A comprehensive study will be undertaken of the participation of city departments (and other agencies) in federal aid programs in each of the last five fiscal years. Information will be secured on the amount of aid received, type or category of the grant (training, research, planning, etc.), formula which determines the amount of aid received, type of super- vision exercised by the federal authority, mode of the grant (advance, reimbursement, etc.), amount and type of overhead costs (supervisory, equipment, utilities, etc.), number of employees paid from funds received, etc. 2. INVENTORY AND ANALYSIS OF CURRENT AND FUTURE RECEIPTS OF FEDERAL AID BY THE CITY'. A comprehensive study will be undertaken of the estimated participation of city departments (and other agencies) in federal aid programs during the current, as well as the next fiscal year. Information on the same level of detail as described above will be obtained. Comment: Only after the city has equipped itself with suitable comprehensive knowledge of the status and effect of federal grants -in -aid can it establish a Zh?e basic policy with respect to such subsidies. Once city's leadership demands the information and digests it, a coordinated effort can be made to integrate the plans of the city with those by federal grants to achieve maximum qualitative federal spending for essential and city - designed programs. The ultimate goal would be to substitute in place of the present compulsive numerical expansion a policy based on the inward needs of the city developing to a viable and meaningful end. The effort,'if it is to be made, should be sustained, intense and complete. 3. FEDERAL FUNDS "PASSED UP" BY THE CITY. During the past five years the city has probably passed up, for various reasons, certain federal funds. An attempt will be made to identify some of these programs and reasons for failure to apply for and receive these funds. -1- 4. "STRINGS ATTACHED" TO FEDERAL GRANTS Federal grants -in -aid traditionally carry conditions prescribing the purpose for which the money is to be spent.. As federal aid spending expanded, the "strings attached" became more restrictive and complex so that necessary practical safeguards designed to attain the desired objective focused more and more on details, means - methodology - usually more rigid, doctrinaire and harder to apply. In order to qualify today, applicants for these grants must file plans, statistics, reports, submit to detailed and repeated audits and reviews, ad infinitum. In federal grants for highway, public housing, urban renewal, sewer and water facility construction, etc., federal regula- tions govern all phases of activity, including wages and hours of work. A summary and analysis of federal -state regulations in public welfare programs, for example, covers 250 pages. The letters, bulletins, and other material issued to interpret and reinterpret these regulations fill volumes. Authority for deciding whether these requirements have been met rests with the federal agency concerned. CSC will undertake to spell out some of the more important "strings attached" to individual grants -in -aid programs, by city operating departments, and present its findings in a concise, non - technical and itemized manner. 5. INVENTORY AND ANALYSIS OF OFFICIAL CITY PLANS. Cj Urban planning requirements, planning funds, planning agencies and the planning profession are on the upswing. Fifteen federal aid programs require official plans for the function being assisted. Others, such as the open space, urban renewal, community renewal, and public housing programs, call for comprehensive urban development plans as a prerequisite to receiving federal funds. Suddenly many cities have found themselves heavily involved in planning. No single city agency has a complete file of official city plans and no where are they received or is an attempt made to reconcile the irregularities that may exist among them (e.g., duplication of effort and internal inconsistencies in basic premises, such as population projections). A com- prehensive inventory and analysis will be made of all official city plans and planning activities. -2- 6. EXAMINATION OF CITY INTER - AGENCY LIAISON. Working relationships among different city agencies adminis- tering related programs are many and various. Informal relationships between agencies and departments, and between major component units within the larger agencies and departments, are the most common. Other city programs are carried out under formal inter- agency agreements. The various forms of inter - agency liaison will be analyzed in detail. 7. EXAMINATION OF INTER- GOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION IN THE URBAN AREA. Intergovernmental cooperation at the local level either by formal written contracts or by informal verbal agreements often provides a workable method of meeting particular problems within metropolitan areas when separate action by individual local units is uneconomical and when the consoli- dation or transfer of the function is not economically or politically feasible. These inter -local arrangements are of two major types - (1) the provision of governmental services on a contractual basis by one unit of government to one or more additional units, and (2) the joint conduct by two or more units of government of a particular function or the joint operation of a particular governmental facility. Area -wide coordination of projects carried out separately by more than one local public agency in the same urban area is encouraged in a number of federal aid programs. About one -third of the programs affecting the physical development of urban areas encourage broader jurisdictions or area wide coordination ti of projects by mention in policy statements, in definitions of eligible recipients, and in delegations of discretionary administrative authority. Some offer a positive incentive by increasing the percentage of the grant. The Urban Planning Assistance program, for example, carries provisions for an extra 10 percent federal contribution in this cape. a, CSC will undertake to explore fully the possibility of taking additional advantage of federal aid as a source of city ' revenue by entering into some form of area -wide coordination. ` 8. DEVELOP A FEDERAL AIDS LIBRARY. CSC, will develop a comprehensive Federal Aids Library for the city. All the..operating manuals, departmental letters, bulletins and other clarifying and interpretive material -3- issued by the federal agencies, together with the various directories, studies, plans, brochures, official and unofficial reports, etc. that are essential for the efficient and effective coordination of federal aid programs at the city level, will be obtained and systematically catalogued. Comment: CSC's own library can be used as a model for the city's Federal Aids Library. On the basis of its own experience, CSC views this as an essential step in keeping the city updated with respect to the latest development in federal aids. 9. ANALYSIS OF ANTICIPATED FEDERAL GRANT -IN -AID PROGRAMS BY CONGRESS. Congress currently has under consideration a number of new grant -in -aid programs plus legislation affecting urban areas (e.g., the Muskie Intergovernmental Relations Act). These programs will be detailed, along with their current status so that the city may be prepared to react by appropriations, staff, applications, etc. As part of this section, any major changes by legislation or administrative order in on -going programs will be detailed. 10. ESTABLISH A PERMANENT FEDERAL AIDS COORDINATING CENTER. CSC will assist the city in establishing a permanent Federal Aids Coordinating Center. The Center would function as a central clearing house for all information relating to the city's overall needs and commitments vis -a -vis its fiscal reso- urces, particularly federal grants -in -aid. It would be responsible for the following: (a) To continually keep appraised of the details of all the latest developments regarding federal aids; (b) To maintain a continual inventory of the partici- pation of city departments (and other agencies) in federal aid programs, and in particular plans for increased participation, etc.; (c) To continually collect, record and project community commitments and relate these in turn to existing and potential community resources, in particular federal grants -in -aid. (d) To continually indicate the combined fiscal poten- tial of existing revenue sources, pinpoint new sources of revenue and recommend the priority in Ste' which they should be considered in light of existing and projected needs; (e) To maintain a five -year projection of the community fiscal burden, in total, by major community service entity and on a functional basis. Comment: Such a Center could be of great value throughout the year to various official, semi- official, and private committees and study groups dealing with the city's fiscal affairs. The principle function of the federal Aids Coordinating Center would be to correlate and to view city agency operations related to federal aid projects as an integral part of overall city policy, not simply as piece meal or related to the operations of one or more city agencies. 11. ESTABLISH AN ENDURING FEDERAL AIDS COORDINATION PROGRAM. CSC will aid the city, if desired, in the step -by -step establishment and implementation of an enduring city coor- dination program respecting federal grants -in -aid. CSC recommends the following measures: A. Authorizing the Federal Aid Coordination Center to maintain close communication with the city council, the mayor's office, the city planning commission, and other city executive departments and administrative agencies on matters of city - state- federal relations. B. Directing departments (and other agencies) of this city to cooperate with the Center to provide it with information insofar as available, which it may request; C. Directing the Federal Aid Coordination Center to provide each member of the city council, and also the mayor, with a comprehensive report (brief as practicable) on city funds available for matching federal grants, either proposed or in being. The report should contain an analysis in outline of the purpose, history, need, motivation, and other pertinent evaluation of such programs. The current status and effectiveness of established federal aid projects should also be examined. D. A comprehensive report should be so provided by the Center prior to the annual budget hearings. Also -5- --= 4 -6- PRICE ' Consulting Services Corporation would deliver to the Mayor and all members of the Council a report covering all items in the work program listed on the preceeding pages. Work will be started on the contract not later than September 1, 1966, and will be completed not later than the last day -of December, 1966. The maximum price for the work program as listed above is $5,500. Individuals assigned to the contract and hourly rates are listed below.- If the contract can be performed for less than the ' maximum $5,500, we will bill on hourly rates listed below plus expenses. Any expenses and time over and above the $5,500 maximum will be the responsibility of Consulting Services. 4 ,F. Robert Edman $25.00 /hour Carey D. Winne 16.50 /hour Edward Howe 12.00 /hour Jerome D.

I n J a S within 10 days after the Council hears a proposal for any project to be financed by federal aid, a report to the Council and Mayor should be provided in substance and manner as above specified. E. The city council should, from time to time, delegate one or more of its members or the mayor to express the city's position in current questions pending before Congress or before any agency of the United States, as recommended by the center. 12. STAFFING THE FEDERAL AID COORDINATION CENTER. Permanent staffing of the city's Federal Aids Coordination Center will become vital in order to sustain the continity and sense of direction that is essential for an effective Federal Aids Coordination Program. CSC is prepared to assist the city in this regard in a number of ways: A. It will aid the city in establishing the qualifications of a person to serve as a Federal Aids Coordinator and provide him with necessary orientation if desired. B. Review advantages and disadvantages of coordination of the position of Federal Aid Coordinator with a possible simmlar position in Ramsey County. -6- 4 T :.� "`' ' ' ' .A 'PROPOSAr., FOR A STUDY OF THE IMPACT OF FEDERAL GRANTS, ; s - y.'` AND IbiPZ,EI�iENT NG M ONGOING PROGRAM FOR THEIR COORDINATZONO 'i IN THE CITY OF SAINT PAUL A' study of Saint Paul 's overall financial, problems, urao- - undertaken in January 1966 Lvhen Mayor Vavoul io* y1th the concurrence and approval of the City,Council, appointed a "Revenue Action Committee" J composed of some tvSenty -*foUr 61 tizens and eight consultants . , • Solutions were sought to the problem of an already large tax burden, r; tbcjethcr•tYith the rising cost Of meeting required city services.
