"reimbursement" for program administration. As a result, staff recommends retaining this funding for administration. If the Council has an interest in funding the program further, staff can provide additional information. Nevertheless, staff anticipates reviewing the program again during next year's funding cycle. Housing Commission Recommendation The HC reviewed housing-related applications at its meeting of March 15 and approved the staff recommendation to allocate the remaining $37,191 in FY 2007 CDBG funds for capital and rehabilitation projects to two agencies, and to allocate $86,181 from the City's Lower Income Housing Fund to three agencies to provide housing services. The HC also recommended reallocating $41,024 in unused CDBG funds from ValleyCare (FY 2002; $5,400) and GRID Alternatives (FY 2005; $35,524) to provide funding for the City's Housing Rehabilitation Program. ValleyCare was allocated funds to purchase new freezers for the senior home meal delivery program but never drew the funds down. Staff has learned that the project has already been completed without the City's CDBG funds. GRID's allocation was the second year of funding for the Solar Affordable Housing Program; however, the agency still has $28,000 remaining from the $40,000 that was allocated for the first year (FY 2004) and therefore funding is available to meet program needs. GRID is in agreement with the reallocation of these funds. It should also be noted that the City's funding commitment for both of these projects has technically expired (based on the terms of the City-agency contracts). The HC's recommendation is summarized in Table A. As indicated, staff concurs with the Commissions' recommendations as reflected in Attachment 1 that reflect a reasonable compromise to addressing program needs.
