Fiscal Note
The City of Madison's 2012 Adopted Operating Budget (11/15/2011, Legistar ID #23675) provides aggregate funding of $17,571,906 for grants, loans, and purchase of services contracts to be administered by the Community Development Division. Of this amount, $5,708,816 is funded with City levy dollars; the remainder of the funding is from Federal and State sources.
For programming administered by the Division's Office of Community Services (OCS), the 2012 adopted budget provides total funding for community resources contracts of $4,789,421, which includes continued funding for the second year of two-year OCS contract commitments.
For projects and programming administered by the Division's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Office, the 2012 adopted budget provides total funding for grants, loans, and community agency contracts of $12,782,485, which includes continued funding for the second year of two-year CDBG contract commitments and for ARRA ("Stimulus") & other ongoing CDBG contract commitments previously approved by Council, as well as new funding for projects yet to be determined and to be approved via separate Resolutions.
The two-year contracts were recommended for funding by the Community Services and CDBG Committees, as part of their 2010 joint funding process for 2011-2012, with the second year of contract funding (2012) contingent on there being no budget cuts in these areas from their 2011 levels. The attached slate of services and programs is a comprehensive list of the Committees' specific contract funding recommendations for 2012.
