, a. Subrecipient Activity Reports
I:'
Assistant Housing Director Nina Bandoni reviewed the subreclpient activity reports and
reported that the reports do not include September 2000; statistics. The report Includes the
agencies and programs they provide; dollar amounts budgeted to them, and their year to date
,expe,nditures. Career Options and the Strive program applications for funds wore pulled and
those moneys were carried over into this year's budget. In July; 2000; WorldChangers was
included in the funding process. Ms. Bandoni said staff discovered that subrecipient reports
have reflected Countywide statistics rather than Clearwater statistics. Staff will schedule a
special meeting with subrecipients to review proper reporting procedures. In the future, staff
will only highlight those subrecipients who have not turned in reports. Those sUbrecipient5
will be required to report to the NAHAS (Neighborhood and Affordable Housing Advisory
Board) regarding tile deficiencies. Staff has included a statistical report and demographic

, , Information about the clients the City serves. Tho Loon Report provides a list of the housing
pool providers and Includes $646;000 In SHIP (State Housing Initiative Program) expenditures
for downpayment closing assistance and home ropalrs, and $60,000 in the CDGS (Community
Development Block Grant) program for owner-occupied rehabilitation. The report also
,provides economic development loa'n activity Information. Staff will provide the NAHAS with
a legend explaining the abbreViations on the report. In response to a question; Ms. Sandoni
said although budgeted funds for tho year was $804;000 and expenditures were $278,000,
staff expects the September agency reports will reflect that all funds budgeted have been
spent. She said the Homeless Emergency Project Is tho only organization that has not met
their goals. ' '
b. Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy
Ms. Bandoni said with HUD's approval of a Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy; the,
,City would be able to provide more funding to social service agencies from the COBG budget.
If the plan is adopted, more funding for social service agencies will be added. She reviewed
the Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy. Staff collected crime, income levels, and a variety,
of other statistics related to individual communities; and Identified specific geographic
boundaries. Meetings were held in North and South Clearwater to obtain input from
communities regarding their vision for the, future and revitalization. Concerns from the
community were related to employment, business opportunities, availability of employment
services; job skills training, education, places to meet, places to offer and operate various
programs that would be centrally located for. all residents, individual and family support
services; services for small businesses, etc. Staff concluded that North and South
Greenwood had a higher number of lower income families and other challenges that require
additional HUD and community assistance. A report was compiled which includes data
regarding family compositions, incomes, housing conditions, property values, etc. Staff feels
HUD will accept the information in the report and will allow the City to provide some
additional services to help those neighborhoods. Ms. Bandon! encouraged the NAHAS to
contact her regarding any input regarding the Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy, as it will
be made available to residents through the citizen participation process and ultimatelv
presented to the Commission and to HUD. It was commented that a lot of time and effort
went into the process.
Member Groth moved to recommend that staff proceed with the Neighborhood
Revitalization Strategy process as presented to the Commission and to HUO. The motion was
duly seconded and carried unanimously.
c. Amendments to the Consolidated Plan
, Ms. Sandon; said 2 amendments have been proposed to the Consolidated Plan. Two
organizations, the City's Economic Development Department and CNHS (Clearwater
Neighborhood Housing Services;) have requested either inclusion or amendments to their
funding in this year's plan. The City's requested funds would be matched by the EDA
(Economic Development Administration) for testing and a $70,000 planning study in North.
Greenwood that would result in the application of new projects to assist the area. HUD
indicated if this request were Included in the Consolidated Plan, funds would have to come

out of the Housing Department;s administrative budget. In the interim, staff received a ruling
fromHUD that would allow the City to move the $35,000 from the Economic Development
rehabilitation budget into the Economic Development line item for the grant.
Member Smith moved to recommend approval of the amendment as presented by staff
to move $35,000 from the Economic rehabilitation budget into the Economic Development
'line item. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.
Ms. Bandoni said the second amendment involves CNHS. Their bUdget this year was
$150;000 for small business loans. They have requested $60,000 of that money be set aside
in a loan loss reserve against a $400,000 line being offered by the SBA (Small Business
Association) program. The loan funds would be offered Countywide and loans funded under
this program would generate jobs and business opportunities for low and moderate income
. residents in Pinel/as County. City staff would be involved in the loan selection and monitoring
process as under the current program. CNHS would underwrite and service the loans. The
change would result in fewer direct loans to small businesses in Clearwater. An average loan
under the proposed amendment would generate 1 to 3 new jobs; for a total of 53 new jobs.
The loans would range from $2,500 to $25;000; resulting in 26 loans. Clearwater would like
to encourage more small business development within the City limits. Staff's concern is that
the proposal allows CNHS to use City funds for a Countywide program. Staff said Pine lias
County cannot participate in a partnership with the City this year, but is receptive to funding
the program next year. Discussion ensued and concern was expressed that there is a need in
Clearwater for creation of small businesses and jobs. It was felt the City's funds should not
be used to subsidize a Countywide economic development program.

Discussion ensued regarding the motion. It was suggested a new amendment be
submitted. It was remarked that the language in the proposed amendment is unclear. Ms.
Bandoni said CNHS will service the loans and the $60,000 would only be used in the event of
a loan default.

that up to $60,000 be set aside in loan loss reserve as loans come up, so long as businesses
are located within the City. The motion was duly seconded.

Concern was expressed that the amendment was being changed and a new
amendment should be presented for discussion and approval. Ms. Bandoni said staff can
approach CNHS based on today's discussion and determine whether they wish to move
forward with the proposed amendment. In response to a question, Ms. Bandoni said there is
no limitation of the timeframe for a business that receives funding to remain in Clearwater and
. hire Clearwater residents. She said only one company participating in the Economic
Development loan pool has moved out of Clearwater.
