It is critical that the funds earmarked for CIP projects be directed in accordance with this criteria and that they do not remain dormant to alleviate HUD's concern regarding the City's expenditure rate of CDBG funds. Therefore the Administration recommends the following strategy to expedite the expenditure of CDBG dollars for CIP projects: • The Assistant City Manager responsible for Operations will prioritize previously approved CIP projects that mat the above cited criteria and submit these projects to the Department of Community Development for approval; • All bidding requirements must be mot, contracts executed and performance bonds in place to ensure that projects are at a stage where construction is already for development to meet the September 30, 2000 completion date; • The balance of funds will be committed on a priority basis as ideni fled by the Assistant City Manager for Operations an a fast come, first served basis; • CDBG funds for previously committed CIP projects that arc not currently at the •;s._ , ;n J„ s. �a� be allocated through r oels of �,*ur CDBG funis Approved by the City Commission for CIP projWw, { • The establishment of a policy by the City Commission that future allocations of CDBG funds for CIP projects be limited ti: p-ff;,T-ev which _s- be a =n the CDBG year that the project is approved.

The Department of Community Development has identified the following legislative commitments to the CRA previously approved by the City Commission: iatio Description R-98-592 Ifistoric Qvertown Priority Business Corridor (from reprogrammed funds, future CDBG program income and/or eligible sources) 0-11736 CRA/SEOPW Interlocal Agreement ($5 million annually for the years 2000-2004; $1 million which shall be for administrative and $4 million for CRA operational expenses) TOTAL FUNDING MTMENTS 28.00 Woe The Administration proposes a twofold funding strategy that addresses the previous legislative commitments identified above and further creates a mechanism to expedite CDBG expenditure rates to meet the HUD concerns regarding the 1.5 fiscal year spending requirement. ®2— 190" 119-W—la-4KW4 1J•J'{ 1.1 I r Uhr Iter 3•''�J v. -`.r :."::.'� .'fir As previously discussed in the companion item regardgmg the excessive amounts of funds available in the City's CDBG line of credit, the Administration cited dormant capital improvement projects (CIP) as a major factor contributing to the excessive funding ratio. Approximately $4.7 million of CDBG funds sitting in the line of credit can been attributed to dedicated allocations intended for CIP projects. In addition, approximately $1 million of unobligated funds are available in the line of credit. The Administration recommends that OF funds be reprogrammed to meet the previously approved $3 million allocation for the Historic Overtown Priority Business Corridor Project awarded through the adoption of Resolution -98- 592. The Administration further reconunends that an additional $2 million be allocated on a onetime basis toward the five year annual commitment of $5 million to the (CRA) authorized by Ordinance 11736. This commitment is currently being partially met through allocations included under the baseline funding terms in the executed Interlocal agree--...-.. :'�•'_{_� c' ...:''.:, a ` �� unobligated CDBG fund balance and $1 million from available HOPWA funds. The HOPWA allocation must be ::.rvvv-1- a prorated levet, HOPWA eligible clients. It is anticipated that the CRA is able to implement the aforementioned projects within thirty (30) days and this activity will positively impact the expenditure rate in the City's CDBG line of credit. It also addresses the funding commitments previously approved thrau-&L _ __ r =___ _ _ Resolution 98-592 and Ordinance 11736.

If the City Commission accepts the Administration's aforementioned recommendation to fund previously approved commitments to the CRA, a balance of $1.7 million remains from unobligated CDBG funds and previously committed funding for CIP projects. It is recommended that the $1.7 million balance be reallocated as follows - Demolition — The Building Department has already expended the $300,000 allocation awarded for demolition activities through the 25* Year CDBG allocation process.
