Vice -Chair Henninger noted that he received responses from three board members who are interested in
being on the CSB funding subcommittee, Board Members Beas, Murphy and Kelso, and asked if any
others were interested. Board Member Rubalcava expressed interest but was not sure if her schedule
would accommodate her participation. Vice -Chair Henninger asked Board Member Noteboom if she
had any interest and she stated she would be willing to serve on the subcommittee.
Joe stated that the Community Services Department plans to submit a memorandum to the City
Manager/City Council noting the CDBG funding guidelines that were put together in 2011 at the
Mayor's request and that the Community Services Board is recommending to follow the same funding
guidelines for this year's recommendation. He suggested that the Board may consider going dark in
October to allow time for feedback from the City Council and meet in November to discuss the
subcommittee's recommendation. He noted there is $754,000 in requests and at most $308,400 potential
funding available; more than likely less. Vice -Chair Henninger asked whether the CDAC would be
voting on their recommendation and Joe responded that the Board's recommendation would be included
with the CDAC's overall CDBG funding recommendation but similar to last year, has no intention to
form a CDAC funding subcommittee to review and vote solely on the CSB's funding recommendation.
After discussion, Vice -Chair Henninger suggested to the Board that they meet in October to discuss the
applications together and decide at that time whether there is a need to appoint a subcommittee or
proceed with a recommendation as a whole. Board Member Cudd suggested that each Board Member
use the projected amounts available and think about ways they would like to distribute the funds and
bring that to the next meeting. Board Member Beas also suggested that Board members think reducing
funding or eliminate funding to agencies that have long received CDBG funding before making a final
determination. Vice -Chair Henninger stated that this idea was provided and would be incorporated in
the communication to be sent to the City Manager/City Council. Joe stated he would inform the CSB on
feedback received, if any.
Board Member Rubalcava asked when the policy changed regarding Community Development's
requirement for non -profits to submit a financial audit as a component of the CDBG funding process.
Joe stated that the policy was updated approximately three years ago to comply with HUD requirements
for agencies reporting less than $2 million in revenue. He also noted non-profit agencies that attended
the pre -application conference were informed that for those who qualify, submission of a financial audit
was not required but highly recommended. This would give the Board a full picture of their agency's
services but it was left entirely up to each individual agency to decide whether or not to submit a
financial audit.
INFORMATIONAL ITEMS: None.
9. ADJOURNMENT: Vice -Chair Henninger adjourned the meeting at 9:34 p.m.
