Several components are involved to complete the renovation. One component is the repair and replacement of asphalt with brick along Broadway will enhance the historical character of the street. During the 9th year CDBG, $125,000 was allocated to begin this project. STREET PAVING -KEEL AVENUE 43.000 Street Cost E. 14th St. - June to Keel 35,090 W-1/2 Keel Ave. - E. 14th to E. 15th 7,910 This was a request during Community Development Block Grant and received a high priority from the Community Development Advisory Committee. This is the only block in the Thunderbird Addition that has residences and the street is unpaved. STREET PAVING - TEAK AVENUE 36,000 This is in the Posey Lakeside East Neighborhood (PLEA). This paving would help in the redevelopment of the area. Community Development Block Grant has relocated the residents of Spruce Avenue for the East 19th Street development. Urban Renewal has proposed two acquisitions on Teak for the upcoming year. STREET E NS UC ION- A ROA WAY 286,300 The sdgment of East Broadway between the entrance to Mackenzie Park and Quirt Avenue needs to be reconstructed. It was originally scheduled for seal coating this summer, but due to the severe winter weather it will need reconstruction. MACKEN IE PARK IMPROVEMENTS 100,000 Several projects included in the park area were discussed during the Community Development Block Grant process and with the Study of Mackenzie Area, other development projects are anticipated. Possible projects are the resurfacing of the roads, irrigation systems, reforestation of the area, parking lot development, etc. NEIGHBORHOODUS - PAVING 5,000 Because of budget overruns for the renovation of the Neighborhood House, several components of the project were eliminated. The asphalt parking lot was deleted and gravel was installed. This allocation would install the asphalt paving. STREET AVING - NITER AVENUE 264,000 This street is located in Chapel Hill and was requested during the Community Development Block Grant process. This street runs the entire length of the addition and links the.ldalou Highway and East 4th Street. This paving has been estimated on an incremental basis. Along Niter Avenue from Idalou Rd. to Colgate 42,680 Colgate to Bates 50,820 Bates to 2nd St. 90,640 2nd St. to 4th St. 79,660 71 0 FIRE STATION PAVING 64,000 The purpose of this project would be to pave parking lots, water discharge surfaces and work areas at Fire Stations 5, 10 and the New Station at North Ash and Municipal Drive. Paving will provide adequate parking facilities at all stations. In addition, at Municipal Hill Station, the work and training areas would be paved along with a paved water runoff area 450 yards in length along the front of the property to provide access and prevent erosion. Paving is to be of an asphalt type. The break -down of the areas are: Fire Station No. 5'(E. 10th & Zenith) 583 sq. yds. Fire Station No. 10 (E. 48th & Quirt) 1,063 sq. yds.

JUM 2r�31r9p83 D CITY OF LUBBOCK CITY SECRETARY MEMO TO: Jim Bertram, Assistant City Manager for Development Services FROM: Sandy Ogletree, Community Development Coordinator SUBJECT: Funding Request - Auxilio, Inca DATE: June 15, 1983 Today I received a revised request from the Auxilio Center. This request I is for funding -for.: the Center's operating expenses for four months. This request includes: SALARIES Director $ 2,400 Coordinator 2,000 Rent 00 4 Utilities 00 Telephone 400 TOTAL $ 5,800 This funding is for the period of September 1 to December 31, 1983. Gilbert stated that they are seeking state funding to begin on January 1, 1984. I called Bill Rotert, HUD Community Development Supervisor, and asked about funding this as a public service. Specifically, my question was if this project meets the criteria of being a new service or a quanti- fiable increase in service. He is checking with the HUD Central Office _., because he did not have a clear-cut answer_ y . Also, 1 asked=about"ftindl#§4h73,'fp.D ig « ,thZabs-XBjll-,Faads':Land-Ib _ recommended �krat`_the''Llty 'request wr�s:rt�n��proual:'-�frflni:�HUD'=pr;��or;3ro'.~ _ rncurring:.any�ex end itures.. If the Council chooses to fund the Auxilio Center or any other public service activity after the June 23rd hearing, I recommend that funding _ be contingent upon HUD approval. Jim Bertram, Assistant City Manager June 15, 1983 Page 2 If I can provide any additional information please call me. Sandy Og1 ree Community Development Coordinator SO:cr CITY OF LUBBOCK MEMO TO: Jim Bertram, Assistant City Manager for Development Services FROM: Sandy Ogletree, Community Development Coordinator SUBJECT: Funding of Public Services - 570.201 (e)(3) DATE: June 21, 1983 Last week I talked to Bill Rotert, HUD Area Office, about the funding of a public service. Specifically, one criteria for funding a public ;service is that the service be new or a quantifiable increase -in service. During a previous discussion concerning LOIC, Mr. Rotert had stated that LOIC would not qualify as a public service because it was not a new service or a quantifiable increase in service. This is the same question we have with funding the Auxilio Center. My question was, if the City has not been providing support for the program, and it is a new service for the City and the Community Develop- ment Block Grant, would this satisfy the public service criteria? The Area Representatives discussed this'and Marvel-Domke, HUD -Area Representative, ca 1 1 ed .and _said -that it does satisfy this cr i ter is .as .a" new public service. He still recommends requesting prior approval if we fund Auxilio with Job's Bill funds. He also recommends funding this activity with regular Community Development Block Grant funds rather than Jobs Bill funds. Whatever the decision this clears up the eligibility question on these type of projects as a public service.
