BACKGROUND INFORMATION: A public hearing is required as part of the federal requirements of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. In May 2009, the Council approved the 2009-14 CDBG Consolidated Plan, a five-year plan for identifying and addressing community needs. The Consolidated 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 and provides a detailed description of each activity proposed for the fiscal year, as well as the City's CDBG budget and goals for the fiscal year. Funding Allocation The City is expecting to receive an estimated $577,081 in CDBG funds for 2013/14. This is an 8.2 percent reduction from 2012/13 and is based upon the federal sequestration cuts that are pending. The City Council has a policy of allocating 40 percent of the annual CDBG award (net of administrative costs) to community-based organizations (CBOs), with the remainder going to City projects. There is a 15 percent Public Service Cap on the overall allocation for 2012/13. The distribution of funds will be as follows: City projects $277,000 CBO projects $184,665 Administration $115,416 (20% of the 2013/14 Annual allocation) TOTAL $577,081 15% Service Cap $86,562 APPROVED: radt Bartlam, City Manager Set Public Hearing for 2013/14 CDBG Action Plan March 6, 2013 Page 2 of 2 Next Steps Upon completion of the initial public hearing, the Draft Action Plan will be available for public review and comment and will be brought back for final approval on May 1, 2013.
