STAFF REPORT
RE: Provide Rates of Pay for Seasonal Pool Employees SUBMITTED BY: Kelly Buendia, Administrative Services Director PURPOSE OF REPORT: Information only Discussion Action Item MEETING DATE: 03/20/2012

WHAT IS BEING ASKED OF THE CITY COUNCIL/BOARD: The City Council is being asked to adopt a Resolution stating the hourly rates of pay for Seasonal Pool Employee classifications. BACKGROUND: Hourly rates of pay for seasonal pool employees were adopted on Resolution 2299 (2007). Since that time, rates of pay have been adjusted for COLA's and to stay ahead of minimum wage requirements. It is good practice to memorialize the rates of pay. DISCUSSION: Rates from the 2010 and 2011 pool seasons have been re-stated with ranges to be utilized for returning and/or more experienced staff. Staff is requesting a slight increase in the pay for Pool Manager from a range of $11.00 to $13.00 per hour to a range of $12.50 to $14.00 per hour. This will allow for flexibility should an experienced candidate apply. OPTIONS:

FISCAL IMPACT: None $ Account Number: Comments: The proposed rates of pay are not changing significantly from past years, with the possible exception of the Pool Manager. SUGGESTED MOTIONS: Move to adopt the proposed Resolution providing pay ranges for Seasonal Pool classifications.

STAFF REPORT
RE: Public Hearing and Consideration of the 2011-2012 CDBG Application MEETING DATE: 03/20/2012

SUBMITTED BY: Richard Knoll, Community Development Director PURPOSE OF REPORT: Information only Discussion Action Item

WHAT IS BEING ASKED OF THE CITY COUNCIL/BOARD: The Council is being asked to consider staff recommendations regarding application for 2011-2012 State Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding. BACKGROUND: The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) has announced the availability of approximately $34,500,000 for the Program Year 2011-2012 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds allocated to the State from HUD. This Notice of Funding Availability (2012 NOFA) applies to the CDBG Community Development, CDBG Economic Development, Colonia and Native American Allocations. Typical activities funded under these allocations include: business assistance projects and programs; micro-enterprise assistance programs; housing rehabilitation programs and projects; homeownership assistance programs; housing acquisition projects; public infrastructure projects; public facility projects; public services programs; and planning and technical assistance grants. DISCUSSION: City staff had anticipated applying for 2011-2012 CDBG funds and has conducted a staff level design phase public hearing which was noticed and attended by representatives of Mt. Konocti Facilitation who proposed an application for economic development funds for a business loan technical assistance program. Staff also had discussions with Pacific West Companies, the developer of the Martin Street Senior Housing project, about making application for CDBG new housing development funding. Because of various reasons both of these proposals were ruled out for this funding round. The City has two existing open CDBG grants, a community development housing rehabilitation grant with a balance of approximately $380,000 and an economic development business loan grant with a balance of approximately $290,000. As such, the City does not need to apply for additional CDBG funding for these purposes. A public hearing notice was published in anticipation of the City Council hearing. The notice indicated that the City anticipated applying for two (2) CDBG Planning and Technical Assistance (P/TA) grants, one for a city-wide household income and housing condition survey and the other for a storm drainage master plan update. After discussing the possible applications with a CDBG consultant, however, it has been determined that it makes sense to hold off on applying this year. Separate P/TA only applications go to the bottom of the pot and are only going to be considered if there are funds available (not likely since there is funding for only ten P/TAs). If by chance the City was funded for the P/TA's, we would need to expend 60 percent of the P/TA funds by the next application round in order to apply for additional community development or economic development CDBG funds next year. Bottom line - the consultant suggested
Meeting Date: 03/20/2012 Page 1 Agenda Item #VIII.A.

that if we think we are going to be ready for community development (housing) or economic development (business loan) funds next year it is probably better to hold off on an application this year since HCD has gone to a two-year application cycle. OPTIONS: 1. Go ahead and apply for the 2 P/TA grants and run the risk of not being able to apply for funds next year. 2. Do not apply for CDBG funds this year and consider an application for housing, economic development, and P/TA funds next year (2012-2013) FISCAL IMPACT: None $ Account Number: Comments:

SUGGESTED MOTIONS: Move to not apply for CDBG funds this year (2011-2012) and direct staff to reconsider an application for housing, economic development, and P/TA funds next year (2012-2013)
