City Commission Agenda
ENCLOSURES: September 14, 1999
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution
that allocates $100,000 of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to
continue the commercial fagade program.
BACKGROUND:
At the City Commission meeting of July 27, 1999, it was the Administration's intent to
recommend the allocation of $100,000 to support the commercial fagade program. The
Department of Community Development prepared legislation for City Commission
consideration that included the allocation of $28,002 for the payment of incentives to
economic development agencies surpassing minimum programmatic requirements in the
24'h Year and $100,000 for the actual fat.ade renovations.
However, due to a processing oversight, the City Commission agenda package for the
July 271h meeting included a revised cover memorandum, but the revised resolution did
not accompany the memorandum. Instead, the original resolution was included as an
attachment to the revised cover memorandum. The revised memorandum included the
allocation of the $100,000 for the fagade renovations, but the original resolution only
included the $28,002 allocation for the payment of incentives.
As a result, the City Commission's adoption of Resolution No. 99-572 at its meeting of
August 2, 1999 authorized the allocation for incentives to economic development
agencies, but did not provide funding to complete the fagade renovations.
The proposed legislation corrects this oversight by allocating $100,000 of Community
Development Block Grant funds to continue the commercial fagade program
administered by the economic development agencies. In the 24'h C.D. Year, the City
Commission authorized an allocation of $425,000 for the commercial facade program.
The 24'h Year C.D. allocation has a balance of approximately $200 and additional
funding is needed to cover completed improvements in the commercial fagade program
during the contract extension period.
Through this program, businesses in the target areas receive financial assistance to
complete fagade improvements designed to stimulate economic development. The
program design includes a grant that covers 70% of the cost to complete improvements
up to $2,000 with the remaining 30% of the repair expense the match responsibility of the
business owner.
Adoption of the proposed Resolution will allocate $100,000 for renovations through the
commercial fagade program.
