2. Study session regarding the Community Development Block Grant Fiscal Year 2020-2021
Budget Allocation. (Kris Romasanta, Community Development Coordinator)
Coordinator Romasanta stated that the purpose of this study session was to receive feedback from the
Community Development Block Grant Standing Committee of the City Council (CDBG Standing
Committee) regarding the Fiscal Year (FY) 2020-2021 Annual Action Plan (Action Plan) and Budget. On
February 18, 2020, the CDBG Standing Committee made preliminary funding allocations to public
service sub -recipients and capital improvement projects based on budget estimates from the previous
year.
The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) required local jurisdictions to
prepare an Action Plan in order to receive funds through the CDBG Program. The City began to develop
its FY 2020-2021 Action Plan. As part of this process, the City was required to hold two public hearings.
The first public hearing was held at a Regular City Council meeting on February 26, 2020 to assess the
needs of the community. The second and final public hearing to hear public comments on the draft
Action Plan is scheduled for April 22, 2020.
Coordinator Romasanta recommended Life Moves, Legal Aid Society of San Mateo County, HIP
Housing and United Way of the Bay Area be moved into the Housing Fund. She stated Health Mobile
and Renaissance Entrepreneurship would not receive funding at this time.
Mayor Garbarino encouraged Renaissance Entrepreneurship to establish a presence is South San
Francisco and submit a completed application before presenting to the CDBG Standing Committee.
Councilmember Nicolas inquired whether CID could request an increase of funds next year if they were
able to assist additional residents. Coordinator Romasanta confirmed they would be able to request more
money for the next cycle if that were the case.
Coordinator Romasanta recommended that the Habitat for Humanity not receive any funding at this time.
She advised representatives from the City of South San Francisco Parks and Recreation Department were
available to go over what they would do with the additional $60,000 for the Irish Town Green.
Park's Manager Richardson stated the additional funding would go towards building a pathway to the
existing field from the airport side of the park where the parking lot and bus stop are located. Park's
Manager Richardson advised it would also help fund additional fencing to help designate use space
between the sports field and opposite side of the field.
Councilmember Nicolas inquired when the City anticipated completion of the project. Park's Manager
Richardson estimated completion would be around 6 months upon receiving of the funds, towards the end
of 2020.
