NEW BUSINESS
Adoption of Resolution No. RA2-90 of the
Central District Development Agency of
the City of Bakersfield finding for
Fiscal Year 1989-90, the community has
contributed other local funds for low and
moderate income housing.
In response to a request by Chairperson Paynter,
Community Development Coordinator Gonzales reviewed the vari-
ous Community Block Fund Grants that are included in the
funds actually expended for the low and moderate income hous-
ing program, which totaled $383,428, as follows:
The Community Development Program has
various home improvement loan programs
that have been implemented since 1979.
The Deferred Payment Rehabilitation Loan
Program provides up to $27,000 to seniors
and very low income individuals. In the
past, since inception of the program,
over $3,000,000 worth of loans have been
generated. During the last couple of
years, it has become necessary to train
individuals to do that job so,
consequently, volume is very low this
year.

The Home Accessibility Grants for
Handicapped Individuals provides up to
$2,000 of grant monies to seniors and
handicapped individuals to make their
homes more accessible. Each year
approximately 60 grants are provided
by this program.
The Paint Grant Program provides paint
and supplies, specifically in Census
Tract 22. The people provide the labor
to accomplish the work.
The Service Delivery Cost for Housing is
the ongoing cost of running the different
programs.
The Rental Rehabilitation Program provides
half of the rehabilitation cost to eligible
projects within the targeted areas. The
interest rate is zero percent, no monthly
payments, all monies are due whenever the
property changes hands or in 15 years.
The landlord is responsible for the other
half of the rehabilitation cost. In the
past three years, two bonuses have been
received from the Government for additional
loans.
Agency Member Ruddell made a motion
Resolution No. RA2-90 of the Central District
Agency of the City of Bakersfield.
to adopt
Development
Agency Member Araujo stated for the record she is
in opposition to this Resolution because:
1. This Resolution was not acted upon
by the Housing Committee; and
Redevelopment Law requires twenty
percent of monies from within the
area be used for low and moderate
income housing. The Agency has
not done this. The fulfilling of
this requirement by the use of
Community Development Grant monies
may or may not be legal.
Upon a motion by Agency Member Ruddell, Resolution
No. RA2-90 of the Central District Development Agency of the
City of Bakersfield was adopted by the following roll call
vote:
Ayes:
Noes:
