or project.
SECTION 3. Prerequisites for Use of CDBG Funds.

complies with the following:

review procedures set forth in 24 CFR, part 58, for each activity as

revenues are different than the revenues estimated by the CDBG budget, the
following actions shall be taken:
(a) Public Service Proqrams:
Ordinance 5698
October 1,2002
Page 4
Ordinance 5698
October 1,2002
Page 5
In the event the City receives a lesser amount of funding
than its budgeted CDBG entitlement, each appropriation for
public services will receive a proportionately equal reduction in
its appropriation relative to the total decrease in total
revenues.
In the case of an increase in available funding, the final
award will be calculated based on the increase in funds
available subject to the CDBG 15% Public Services Cap. Of
that increase, 70% of the funds shall be awarded to Catholic
Community Services-Emergency Assistance, and 30% of the
funds shall be awarded to Community Health Centers of King
County.
(b) Capital-Funds Pro,qrams:
Appropriations for capital projects, including the Housing
Repair Program, shall be released only when actual revenues
are sufficient to fully fund the appropriation unless both the
recipient Agency and the City mutually agree to a partial
funding of the Agency's original appropriation. Partial funding
of an appropriation will release the City from further obligations
to fund that particular appropriation and, thereby, allow the
City to consider funding either all or part of another
appropriation.
In the event that the City receives more than its budgeted
CDBG entitlement, the non-budgeted portion of the
appropriation not available for public service activities will be
allocated, in order, as follows.

2.
3.
4.
Increase Auburn Housing Repair up to $150,000
Increase Children's Therapy Center to $50,000
Increase Parkview Homes to $40,000
Divide the remaining available funds 65% to Low
Income Housing Institute/JC Penney and 35% to the
Green River Community College Small Business
Assistance Center
Funds budgeted to capital projects which are reduced in cost,
thus returning funds to the CDBG program during the Program
Year, will be reallocated to the Housing Repair Program.

The Mayor is hereby authorized to implement such administrative
procedures as may be necessary to carry out the directives of this legislation.
SECTION 6. Severability.
