PURPOSE OF THE MEETING:
The City Council met in a Special Meeting to consider a request by Judy Young on
behalf of California Manor/Vintage Days Services to have the City of Atascadero apply
for federal assistance for their proposed Congregate Housing Services Program.
ACTION:
Henry Engen provided an overview of the grant application packet submitted by Judy
Young. He explained that Ms. Young was asking the City to be the lead applicant for
Community Development Block Grant funding to pay for dinners and enhanced care
for senior residents living at California Manor. He noted that in the future this project
would compete for CDBG monies as had been made available for the Masonic Temple
and the Carlton Hotel project this year. In addition, Mr. Engen reported that the City
had a potential financial liability of $65,225 plus other costs associated with the

preparation of financial audits and potential responsibilities for meeting 50% of any
unpaid fees.
The City Manager reported that while Ms. Young had indicated that California
Manor/Vintage Days Services would cover the applicant's costs, there had not been
adequate time to get a legal binding agreement to that end. He advised the Council
against making a financial commitment at this time because of the uncertainty of the
City's budget.
The Mayor and other members of Council mentioned that they had received calls from
citizens urging the Council not to approve the request. Mayor Bewley stated that the
City can not afford to meet the projected financial contributions relating to this grant
application.
The City Council unanimously agreed to take no action on the request.
