YEAR XVIII URBAN HENNEPIN COUNTY CDBG PROGRAH BUDGET
REVISION
ProDosed Action
staff recommends approval of the following motion: Request
Hennepin County to amend Year XVIII Urban Hennepin County
Community Development Block Grant budget to allocate $9,500
to the Greater Minneapolis Day Care Association (GMDC).
with this motion, staff will request Hennepin County to
amend Year XVII CDBG budget, allocating $9,500 to GMDC and
reducing the housing rehabilitation budget to $96,514.
overview
During the 1992 budget process, the City Council targeted a
portion of the Year XVIII COBG funds for the Greater
Minneapolis Day Care Association. However, in March when
the budget requests had to be submitted to Hennepin County
the GMDC had shown difficulty in spending prior years CDBG
allocations.' As a result, the budget for 1992 COBG funds
was established with Hennepin County and the entire
allocation ($106,014) was dedicated to housing
rehabilitation.
GMOC has now shown an ability to spend 1991 CDBG funds by
December 31, .1992 and has requested an allocation of 1992
funds to provide services to approximately 4 to 6 families
from January 1, 1993 to June 30, 1993. Currently there are
142 eligible Hopkins families on the waiting list.

Because of this demonstrated need and because the Council
originally budgeted Year XVIII CDBG funds for the GMOC,
staff is now recommending that the city request Hennepin
County to revise the Year XVIII COBG budget allocating
$9,500 to GMOC.

CDBG Budget Revision
Report #92-196
page 2
Analvsis of Issues
o What is the impact of the budget revision?
In order to allocate $9,500 to the Greater Minneapolis Day
Care Association, the budget must be revised and these funds
taken from the housing rehabilitation activity. This will
reduce the CDBG funds available for housing rehabilitation
from $106,014 to $96,514, and reduce the number of
rehabilitation projects undertaken with CDBG funds from
approximately eight to seven. .
Alternatives
o Request budget amendment as recommended by staff.
o Deny request from GMDC to amend 1992 CDBG budget.

Dear Hr. Kerrigan,
Thanks for your phone call Monday. I talked to
Jim Nicholieabout asking the Hopkins Council
for money to help more Hopkins families pay for
child care between now and January 1,1993. There
is enough left in your current account to help the
1 family now on your program. Jim felt it might
be wiser t6 concentrate on mOney for 1993.
Jim Nicholie suggested. thac perhaps the Hopkins
Council would spend $10,000. to carry potentially
4 to 6 Hopkins families from January 1,1993 to June
30, 1993. Then we would request $20,000. in
Community Development Block Grant year XIX funds for
July 1, 1993 to June 30,1994. That amount would take
care of the 4 to 6 families already being ~erved,plus
4 to 6 additional families. The current Hopkins
waiting list has 142 eligible Hopkins families. A
subsidy program that helped 8 families would then be
helping about 5% of the Hopkins families on the waiting
list. The state and county programs will serve ~
substantial number of Hopkins families. However,
present funding will not eliminate the waIting.
Thanks again for your concern about the subsidy
program.
Sincerely,
~~O_- 1i ~...~
