SUMMARY OF REQUESTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
(Corresponds in Numbering to Table in Exhibit A)
1. The City of Petaluma is allowed a maximum of$56,019 (20% of total grant) to administer the
CDBG program, under the Administrative Cap rule. The administrative funds are utilized for
salaries; supplies; Block Grant's share of intragovernmental 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: $55,933
2. The Committee on the Shelterless (COTS) has requested $25,120 to be utilized for repair and
maintenance projects at the Mary Isaak Center.
Total Served: 500 individuals annually
Staff Recommendation: $0
3. Disability Services Legal Center has requested $20,000 for its program of "housing
accessibility modifications" which helps eliminate barriers in homes of persons with
disabilities. It has been estimated that keeping individuals safely in their own homes and
out of convalescent hospitals saves taxpayers thousands of dollars per month and greatly
enhances the disabled person's quality of life.
Total Served: 5-10 households
Staff Recommendation: $0
4. North Bay Children's Center is requesting $34,500 to improve the organization's capacity for
serving very-low income children by adding square footage to their facility for staff use;
thereby freeing up space for use by the children.
Total Served: 109 children (plus teachers and staff)
Staff Recommendation: $0
5. Petaluma People Services Center(PPSC) has requested $42,014 to continue PPSC's Home
Delivered Medls 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: 21,000
Staff Recommendation: $42,014
Resolution No. 2012-039 N.C.S. Page 3
6. Rebuilding Together Petaluma (RTP) requested $182,150 to serve as the City's rehabilitation
arm. RTP, previously funded from the PCDC Low-Mod housing set-aside, is in its 16th 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.
Total Rehabilitation Jobs to be Completed: 30-35
Staff Recommendation: $182,150
