SUMMARY OF REQUESTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
1. The City of Petaluma is allowed a maximum of $65,668 (20% of total grant) to administer
the CDBG program, under the Administrative Cap rule. The administrative funds can utilized for
salaries; supplies; Block Grant's share of intergovernmental transfers; various consulting
agreements, including Petaluma's share of administering the County -wide Continuum of Care
Program. Additionally, the City's Code Enforcement staff has requested funding for the ongoing
operation and continuing education related to the City's code enforcement software program.
Total Petalumans served: N/A
Staff Recommendation: $59,650
2. Petaluma People Services Center (PPSC) has requested $48,300 to continue PPSC's
Home Delivered Meals Program. Through the Home Delivered Meals program, which operates
every day of the year, homebound elders receive a daily hot meal and security check,
nutritional assessments, and, when needed, individualized counseling by a registered dietician.
Meals are cooked on weekdays at the PPSC newly renovated commercial kitchen, located in
the senior Center at 211 Novak Drive. On weekends PPSC purchases meals prepared by
Petaluma Valley hospital. Meals are delivered seven days a week by caring PPSC volunteers.
Total Meals Delivered: 26,800
Staff Recommendation: $47,000
3. Rebuilding Together Petaluma (RTP) requested $240,000 to serve as the City's
rehabilitation arm. RTP, previously funded from the PCDC Low -Mod housing set-aside, is in its 181r
year of providing much needed, free of charge, home repair, home modifications (for disabled
persons), and water and energy efficient services to low and very low income homeowners and
renters, as well as repairs and major maintenance on nonprofit facilities.. Because of budget
cuts, the City no longer has the staff capability to responsibly administer many small contracts.
This year, RTP will be coordinating with other nonprofit CDBG applicants to address the
rehabilitation requests from our low-income community. Because they use volunteer workers
and donated materials, RTP is able to greatly leverage CDBG's limited funds.
