Description
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to amend Neighborhood Economic Development Operation Patch & Paint (OPP) Ordinance S-44906 to provide additional Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds in the amount of $35,000 for the Miller Family Group, LLC dba Eastlake Mortuary project. Further request authorization for the City Controller to disburse funds.
Report
The OPP program provides CDBG funds for the exterior rehabilitation of neighborhood commercial businesses located in targeted areas. Eastlake Mortuary (formerly known as Webber Eastlake Mortuary) has served the community since the 1950's. On Aug. 29, 2018, City Council authorized the City Manager, or his designee, to enter into a loan agreement with Eastlake Mortuary for up to $100,000. The project includes improving the parking lot, providing new landscaping, replacing exterior light fixtures, and repainting exterior surfaces of the business.
During the pre-bid meeting, additional critical construction was identified. The lowest bid for the entire project was $118,000, which is $18,000 more than the original Council request. Additional CDBG funds are requested to be authorized in the amount of $35,000 to cover the bid amount and any unforeseen contingency costs. This will increase the Council-approved spending limit to $135,000 for this project.
