SUBJECT: Consideration of Projects for Community Development Block Grant Applications under the 2016 Butte and Valley Wildfire Recovery Disaster Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) and Direction to Staff
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On September 1, 2016, the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) announced the availability of $7,592,000 in federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program funding for recovery efforts relating to the September 2015 Wildfire Disaster.
On May 9, 2017, Board and citizen input was gathered regarding the possible uses of the remaining CDBG 2016 Butte and Valley Wildfire Recovery Disaster NOFA funds available. The Anderson Springs Sewer Project was given top priority and on May 23, 2017, your Board approved an application for CDBG funds for this project in the amount of $1,994,263. The total project cost is $10,886,125. The grant application has been approved, and all funding is in place for the Anderson Springs project. The balance of CDBG Fire Recovery funding remaining is $5,597,737.
In addition to the May 9, 2017 discussion with your Board the County CDBG consultant also worked with several County department heads and members of the community to obtain ideas and projects for possible CDBG funding. These ideas and projects were reviewed with staff at HCD and the subsequent list of potential projects is attached hereto. There are three infrastructure projects and two programs which meet CDBG eligibility, national objective, and HCD funding preference.
The application due date for the CDBG 2016 Butte and Valley Wildfire Recovery Disaster NOFA funds has been extended from September 1, 2017 to August 31, 2018.
