Meeting Date 12/8/87
ITEM TITLE: Resolution~3 3 ~0 Requesting that the County of San Diego
transfer $22,000 in surplus Montgomery Community Development
Block Grant funds to the Fresno Avenue Street Improvements
Project and approving a contract with the County of San Diego
for County implementation of the Fresno Avenue Street
Improvements Project
SUBMITTED BY: Community Development Directo
REVIEWED BY: City Manager (4/5ths Vote: Yes No X )
The Fresno Avenue Street Improvements Project was originally funded by the
County prior to the Montgomery annexation to the City. Following the
annexation, City review of the project resulted in recommendations to upgrade
the project design. The City approved applying $10,000 in supplemental
1986-87 Montgomery CDBG funds to finance the upgraded improvements.
Subsequent additional review of the project design by the City Engineer has
resulted in a recommendation to further upgrade the project to include
construction of a 2% raised crown in the street. The $22,000 estimated to be
needed to provide the standard crown is proposed to be taken from available
surplus 1987-88 Montgomery CDBG funds under the control of the County. The
proposed contract provides for County implementation and City maintenance of
the public improvements.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt the resolution requesting that the
County of San Diego transfer $22,000 in surplus Montgomery CDBG funds to the
Fresno Avenue Street Improvements Project and approving the contract with the
County of San Diego for County implementation of the Fresno Avenue Street
Improvements Project.

a 2~ cross fall. In its currently approved design, the street would slope
east to west, with all drainage moving to the west curb and making a storm
drain inlet on the east side of the street ineffective. The additional cost
to raise the crown is estimated at $22,000. The total project is estimated at
approximately $175,000 with the total remaining cost to be funded by the
County.
The City approved 1986-87 and 1987-88 Montgomery CDBG budgets were based on
preliminary estimates of the amount of total CDBG funds to be received by the
County for Montgomery. The total Montgomery CDBG allotment received by the
County for those two years has been $34,423 more than the total amount
budgeted by the City. These funds are available to be allocated to
CDBG-eligible capital projects in Montgomery. It is proposed that $22,000 of
these funds be transferred to the Fresno Avenue Project, leaving a remainder
of $12,423 available for possible unforeseen increases on other projects not
yet completed.
FISCAL IMPACT: The projects are all to be implemented by the County with
County CDBG funds. The City will be responsible for routine maintenance.
