City of Oak Creek

Common Council Report

 

Meeting Date:           August 19, 2003

 

Item No. 14:   

 

Recommendation:  That the Council allocate the City’s additional 2003 CDBG funds to the projects that are found to be eligible from those that have been or will be proposed.

 

Background:  The City has been informed by Milwaukee County that our share of the 2003 Community Development Block Grant Funding is more than we had anticipated when the original 2003 proposals were submitted.  Accordingly, an additional $10,360 is available for 2003 projects.

 

The City may reallocate these funds without a public hearing provided that individual project funding is not increased by more than 25% or $5000, whichever is higher.

 

The options, as I see them are:

 

  1. Allocate the entire $10,360 to the AC Spur Track cleanup project.  Even though this would exceed the $5000 limit, it would not exceed the 25% cap.

 

  1. Allocate $5000 to the AC Spur Track Project, with the remaining $5360 to be dispersed proportionately among the approved 2003 public service recipients.

 

  1. Allocate the entire $10,360 proportionally to each of the public service recipients.

 

  1. Identify a new project, in which case a public hearing would need to be held.

Options 1, 2 and 3 would not require an additional public hearing.  Option 4, a new project, would require a public hearing.  Keep in mind that any unused funding from the AC Spur Track project can be reallocated to other projects.

 

Fiscal Impact: The use of CDBG funds reduces the amount of funding the City has to provide through the annual budget to provide these same levels of service.
