that receive food at the Grover Beach
Officers site are San Luis Obispo residents.
Chairman, Even if that were not the case, the Food Bank has
Floyd Butier8eld. Paso Robles distributed food in San Luis Obispo for more than 13 years.
Vice-GAa/nnan and pians to continue to do so for years to come. Until last
Sally Coons, Paso Robles years's CDBG award, the City had not provided any
Secretary
Shirley Martin,Atascadero significant portion of its funding.
Treasurer
Virgil V. Becker, Paso Robles I urge the Council to provide full funding of our 2002 CDBG
request.
