and program income.

mission of the division.
SIGNIFICANT EXPENDITURES, STAFFING AND PROGRAM CHANGES:
Administration
Personal Services has net increase of $13,087 primarily due to the addition of 0.2 Management Analysts as part
of the 2009 City Manager’s staffing consolidation plan ($13,171).
Contractual Services has a net decrease of $16,893 primarily due to the elimination of funding for the 5-Year
Consolidated Plan which was completed in 2009.
Capital Outlay includes the replacement of two personal computers ($2,000).
Program Services
This budget reflects the addition of the Neighborhood Stabilization Grant, the CDBG-Recovery Grant, the Energy
Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant, and a second Lead Hazard Reduction Grant that were awarded in 2009.
Program Services has a net increase of $621,722. Neighborhood activities decrease by $17,552 primarily due to
a reduction in funding for the Neighborhood Leadership Teams ($12,000) and summer camp scholarships
($8,000). Housing activities increase by $520,274 primarily due to new funding for the Neighborhood
Stabilization Program ($361,062) and Energy Efficiency block grants ($81,920). The Neighborhood
Stabilization Program includes funding for the redistribution of 0.3 FTE Building Inspector to perform project
Neighborhood Services, State & Federal Grants
management ($24,000). This has no cost impact for the grant, but does provide cost savings for the Community
Development Department. CDBG Recovery and Reinvestment funding provides funds to stimulate the economy
through measures that modernize the Nation’s infrastructure, improve energy efficiency, and expand educational
opportunities and access to healthcare ($108,000).
Funding for the following Public Service activities is included in the budget: support for Neighborhood Activities
($8,000), Summer Camp Scholarships ($3,000) and Emergency Rent Assistance ($38,000). In addition, the
Community Development Authority recommends funding for the following Other Public Service activities: Boys
and Girl’s Club Lincoln After School Adventure Club ($3,000), HealthNet ($38,000), the Literacy Connection
($2,000), and the YWCA Women’s Economic Empowerment Program ($3,000). The cap for public service
activities is estimated to be $95,000 for 2010. Public service activities are subject to a program cap of 15% of the
current year’s allocation and the previous year’s program income.
