MEMORANDUM
Date: May 27, 1983
To: City Council
From: Committee on Community Needs
Re: 1983 CDBG Jobs Bill Recommendations
The attached chart lists all the proposals received by CCN for use of $259,000
in CDBG Jobs Bill funds which the City will receive this summer. CCN's priority
ranking of each proposal is in the far right-hand column.
Criteria Used in Ranking_ Prowls
Each member of CCN gave the proposals a high, medium or low priority ranking
according to how well the proposal met the primary objectives of the Jobs Bill
and the CDBG program.
The basic objectives of the Jobs Bill CDBG Pro ram are to:
a. Provide productive employment for jobless Americans;
b• Hasten or initiate federal projects and construction; and
C. Provide humanitarian assistance to the indigent.
The national objectives of the CDBG Pro ram are to:
I. Benefit low- and moderate -income persons.
2. Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight.
3. Meet other community development needs having a particular urgency.
In addition, any activity funded with Jobs Bill money must be an eligible use of
CDBG funds. (A project which employs low-income persons but the results of
which do not meet one of the three objectives above, is ineligible.) CCN also
took into consideration the stated intent of the Jobs Bill to create jobs for
minorities, for women as well as men, and to consider the needs of the homeless.
RECOMMENDED PROJECTS
Information on project cost, benefit, duration and number of jobs created is
listed on the chart. A brief description of each project and specific
requirements added by CCN follows. (Letters of support for some projects are
attached.)
1. Fldanly
Minor home repairs, such as plumbing leaks, carpentry and electrical
repairs for low-income, elderly home owners, would be carried out under the
auspices of the Elderly Services Agency. Unemployed skilled and semi-
skilled persons will be hired on an hourly basis to do the repairs. Funds
will be used to pay for labor and materials.

2. Emergency Housing Project ($100,000)
Funds would be used for purchase and renovation of a residence to provide
short-term housing for transients, local persons with emergency housing
needs, and for people coming to Iowa City for medical treatment for
themselves and others. A non-profit corporation established by the
Ecumenical Consultation will own and operate the facility.
CCN Comments: Although $125,000 was requested for this project, CCN
members felt that some funding should come through other federal sources or
possibly from Johnson County.
The Committee also recommended that collaboration with the Historic
Preservation Commission be investigated. They suggested that some of the
objectives of the Historic Preservation Rehabilitation and Education
proposal (04) could be achieved in conjunction with this project.
3. Food Service Training: Expansion/Modernization. Goodwill
Industries ($31,5070
This project would expand and modernize the food service training
facilities at the Goodwill Center on First Avenue. The expanded capacity
would permit the training, employment and placement of 14 additional
handicapped persons annually (for a total of 28). Persons could be trained
on the type of modern equipment actually in use at food service operations.
CCN Comments: The Committee ascertained that any vocationally
disadT vantaged person could be referred and be eligible for the Goodwill
Food Service Training program.
4. Joint Mayor's Youth Employment Program and Independent Living "
CCN Comment: In discussing proposals 01, 02, #B5, 06, #C5 and #C6, CCN
members felt that these projects were trying to accomplish many of the same
objectives, namely to train and employ persons outside the regular labor
market (youths, the handicapped, persons unable to work an eight-hour day).
Jobs and projects would benefit low-income persons, eliminate slums and
blight or provide a public service, as well as train unskilled persons.
The Committee recommended that the coordinators of the Mayor's Youth
Employment Program, Independent Living and the Department of Social
Services prepare a joint proposal for carrying out these objectives on a
$30,000 budget. A brief description of this revised proposal is attached.
It is anticipated that a minimum of 25 low income persons would be employed
in this program for at least 10 hrs./week for 36 weeks, commencing
September 1, 1983. In addition, the projects undertaken will benefit low-
income persons and neighborhoods.

residents of the area would also be eligible to apply for a portion of the
$165,000 allocated to housing rehabilitation in the 1983 CDBG Metro
Entitlement budget.
General Comments
In discussing the various public works proposals, the Committee made it clear
that they considered many of these projects very worthwhile, but that they had
low priority specifically with regard to CDBG Jobs Bill funding. Members also
pointed out that $138,600 of 1983 CDBG monies have been allocated to the Rundell
Street Storm Sewer project, and that the City Council had previously agreed to
fund the rest of the project with G.O. bonds. CCN felt that construction
projects would employ and train fewer persons than the projects recommended for
funding.
CCN members will be available at the informal Council meeting on June 6, 1983 to
discuss these recommendations with Council members.
