 City of Hermosa Beach --- 04-13-99
SUBJECT : 1999-2000 LOS ANGELES COUNTY URBAN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) PROGRAM PURPOSE:
Recommendation: Approve by minute order the expenditure of the Fifth Year 1999-00 Block Grant estimated allocation, and any additional allocation funding, for the removal of architectural barriers to the disabled. Background: The Los Angeles County Community Development Commission, which administers the Los Angeles County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, estimated the City's allocation to be $141,459 for the 1999-00 fiscal year. Analysis: Over the last four years the City has accepted CDBG annual
fund allocations for retrofitting the City's public facilities
(City Hall, Community Center, Police and Fire Departments) for
compliance with the federal American Disabilities Act (ADA).
The design for retrofitting the first phase of work has been
completed (i.e. the retrofitting of City Hall, Police and Fire
Departments) and a detailed estimate of the total cost for
phase one has been prepared which indicates an additional
$144,144 is required (total of $296,835) to complete this phase
of work. Design work and a detailed cost estimate will be
completed shortly for the next phases of the project and staff
expects the overall costs to exceed the total amount of
$551,626 currently allocated for ADA compliance, making it
necessary to include the 1999-00 fund allocation for project
completion.
This project is eligible for funding under the National Objective Citation 570.201(k) and 570.208(a)2(ii). The regulations provide that removal of architectural barriers is considered a benefit to low and moderate income persons, since studies show that, on a national basis, a majority of handicapped persons have low and moderate incomes who would benefit by improving a public facility. Therefore, the submittal of any evidence that the expenditure of funds was for low and moderate income is not necessary. However, submittal of evidence that the expenditure of funds was for the removal of architectural barriers will be required. 10% of the total allocation is available for program administration.
3. PROJECT SUMMARY This continuing project will include funds from the 1999-00 program year. The first phase of this project provides for elimination of architectural barriers at City Hall administrative offices, Police and fire Departments, to make the following accessible: restrooms, front doors, elevator, telephones, and drinking fountains. At the end of this phase, the same architectural barriers noted above will be eliminated in the City Council Chambers, foyer, and entry, and will also relocate existing hearing devices in the Council Chambers to be accessible to hard of hearing, elderly and handicapped persons. The second phase will remove the same architectural barriers noted in phase 1 (with the exception of hearing devices) at the Community Center. The third phase provides for the elimination of architectural barriers at public parks, Community Services building, including making the following accessible: picnic benches; play areas; parking lots; sidewalks; restrooms; drinking fountains; telephones; electrical receptacles; mirrors; the possible installation of listening devices. This phase will also identify any obstructions on public streets and sidewalks. CDBG funds will pay for staff salaries and benefits, consultants costs, and capital outlay costs involved with implementation of phases I, II, III. 4.
