MEETING DATE: January 21,2009 PREPARED B Y Community Development Department RECOMMENDED ACTION: Set the Public Hearing for February 4, 2009, to consider the Community Development Block Grant Program Consolidated Plan and Action Plan development process and to receive input regarding community needs and funding priorities. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In June 2008, the Council authorized staff to pursue becoming an entitlement community under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, beginning with the 2009110 fiscal year. By becoming an entitlement community, the City has the opportunity to receive a larger annual CDBG allocation, but must comply with additional administrative requirements. There are three documents that are required by HUD of any jurisdiction seeking to receive CDBG funds, collectively called the Consolidated Plan documents. The Consolidated Plan is a five-year plan for identifying and addressing community needs. The Plan contains an assessment that defines housing and community development needs for low-income persons and families, as well as a variety of special needs populations, including homeless, elderly, and disabled persons. The needs assessment is based on Census data, other available data sources, and input from community residents and service providers. The second component of the Consolidated Plan is a strategic plan, which lays out the City's method for expending CDBG funds over the five-year period and sets goals and priorities for each type of eligible activity. The Action Plan is the Consolidated Plan's annual implementing document. The Action Plan provides a detailed description of each activity proposed for the fiscal year. It also contains the City's budget and goals for the fiscal year. The Citizen Participation Plan provides the policies and procedures for ensuring public access to CDBG program documents, including noticing and publication requirements. The goal of the Citizen Participation Plan is to give all citizens adequate opportunity to provide comments on CDBG goals, activities, budgets, and reports. APPROVED: BI ' i , City Manager Set Public Hearing for CDBG — Consolidated Plan Process January 21,2009 Page 2 of 2 The adopted Consolidated Plan documents must be submitted to HUD no later than May 15, 2009 in order to receive funding beginning July 1, 2009. City staff are actively working on a drafl Consolidated Plan, and, as in past years, the City will offer an application process for nonprofit projects. Highlights of the planned schedule include the following: • February11 Public meeting on community needs; subrecipient application training • Feb. 13- March 13 Online survey available • March 11 Subrecipient application deadline • March 24 City Council shirtsleeve session to review applications • April1 Public hearing to review drafl Consolidated Plan documents April 6 - May 6 Public review period • May6 Public hearing to adopt Consolidated Plan documents Up to this point as part of the Urban County designation, this Consolidated Plan process has been handled by San Joaquin County. Through that process we simply provided information and feedback specific to our needs here in Lodi and the County, in tum, incorporated that information into the Plan for the entire Urban County. The point being that this is same process that has taken place in previous years, only now with City staff rather than the County.
