SUBJECT : 14TH YEAR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG)
PROGRAM ( 1988- 1989)
Recommendation:
That the City Council receive requests and recommendations for
use of the City' s 1988-89 Community Block Grant (CDBG) entitle-
ment and refer to staff submittal of application for use of
funds .
Background:
The City of Palm Desert , in conjunction with Riverside County,
is a participant in the CDBG program . The City ' s 1988-89
entitlement is estimated at approximately $ 116 , 000 . The City
Council has the authority to determine how the City' s entitlement
will be used .
CDBG regulations require that before a city formally determines
how it will use the monies it must first invite interested
community groups to express their opinions on how the funds
should be used. The City has placed an ad in the local newspaper
inviting the public to the meeting . In addition , community
groups can request monies from the City to fund community
activities . The Council can decide to fund such activities
provided these are eligible under the program. The process of
the hearing is to find out whether there are community groups
that wish to ask the Council for these funds .
In 1987-88 the City Council elected to provide funding for the
Alternatives to Domestic Violence Program and the expansion of
the Senior Center .
Other projects that the City has funded using CDBG funds are :
College of the Desert ' s Child Care Center , Drainage facilities ,
Original construction of the Senior Center , etc .
The project ( s ) selected by the City Council will be included in
Riverside County' s overall 1988/89 CDBG application.
