SUMMARY
In 2006, the City received approval for a Federal Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) Section 108 Loan to install public street improvements in the Castle Parl<
Neighborhood Area. These funds must be expended by Jwre 2013 or the balance returned to
HUD. The last a~~d final street improvement projects within Alpine and Twin Oaks Avenues,
between Emerson and Oxford Streets (STL379 & STL386), are nearly complete under a contract
awarded to Tri-Group Construction, Ina (Tri-Group) by Resolution No. 2012-196.
Staff has determined that, upon completion of all work by Tri-Group, reducing the STL306
budget by $60,995, the STL342 budget by $16,031, the STL350 budget by $51,009 and the
STL380 budget by $21,706 and appropriating the equivalent total amow~t of $149,741to the
STL379 budget, all Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Section 108 Loan funds will
be expended by .Tune 30, 2013.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Development Services Director has reviewed the proposed project for compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the project qualifies for a
Class 1 categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the State CEQA
Guidelines because the proposed street reconstruction and improvements involve negligible or
no expansion of an existing use. Thus, no further CEQA environmental review is required.
Additionally, because the proposed project will be utilizing Federal CDBG funds, the
Development Services Dn~ector has also reviewed the project proposal for compliance with the
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) as implemented by the U.S. Department of Housing

and Urban Development (HUD) Environmental Guidelines. The Development Services Director
has determined that the project proposal qualifies for a previously certified Categorical Exclusion
(subject to 58.5) pursuant to Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 24, Section 58.35(a).
Thus, no further NEPA environmental review or determination is required
RECOMMENDATION
Council adopt the resolution.
BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
In September of 2006, HUD approved a $9.5 million loan (CDBG Section 108 Loan) for needed
street improvements in the Castle Park Neighborhood in Western Chula Vista. These funds must
be expended by June 2013 or returned to HUD. All but two of the street improvement projects,
STL379 and STL386, in the Castle Park Neighborhood are complete and four of the completed
projects, STL306, STL342, STL350, and STL380, have remaining balances totaling $149,741.
STL379 is currently underfunded and the $149,741 will be sufficient to complete STL379 and to
assure complete expenditure of the CDBG Section 108 Loan.
Staff is requesting that the available CDBG Section 108 Loan balances from four of the
completed Castle Park Neighborhood Area Projects be reduced and that the equivalent total
amount be appropriated to the STL379 budget, the current and final CDBG Section 108 Loan
Project.
The proposed resolution, if approved, would reduce the STL306 budget by $60,995, the STL342
budget by $16,031, the STL350 budget by $51,009 and the STL380 budget by $21,706 and
appropriate the equivalent total amount to the STL379.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found no property holdings
within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action. Staff is not
independently aware, nor has staff been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact
that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed reduction in Section 108 Loan balances from the STL306 budget by $60,995, the
STL342 budget by $16,031, the STL350 budget by $51;009 and the STL380 budget by $21,706
and appropriating the equivalent total an2ount to the STL379 budget will ensure that the
remaining CDBG Section 108 Loan funds are expended by June 3Q 2013. There is no impact to
the General Fund.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
None.
