Attachment 4: FY 2018 CDBG Public Facility Funding Summary & Recommendations
Activity Recommended
Funding Description
Northeast Sewer
Trunkline PH1
$152,231*
(FY 2018
$2,500)
$1,497,306 in CDBG funds from FY 2017 and recaptured funds
generated from the sale of the Holleman property were allocated
for this project. The project is expected to be complete by the end
of October 2017. Remaining funds allocated in FY 2017 will be
carried-over and expended next year. Additional funds from the
FY 2018 budget are included for staff costs to ensure compliance
with federal requirements.
Georgie K. Fitch Park
Improvements
$166,655*
(FY 2018
$2,500)
$127,875 in CDBG funds from FY 2017 were allocated for this
project to design and construct a trail and bridge in Fitch Park to
provide increased connectivity and pedestrian access throughout
the park. Construction estimates came in higher than anticipated.
Funding budgeted but not needed for the 2016 Sidewalk project
were moved to make up the difference. This project is expected to
be complete during the first quarter of FY 2018. Remaining funds
allocated in FY 2017 will be carried-over and expended next year.
Additional funds from FY 2018 budget are included for staff costs
to ensure compliance with federal requirements.
Southwest Parkway
$430,862*
(FY 2018
$339,433)
$164,400 in CDBG funds from FY 2017 were allocated for this
project to design and construct sidewalks on the north side of
Southwest Parkway from FM 2154 to Welsh. Due to $91,429 in
funds remaining from the 2016 Sidewalk project, the scope of the
project was expanded to include sidewalks on the south side of
Southwest Parkway and improvements to the intersection at
Southwest Parkway and Welsh and Southwest Parkway and
FM2154. These will all meet an improvement identified in the ADA
Transition Plan and/or address a citizen request. Design is
expected to be complete before the end of FY 2017. The design
will include 4 phases. Bids will be awarded based on the funds
available. Remaining funds allocated in FY 2017 will be carried-
over and expended next year. The allocation for FY 2018 is
anticipated to be sufficient to complete all 4 phases but will be
dependent on bids.
Bus Shelters $57,010
This recommendation is to provide a bus shelter at a designated
bus stop on Holleman for the newly expanded and remodeled
Lincoln Center.
Total $806,758
