SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT FOR'CONSIDERATION OF CONTINUUM OF CARE PLAN (H-150-200-050) Deputy City Manager Starman provided an overview of the Report to City Council dated . . -. " '... --.., . June 30, 2000, inco~orated he~ei~ by reference. .Mr. Starm~ r,ec~ged that on J~I?-e 20,2900, the City Council considered a request to accept a CQntinuum of Care Plan (Plan) as a comprehensive strategy for moving ho~eless perS()llS toward self-sufficiency, an~ several questions and issues were raised by COllncil which required additional information before a decision could be ~ade. He s~id it is st~ffs opi,nion that the Plan ~s well written and consistent with previous polici,es, incll.l;ding tp,e hou~ing element of the Draft General Plan and the Consolidated Plan adopt.e~ rece~~ly by Council. Deputy City Manager Stam:t-an rela,teq th~t tq.e majority ofhom~less needs are met by several nonprofit and governmental agen,cies; however, the Plan addres~es the need for a more comprehensive and collaborative Gity/County stra,tegy ang promotys a coordip.~te.d delivery system to assi~t in meettng the tempOrary h~usiJ1g:need,~ and provide,s1lpportive services to the homeless and "at-risk" populations. Tpe Departme~t of H~using and Url?an Development (HUD) requires that local jurisdi~tions have an approved plan in place to update local priorities an4 trackalJd evaluat~ program performance before F ederal ~ome,less program funds c~,n be a~sessed. He noted that approval of the Plan does not represent a commitment of local funds for future projects. ' I Deputy City Manager Starm~I1 estimated the h9meless population in Reqding to be approximately 650. He explained that "special needs" populations refer typically to the elderly, disabled, persons with substance a44iction; ~r'persoris ~ith H~/ AIDS ~nd related diseases who are in need of supportive housing, and "at ris~" pOlmlfltiQns are those on the verge ofhomelessness w~o enc9unter b~rriers such as insufvcie1,1t income, substapce abus,e, lack of employable skills, social/e~9tional difficulties, lack ofr~lilible childcare, or lack Of transportation. Victims ofdome~tic violence or emancipated foster yo~th are examples of "at risk" persons. He said that tra.J;lsitional q.ousing is designed to address a wide range of barriers and provide housing and appropriate supportive s~rvicesfor homeless persons. He defined a group home as housing occupied by two or more single persons or families, consisting of common'sp~~e an~/or facilit~es for group'use by the occupant~ ofth~ unit and separate private space for each'person or family, and may include el4erly or disabled persons, while the foster yo~th program serve,s a wide array of iJ;ldividuals, including youth from dysfunctional families. ' Deputy City Manager St~an advised that acceptance ofthe Pla.n does not s~gnify the City will embark on new programs for social services, does not shift funds from residents to nonresidents, and does not commit the City to providing loca,! fuIlding for transitional housing for foster youth.' He stressed there is no direct fiscal impact associ~ted with acceptance of the Plan. I He conveyed that the application to HUD by Northern Valley Cat.hQlic Social Services (NVCSS) is a separate topic for discus::;ion. NVCSS is seeking Federal funds to develop a transitional housing facility for emancipated foster youth, for which it intends to seek 07/05/2000 137 I matching Home Investment Partnerships (HOME) funds via the City's Housing Rehabilitation Program. He said that contrary to information originally provided staff, HUD now indicates it may be possible for the County to access the City's share of Federal funds ifthe City decides not to participate in the Plan. While agreeing that foster youth have special housing needs, Deputy City Manager Starman stated that the transitional housing project has not gone beyond the conceptual basis, and more details are necessary because a large portion of the Plan is dedicated to the application. It is the recommendation of staff that City Council consider accepting the Plan, or refer the Plan back to the Steering Committee and staff so that it can be amended to reflect the concerns expressed by the City Council and resubmitted to HUD next year, if appropriate. Mayor Anderson expressed concern that a letter submitted by the Housing Division for the NVCSS/HUD application, dated April 26, 2000, is misleading in that it refers to the value of commitment by the City of Redding as $600,000. Deputy City Manager Starman explained that it was clearly stated that the City would not be committing to funding the proposed project by adoption ofthe Plan, and that staff does not have the authority to commit such a large sum. He further noted that approval of the application by HUD does not commit the City to funding the project. In response to Council Member Cibula, Deputy City Manager Starman stated the impetus for development of the Plan was the strong recommendation by HUD that the City have such a plan in place, the Shasta County Grand Jury Report which spoke to the need for better coordination between the City and the County, and the fact that the City may lose State funds for foster youth housing vouchers. I Kit Garrity, consultant to the HUD application on behalf of NVCSS, contended that the Housing Department gave a conditional commitment for HOME funds in the format required by HUD, and the application has no value without the commitment. Ms. Garrity cautioned that any conditions placed on the Plan regarding the foster youth transitional housing facility may not be appropriate for future years' applications. Ms. Garrity stated that the Plan and application are currently being considered together by HUD and cannot be amended at this time. She said that the project would either not go forward or alternate funds would need to be identified should the City choose not to participate in funding. Ms. Garrity indicated that the Plan would not be viable for the provision of other homeless services without the transitional housing project application. Deputy City Manager Starman observed that should Council approve only the Continuum of Care Plan, the funding application w~mld be made academic, but the document would still have value at local and regional levels. He added that many of the coordinated efforts outlined in the Plan can be accomplished with little 'or no additional financial resources. Council Member Cibula opined that the Housing Division's "letter" contains language which requires City approval of the project prior to commitment of funds. Laura Stapp, 1020 North Market Street, ofNVCSS, said that there is a tremendous need for foster children housing programs, and requested that Council consider approving the transitional housing project. I Pamela Hewlett, 1550 California Street, a former foster child, stated there is a desperate need for transitional housing for foster youth. She indicated that the community has a negative impression of foster children. Martha McCoy-Nagel, 15937 Melinda Way, related that the majority of foster children who will be affected by the Plan are residents of Shasta County. She said that the transitional housing project will provide a number of supportive services to assist foster children in becoming productive members of the community. 07/05/2000 138 J an Maurer Watkins, Executive Director ofNVCSS, requested that Council support the Plan and foster youth transitional housing project. She predicted that the facility would become self-sustaining, and assured that NVCSS would not return to the City for funding support. In response to Council Member Kight, she stated that the project must be located in a "target neighborhood" in order to be competitive for City funds. Although no discussions had taken place with residents of those neighborhoods, she said that NVCSS would not establish the housing facility where it was not wanted. Frances Jenkins, 2652 Sharon Street, declared that linking the Plan to a specific project has proved confusing. She opined that the $600,000 in HOME funds would be better served assisting families living in the community with housing needs. Mrs. Jenkins noted that the transitional housing project schedule indicates that a site will be chosen and preliminary work performed several months prior to notification of neighborhood residents. She commented that the project will serve the severely mentally ill and chronic substance abusers as well as foster children, and contended there are inconsistencies between the Plan and the application. I Melinda Brown, of People of Progress, stated that Council approval of the Plan would acknowledge acceptance of responsibility for transitional housing for foster youths in their formative years. She indicated that the project would not attract homeless persons to the area. Ms. Brown said that the project would be an asset to any neighborhood, and urged Council to adopt the Plan. In response to Council Member Kight, Ms. McCoy-Nagel advised that the transitional housing project can be limited to residents of Shasta County and excludes those from group homes. Diane Moty, ofNVCSS, affirmed that the housing facility will serve youths originating from Shasta County. She commented that teenagers are not enemies of the community. I Police Chief Blankenship stated that the Police Department supports teenagers without criminal histories. He noted there is a fine line between foster care and group homes, and suggested that the topic be studied further to determine who will be served by the housing facility. In response to Council Member Pohlmeyer, Deputy City Manager Starman stated that it is unknown whether the HOME funds would be better utilized in a different manner because the project has not gone beyond a conceptual basis. Council Member McGeorge, noting some definite community benefits in the Plan, related concerns that the application was submitted to HUD prior to Council approval, that HUD was led to believe there was a funding commitment by the City, and that the topic was not brought for discussion before the Housing Authority. Council Member Kight suggested that the County should take the lead on the issue of housing for foster children. Council Member Cibula termed the Plan as a holistic approach to homelessness and a coordination of government and nonprofit agencies to help those in need. He stated that support ofthe Plan does not indicate a commitment to the project. City Attorney Wingate advised that is not immediately apparent. I Council Member Pohlmeyer indicated support for the Plan separate from the transitional housing project, and expressed concern that HUD was misled as to the City's level of commitment. He communicated that the issue is one of resources and is not meant to convey a negative opinion of teenagers. 07/0512000 139 MOTION: Made by Council Member McGeorge, seconded by Council Member Kight, to not accept the Continuum of Care Plan at this time. Voting was as follows: I Ayes: Noes: Absent: Abstain: Council Members - Kight, McGeorge, Pohlmeyrr, and Anderson Council Members - Cibula Council Members - None Council Members - None Mayor Anderson stated that Council should have been more involved in conception of the Plan, and he questioned the necessity of the document in that it may duplicate efforts by the County, which he views as the lead agency on social issues. He indicated that, without community input, the Plan is not a community priority. Although Council Member Cibula favored receiving community input, he said that he recognized the professional expertise of the agencies who prepared the document. Council Member McGeorge acknowledged the merits of the Plan but stated he would like . to see representation from the County. City Manager Warren said that he is eager to discuss the issue with nonprofit agencies and Shasta County, and return the Plan to Council as a separate issue. I Council Member Kight said that he supports Continuum of Care, and that the apparent commitment on the City's behalf was unfair to all the parties involved. He agreed that Council should have been actively involved from the beginning, and that the community should come together and address the topic regionally. He also emphasized that Council does not view teenagers in a negative light. RESOLUTION - Approving Participation in Western Area Power Administration's Purchase Power and Wheeling Program for the Central Valley Project (E-120-900) Electric Utility Director Feider provided an overview of the Report to City Council dated June 23, 2000, regarding a proposal to enter into an agreement with the Western Area Power Administration (Western) for participation in the Central Valley Project (CVP) Purchase Power and Wheeling Program (PP&W). He related that over the last several years, Western's PP&W appropriations' request has been threatened with elimination from the federal budget, but that Redding, in conjunction with the member cities of the Northern California Power Agency (NCP A), has successfully worked with the California delegation and other sympathetic members of Congress to restore PP&W funding; however, due to the high uncertainty associated with future years' Congressional appropriations funding, CVP power customers have devised the following multi-tiered action plan to eliminate the need for federal PP&W appropriations: . Negotiate new contracts with Western to give CVP power customers the flexibility to advance PP&W funds, in effect creating an alternative financing mechanism that does not require Congressional appropriations; Work with Congress and the Clinton Administration to change the budgetary rules by recognizing that customers repay all PP&W funds to the federal government, thus deeming customer repayments as equal to the requested appropriations levels; and Absent these solutions, efforts would be made to work with Congress to appropriate the necessary funds for PP&W in future years. I . . Mr. Feider stated that CVP power customers have completed a draft contract with Western 07/05/2000 140 that would allow for customer-advanced funding of Western' s PP & W budget, which would effectively eliminate the need for federal appropriations to Western. The City's estimated share of costs for federal Fiscal Year 2001 is approximately $2.5 million. Mr. Feider said that the Clinton Administration, in its Fiscal Year 2001 budget request to Congress, proposed that budget authority recognize that customer repayment would be used to offset the initial appropriations; a $35.5 million appropriation for Western's PP&W Program in Fiscal Year 2001; and gradually decreasing all of the Power Marketing Administration's PP&W funding over the next four fiscal years, with total elimination of its ability to use power revenues to finance PP&W beginning in Fiscal Year 2005. Mr. Feider noted that the fate of this issue is in the hands of Congress, where other federal power customers will seek changes to the requests and anti-PMA forces will seek to kill funding and authority in Fiscal Year 2001. I It is the recommendation of the Electric Utility Director that a resolution be adopted which approves the City of Redding's participation in Western's PP&W Program at an estimated cost of $2.5 million and authorizes the Mayor to execute the contract when finalized by Western, and authorizes the Electric Utility Director to approve on an ongoing basis the City's annual advance funding participation level up to 50 percent of its annual power purchases from Western (approximately $5 million). Mr. Feider submitted that any greater annual participation amount would be brought back to Council for its review and consideration. In response to Council Member McGeorge, Mr. Feider advised that the agreement will have no effect on rate payers. MOTION: Made by Council Member McGeorge, seconded by Council Member Cibula, that Resolution No. 2000-119 be adopted, a Resolution of the City Council ofthe City of Redding approving entering into Advancement of Funds contract No. 00-SNR-00241 for Central Valley Project Purchase Power and Wheeling among the United States Department of Energy Western Area Power Administration, and certain Central Valley Project firm electric service contractors.
