• RECOMMENDED ACTION
•
Approve a Bill for an Ordinance authorizing the execution of two Intergovernmental Subgrantee
Agreements between the Arapahoe Board of County Commissioners and th e City of Englewood for
the reall ocati on of funds from the 2006 Arapahoe County Community De velopme nt Blo ck Grant
Program .
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFI ED
The Federal Commun ity Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program provides grants to units of
local governmen t and urban counties to meet housing and comm unity development needs . The
objective of the Program is achie ve d through projects deve loped by the local government that are
designed to give priority to those activities that benefit low-an d moderate-income families. Funds
are allocated by statutory formula to each entitlement area . Arapahoe County is an approved
entitlement area. The grant funds are distributed by Arapahoe County to each participating city
within the county.
In 2006, the City of Englewood received from Arapahoe County a CDBG grant of $75 ,000 for the
Housing Rehabilitation Project The Subgrantee Agreement requires all program Income to be
spent first before any additional CDBG funds can be requested from the County. For the program
year, the Housing Rehabilitation Project received an abnormally high amount of program Income
due to loan payoffs. Staff requested extensions of time from Arapahoe County to spend the funds
beyond the May 31 , 2007 deadline , Staff realized that the Housing Rehabilitation Project would
not be able to spend the funding by the extended deadline of November 30, 2007 . Staff then
requested the reallocation of the $7S,OO0 to two new infrastructure proje cts:
1. The Paseo Project (Phase 1) • $S0,000: The Paseo Proje ct proposes to transform a 6,000
square foot existing walkway owned by the City into a lighted, safe and active public plaza.
This public plaza is located be tw een two buildings in Downtown Englewood on the west
si de of the 3400 block of South Broadway. Phase 1 will remove ex isting concrete, rock and
overgrown landscaping; install conduits for underground utilities, and replace the walkway
for the plaza. A 2008 CDBG application will cover Phase 2 that will install new lighting,
seating, irrigated plant beds and landscaping .
2. The Northwest Englewood Sidewalk Project -$2S ,000 : The sidewalk project will install or
replace approximate ly 380 feet of sidewalk in a residential neighborhood located on South
Zuni Street near West Wesley Avenue, just north of the Colorado's Finest Alternati ve High
Scho ol. No sidewalk currently exists along the South Zuni Street portion , and it is a safety
issue for pedestrians and students . The adjoining sidewalk along West Wesley Avenue is
damaged and needs upgrading to be in compliance with ADA requirements .
On October 23 , 2007, the Arapahoe County Commissioners unanimously approved the request to
reallocate the 2006 CDBG funds of $7S ,000 to the Paseo Project (Phase 1) and the Northwest
Englewood Sidewalk Project.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
•
The existing employees in Community De velopment are available to administer the projects and •
their salaries and benefits are part of the City's contribution.
For the Paseo Project, other committed funds are $20,600 from professional services in the
Community Development budget, Community Development staff time for administration, and an
already completed survey.
For the sidewalk project, other committed funds consist of Community Development staff time for
project administration.
