a) FY2019/2020 CDBG Public Service Funding Recommendation: Joe Perez provided a funding
spreadsheet to the Board to use to establish the funding allocation recommendation of $283,331. Joe
instructed the Board to recommend two levels of funding: 1) no change, and 2) a 5% decrease from the
budget allocated in FY2018/2019. Joe stated there is a potential chance for a slight increase in total
funding allocation and the recommendation will be adjusted if additional funds become available. The
Learning Light Foundation did not re-apply for funding; therefore the amount that was allocated for
FY2018/2019 ($10,000) can be allocated elsewhere for FY2019/2020. The Board reviewed all of the
applications received for consideration of funding and discussed the funding recommendation at length for
FY 2019/2020.
After extensive discussion by Board Members, Board Member Kelso made a motion to approve the
preliminary funding recommendation for two levels of potential funding to be received as listed below,
seconded by Board Member Querijero-Ferreras. The motion was approved with five votes in favor; Chair
Beas accepted the motion. Joe Perez indicated that he will work with Chair Beas and Vice Chair Wilson to
complete the funding recommendation spreadsheet and memorandum that will be provided to the City
Manager and City Council by the Director of Community Services.
