Re: Emergency Jobs and Recession Relief Bill : Saint Paul ' s Community
Development Block Grant Program
Dear Council President Tedesco and Members :
As you are aware, on March 24, 1983, the Congress passed the 1983 Emergency
Jobs and Recession Relief Bill : This legislation, commonly referred to as
the "Jobs Bill" , provided $4.6 billion in additional FY '83 funding to 21
major federal programs. The largest allocation, $1 billion, was appropriated
to the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program.
Through the CDBG entitlement funding formuia, Saint Paul will be receiving
an additional $2.296 million in CDBG funds. In order to secure these funds,
the City must submit a formal application to the HUD Area Office no later
than July 1, 1983.
A public hearing on the proposed use of these funds was held on May 31 , 1983.
Approximately 16 requests from neighborhood and community organizations were
received, all with an emphasis on job creation and/or economic stimulus.
Based upon my review of these requests, I am convinced that a combination of
public improvements/construction and job creation projects will best address
the needs of the entire City.
Attached, for your review, is a "Statement of Community Development Objectives
and Projected Use of Funds" for expenditure of the CDBG "Jobs Bill" funds.
At its June meeting, the Capital Improvement Budget Committee approved my
recommendations. A brief summary of each item contained in the "Statement"
is listed below:
PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS/CONSTRUCTION
Infrastructure for Troutbrook and Garfield School Sit� - $450,000 -- Both of
these tracts of land are currently vacant and have the potential of becoming
much needed new housing. By making these sites buildable, the City can
��
. - z -
� � .� . 2���.���`�
stimulate many facets of the construction and housing industry and ensure
new housing opportunities.
Local Match for Urban Parks Application - $96,600 -- The City has applied for
a grant to rehabilitate Jimmy Lee Recreation Center under the federal Urban
Parks and Recreation Recovery Act. Should the City receive this grant, a
match equal to 20% of the project is required by the federal government. CDBG
funds can be considered local funds under the UPARR and CDBG guidelines.
Increase in 1984 Residential Street Paving Program - �375,000 -- With
approximately 67q of the City' s residential streets still remaining unpaved,
I am recommending an increase in the level of CDBG funds allocated to the
I984 RSPP.
JOBS CREATION
Incubator Small Business Program - $662,000 -- This project is the first
major thrust of the Homegrown Economy Program currently being developed by
the Mayor' s Office. The project will assist small businesses by providing
a wide variety of services to fledgling companies. A building would be
purchased to house a number of businesses. Shared space and low-cost rent
would be combined with assistance from the City' s Business Revitalization
Division. As the companies become established and relocate, new firms would
be provided the same opportunity. Programs of this type have been successful
in several large metropolitan cities. The assistance to new businesses will
help to ensure their success, and thus provide many additional permanent jobs.
Jobs Creation Fund - $462,400 -- At the City' s public hearing on the Jobs Bill
held May 31 , 1983, the City received a number of proposals from the community-
based organizations which would either provide or assist persons in obtaining
meaningful employment. I am proposing the creation of a fund from which these
organizations may receive assistance in their employment creation activities.
As I have stated earlier, The City Council must act by June 28, 1983 to secure
the CDBG Jobs Bill funds. I believe my recommendations will have a positive
impact on a large sector of Saint Paul 's economy. Your conscientious review
and approval is appreciated. Any questions regarding the CDBG Jobs Bill
funds should be addressed to William Q. Patton, Deputy Director of Community
Development, at 292-1577.

STl�TEMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT JOBS BILL OBJECTIVES
Since its inception in 1974, the City of Saint Pau1 's Corr�nunity Development
Block Grant (CDBG) Program has been based largely on the goals and objectives
of the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan and the Capital Allocation Policy.
These documents provide the policy direction �for all community development
activities, and are used throughout the City's community development planning
and capital budgeting processes. The Comprehensive Plan identifies the
City's key objectives for the 1980's, and the Capital Allocation Policy ensures
that capital resources are allocated to those acti.vities deemed essential to
the long term health and vitality of Saint� Paul . The development of both
documents involved extensive citizen participation, and residents are active
in both the revision of policies and allocation of CDBG resources.
Both the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan and Capital �111ocation Policy: 1984-1985
strongly support the objectives of the federal Housing and Community Development
Act, i .e. , to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing and
a suitable living environmen�, and expanding economic opportunities, principally
for persons of lour and muder3te inc:,me. Saint Paul 's CDBG Prograr� also gives
maximum feasible priority to activities 4JFi1Ch will benefit low and moderate
income families, or aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight.
The SdirL Paul Comprehensive Plan: Objectives for the 1980's
The Compr°hensive Plan i$ Saint Paul 's official planning document. It helps to
provid� a vision of the City's future �iutential , while guidino its response to
current issues and opportunities. The Comprehensive Pian recoyniz�s that Saint
Paul is faced �vith many community develop�e.lt needs which surpass its limited
aniount of resources. Secause the City may not have the resources needed to
. accomplish all of its objectives, attention must be directed to those activities
of the most critical nature. The Comprehensive Plan and the city's CDBG
objectives focus on objectives essential to the future we11-being of the City.
The key objectives v��hich affiect the CDBG program are:
1 . Nousin : To maintain and upgrade the City's existing sound housing stock
while seeking to improve deficient housing and generating con-
struction of new, affordable housing choices in character with
the neighborhoods surrounding them.
2. Ener _: To achieve greater energy efficiency by maintaining and retro-
fitting existing structures, v�hile encouraging energy conservation
and innovation in construction.
3. Infrastructure: To maintain City investments, particularly sewer and water
lines, streets, bridges, public buildings, and existing parks,
through repair and/or replacement as needed.
The Comprehensive Plan expands these objectives into issue or area-specific ,
policies and recommendations, many of which pertain directly to community
development activities.
Prior to the appropriation of CDBG funds, all community development programs
and projects are reviewed for consistency with the ado�ted policies of the
Comprehensive Plan.
� , � _ 2 — �!c.`�����`�
The Capital Allocation Policy: 1984-1985
The Capital Allocation Policy was specifically designed to guide Saint Paul 's
Unified Capital Improvement Budgeting process and the expenditure of CDBG funds.
It sets the general direction for capital expenditures over a multi-year pe�riod.
The policies are used to allocate capital resources according to Ci�y goals
and objectives, and to determine the relative priority of proposed capital
projects.
The major goals of the Policy are closely related to the Comprehensive Plan, and
form the basis for Saint Paul 's capital expenditures and community developmen�
activities: �
1 . To strengthen the City's neighborhoods in order to make them better places
to 1ive.
2. To consider enerqy use in all the City's activities and to increase energy
efficiency whenever possible.
3. To ensure the structural integrity of the City's physical facilities in
order to maintain b�sic. levels of serv�ce and prevent potent�al health and
safety hazards.
41ith the passage of the Jobs Bill , the City of St. Paul has a unique opportunity
to utilize additiona1 block grant funds for the purpose of alieviating the
effec�� of the recession. The goals of the City's Capital Allocation Policy are,
there����, supplemented by a number of objectives to be accomplished by the CDBG
Jobs Bill funds. The objectives are:
a) to create additional construction jobs through the installation of
public improvements designed to promote both new housing construction
and rehabilitation in the City's low and moderate income areas.
b) to provide a jobs stimulus to the business community through the
creatiun cf a small hu�iaess i.icubator progra�n.
c) to assist neighborhood and community.based public services agencies
through the provision of block grant funds for both emp1ayment and
emaloyment related services.
The 1984-1985 Capital Allocation Policy is divided into four sections:
-Strategy;
-Implementation and Development;
-Project; and
-Budget Policies.
Each policy section provides a different level of direction for the capital
improvenent budgeting process. The two sections which pertain most directly
to the allocation of CDBG funds are described below. In combination, the four
policy sections represent Saint Paul 's priorities for the use of its block
grant and other capital resources.
. • ` � ?C�t..����`� l
l . Strategy Policies - The Strategy Policies set general direction for
ain au s community development activities r�ithin the framework of
goals and principles. They establish the relative proportion of funds
that should address each of four areas: City-wide service system
improvements, neighborhood-related improvements, economic development-
related improvements, and support system imporvements. In addition, the
annual proportion of funds allocated to any one area of the City is
monitored over time to avoid excessive geographic concentration of
improvements and to assure that community development needs in all areas
are addressed. Lastly, the policies identify priorities for basic
service systems, economic development, neighborhood betterment, energy
efficiency, and housing improvements.
2. Implementation and Dev2lopment Policies - These policies identify criteria
�vhich are important considerations in selecting capital improvements.
They are used by participants in the capital improvement budgeting process
during the review of project and program proposals. Most of the policies
are stated in terms of "priorities" or "cvnsiderations" reflecting their
use as evaluation criteria.
All community development programs and projects are reviewed for consistency
with the adopted policies of the Capital Allocation Po7icy prior to the
appro�riation of CBBG funds.
Copies of both the Saint Paul Comprehensive P1an and Capital Allocation
Policy are available for inspection during normal business hours. Information
concerning either document �s available by contacting:
