Agenda No. 2
CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
City Council Meeting: February 5, 2012
Department: City Manager
Subject: Consideration and/or action regarding a
proposed submittal of project(s) to be
considered for funding under the Bexar
County Community Development Block
Grant program. (D. Harris/D. Harris)
BACKGROUND
Bexar County CDBG program will be accepting applications later this month to be considered
for funding in the current cycle year as part of the Federal Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. Though the program is run by
Bexar County on our behalf, the projects we submit can be in any part of the City—anywhere in
the three counties. To qualify, a project must demonstrate that it will primarily benefit one or
more of the following groups: low to moderate income individuals, senior citizens, people
addressed by the Americans with Disability Act (ADA). Projects funded fall into two categories:
Public Service/Social Services and Infrastructure, public facilities and economic development.
Though staff is not sure of the amount of funding that will be provided by HUD, Bexar County
estimates the figure to be about $1.5M for Program Year 2013. Funding for this cycle will
follow the following formula:
65%--Infrastructure; public facilities; economic development
20%--Administration (Bexar County CDBG)
15%--Public Service/Social Service
Projects in the Public Service/Social Service category are highly competitive and difficult for
new projects to be funded as existing funding has continued from year to year for these
programs. Where Schertz has a chance is in Infrastructure or public facilities categories; these
are typically one one-time capital projects that do not incur recurring costs.
Staff is developing a list of Capital Improvement Projects (CIP), big and small, only a portion of
which have been identified as possibly meeting potential qualification for funding by CDBG. In
speaking with Bexar County staff, most suburban cities projects that score well are ADA-related
projects which are funded out of the Infrastructure category.
Staff has developed a listing of projects that appear to qualify, listed below. All involve
installing handicap ramps and ten-foot walkways, some projects also include additional handicap
parking spaces. For Program Year 2013, staff recommends the following priority list of projects.
