fundIng had gone out to those that had applIed last year
Mayor Lockhart stated the CIty had made a concerted effort to buIld hOUSIng and create
homes for low and very low Income people, so those people that qualified for CDBG
funds based on Income, need, and acceSSIbIlIty, were the ones the City should be fundIng
CDBG funds should be used for these programs Could the CIty fund the curb ramps out

curb ramps
CIty Manager Ambrose stated, In regard to curbs, case law contInued to change the ADA
reqUIrements, therefore the CIty was contmually redOIng the ramps
CommunIty Development Director Jen Ram stated that SInce the CIty was not an
entItlement CIty, there was a certam percentage, County-wide, of funds that could only be
desIgnated for servIce prOVIders and the rest of the funds had to be some type of capItal
project The CIty was pushIng the lImit at thiS tIme WIth ItS fundIng to service prOVIders
The County had adVIsed the CIty to use less for servIce prOVIders and more for capItal
costs
CIty Manager Ambrose stated that the CIty was part of an urban county entIty made up of
five CItIes III regard to CDBG fund percentages Eighty-five percent of these funds were
for jUnSdlctIOnallmprovements The other fifteen percent of the funds were for servIce
prOVIders The CIty was takIng a larger portIOn of the servIce prOVIder funds and usmg It
for SOCial servIces because the rest of the urban county cItIes were usmg the
preponderance of theIr funds for jUnSdIctIOnallmprovements The CIty was concerned

about takIng the entIty's SOCial servIce provIder percentage over the deSIgnated lImIt
Staff could check WIth the urban county to see If the CIty could Increase theIr fundIng of
SOCial servIce provIders WIthout gOIng over the set percentage
Mayor Lockhart stated she could support Staffs recommendatIon If they could look at
fundmg the SIdewalk Ramp Repair through a dIfferent fund and at least splIttmg that
money among the three groups that would not receIve funds tOnIght
CIty Manager Ambrose suggested Staff contact the County to see If the CIty could
allocate the $10,000 for the Curb Ramp funds WIthout gOIng over the 150/0 percent
deSIgnatIOn Staff would brIng the mformatIOn back to CouncIl

ASSIstant CIty Manager PattIllo stated CRIL was sent InfOrmatIOn regardmg the

of Tn-Valley Haven's SOjourner House, $5,427, and Program AdmInIstratIOn, $6,600, and

decrease, If more than $500, be dlstnbuted evenly across all programs that dId not have
mandatory set amounts, and, If the decrease was less than $500, the amount should be
deducted from the CIty'S SIdewalk Safety RepaIr and Curb Ramp Replacement Program
In the event there was an Increase In CDBG fundIng, dIrect Staff to apply the funds to the
CIty'S SIdewalk Safety RepaIr and Curb Ramp Replacement Program, and If the CIty

study would determIne how much of the new faCIlIty was the responSIbilIty of the eXlstmg
communIty and how much was the responSIbIlIty of the new commumty ThiS needed to
