AZUSA CONSENT CALENDAR TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: DAVID E. RUDISEL, DEPUTY TO THE CITY MANAGER FOR NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT VIA: RICK COLE, CITY MANAGER Au' DATE: MARCH 17, 2003 SUBJECT: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE FILING OF A CODE ENFORCEMENT GRANT APPLICATION WITH THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT RECOMMENDATION It is recommended the City Council approve a resolution authorizing the filing of a Code Enforcement Grant Program application through the California Department of Housing and Community Development in an amount not to exceed $100,000. BACKGROUND On February 14, 2003, the California Department of Housing and Community Development issued a "Notice of Funding Availability" (NOFA) in the amount of $4,750,000. Specifically, the grant funding is for capital equipment purchases associated only with housing code enforcement programs. A copy of the NOFA is attached for Council review. Staff received notice of the grant availability on March 3, 2003, and is working on completing the required documentation by the application deadline of April 4, 2003. Part of the grant application requires that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing staff to apply for the grant funding. The attached resolution authorizes the application to be submitted, and authorizes the City Manager to sign all documents related to the application. The grant application will request funding for capital equipment expenditures, which would be used in housing code enforcement, Problem Oriented Policing efforts by the Azusa Police Department, and neighborhood outreach programs. Specifically, funds would be requested to acquire the following capital equipment; four (4) Notebook computers, (4) portable wireless printers, wireless digital video camera equipment to be used solely by the police department, (4) portable handheld lead based paint detectors, and a used motor-home vehicle to be used in neighborhood outreach efforts. FISCAL IMPACT There is no guarantee that the City would receive any capital equipment funding under the grant, and since it can only be used to supplement existing code enforcement funding, any monies that may be received could only be used to enhance existing programs and efforts. If funds are received, we could expect a cost associated with maintaining grant funded equipment and to replace consumable items associated with equipment operation.
