CDBG Funds To Los Osos Wastewater Project

Tuesday, November 10, off the Board of Supe's agenda:

Hearings
6. Hearing to consider a resolution approving and authorizing submittal of proposed amendments to the Urban County of San Luis Obispo Program Year 2010, 2011, 2013 and 2014 Action Plans for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds as requested: 1) by the City of Arroyo Grande to create a new project, and 2) by the County of San Luis Obispo to eliminate a project while reallocating funds to an existing project. All Districts. 
Here is a link to the documents:

Why is this important to Los Osos? Los Osos was not supposed to get any of these funds! The money was supposed to go to an organization called Central Coast Seniors in Oceano. It was to have been spent to rehabilitate their asphalt parking lot. However, to do that with this money, they would have had to pay prevailing wage to the workers and be subjected to the level of regulatory oversight required by CDBG  program, thus making the project impossible for the amount of money of the awarded funds.

So:
WHEREAS, the County of San Luis Obispo Department of Planning and Building request the amendment of the 2014 Action Plan to reallocate $15,000 from the “Street and Parking Improvements Projects” by the Central Coast Senior Center to the “Los Osos Wastewater Connections Project” by the County of San Luis Obispo Department of Public Works; 

The Supes are responding to the need for getting more money to those in need in Los Osos; this money could have gone elsewhere. Thanks Supes!
