Funding a plan to build more sidewalks in Lawrence has received a positive recommendation from a key city grant board.

Funding a tumultuous neighborhood association has not.

At their meeting Tuesday, Lawrence city commissioners will have the final say on how to allocate about $1.2 million in federal Community Development Block Grant and HOME funds.

Here’s a look at some of the recommendations made by the city’s Community Development Advisory Committee:

• $85,900 to build new sidewalks in low-to-moderate income areas of town. The work by the Public Works Department would focus on building sidewalks where gaps currently exist in the sidewalk network. The city has identified about a dozen sites where work could be performed, but it is uncertain whether all the projects will get built. The $85,900 in funding falls short of the $125,000 the department requested for the program.

Locations identified by public works officials are: 16th Street, north side Rhode Island to Barker; Winona Street, both sides from Barker west to existing sidewalk; Naismith Drive, east side from Campus Court to 23rd Street; Crescent Street, south side near Naismith Drive; 27th Street, north side from Arkansas to Naismith bridge; Ridge Court, west side from 25th to 27th streets; 26th Street, south side near Ridge Court; 19th Terrace north side between Naismith and Ousdahl; west side of 900 block of Arkansas; west side of 600 block of Michigan; wheelchair ramp at southeast corner of Ninth and Iowa.

• The committee is recommending that for the first time in decades the Oread Neighborhood Association receive no funding from the CDBG program. The Oread neighborhood, which is immediately north and east of the Kansas University campus, long has been part of a group of five low-to-moderate income neighborhoods that have received city funding for neighborhood associations.

But the city committee is recommending no funding for the Oread association in 2014. The change in direction comes after tensions in the neighborhood have risen in recent years. Several longtime residents of the Oread neighborhood created their own alternative neighborhood association, called the Oread Residents Association. That group was formed after several landlords won election to the board of the Oread Neighborhood Association.

Danelle Dresslar, community development manager for the city, noted that for about the last two years the Oread Neighborhood Association had left unclaimed about $8,500 in Community Development Block Grant money set aside for the group. The city has since reallocated that money. Dresslar said after not seeing the Oread Neighborhood Association follow through on past spending plans, the committee is recommending the funding not be offered this year.

Serena Hearn, the current president of the Oread Neighborhood Association, said she was disappointed to learn that the association isn’t being recommended for funding. She said the group now has plans to create programs to really improve the communication between landlords and tenants in Oread, which is predominately a rental neighborhood.

But state Sen. Marci Francisco, who has been a long-time board member of the Oread Neighborhood Association, said a funding denial from the city is probably warranted at this time. She noted the association hasn’t had a paid coordinator for at least two years and has cut back on it efforts to communicate with residents.

The other four neighborhood associations that traditionally have received CDBG funding are being recommending for funding again. They are Brook Creek, East Lawrence, North Lawrence and Pinckney.

• A little more than $100,000 in funding for six nonprofit agencies: Ballard Community Services, Douglas County AIDS Project; Housing and Credit Counseling; Lawrence Community Shelter; Success by Six and Willow Domestic Violence Center.

• Nearly $465,000 to fund a longtime city program that provides grants or low-cost loans to rehabilitate low-income housing, furnace repairs, weatherization projects, and other such efforts designed to help low-income residents stay in their homes.

• $14,726 for repairs to the Social Service League building near Ninth and Rhode Island streets.

• $32,397 for a program by Independence Inc. to make homes more handicapped accessible.

• $24,543 to help with some infrastructure costs for the new Cedarwood Senior Cottages housing project by Tenants to Homeowners.

• $200,304 for the Lawrence-Douglas County Housing Authority to provide rent assistance to individuals or families transitioning out of homelessness.

City commissioners will consider the funding recommendations at their 6:35 p.m. meeting on Tuesday at City Hall.
