Amendment to the 2006 HOME contract with Promise Land CDC
Department: Housing & Economic Development Department
Caption: Approve an amendment to the 2006 HOME Program
Contract with Promise Land Community Development
Corporation (PLCDC). (Referred from October 3
Commission meeting)
Background: PLCDC was awarded $200,000 in 2006 HOME Program
funds to purchase seven homes for rehabilitation and resale
to HOME program eligible low and moderate-income
homebuyers. The contract wa sapproved by the Augusta
Commission on May 16, 2006. PLCDC requests that the
language in Paragraph B (1) of Article I of the contract be
amended. The proposed amendment to Article I Scope of
Services would enable PLCDC to be reimbursed for all
properties purchased after the date of the amendment, as long
as the environmental review and feasibility (to rehabilitate)
are completed prior to PLCDC requesting reimbursement
(see attachment). The current language in the contract
restricts reimbursement to those properties purchased after
the environmental review and feasibility review are
completed.
Analysis: The contract amendment would enable PLCDC to be
reimbursed for all properties purchased after the date of the
amendment, regardless of whether or not the environmental
and feasibility reviews are completed prior to purchase. The
project also helps increase the number of affordable single-
family residences available for purchase by low and
moderate-income households.
Financial Impact: This item involves the amendment of existing grant funds.
No new funds are required
Alternatives: None recommended
Recommendation: Approve, as proposed, an amendment to the 2006 HOME
Program Contract with Promise Land Community
Development Corporation.
Funds are
Available in the

Comments on Reprogramming of CDBG Funds
Department: Housing & Community Development Department
Caption: Accept staff recommendations on citizens' comments
concerning the August 1, 2006 reprogramming of funds.
Background:
On August 1, 2006, the Commission approved the
reprogramming of the following funds: FROM: • Code
Enforcement $137,665.93 • Utility Connection Project
$150,895.00 • Fair Housing $ 24,906.32 • Economic
Development Loan Fund $141,751.86 • Bethlehem
Neighborhood Revitalization $ 68,000.00 • Able Disabled,
Inc. $ 7,000.00 • Catholic Social Services $ 10,000.00
TOTAL $540,219.11 TO: •East Boundary Road and
Drainage Improvements $300,219.11 •ARC Recreation
Department (3 vans for Meals-on-Wheels Program) $
90,000.00 •ARC Recreation Department - For Acquisition of
property for Carrie Mays Park parking $100,000.00 •ARC
Recreation Department - For Acquisition of property for use
for Doughty Park parking $ 30,000.00 •ARC Recreation
Department - For improvements to Henry Brigham kitchen
(equipment) $ 20,000.00 TOTAL $540,219.11 In compliance
with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development regulatory requirements, and the City’s
Citizen’s Participation Policy, any amendments to the
Consolidated Plan constituting a “substantial change” must
be presented to the public for a 30-day comment period. A
“substantial change” is defined as a change that affects the
purpose, scope, location, beneficiaries, administrator of an
activity, or the transfer of $50,000 or more from any activity
identified in the Consolidated Plan. A notice to the public
was published in the Augusta Chronicle August 8, 2006 and
the Metro Courier, August 9, 2006. The deadline for public
comments was September 7, 2006. As a result of the public
notice publication, we received two (2) comments on the
reprogramming of funds from the Bethlehem project which
are outlined below: Comment #1: Beulah Grove Community
Resource Center, Inc. 1446 Lee Beard Way, Augusta,
Georgia Agency requests that the $68,000 remain for use for
projects in the Bethlehem area for the following projects: 1.
Lamar Medical Center Clinic, formerly 30901 Clinic – for
operational costs 2. Additional funds for the Resource Center
parking lot and installation of handicapped accessible doors.
Comment #2: New Bethlehem Community Center 1336
Conklin Avenue, Augusta, Georgia Agency requests that the
$68,000 remain in the Bethlehem area for playground
equipment for the New Bethlehem Community Center.
Background on Bethlehem Neighborhood Revitalization
Project: On July 5, 2005, the Commission approved
$125,000 for the development of mixed-income communities
in the Bethlehem neighborhood. Funds were targeted
specifically for housing development and pre-development
activities (surveys and studies, third-party consultant
contracts, land acquisition, housing construction). Since that
time, the project has been inactive due to the lack of a plan
for the project and limited funds to carry out the proposed
activities. Therefore, to facilitate the expenditure of CDBG
funds, staff recommended the reprogramming of $68,000
from the project leaving a balance of $57,000: Original
Project Budget $125,000 Reprogrammed 8/1/06 $ 68,000
Balance $ 57,000
Analysis: The purpose for reprogramming the funds on August 1, 2006
was to take funds from slow moving projects and distribute
to projects that could readily facilitate the expenditure of
CDBG funds by November 1, 2006. The listing of projects
that Staff recommended will achieve this goal.
Financial Impact: The $540,219.11 in CDBG funds are just being redistributed
to different projects. There is no increase nor decrease in
funds from HUD.
Alternatives: 1) Accept comments as information and allow the
reprogrammed funds to remain as approved. 2) Accept
comments as information and reprogram the balance of funds
($57,000) to: • New Bethlehem Community Center for
playground equipment
Recommendation: Accept comments as information and allow the
reprogrammed funds to remain as approved and reprogram
the balance of funds, $57,000 to New Bethlehem Community
Center.

Dear Ms. White:
As a spokesperson for the Bethlehem Community and President of the New
Bethlehem Community Center (NBCC) board I wish to appeal the transfer of
funds from use within the Bethlehem Community to other possible uses. The
public announcement in the Augusta Chronicle has identified the possibility
of $68,000 being transferred.
Bethlehem Community needs a social hub for its residents. The NBCC is
striving to become that hub. One element that will clearly identify NBCC as
"the place.to be" will be an outdoor activities center. In the Spring NBCC
began looking at the possibility of providing an activities center for the
Bethlehem Community. There is none in the area.
Some of the ideas for a outdoor activities center included:
. An improved playground for children
Covered and lighted basketball courts Picnic
. area
. Open space for soccer and similar activities
. Up-to-date pavilion
. Gardens
Drinking fountains
.
.
NBCC requests that the city-county authority defer the transfer of Bethlehem
Community funds in order to give NBCC an opportunity to explain its plans for
~
the area starting with playground equipment for small
~ children.
/
This children's playground, to be developed within 30 days, will be the first
phase of the master plan.
Please, before relocating these dollars away from a very needy Bethlehem
Community, letNBCCexplam how it proposes to use this money. We are
convinced that these funds can be. wisely spent to provide the Bethlehem
Community with a beautiful and useful outdoor activity center.
Sincerely,
IJtlt Q'~~'

Department: Housing & Community Development Department
Caption: Approve the reprogramming of $8,500.00 in FY 2004
HOPWA funds for a Drop-in Resource Center to be operated
by St. Stephens Ministry.
Background: St. Stephens Ministry has identified a need to assist low
income individuals and families who are infected and
affected by HIV/ AIDS. To address this need, St. Stephens
Ministry would like to increase their social service program
to include a Drop In Center. This will make it possible to
continue to provide information and referral services to the
community.
Analysis: Reprogramming of these funds will allow St. Stephens to
offer addditinal services to clients and help spend HOPWA
funds leftover from another project.
Financial Impact: This item involves the reprogramming of existing grant funds
that were not utilized by the Aiken Housing Authority. No
new funds are required.

Update on CDBG Expenditures
Department: Housing and Community Development
Caption: Update on CDBG Program Expenditures – Calendar Year
2006.
Background: HUD regulations require grantees to spend Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds in a timely
manner. Grantees are allowed to have a balance no greater
than 1.5 times their annual grant remaining in their line-of-
credit 60 days prior to the end of each program year. The
City of Augusta was in non-compliance with this standard in
both 2004 and 2005, and faced a possible reduction in its
2006 CDBG allocation from HUD. Augusta officials met
with HUD administrators on January 31, 2006 to discuss
reasons why the City might qualify for an exception to the
timeliness policy. Following the consultation, HUD granted
the City an exception to the timeliness policy and did not
reduce the 2006 CDBG award. However, HUD expects the
City to be in full compliance with the standard for timely
expenditure of CDBG funds by November 2, 2006 or the
City is almost certain to lose 100% of the grant funds
exceeding the 1.5 standard.
Analysis: Attached for your information is a table showing the status of
CDBG expenditures through September 29, 2006. The table
indicates that the City has spent $2,981,560, or 81% of the
estimated $3,671,474 in CDBG funds that needs to be spent
by November 2, 2006. Department staff will provide an
estimate of expected CDBG expenditures during the next
month at the October 9, 2006 Administratives Services
Committee meeting.
