Recommendation Concerning the 2013 Neighborhood Renewal Initiative Mini-Grant Agreement - Keith Wilkins, Community & Environment Department Director
That the Board take the following action regarding the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funded Neighborhood Renewal Initiative Mini-Grant Agreement with Community Improvement Association, Inc., (aka: Montclair Improvement Association):
A. Award a Neighborhood Renewal Initiative Mini-Grant Agreement, known as the Montclair Paint House Number on Street Curb Project, in the maximum amount of $500, for specific benefit of the Community Improvement Association, Inc., (aka: Montclair Improvement Association). The funds will assist the Association with costs of painting house numbers at street curb locations in the Montclair neighborhood located in the Palafox Corridor Redevelopment Area; and
B. Authorize the Chairman or Vice Chairman to execute the Agreement and all related documents as required to implement the Project.
[Funding: Fund 129, 2010 CDBG, Cost Center 221435] |
| BACKGROUND: |
The Escambia Consortium 2010-14 Consolidated Plan and 2010 Annual Plan approved by the Board on August 4, 2011 (see Exhibit I), included a CDBG allocation for the Neighborhood Renewal Initiative Project targeting the County’s designated Community Redevelopment Areas (Englewood, Brownsville, Warrington, Barrancas, and the Palafox Corridor). The mini-grant allows for small scale improvements of up to $500 in the targeted redevelopment area without the requirement of volunteer match from the neighborhood. The 2013 proposal submitted by Community Improvement Association, Inc. (aka: Montclair Improvement Association), included along with the Agreement in Exhibit II, will target improvements in the Palafox Corridor Redevelopment Area. The proposal has been reviewed by the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) and Neighborhood Enterprise Foundation, Inc. (NEFI) staff. The $500 maximum grant will assist the neighborhood association with the costs of painting house (street address) numbers at the street curb in the Montclair neighborhood, which will aid in locating individual addresses and support neighborhood watch initiatives.
