SUBJECT
CDBG Property Acquisition -
2233 Fifth Street
~ack9round/Discussion
In January 1980, City Council allocated 5165,000 in Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) funds for the acquisition of a residential property to be converted
to a neighborhood center. A proposal was presented by FE (Fraternal Endeavors)
which included an outline of proposed programs and activities to be implemented
by that organization in the new center. Following delays caused by difficulty
in finding a suitable site, on May 19, 1981 City Council set a deadline of six
months for the identification of a site and the completion of the preliminary
acquisition process.
This process has now been co~pleted, in accordance with the Uniform Relocation
Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970. An appraisal of
the selected site (2233 Fifth Street) was performed, as well as a second, review
appraisal. City Council action is now required if it desires to proceed further
with the purchase of this property.
The final appraisal amount is $168,000 and the City under applicable law, is
required to offer at least that amount for the purchase of this property. The
COBG budget amount is $165,000, and therefore, an additional $3,000 from COBG
Contingency funds will be needed.
