CDBG- funded projects for non - profit service providers: • The City provided $6,000 of CDBG funds for the replacement of the existing, broken swimming pool lift at the San Leandro Boys & Girls Club. The new portable lift is an ADA- compliant lifting system that significantly improves access to the Boys and Girls Club Swimming Pool for persons with disabilities. • Two (2) other CDBG Capital Improvement Projects that were awarded CIP loans in FY 2008 -2009 - facility improvements at the Building Futures with Women & Children (BFWC) domestic violence shelter and Spectrum Community Services (Spectrum) centralized kitchen - made progress during the fiscal year but have yet to fully expended their CDBG funds. BFWC hired its architect who completed designing the renovations for the domestic violence shelter. This past fiscal year, BFWC also obtained all necessary City building permits required for the rehabilitation. BFWC projects starting the contractor bid process and selecting a contractor in Summer 2012. With a 3 -month rehabilitation schedule, BFWC projects a December 2012 completion date. During this past fiscal year, Spectrum revised its original plan to purchase a CalTrans site for its centralized kitchen. Caltrans and Spectrum continued to experience delays in finalizing the purchase of the site. Furthermore, the State elimination of redevelopment halted Eden Housing's plans to contribute to the centralized kitchen project by building affordable rental housing units above the centralized kitchen. Spectrum and Eden Housing continued its collaboration, though, as they now are pursuing renovating and expanding the kitchen at Josephine Lum Lodge, an Eden Housing affordable senior housing property located in Hayward. Spectrum will select its architect and contractor in the upcoming 2012 -2013 fiscal year. Spectrum also continues to expend Alameda County CDBG funds before the City's CDBG funds for architectural and engineering activities. • The construction of tenant improvements (drywall, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and architectural finishes) at the child care center at Cornerstone at San Leandro Crossings, previously The Alameda at San Leandro Crossings project, still has not yet begun. As already explained above, the construction of the proposed affordable rental housing development, which has been redesigned to construct 200 units instead of the original 100 - unit plan, has not commenced. Other miscellaneous activities: • The City began repaying the $2.5 million Section 108 Loan that HUD provided for the construction of the City's new senior center in accordance with its 20 -year repayment schedule. The City made its required payments on August 2011 and February 2012 this past fiscal year using CDBG funds.
