SUMMARY
This item will appropriate prior year balances from the Community Housing
Improvement Program (CHIP) to the current fiscal year budget.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed action for compliance
with the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) due to the use of Federal funds
and has determined that pursuant to Section 58.30 (b), Subpart D, Title 24 of the Code
Federal Regulations, further review and environmental determination as appropriate, will
be required for each project as it is identified. Thus, no further NEPA environmental
review or documentation is necessary at this time.
RECOMMENDATION
Council adopt the resolution.
BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
CHIP provides financial assistance in the form of a loan and/or grant to very low income
households to address health and safety related repairs to their home. Because of CDBG
grant reductions the CHIP program was only funded a minimal amount of FY12 CDBG
funds. On June 21, the Chula Vista City Council appropriated $3L242 of Community

Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for the CHIP Program (31100). City staff
indicated that they would return to City Council if any available CDBG funds were
identified mid-year.
Afrer review of unused project balances, we have determined that there is $83,256 of
CDBG funds already allocated to CHIP in prior years (2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010) that
can be appropriated. These funds are currently budgeted through HUD„ specifically
designated for this use. Staff is now returning to City Council for appropriation of these
CDBG funds to use in the current fiscal year. Currently there are approximately 6
income-eligible households awaiting assistance from the program.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is
not site specific and consequently the 500 foot rule found in California Code of
Regulations section 18704.2(a)(1) is not applicable to this decision.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact as the CDBG program is revenue offset by the grant funds. The
use of the grant funds was already approved by City Council; however, adequate
appropriations were not included in the FY 2012 budget.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
There aze no ongoing fiscal impacts as the program is revenue offset by the grant funds.
