INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
CITY OF PALM DESERT
DATE: MARCH 26, 1998
TO: MAYOR, AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: RAY L. JANES
SUBJECT: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM
Recommendation:
1. That the City Council approve the reprogramming of$4,871.25 (1994-95/block grant)
into our Redevelopment Agency's Home Improvement Program for FY 1998.
2. That the City Council approve a change in this year's Foundation for the Retarded block grant
of$75,000 from a Capitol Improvement to a Capitol (Fixed Equipment)Acquisition Project.
Background:
The $4,871.25 was originally a part of block grant money given to the Joslyn Cove Senior Center
for various improvements to their facility;this money was to be used to provide additional
lighting. However,the Center had a change in their plans and has now decided to give this block
grant money back to the City of Palm Desert; staff's recommendation would be to reprogram
these funds into our Redevelopment Agency's new Home Improvement Program.
The Foundation for the Retarded has requested that they be permitted to change their scope of
work regarding the $75,000 block grant which was awarded to them this year by our Charitable
Contribution Committee. Rather than use the funding for an expansion to their existing facility,
they would now like to use the money to purchase another embroidery machine; therefore,the
block grant classification would change from a Capitol Improvement,to a Capitol(Fixed
Equipment)Acquisition Project.
