DATE OF MEMO: September 21, 2017
MEETING DATE: September 26, 2017
RE: Use of Social Sustainability Dashboard in 2018 Social Services Grantmaking
REQUEST OF COUNCIL:
Council members have expressed interest in using information from the Social Sustainability section of the
2017 Sustainability Report to help guide social services grant making. Staff will be presenting a proposal aimed
toward this end for the 2018 grant cycle, and is seeking Council feedback on the proposal.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Council previously called for development of environmental, economic, and social sustainability dashboards.
Staff developed sustainability outcomes and key performance measures with input from subject matter experts
and stakeholders. Subsequently, Council reviewed and approved the community-based outcome statements and
measures. Staff previously presented the Environmental Sustainability Dashboard measures to City Council on
December 3, 2013; the Economic Sustainability Dashboard measures to City Council on November 2, 2015;
and the Social Sustainability Dashboard measures to City Council on March 20, 2017. On July 17, 2017, staff
presented the report and recommendations derived from the data. Council subsequently selected two issues –
decarbonization (expressed as carbon footprint) and investments in APCHA modernization, for incorporation in
to Top Ten goals.
BACKGROUND:
Historically, in the absence of good data and a clear picture of what a successful social environment might look
like, Council has found it challenging to agree on specific priorities for social services funding. Before the
Social Sustainability section of the Sustainability Report was developed, staff informally discussed its potential
use in helping to identify funding priorities. The thinking was that such a dashboard, with its combination of
community-derived outcomes and specific measures of status, could provide a foundation that Council might
use to guide its funding discussion. As such, it would bring data-driven metrics and long-term results as
reference. Based on interest expressed at that time, staff is now returning with suggestions for potential use in
the 2018 grant cycle.
For reference, Exhibit A provides a list of the outcomes and the associated measures of success for Social
Sustainability.

DISCUSSION
In suggesting that the Social Sustainability dashboard be used to guide grant making, the intention is not that the
report be the sole criteria for selecting grants, but rather that it act as a “first filter”. Relevant “first filter”
questions that could be asked include:
1. Will the grant request reduce a gap identified through the key measures in the report?
2. Will the grant request support an existing action, a proposed action or a new recommendation critical to
moving those measures in the right direction?
3. Will the grant request otherwise contribute toward the achievement of the outcomes?
4. In comparison with other proposals, how effectively will a proposal do the above?
In thinking through those questions, several opportunities and issues appear particularly relevant to consider as
potential priorities for future social services grants:
1) Programs to address gaps in 3rd grade reading proficiency
o 25% of third graders were not deemed to be reading at grade level
2) Programs to prevent obesity and improve nutrition
o 46% and 47% of surveyed workers at major employers were deemed to be at risk
3) Programs to reduce suicide rates
o While not the most common cause of death, deaths from suicides in Pitkin County are 25%
higher than the state average
4) Early prevention programs to reduce harmful behaviors in teens
o Proposed by police, this could address multiple needs
5) Programs to address needs associated with homeless persons, in particular, those that investigate the
needs of homeless persons with disabilities (estimated at 52% in an area survey) and how those needs
might influence service delivery choices
Each of the above topics has traditionally been eligible for social services grants. Beyond these, other needs
might be considered for social service funding in future years, should Council determine to expand the types of
programs and activities eligible for use of the funds. Those include:
Education and Lifelong Learning:
Additional childcare capacity
Household Financial Security
Additional childcare subsidies
Outreach to enroll more eligible people in healthcare programs
Strategic planning for community subsidies
Actions to modernize and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of APCHA programs
Health and Well-being
Exploring the viability of a crisis stabilization or similar facility in the valley
Support of coordinated mental health services
Public Safety and Preparedness
Funding a Police position with a specialization in social services needs and connections
P3

Community Connectedness
Exploring needs associated with a growing population of residents for whom English is not the first
language
RECOMMENDATIONS: In 2018, that Council consider focusing initial grant priorities on the following
needs identified in the sustainability report:
1) Programs to address gaps in 3rd grade reading proficiency
2) Programs to prevent obesity and improve nutrition
3) Programs to reduce suicide rates
4) Early prevention programs to reduce harmful behaviors in teens
5) Programs to identify and consider the impact of disabled homeless persons on service delivery choices
FINANCIAL/BUDGET IMPACTS: No requests for additional social services funding are being made.
Recommendation are for focus of current funds.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: These recommendations focus on social sustainability. They are not
anticipated to have an effect on environmental impacts.
ALTERNATIVES: Council could elect to forego consideration of these priority areas, select different priority
areas or have no formal preference on where to focus social services grant funds.
PROPOSED MOTION: No motion is proposed; this is an informational presentation.

In 2015, the Hunter Creek prescribed burn treated 902 acres within the NoHARM area. Qualitative assessment of comprehensive emergency preparedness A qualitative assessment model of preparedness has been devised for the purposes of gauging performance on emergency preparedness.

THRU: Barry Crook, Assistant City Manager
DATE OF MEMO: September 22, 2017
MEETING DATE: September 26, 2017
RE: Update for City Council on Option to buy Truscott II
REQUEST OF COUNCIL: This is only to inform the City Council of actions taken by APCHA
to secure the community’s interest in the Truscott II rental project.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: In 2002 the City worked with APCHA and private equity
partners to build 87 units utilizing Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC).
BACKGROUND: Truscott II, LLP was formed in 2002 to use tax credit financing to construct
the 87 units. Private equity partners were a part of the Truscott II partnership and paid for the tax
credits that created part of the financing necessary to construct the project. HUD regulations
require that the partnership must remain in existence for at least 15 years. The fifteen years has
passed and APCHA, as the general partner, has the option to buy out the private equity interest.
DISCUSSION: Staff negotiated a price for the interest of the private equity based on market
and reflecting the deed restriction. After taking the outstanding debt into account the interest of
the private equity partners was determined to be $350,000.
The attached transfer agreement creates a put and a call that greatly incentivizes the transfer of
the interest for the $350,000 amount. The actual transfer will not take place until January. The
purpose of executing the transfer agreement now is to lock down the terms of the transfer to
avoid any last-minute negotiating. At the time of closing a less than 50% interest would be
assigned to the City and the balance would be assigned APCHA as the existing general partner.
This is to maintain the partnership organizational structure for when the City pursues a rehab of
the project.
The plan is to utilize the reserves that current exist within the Truscott II to pay for the
acquisition of the interest. If the partnership is re-syndicated, the reserves will be replenished.
P10

Page 2 of 2
Staff is in the preliminary stages of determining how it refurbish and repair Truscott II. There are
some serious issues that need to be addressed and with 87 units, the logistics of moving tenants
will be formidable. There is also an evaluation of additional units as part of the analysis although
providing for additional parking will be a problem.
FINANCIAL/BUDGET IMPACTS: The Truscott II enterprise fund will use $350,000 of its
reserves to buy out the private equity interest.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: No action required currently. At the time of closing the City
Council will need to act to accept a portion of the interest in the property.
ALTERNATIVES: None at this time.
