APPROVAL OF AN AGREEMENT IN THE AMOUNT OF $120,000
WITH AVENIDAS FOR FUNDS ALLOCATED DURING FISCAL
YEAR 2002/03 UNDER THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve and authorize the City Manager or his
designee to execute the attached agreement in the amount of $120,000 with Avenidas for
the upgrading and modernization of the heating, ventilating, and air conditioning
¯ (HVAC) system at the Avenidas facility at 450 Bryant Street in Palo Alto.
BACKGROUND
~venidas is a community-based nonprofit agency providing a wide range of services for
senior citizens. The agency offers more than 50 services through its 10 major programs,
including caregiver support, senior home repairs, and social work services. Avenidas
leases its 450 Bryant Street building from the City of Palo Alto, which owns the building.
Avenidas applied for fiscal year 2002/03 CDBG funding to assist in the upgrade,
modernization, and repairs for the HVAC system. On May 13, 2002, the Palo Alto City
Council approved allocating $120,000 in fiscal year 2002/03 CDBG fiinds toward the
HVAC repair and upgrade project.
DISCUSSION
The HVAC upgrade and repair will minimize or prevent: water leaks, large fluctuations
in temperature throughout the building, frequent and costly valve replacements and
energy waste. When completed, the HVAC repairs and upgrades will improve the
environment for the program participants and staff and will also reduce energy and
maintenance costs for Avenidas.
CMR:28-1-:0~2 Page 1 of 2
RESOURCE IMPACT
The $120,000 cost of the agreement will be funded with federal CDBG funds provided
through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Repayment of
the loan will not be required unless the property is sold or the program terminated or
changed to a use prior to July 1, 2008 that has not been approved by the City.
POLICY IMPLICATIONS
The recommendation in this staff report does not represent any change to City policies.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
HUD environmental regulations for the CDBG program are contained in 24 CFR 58
"Environmental Review Procedures for Title I community Development Block Grant
Programs." The Avenidas HVAC project meets the conditions specified for categorical
exclusion not subject to statutes under 24 CFR Part 58.35.
