REPORT To the Honorable Mayor and .C,.ity Council <br /> From the Ci~ Manager <br /> <br />FebruarY9, 2004 <br /> <br />Subject <br />Authorization to submit an application for the Fair Oaks Community Center Information and <br />Referral Program to the San Mateo County Office of Housing for CDBG Funding for FY 04- <br />05 and to designate Teri Chin, Human Services Manager, as the contact person. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br />Approve resolution to authorize submission of application and to designate Teri Chin as <br />the contact person. <br /> <br />Background <br />Since it's inception, the Fair Oaks Community Center Information and Referral program <br />has been funded, in part, through a contract with the San Mateo County Human Services <br />Agency Office of Housing. Due a reduction in funding available for the Information and <br />Referral Program contract, the Human Services Agency has encouraged the City of <br />Redwood City to apply for funding through the San Mateo County Office of Housing for <br />CDBG funds for services provided to unincorporated North Fair Oaks residents through the <br />Fair Oaks Community Center Information and Referral Program. The City applied to and <br />received $15,000 in San Mateo County CDBG funds for FY 03-04. <br /> <br />For FY 04-05, the City again submitted an application for San Mateo County CDBG Funds <br />for the Fair Oaks Community Center Information and Referral Program. After having <br />submitted the application, staff was informed that although the application has been <br />accepted, it will not be considered for funding unless we have a resolution from the City <br />Council authorizing submission of the application and designating a contact person. <br /> <br />Alternative <br />Without a resolution, the City's application will not be considered for funding. <br /> <br />Fiscal Impact <br />The City is requesting $15,000 from the San Mateo County CDBG funds for FY 04-05 as a <br />part of its effort to maintain current levels of funding from the County of San Mateo for the <br />Fair Oaks Community Center Information and Referral Program. Without this grant, the <br />City would have an additional deficit of $15,000 for FY 04-05. <br /> <br />Teri Chin Corin r~G~enteno <br />Human Services Manager Director, Parks, Recreation, City Manager <br /> And Community Services <br /> <br /> <br />
