For Only) RCA Author: Brunson REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 7/2/2007 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: CS07-017 Analysis: In February 2007, the City of Huntington Beach received notification from HUD that the city was approved for a Special Project grant, as funded by the Congress in the Department of Housing and Urban Development Appropriation Act of 2006 (PL 109-115), and as described in the Congressional Record of November 18, 2005. In 2005, as part of the initial planning for a proposed new Seniors' Center, a request for grant funding was included in the items for consideration and discussion with the city's lobbyist, The Ferguson Group. They were successful in having the funds included in the appropriation. The $99,000 grant is specific to consultant costs for preliminary preparation of plans and specifications, conditional use permits, design review and environmental review. It is anticipated that the funding will be used for the environmental process, which the city is directly handling. This HUD funding will supplement the Makar OPA, and will make resources available within that agreement for construction or other components of the Seniors' Center project. City Council is requested to approve receipt and disbursement of these funds in accordance with the terms of the Grant Agreement. Strategic Plan Goal: City Services — Provide quality public services with the highest professional standards to meet community expectations and needs, assuring that the city is sufficiently staffed and equipped overall. Receipt of this grant will enable staff to proceed with the planning and design phase of the Seniors' Center to meet the community's expectations and needs for services for senior citizens. Environmental Status: Not applicable.
