MEMORANDUM
March 25, 1994
TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager ~
FROM: Jake Wager, Economic Development Directo
SUBJECT: Final staff recommendations for use of FY 94.95 Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) funds for non.profit activities.
Eight non-profit proposals requesting FY 94-95 CDBG assistance were received last year totalling
approximately $1,106,058. On February 17, 1994. a peer review group consisting of community residents
representing the public, private, and non-profit sectors met to review and discuss the relative merits of each
request. The group provided valuable input to staff concerning the a[,?iications. Based on our analysis we are
recommending that CDBG funds be used to fund three non-profit projects. It is our conclusion that the
projects we are recommending for funding have the potential of making a significant contribution to the
community. Certainly the final funding phase for the Clinica Sierra Vista project represents the fkst major
revitalization effort on Lakeview Avenue. In addition, once in operation the health clinic will offer a'
significant improvement in the delivery of health services to an impacted community. The proposal to fund
the Small Business Development Center will also help address two critical needs in Southeast Bakersfield.
Funding this project may helo up to fifty Southeast Bakersfield businesses. This could include start-up
businesses or existing small businesses seeking to expand. Another critical need we have observed over the
years is the capacity of locally based non-profits to seek out grants and then manage them in an effective way.
We have also noted that while well intended, many non-profits are unable to develop and follow a "business"
plan that would sustain the organization or improve its ability to deliver its product. Based on our observation
staff asked the SBDC to modify its funding proposal to include a non-profit capacity building component. The
final project being recommended for funding has been providing a much needed service to our community for
over forty years. The Crippled Children's Society has secured a new and larger facility at 1819 Brundage
Lane. This facility,, when operational, will more than double the under roof space available for services and
programs. Specifically, the Crippled Children's Society will now be able to expand its services to include a
recreational program as well as providing access to new social service programs.
In total we are recommending fundine in the amount of $171.000. Of this total amount $16,000 would be
funded from current year's savings. The City Council will be asked to act on the SBDC proposal through a
CDBG amendment presently being processed by staff.
Staff has prepared a summary of all non-profit applications that were submitted for consideration.
Recommended for Fundinl~
A. HEALTH FACILITIES
I. Clinica Sierra Visl'a
This organization has submitted an application for CDBG funds in order to complete the project
initiated in FY 93-94. Acquisition of the parcels has been completed. These funds will be used to
purchase the furnishings, fixtures, and equipment for the health clinic to be located at 815 Lakeview
Avenue. This project will have a significant impact on the revitalization of the Lakeview community.
Staff recommendation: Recommend $100,000 in CDBG funding for. FY 94-95.
B. HANDICAPPED CENTER
1. Society for Cri_~oled Children and Aduit~ of Kern County.
Relocation cost and renovation of new non-profit headquarters (15,596 sq. ft.) at 1819 Brundage Lane.
The relocation cost is estimated at $10,000. The non-profit intends to contribute approximately $36,000
towards the reconstruction of this facility. Proposal is eligible for CDBG funding and qualifies as a
presumed Iow/moderate income clientele activity (i.e., handicapped persons). Facility to be owned and
operated by the non-profit. Estimated total cost for rehabilitation is $81,000.
Staff Recommendation - Recommend $55,000 in CDBG funding for FY 94-95.
C. PUBLIC SERVICES
1. Small Business Development Center (SBDC)
The SBDC has proposed to provide primary assistance to small businesses and entrepreneurs located
in the Southeast Bakersfield Incentive Area. An SBDC consultant would provide services form the
Vida Sdott Center located at the Belle Terrace Park. Services to be provided include the following:
Counseling for. up to 250 businesses: assistance will be provided to 20 business start-ups; and up to -
four training classes for a total of 1,040 hours will be offered. Staff believes that this type of direct
assistance to small businesses located in Southeast Bakersfield will result in increased employment and
an improved economic climate. The SBDC has requested $16;200 in CDBG funds, ff the City were
to favorably consider this request it would be funded from public services category of CDBG. HUD
statutes limit the funding of public services to 15% of any one years of CDBG funds (including
program income) based on the proposed CDBG budget we have akeady hit the 15% cap. As. an
alternative we are recommending that savings from FY 91-92 and FY 92-93 funds be reprogrammed
through a CDBG amendment and that the program be implemented prior to June 30, 1994.
Staff recommendation - Recommend that a CDBG amendment for $16,200 be initiated and that the
program be implemented prior to June 30, 1994 in order to comply with the 15% public service cap.
Staff further recommends that one important grant condition is that this is a one gear _uro~ect only.
Not Recommended for Funding
A. HEALTH FACILITIES
1. Kern Medical Center's (KMC) Elder Life Project
Request for $281,000 to design and renovate approximately 4,000 sq.ft, of indoor space and
approximately 500 sq.ft, of outdoor space into an adult day health care facility at 1111 Columbus
Avenue. Proposal is eligible for CDBG funding and qualifies as a presumed low/moderate income
clientele activity (i.e., senior citizens). KMC will own the facility and operate the Adult Day Health
Care program. This program was initially going to be operated by Clinica Sierra Vista, Inc. (CSVI).
However, we were recently informed that CSVI is no longer involved with this project due KMC's
interest in becoming the primary provider for adult day health care at this site. In addition, the County
Community Development Program Department (CDPD) is also reviewing the Elder Life application
for FY 94 CDBG assistance. County CDPD has revised the project's cost estimate to about $500,000
to reflect prevailing wage construction costs. Due to the change in Elder Life providers (from CSVI
to KMC), we have requested additional project information from KMC concerning their proposed
programming, fiscal operation, and timeline. Upon receipt of this information we will re-evaluate
KMC's request for possible CDBG assistance.
Staff Recommendation - Unless KMC is able to adequately respond in a ve~ rapid fashion, we
would recommend deferring funding consideration for FY 94.
B. TRANSPORTATION SERVICES
1. Golden Empire Gleaners, Inc.
Request is for $40.000 to purchase a new 1½ ton track to replace one of the worn trucks in their food
distribution fleet. The new vehicle will be used for collection and distribution of food for Kern County
low-income residents. Purchase of this equipment is not eligible for CDBG funding. In addition.
proposal is not eligible as a public service activity since CDBG funds cannot be used to maintain the
current level of service (public service must be either a new service, or a quantifiable increase in the
level of a service above that which has been provided in the past year).
Staff Recommendation - Recommend no FY 94 CDBG funding.
2. Bakersfield Senigr ~enter, Inc. (BSCI)
Request is for $53,500 to purchase a new vehicle equipped with handicapped accessibility for their fleet
and allow BSCI to continue service to seniors and handicapped persons. The new vehicle will replace
a grounded vehicle due to high costs of maintenance. Purchase of this equipment is not eligible for
CDBG funding. In addition, proposal is not eligible as a public service activity since CDBG funds
cannot be used to maintain the current level of service (public service must be either a new service,
or a quantifiable increase in the level of a service above that which has been provided in the past year).
Staff Recommendation - Recommend no FY 94 CDBG funding.
C. YOUTH CENTER
1. Impact Community Youth Center (ICYC)
Request for $2 I0,01)0 to purchase Strongbow Stadium at 2201 V Street for a community youth center.
[CYC proposes to provide anti-drug and gang prevention activities for local youth. Proposal is eligible
for CDBG funding and qualifies as an area benefit activity (low/moderate income area is approximately
68.1%). ICYC is a new non-profit organization and the proposed youth center is their first community
activity.
Staff Recommendation - Recommend no FY 94 CDBG funding.
D. NEIGHBORHOOD FACILITIES
1. Ebony t~ounselim, Center Acquisition
Request for $281,653 to pay-off existing mortgage debt at 1301, 1313, and 1317 California Avenue.
The 1301 property is used by Ebony for administrative and counseling services. The buildings at 1313
and 1317 are leased to non-profit and for-profit entities. Proposal to refinance (i.e., pay-off) real estate
debt is trot eligible for CDBG assistance.
Staff Recommendation - Recommend no FY 94 CDBG funding.
E. PARKS, RECREATIONAL FACILITIES
1. Friendship House Center
Request for $49,000 to remodel administrative offices (1,360 sq.ft.) and adjacent multi-purpose room
(1,800 sq.ft.) at 2424 Cottonwood Road. Proposal is eligible for CDBG assistance and qualifies as an
area benefit activity (low/moderate income area is approximately 89.1%). The cost estimate does not
reflect prevailing wage rates. A more accurate cost estimate is approximately $70,000. We have been
informed that the non-profit organization currently does not have a full-time executive director and
intends to fill this position at a later date. In addition, the Friendship House received an Agency
Review by United Way in 1993 which advocated greater attention to financial management practices
and long range planning. The Chairman of the Board has verbally informed us that they may wish to _
postpone their request for assistance until such time they have recruited a full-time executive director
and addressed some of the recommendations submitted by United Way.
Staff Recommendation - Ret~ommend no FY 94 CDBG funding.
F. HOUSING NEW CONSTRUCTION
1. A Philio Randoloh Community Develonment Corm}ration
Request for $60,000 to provide technical assistance and fund the acquisition of up to 5 vacant lots for
single family housing. Proposal is eligible and qualifies for CDBG assistance. The non-profit
organization is under review by the County Employers Training Resource (ETR) and has been directed
to improve its financial management practices concerning its use of ETR funds.
Staff Recommendation - Recommend no FY 94 CDBG funding.
In addition, in order to fulfill the City's prior commitment to Clinica Sierra Vista for approximately $300,000
in real properW medical equipment for it's proposed medical facility at Lakeview and Clarendon, we are also
recommendine that we set aside $I00,000 in FY 94 CDBG funds. This will augment the $200,000 already
budgeted in prior fiscal years for real property medical equipment. This recommendation raises the total non-
profit assistance for FY 94-95 to approximately $155,000.
As you are aware, in my memo dated December 9, 1994, regarding proposals received for FY 94-95
assistance, we also received a request for $95,000 by Mr. Vernon Strong to develop property at the northwest
corner of East California and Beale Avenue. Since this request is for economic development assistance by a
for-profit entity., Mr. Strong may be eligible to apply for assistance under the Business Loan Program that was
budgeted and approved in the FY 93 CDBG application. He will be informed that he can make application
to this program.
,,.Finally, on January 14, 1994, we received a request for approximately $16,200 from the Weill Institute Small
Business Development Center for technical and microloan assistance to entrepreneurs/microenterprises within
the southeast incentive area. Their proposal is still under review. Certain issues dealing with SBDC's proposed
Services in relation to other lenders (i.e., Kern Small Business Loan Fund, SBA, Mid-State Development) and
technical assistance providers (i.e., NEDA, SCORE, ETR) need to be resolved before we can make any
recommendation concerning their request.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding our recommendations.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council ~QVED
FROM: Economic and Community Development DEPARTMENT HEAD ~ ~
DATE: April 8, 1994 CITY ATTORNEY ,~J
CITY MANAGER (~'~
SUBJECT: Approval of Amendment #3 to FY 92-93 and Amendment #5 to FY 91-92 Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) Applications and Authorization for Submission to the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Staff recommends approval and authorization for submission to HUD.
BACKGROUND:
Project savings from five Capital Improvement Projects totaling $102,964.00 have been identified from
prior years' CDBG budget ($82,109 from FY 92-93 and $20,855 from FY 93-94). In order to comply
with HUD regulations, these unobligated funds must be re-programmed for CDBG eligible activities.
As part of this amendment process, staff must obtain citizens' views and comments on the proposed use
of funds. The proposed amendment will allow for the construction of 3 additional capital improvement
projects. These projects will include the construction of curb and gutter improvements in two Iow and
moderate income neighborhoods, Inyo Street and Oleander-Sunset area. In addition, the Jefferson Park
basketball court will be replaced. This amendment would also allow for the funding of the Small
Business Development Center (SBDC) to provide technical assistance to economically disadvantaged
entrepreneurs within the Southeast Bakersfield Incentive Area and capacity building to non-profit
agencies. If this amendment is approved, these activities could be under way prior to June 30, 1994.
By implementing the SBDC public services activity within the current year, the City would not exceed
the HUD imposed limit of 15% of the entitlement for public services for the up coming year. In the
budget proposal submitted to the City Manager the public services category is maximized at the 15%
level.
A public notice was published on April 10, 1994 inviting comments from residents on the proposed
activities. Deadline to receive comments is April 19, 1994 (5:00 p.m.). No comments have been
received to date.

NOTICE TO PUBLIC
PROPOSED STATEMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES
AND PROJECTED USE OF FUNDS (FY 1994-95)
I. INTRODUCTION
As an entitlement jurisdiction under the Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) Program which is administered on'the national level up the Federal
Department of Housing and Urban Development, the City of Bakersfield is required
to submit an annual final statement of community development objectives and
projected use of funds.
For the Fiscal Year (FY 1994-95), the City expects to receive an entitlement of
approximately $2,512,000 from the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) to implement activities eligible for CDBG funding, pursuant to
established federal legislation, regulations, guidelines and local policies. The City
also expects to receive program income totaling approximately $488,000 which is
projected for similar use. Of the $3,000,000 total CDBG funds available, at least
$2,100,000 or 70% of the funds will principally benefit Iow or moderate income
persons.
The City Community Development Division developed the "Proposed Statement
of Community Development Objectives and Projected Use of Funds' after
consideration of comments by City officials and staff, representatives from
nonprofit organizations, residents of community development target areas and the
general public. Advertised public meetings were held on September 13 & 16,
1993, to discuss the amount of CDBG funds expected by the City, the range of
activities eligible for CDBG funding and potential activities for funding during FY
1994-95.
II. PROPOSED STATEMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES
The primary objective of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974
is the development of viable urban communities, by providing decent housing,
suitable living environments and expanding economic opportunities, principally for
persons of Iow and moderate income. Consistent with this, the following objectives
will be used for the 1994-95 Community Development Program.
1. The elimination of slums and blight and the prevention of blighting
influences, deterioration of property and neighborhood and community
facilities of importance to the welfare of the community, principally for
persons of Iow and moderate income;
2. the elimination of conditions which are detrimental to health, safety, and
public welfare, through code enforcement, demolition, interirn rehabilitation
assistance, and related activities;
3. the conservation and expansion of the City's housing stock in order to
provide a decent home and a suitable living environment for alii persons, but
principally those of Iow and moderate inCOme;
4. the expansion and improvement of the quantity of quality of community
services, principally for persons of Iow and moderate incorne, which are
essential for sound community development and for the development of
valuable urban communities;
5. a more rational utilization of land and other natural resources and the better
arrangement of residential, commercial, industrial, recreational, and other
needed activity centers;
6. the reduction of the isolation of income groups within communities and
geographical areas and the promotion of an increase in the diversity and
vitality of neighborhoods through the spatial deconcentration of housing
opportunities for persons of lower income and the revitalization of
deteriorating or deteriorated neighborhoods to attract persons of higher
income;
7. the restoration and preservation of properties of spacial value for historic,
architectural, or aesthetic reasons; and
8. the alleviation of physical and economic distress through the stimulation of
private investment and community revitalization in areas with population out-
migration or a stagnating or declining tax base.
III. MAXIMUM FEASIBLE PRIORITY CRITERIA
Federa~ regulations specify that all activities proposed to address the objectives
stated herein must either:
a. Principally benefit Iow and moderate income persons; or ~
b. Aid in the prevention or elimination :of slums and blight; or
c. Meet other community development needs having a particular urgency,
