CityCouncil | 2020-06-02 | 16 | (*20-372) Resolution No. 15657, "Authorizing the Commencement of Proceedings for the Formation of a Community Facilities District (CFD), Designating Consultants, Approving a Deposit/Reimbursement Agreement, and Authorizing and Directing Certain Related Actions For the Alameda Marina Project.' Adopted. REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS (20-373) Public Hearing to Consider an Amendment to the Fiscal Year 2019-20 Community Development Block Grant Action Plan and Authorize the City Manager to Negotiate and Execute Related Documents, Agreements and Modifications. The Housing Authority Management Analyst gave a brief presentation. The Community Development Director noted proposed providers from Building Futures, Family Law Center and the Food Bank are available. Vice Mayor Knox White inquired what assumes an impact has been made to an applicant's salary; stated that he is unclear whether the salary is being used to determine whether an applicant is above or under the Area Median Income (AMI) due to COVID-19; requested clarification of the intention. The Housing Authority Management Analyst responded for CDBG purposes, the income is at the time of receiving the benefit, which is post-COVID; stated pre-COVID status will be reviewed to verify there is a significant change or substantial loss of income. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft inquired how the funds for rent relief work with the funds being raised and allocated in the community fund, Alameda Strong; stated the rent money will be paid directly to the landlord up to $3,500; inquired whether the programs are parallel. The Housing Authority Management Analyst responded rather than advertising two separate programs, consistent messaging will be used with a single portal and application, which will be processed and administered on the back-end; stated those that do not qualify for CDBG funds can be referred to the Alameda Strong program; the process for applicants will be seamless and the end goal is to ensure the tenant gets their rent paid. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether or not there would be duplications in payment from both Alameda Strong and rent relief, to which the Housing Authority Management Analyst responded in the affirmative. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft stated the number of domestic violence calls for the month of April 2020 had increased 41.5% over April 2019; noted those booked for domestic violence are not detained due to COVID shelter in place orders and are allowed to return to the same residence; stated the emergency shelter program is important.
