6-21-02 - This day's Council session - Motion - Ridley-Thomas Mover 2002 / Greuel - The proposed 94th and Broadway Child Care Center, also known as the South Central Child Care project and located in the Broadway / Manchester Recovery Redevelopment Project Area,is in need of additional funds. This proposed project will serve 120 children and is intended to replace another childcare facility in the area that had previously closed.
The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) is the lead agency on this project. Two million dollars have already been allocated for the development of this facility. The project went out to bid last fall. While Westport Construction was the lowest bid received, it was still higher than the funds allocated for construction.
In order to move this project forward and address a critical need of working parents in South Los Angeles, it is urgent and prudent for the City Council to act in an expeditious manner to identify the $700,000 needed to award the construction contract.
The project is vulnerable to rebidding as the time line for bid acceptance has expired and staff cannot request an extension until it is clear that all funding is available. Additionally, $1.1 million of existing funds from the Community Development Block Grant program. Therefore, it is important that the shortfall be addressed and construction be authorized immediately to ensure compliance with HUD expenditure guidelines.
All available funds should be explored, including Community Development Block Grant, Urban Development Action Grant, and Community Redevelopment Agency funds.
THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council instruct the General Manager, Community Development Department and the Community Redevelopment Agency, with the assistance of the City Administrative Officer and the Chief Legislative Analyst, to identify $700,000 needed to complete the 94th and Broadway Child Care Center.
FURTHER MOVE that the Community Development Department and the Community Redevelopment Agency report to the Housing and Community Development Committee with recommendations for funding within 30 days.

3-3-04 - This day's Council session - Motion - Parks Mover 2004 / Garcetti - The 94th and Broadway Childcare Center located in the Broadway / Manchester Redevelopment project area has received Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds totaling approximately $1.6 million. After many attempts to identify additional funds to complete the project financing, the agency has determined that the project does not have sufficient funds for construction. The LA Design Center located within the CRA Western / Slauson Redevelopment Project, LA Federal Empowerment Zone and Mid-Alameda Corridor Enterprise Zone is expanding. A balance of approximately $1,611,568 remains in various accounts for the Broadway Childcare Center and are available for reprogramming to assist the LA Design Center expansion project. In order to continue to meet the Economic Development goals of the City and the Eighth Council District the CDBG funds identified should be reprogrammed to the LA Design Center Project.
THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council subject to the approval of the Mayor instruct the General Manager, Community Development Department, to reprogram CDBG funds (approximately $1,611,568) for the 94th / Broadway Childcare Center and allocate to the LA Design Center Project.
FURTHER MOVE that General Manager of Community Development Department or designee be authorized to: (1) review the project relative to CDGB eligibility requirements; (2) amend the appropriate Consolidated Plan; (3) prepare Controller instructions and enabling language and to make the necessary technical adjustments and corrections that are consistent with this action, subject to the approval of the Office of the City Administrative Officer and; (4) instruct the Controller to implement the approved instructions.
