GRANT (CDBG) FUNDS TO THE TOWN OF LOS GATOS FOR FISCAL YEAR

RECOMMENDATION:
Y . Open and hold the public hearing.
2. Close the public hearing.
3. Adopt the attached Resolution (Attachment 1) Allocating Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Funds to the Town of Los Gatos for Fiscal Year 1999-2000.
BACKGROUND:
CDBG funds are provided by the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), through the County
of Santa Clara, for individual jurisdictions to allocate. Each fiscal year, the Town solicits and receives applications from
nonprofit agencies and Town departments for these CDBG grant funds. Summaries of all grant applications received
for FY 1999/2000 are Attachment 2 to this report. The Town is allotted $166,543 in CDBG funds for FY 1999/2000.
No more than $32,374 may be allocated to Category I, "Public Services," projects. $15,000 is automatically allocated
to General Administration. The remainder, $119,169, is available for Category II, "Housing and Other," projects.
DISCUSSION:
The Community Services Commission met on March 18, 1999 to discuss the CDBG grant allocation recommendation
made by its Evaluation Committee. The Commission voted unanimously to recommend to the Council that it adopt a
resolution allocating FY 1999/00 CDBG funds as recommended by the Evaluation Committee. The recommended
allocation is included as Exhibit A to Attachment 1, in the column titled "1999/00 CSC Funding Recmnd."
Category 1- Public Services: The Town received five applications from nonprofit agencies requesting funding
under Category I, for a total of $69,551. Next Door, Solutions to Domestic Violence is the only applicant which has not
previously received Los Gatos CDBG funds. Due to the large difference between funds requested and funds available,
the Commission recommends that Next Door not receive CDBG funds, but be considered for funding under the Town
Community Grant process. It further recommends that Catholic Charities, Live Oak Adult Day Services, and Second
Harvest Food Bank be funded at FY 1998/99 levels. The remaining applicant, San Jose State University Foundation
(SJSU), has historically received both CDBG and Community Grant funds. The Commission recommends that SJSU
receive the balance of available Category I funds, $4,524, and that the remainder of its request be considered for

Community Grant funds.
Category 11- Housing and Other: In Category II, allocations to Housing Rehab Admin. and the County Rehab.
Specialist are pre -determined by the CDBG program. The Town received one application from a nonprofit agency,
Charities Housing Development Corporation, requesting $50,000 funding under Category II. This request represents
Los Gatos' proportional share of total project costs, based on population. The Town did not submit an application for
funding of its own Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) projects, as it currently has a backlog of ADA projects from
prior years' allocations. The Committee recommends that Charities Housing be allocated its entire requested amount,
and that the balance of Category II funds, $9,169, be allocated to the Town Affordable Housing Fund. Monies in this
Fund, along with other Town housing funds, are used for construction of affordable housing projects throughout the
Town.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTS:
Allocation of funds is not a project defined under CEQA, and no further action is required.
FISCAL IMPACT:
CDBG funds come to the Town from the County. The total award for FY 1999/00 is $166,543. $15,000will be retained
by the County as payment for its Rehab Specialist services. The remaining $151,543 would be paid to the Town, to the
following accounts:
