Srvc. - Meals on Wheels $ 5,000 · Easter Seals Bay Area- Kaleidoscope After-School Prgm. $ 5,000 · Program Administration $ 6,600 TOTAL $90,379 At this time the City of Dublin has received the final amount that will be allocated to the City of Dublin in CDBG funds for 2003-2004 fiscal year. The previous allocation amount was an estimate based on previous years allocations. The County of Alameda produced this estimate because the final HUD budget had not been finalized and the County of Alameda did not know exactly what the total allotment would be. The City of Dublin will receive $100,980, an increase of $10,601 from the January estimate. At the January 7, 2003 Council meeting, the City Council indicated that there was a desire to fund Kaleidoscope After-School prOgram the full $10,000 requested in their proposal. Since the previous sum approved for Kaleidoscope Program was $5,000, an additional $5,000 could be directed to this agency. This would leave $5,601 in increased allocation. Staff recommends this amount be added to the Public Works Department's Sidewalk Ramp program. Because of regulatory requirements on Federal funds spent on Capital Improvements of this type, the work becomes increasingly efficient when the amount allocated to the project increases. It requires the same amount of regulatory oversight to provide this capital improvement if very little funding is directed to this project than if a larger amount is provided. The Public Works Department estimates that the use of CDBG funds for Sidewalk Ramps becomes feasible only when the amount granted exceeds $10,000. The City Council previously allocated $9,844 for the Sidewalk Ramp Project for 2003-2004. Adding the increased allocation ($5,601) would bring this total up to $15,445.
