Harbert, Chairman Commissioner W. H. Webster, Pro-Tem Commissioner George E. Baxter Commissioner Dale K. Hall Commissioner Barbara J. Kirkmeyer - Excused Also present: Acting Clerk to the Board, Carol A. Harding County Attorney, Bruce Barker Director of Finance and Administration, Donald D. Warden The following business was transacted: I hereby certify that pursuant to a notice dated September 27, 1993, and duly published September 30, 1993, in the Windsor Beacon, a public hearing was conducted to consider approval of a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application to the State of Colorado, Department of Local Affairs, for the Alternative Homes for Youth Project. Don Warden, Director of Finance and Administration, made this a matter of record. He reviewed the details of said application for a 6,000 square-foot building and reminded the Board there is presently $75,000 reserved in the Capital Projects Fund for this project. In reviewing the project earlier this year, it was determined the construction of a new building would be more cost-effective than remodeling the old one. In this way, the facility can be customized to better suit the program needs, such as day treatment for youth as opposed to residential treatment. The new site will require a contribution from the County of $135,000; however, $75,000 to $80,000 is expected to be gained from the sale of the old facility, making the total contribution approximately $55,000. Mr. Warden stated Social Services has reviewed the application and is not only in favor of the project, but has guaranteed a minimum client FTE assignment to the facility. There was no public testimony offered concerning this matter. In response to questions from the Board, Mr. Warden explained the facility would be located in the Weld County Business Park, near the ambulance facility. The construction will be brick, to blend into the neighborhood. Commissioner Webster moved to approve said CDBG application and authorize the Chairman to sign. Seconded by Commissioner Baxter, the motion carried unanimously. This Certification was approved on the 13th day of October, 1993. f/�' //// APPROVED: ATTEST: ,� J ,,(„ C h BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS /C� ///!!!/// WELD COUNTY, COLORADO Weld Coppty Clerk to he Board L By: � .1 /� �j ,` �v� = Constance L.

Brief Description of Proposed Project (roowemser Nee): Attach a map showing the location of the project. The project is for the construction of a 6,000 square foot building to house Alternative Homes for Youth youth shelter. The facility provides court-ordered shelter for troubled youth. The facility is currently in a large old house in Greeley. Due to the nature of the shelter being provided, separate accommodations must be made for male and female residents. Currently, the female residents are housed in the basement of the facility. This current arrangement has proven difficult to provide the necessary supervision to the Court-placed youth who are housed at the facility. Moreover, the kitchen does not currently provide adequate space for the preparation of the meals which must be provided to the residents. The County, as well as Alternative Homes, has determined that there is a need for more diagnostic assessment of the youth which are placed at the facility. The new facility design will permit the managers of the youth shelter to provide family conflict assessment and short-term family crisis intervention. Plans call for the structure to provide for additional bedrooms and one day room, expansion of the kitchen, 7. Local Priority*: 1 P and compliance with ADA/504 requirements.

C. PROJECT JUSTIFICATION - NATIONAL OBJECTIVES AND BENEFIT TO LOW/MODERATE INCOME PERSONS 1. Complete the following table relating to "national objectives and benefit to low/moderate income persons". National Objectives Choose Persons That Activity Will Serve Directly One for Each Activity Descriptive Title of Proposed L/M Slum Urgent Total Number of Percent Project Activity Income Blight Need Number Low/Mod Low/Mod Benefit of Income Income Persons Persons Persons Youth Shelter/Youth Day Treatment X 530 530 100% *if a proposed project activity is being undertaken to address the'prevention or elimination of slums or blight,'rigorous requirements described In Appendix E of the'Program Guidelines"must be met ••If a proposed project activity is being undertaken to address an'urgent need'rather than to benefit low and moderate income families or to prevent or eliminate slums or blight, the applicant must attach a certification stating that the proposed activity is designed to meet other community development needs that have arisen during the preceding 12-month period and have a particular urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community,and that other financial resources are not available to meet such needs. 2. Describe how the estimates of low and moderate income persons were arrived at? Attach supporting documentation. (Whenever possible, census data should be used in "area-wide benefit" projects to document benefits to low/moderate income persons. Income surveys should only be used in rare circumstances and only with prior approval from the Department. If you are considering conducting an income survey, please contact Becky Picaso at (303) 866-2156 for information on the HUD-required methodology.) Data based upon Department of Social Services placement records. Records are confidential, but could be made available for audit. 3. If the proposed project includes a local selection process of beneficiaries(e.g., housing rehabilitation),what local procedures will be used to ensure that: a) benefits projected to be provided to low-and moderate-income persons will actually be realized by such persons? b) beneficiaries will be selected through an open and equitable process? and c) greatest needs are addressed? The youth shelter serves all youth in need via the Department of Social Services. All placements are Social Services or Court-ordered placements. Persons must be low to moderate income to qualify for placement. 931048 D. OTHER PROJECT INFORMATION 1. Why is the project needed? What are the specific goals of the project?
