EXHIBITS ATTACHED 1 - Letter from William H. Fraley, Alameda County Planning Director 2 - City-County Cooperation Agreement 3 - Draft Resolution re: City-County Cooperation Agreement RECOMMENDATION , Adopt Resolution FINANCIAL STATEMENT (See discussion below. ) DESCRIPTION Since 1982, the City of Dublin has participated in the Alameda County Urban County Housing and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. In August, 1984, the City entered into a City-County Cooperation Agreement for CDBG Program Years 1985, 1986, and 1987. During the three Program Years, the City has received approximately $159,000.00 in CDBG program funds for Dublin projects. This does not include certain rehabilitation funds and other countywide program funding received by the community. The Alameda County Staff has invited the City to participate in the upcoming Urban County CDBG Program for the 1988, 1989 and 1990 Program Years. The Alameda County Staff estimates that approximately $58,000 of CDBG funds may be available during each program year, for a three year total of approxmately $174,000. Final figures from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development' (HUD) are expected in January, 1988. Per the Urban County policies, a minimum of 28% must be used for housing projects, leaving a maximum of 72% for public improvement projects. If $58,000 is available each year, a minimum of $16,240 could be used for housing projects, and a maximum of $41,760 could be used for public improvement projects. The public improvement projects could potentially include Arroyo Vista Cable T.V. work, a soundwall, or other similar projects. Decisions on actual project proposals would need to be made at a later date. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution 1) agreeing to participate in the Alameda County Urban County Housing and Community Development Block Grant Program for the 1988, 1989 and 1990 Program Years, and 2) authorizing the Mayor to execute the City-County Cooperation Agreement. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ITEM NO. -? e .

Box 2340 Dublin, CA 94568 Su 3, Participation in the Alameda County Urban County Housing and Community Development (HCD) Block Grant Program for the 1988, 199 89 and 1990 Program'Years - Execution of Cooperation Agreements De 7' Ar. nbrose: Seven Alameda County jurisdictions have participated in the Urban County HCD Program over the past twelve years. The Alameda County Urban County is again initiating preparations for its three year Application for Housing and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in order to continue the Urban County HCD Program over the 1988, 1989 and 1990 program years. The purpose of this letter is to invite cities to participate in the Urban County HCD program during the upcoming three year application period. The Urban County HCD Program undertakes community renewal and lower income housing assistance projects. In the program year ending June 30, 1987, activities included minor home repair, housing rehabilitation, construction of streets and other public improvements, fair housing activities, removal of architectural barriers, and economic development activities. The main criteria for project eligibility is that a project benefit low to moderate income populations. Under current HUD regulations, the County must take full responsibility for the execution of the community development and housing assistance programs and for meeting the requirements of other applicable laws. In addition, the County will work cooperatively with participating cities in determining project proposals for funding, although the County holds final responsibility for all project selections. n Ah 224 W.WINTON AVENUE• ROOM 169• HAYWARD, CA A�TAUHMENT J all -tL .tL tL .tL September 29, 1987 William H.
