Summary

The City’s 2016 Community Development Block Grant (CBDG) provides sufficient Program Income funds for the Housing Rehabilitation Project at the Glass Beach Apartments. This activity was approved for inclusion in the 2016 CDBG grant application by the City Council after a public hearing held on July 11, 2016. At this time, adequate Program Income has been collected to provide $75,000 for the Housing Rehabilitation Project at the Glass Beach Apartments. The project will improve the Glass Beach Apartment exterior lighting, ensuring a safe and well-lit outdoor environment. In the City's grant application, Building Better Neighborhoods Inc. (BBN) was described as the intended grant subrecipient who would have primary responsibility for implementing and managing the project. On April 9, 2018 City Council adopted Resolution 4082-2018 to approve a Loan Agreement with Building Better Neighborhoods Inc. (BBN) as the recommended agreement form by CDBG, however, during general conditions clearance CDBG requested a separate subreciepient agreement be in place which holds BBN to all regulations and standards. BBN (also known as the Community Development Commission of Mendocino County) has been a successful CDBG subrecipient of the City and is experienced in complying with CDBG and other government grant requirements.
