(4/5ths Vote: Yes X No_)
The City of Chula Vista will receive $1,297,000 in 1991-92 CDBG entitlement funds and
anticipates receiving CDBG program income of about $90,000 from the Housing
Rehabilitation revolving fund.
Staff recommendations are summarized in the attached Recommended CDBG Budget and
Public Services Budget (see Exhibits A and B). Staff has thoroughly considered the
recommendations of several advisory commissions and committees and the comments made
at the public hearing before City Council on May 7.
The public service allocations are included in a separate Resolution in order to allow
Council members to vote separately on each portion of the budget.

(CDBG) Capital Improvement Project, Community Development Project, and Planning and
Administration Budget, the 1990-91 to 1992-93 Community Development Plan, and
authorizing the transmittal of the CDBG Application, Final Statement, and associated
documents.

BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: The Montgomery Planning Committee
has reviewed and recommended Community Development and Capital Improvement
projects in the Montgomery area (see page 15). The Commission on Aging, Human
Relations Commission, and Youth Commission have reviewed the social service funding
requests and have made their recommendations (see recommendations, page 16 and
minutes, page 19). The Childcare Commission has reviewed just the requests from childcare
providers (see minutes, page 19). The Housing Advisory Committee has reviewed
housing-related proposals (see attached, Exhibit E).
DISCUSSION:
Recommended Budget:
For 1991-92, the City of Chula Vista has $1,387,000 of CDBG funding, which includes
entitlement and program income. Forty-three eligible requests for funding were submitted
to (or presented by) the City. The recommended 1991-92 CDBG Budget is attached as
Exhibit A and is summarized as follows:

$1,387,000
TOTAL
In order to be eligible for funding, a project or service must address at least one of the
CDBG national objectives: 1) Benefit primarily low and moderate-income families, 2) Aid
in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight, or 3) Meet other community needs
having a particular urgency. All of the CDBG projects and services recommended for
funding meet national objective #1.
Staff recommends that the Council adopt the 1990-91 to 1992-93 Community Development
Plan (see pages 3 and 4). The Plan outlines the City's specific community development
goals and objectives for the CDBG program and provides a guide for funding
recommendations. (In order to be consistent with our 3-year certification period, the
proposed Plan is designed to be retroactive to the current fiscal year). All of the CDBG
projects and services recommended for funding meet the goals and objectives of the
Community Development Plan.
/2-tt
Item 12 a-b
Meeting Date OS/21/91
Page Three
Staff recommends that the Council make a finding that the Neighborhood Improvement
Program, the SBCS Graffiti Eradication, and the SBCS Community Development
Corporation projects are necessary and appropriate in order to meet the goals and objectives
of the City's Community Development Plan (included in the first resolution). This finding
is required by HUD in order to fund these special activities by community-based
organizations.
Social Service Recommendations:
Staff recommendations for social service fundin~. along with the Commissions'
recommendations. are summarized in Exhibit C. Nineteen of the 27 funding requests are
recommended by staff for funding for a total of $213,800. The CDBG regulation on social
services spending has been changed this year to allow the City to allocate 15% of the CDBG
entitlement and program income. (If program income is not included in this calculation,
then $194,550 is available).
In order to evaluate the proposals, staff reviewed the requests for funding, compiled a
Proposal Comparison Table, attended Commission and Committee meetings, and considered
testimony presented at the public hearing. Based on all the information presented, staff
rated the requests using the Proposal Evaluation Matrix and Social Service Funding Policy.
(Also, the Social Service Plan was used as a basis for scoring the first criterion of the Matrix,
"Enhancing the Quality of Life in the City.") The completed Proposal Evaluation Matrix
is attached as Exhibit D.
The highest scoring programs on the Proposal Evaluation Matrix are recommended by staff
for funding. The amount of funding for each program was determined by averaging the two
highest recommendations from the Commissions. For example, if "Program Z" received
Commission recommendations of $10,000, $8,000, and $2,000, the amount recommended by
staff would be $9,000.
Fourteen of the 27 funding requests are for new programs. As a general policy, the City
favors "seed" funding to establish new programs and discourages dependence on CDBG
funding year after year. Toward this end, staff is recommending 18 percent of the available
funding to be allocated to six new programs (our original goal was at least 25 percent of the
funding).
\ 2..-5
Item 12.4t.~
Meeting Date OS/21/91

Staff is recommending allocations for the six new programs as follows:
Episcopal Community Services-S.B. Options for Recovery
Boy & Girls Club-Teen Program
Community Service Center for Disabled
Sweetwater U.H.S.D.-New Chance Daycare
AIDS Foundation San Diego
METRO-Good Neighbor Center S.B.
10,350

S.B. Community Services
C.V. Human Services Center
C.V. Literacy Team
So. Co. Council on Aging-Shared Housing

Mental Health Systems-Kinesis South
San Ysidro Health Center-C.V. Family Clinic

Staff made adjustments to the recommendations on four programs in the social service
budget. South Bay Community Services was increased to $20,000 in order to enable them
to pay rent for their Agency-owned office space. The Chula Vista Literacy Team was
increased to $19,350 because of a reduction in State funding of $16,000.
\2.-~
Item 12 Q -b
Meeting Date OS/21/91
Page Five
In order to balance the social service budget, the staff recommendations for the south Bay
YMCA-Sunshine Company Mterschool Care and Episcopal Community Services-Otay
Community Clinic were reduced from the level they would have otherwise been
recommended for. The Sunshine Company Mterschool Care Program was reduced by
$9,000 (to $15,000) and the Otay Community Clinic was reduced by $5,000 (to $9,000).
The Sunshine Company has had low attendance at their three school sites; staff would like
to see better outreach to increase participation. The Episcopal Community Services
submitted two excellent proposals (Otay Community Clinic and Options for Recovery) but
staff does not recommend increasing funding for the Otay Community Clinic while also
recommending new funding for the Options for Recovery Program.
Community Development Funding Requests:
Staff is recommending a total of $188,650 for five Community Development projects.
"Community Development" is a new category and includes the following types of activities:
1) neighborhood revitalization, 2) affordable housing development, 3) capital improvement
projects for non-profit agencies. Staff recommendations are as follows:
Requested
Neighborhood Improvement Program-Spot Blight $ 55,000
Recommended
$ 34,655
Rationale: The neighborhood groups involved in these clean-up campaigns should solicit
donations of equipment, supplies, and cash from local businesses and civic organizations.
The staff recommendation is 3 times the amount spent this past year on clean-up activities.
Graffiti Eradication
Requested
$ 43,245
Recommended
$ 43,245
Rationale: With the recent increase in graffiti in our City, this program is critical to
continue eradication efforts. The 2 year State grant has run out and local funding is needed
now.
Chula Vista Community Development Corp.
Requested
$ 48,000
Recommended
$ 48,000
Rationale: The CDC can playa vital role in local housing efforts, drawing on financial
resources (private and public) for which they will have priority. Projected activities include
preservation of "at-risk" affordable housing, rehabilitation of deteriorated apartments,
construction of new units, and economic development projects. SBCS is a well-established
local non-profit with an excellent track record of developing new programs.
1"2.-7
Item 12 a-b
Meeting Date OS/21/91
Page Six
The CDC is a new organization and should not be funded solely by the City. In order to
ensure that the CDC is community supported, staff recommends that CDC be given a
$48,000 "match" allocation. The way this would work is: the City will allocate an initial
$24,000 to the CDC, which will be required to match it with community donations; once the
CDC matches the first $24,000, then every $4,000 raised by the CDC from the community
will be matched by $4,000 from the City's allocation, up to an additional $24,000. (SBCS
has already received $9,000 from the Community Foundation).
MAAC Project Office Building Purchase
Requested
$ 50,000
Recommended
$ 50,000
Rationale: MAAC is a well-established social service provider with many programs serving
Chula Vista residents. As the second largest city in the County, it is desirable to have a
major service provider like MAAC based here. The acquisition of the office building will
provide a permanent home for MAAC's administration and alcohol/tobacco education
programs.
Boys and Girls Club-Public Address System
Requested
$ 12,750
Recommended
$ 12,750
Rationale: The Boys and Girls Club building is poorly designed from the standpoint of
supervision and communication; there are 24 separate activity areas. When a parent comes
to pick up their child, the staff often has difficulty locating their kid quickly, which causes
the parent to panic. Staff is also drawn away from supervision while looking for kids. This
is a very modest request for a critically-needed communication system.
Capital Improvement Projects:
Seven capital improvement projects were proposed, totaling $1,085,829. Five CIP projects
have been recommended for a total of $ 739,550, as follows:
Memorial Park Center, Stucco and Roofing
Storm Drain-Sierra Way, Broadway to Colorado
Norman Park Senior Center Renovation
Drainage Improvements-Oxford Street, 2nd to Del Mar
Restroom Renovation-Otay Park
$ 255,310
$ 273,000
$ 119,940
$ 55,300
$ 36,000
Two projects are not recommended for funding:
Staff has determined that the Neighborhood Revitalization Program may be funded from
the Redevelopment Agency's Low and Moderate-Income Housing Fund. However, a
substantive connection must be made between the capital improvements and the
improvement of existing low and moderate-income households in Otay. In addition, the City
12-g
Item 12 Q.b
Meeting Date OS/21/91
Page Seven
may be required to assist in maintaining the affordability of the low and moderate income
units benefitting from the improvements. Staff is undertaking further research in order to
make the substantive connection. If it is determined that a connection cannot be made,
then the City will need to replace the low- and moderate-income housing funds with another
source of funding, such as CDBG.
The Low-income Housing Rehab-Water Conservation Program is not recommended at this
time as the proposal will require further development. Staff has contacted the Sweetwater
Authority about a possible joint program; they indicated they have limited funding for next
fiscal year but are willing to explore the possibility of a joint proposal to the Metropolitan
Water District in the future.
Administration, Planning, and Fair Housing:
Staff recommends that $150,000 be allocated for program administration and staff costs.
These administrative costs represent 11 % of the total budget and include staff costs for
program coordination, accounting, monitoring sub-recipients, environmental review, and
reporting requirements.
Staff recommends that funding for planning activities and Fair Housing be allocated as
follows:
Economic development planning studies
$ 50,000
Rationale: During the past year and a half, the City has twice made a mid-year reallocation
of CDBG monies to fund economic development planning activities. These funds will now
be available as needed by the City for pre-development studies and consultant services.
Fair Housing program
$ 25,000
Rationale: CDBG regulations require the City to undertake proactive Fair Housing
activities. This level of funding will provide for a half-time Fair Housing officer.
San Diego Resident Relations Foundation
$ 8,000
Rationale: Resident Relations provides landlord/tenant mediation services on fair housing
and other housing issues.
Chula Vista Human Services Council
$ 8,000
Rationale: In 1987, the City of Chula Vista developed a Social Services Plan to identify
health and human service needs in the City. This funding is needed to hire a graduate
student intern to update the Social Service Plan.
l2-'i
Item t2 Q.-b
Meeting Date OS/21/91
Page Eight
Otay Committee
$ 4,000
Rationale: This level of funding is needed to continue volunteer community revitalization
and beautification efforts, in conjunction with the Neighborhood Revitalization Program
(NRP).
Woodlawn Park Community Center:
The Woodlawn Park Community Center is operated by a volunteer director (Mrs. Gillespie)
and community volunteers. The cost of liability insurance for the Center is relatively high
for a number of reasons. Recently the liability insurance carrier canceled the Center's
policy for no stated reason. As a result, the Center was forced to find a new policy and this
policy was even more expensive than the canceled one. The Center has spent already spent
it's 1990-91 allocation and is in need of emergency funding in order to continue its insurance
coverage. Without insurance, the Center will be forced to close down.
Staff recommends reallocating $ 974 of CDBG funds from completed social service projects
to the Woodlawn Park Community Center. These funds are available from leftover funds
in the following accounts:
Episcopal Community Services
Boys and Girls Club
$ 964
10
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City will receive $1,297,000 in CDBG entitlement funds and about $90,000 in program
income for 1991-92. The 15% cap on social services funding limits the social service
allocation to $213,800 (as calculated with program income).
Because the program income comes in periodically throughout the year, there is a need to
delay selected projects. Staff recommends that the following projects be funded as the
program income becomes available: SBCS Community Development Corp. ($24,000 of
match funds), Economic Development planning studies ($50,000).

Margery Girbes gave a brief introduction of the proposed public housing project at 588 L
Street. She then introduced Cliff Largess and Don Johnson to give a presentation and
answer questions. The Committee reviewed the preliminary site plan and financial
packaging.
Joe Casillas stated he could not participate in the discussion due to a conflict of interest.
He is a director on the Board of Directors of the South Bay Board of Realtors, which owns
the property to be purchased by the Housing Authority.
Allen King commented that he finds the townhome-type unit attractive.
Margery asked if Title 24 applied in relation to handicap accessibility requirements. Mr.
Largess said townhome units are exempt from the requirements.
Mitch Thompson suggested alternative financing ideas; however, Mr. Largess pointed out
that the State required a 10% equity contribution by the City for their consideration to fund
the project.
Mr. Thompson and Ms. Girbes requested the County give priority to residents displaced due
to mobilehomejtrailer park closures in Chula Vista. The County will agree to the
stipulation if the State permits.
12-ltt
Approved 2-0 (with Mr. Casillas abstaining) to recommend to the Agency to appropriate
funds to the project for pre-development costs, environmental review, and option payments.
Unfinished Business
Civic Center Barrio/Park Village Apartments
The Committee was provided with the agenda and a description of the Proposition 84
funding available from the State as the Committee requested at their last meeting. In
addition, staff was requested to finalize loan terms with the Corporation and bring back
specific details to the Committee.
Staff proposed two sets of loan terms dependent on whether Civic Center Barrio is
successful in obtaining Proposition 84 funds. The two proposed loan terms are:
1. With Prop 84 approval: A loan of $350,000 at 8% interest amortized for a period
of 30 years with a "call" date at 16 years. Payments would commence one year from
the date of Certificate of Occupancy, interest accruing during that period.
2. Without Prop 84 approval: A loan of $350,000 at 5% amortized over 30 years.
Interest accruing but no payments due until 4 years from Certificate of Occupancy
with a "call" date in the 16th year.
Mr. Thompson suggested staff consider a residual receipts provision. Staff will consider and
talk to executive management and the City Attorney.
Ms. Girbes stated that CCBHC has agreed to give first right of refusal/priority to those
families being displaced due to park closures. It was noted that the same credit criteria
should apply to all tenant applicants.
The Committee suggested staff re-evaluate the Park Closure Ordinance and amend the
ordinance by requiring the park owners to pay the required relocation benefits due the
family moving into these new housing opportunities (funded by the Agency) be paid to the
Low/Moderate Income Housing Fund to be used to secure new affordable housing.
Approved 3-0 to recommend the Agency appropriate a loan of $350,000 to CCBHC as
presented by stafT.
Ms. Girbes told the Committee that Habitat had informally requested $10,000 to pursue
their project and rezoning. Staff responded that the proper channel for such a request was
through the Montgomery Planning Committee and Planning Commission before staff could
make a recommendation to the Agency.
