ITEM:

Discussion and Possible Action on any and all matters regarding Resolution No. 2328. A resolution of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Luis, Arizona, Yuma County, committing local funds as leverage for FFY 2023-2024 Community Development Block Grant State Special Project (CDBG-SSP) application.  (Armando Esparza, Director of Economic Development & Government Affairs)

SUMMARY:

The Arizona Department of Housing Federal Fiscal Year ("FFY:") 2023 - FFY 2024 Community Development Block Grant State Special Project Account (CDBG- SSP) notice of funding availability provides an opportunity to request a maximum of $750,000.00 for an eligible project. In order to complete the scope of work in the engineer cost estimate for Merrill Avenue Improvements Phase II, the City application would need to provide a local leverage commitment of $371,707.00 to complete the project.

Staff reviewed the funding commitment, and it was included for consideration in the FY 2024-2025 City Budget.

The Merrill Avenue Phase II project consists of the following tasks: 
  • Repaving Merrill Avenue with a 48-foot wide road, which will have one center turn lane, a 20-foot lane in each direction, and a 6-foot bike lane.
  • Replacing curbs, sidewalks, sidewalk ramps, and cross gutters on the west side of Merrill Avenue.
  • Adding new curbs, gutters, and a 5-foot sidewalk on the east side from Nancy Street to County 22nd Street.
  • Repairing existing sewer manholes.
  • Installing a storm drain pipe from the retention basin to Nancy Street.

RECOMMENDATION / SUGGESTED MOTION:

I MOVE TO APPROVE AND ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 2328, COMMITTING CITY FUNDS FOR THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT APPLICATION AS PRESENTED.
