City Commission Agenda -
ENCLOSURES: May 11, 2000
It is respectfully recommended that the City. Commission adopt the attached Resolution to
deobligate $500,000 of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and $500,000 of
HOME Partnership Investment (HOME) funds previously allocated through the adoption of
Resolution 98 - 1014, intended to finance the Lyric Village Housing Project to be developed by
St. John Community Development Corporation.
BACKGROUND
The City Commission adopted Resolution 98 - 1014 at its meeting of October 13, 1998 that
allocated $500,000 of Community Development Block Grant funds and $500,000 of HOME
Partnership Investment (HOME) funds for the purpose of providing financing for the St. John
Community Development Corporation to develop the Lyric Village Housing Project.
As previously discussed in a companion item on the Special Meeting Agenda, the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has advised the Department of
Community Development that the City is not in compliance with Departmental progress
standards in the expenditure of funds in its line of credit balances. In addition, federal
regulations stipulate that HOME funds must be expended within five (5) years of obligation.
The Lyric Village Housing Project has not progressed to a stage where development is feasible
in the near future. Therefore, it is recommended that funds previously awarded to this project be
deobligated to ensure that the City can address the HUD concern and expend grant funds on a
timely basis. As the project moves forward and reaches the implementation stage, it is
recommended that St. John Community Development Corporation reapply to the City for
assistance from possible future sources of funding.
The proposed Resolution deobligates CDBG and HOME allocations previously approved for the
Lyric Village Housing Project.
