AGENDA TITLE: Set a Public Hearing for January 15, 2014, to Consider and Approve an
Amendment of the 2013/14 Action Plan to Accommodate the Reallocation of
CDBG Funds
MEETING DATE: December 18, 2013
PREPARED BY: Community Development Department Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Set a public hearing for January 15, 2014, to consider and approve
an amendment of the 2013/14 Action Plan to accommodate the
reallocation of unused CDBG funds.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: A public hearing is required as part of the federal requirements of
the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program.
On October 2, 2013, the Lodi City Council reallocated CDBG funds to the Grape Bowl Project to
accommodate the installation of an additional ramp for ADA accessibility. With that project delayed
indefinitely, the City intends on using those funds for a portion of the ADA Accessibility Improvements for
the City Hall Annex Project. In addition to the funds from the Grape Bowl Project, there are additional
CDBG funds available for reallocation from a project or service that has not been able to use them.
The reallocation of funding from those two projects to create a new CDBG project for 2013/14 requires
the amendment of the Annual Action Plan. The public review and comment period for the draft of the
Action Plan Amendment (Exhibit A) will begin December 16, 2013 and will end January 15, 2014.
FISCAL IMPACT: The amendment of the 2013/14 Action Plan document is being completed
as an administrative activity that is funded through the City's CDBG
administrative allocation from HUD.

needs in the City of Lodi, with a particular focus on the needs of low-income households. This is
the fifth year of the implementation of the five-year Consolidated Plan. Both the Consolidated

The 2013-14 Annual Action Plan was adopted:on May 1, 2013, based upon an estimated annual
allocation of $597,871 from the federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program.

Development (HUD), we received formal notification that our actual annual allocation amount
was $649,980. The additional $52,109 received for 2013-14 was allocated through the adoption
of Annual Action Plan Amendment #1 on October 2, 2013. Action Plan Amendment #1 also
accommodated the reallocation of $60,286 in CDBG funds that were available from the 2012-13
Program Year.
In Action Plan Amendment #1, the Lodi City Council reallocated CDBG funds to the Grape
Bowl Project to accommodate the installation of an additional ramp. for ADA accessibility. With
that project delayed indefinitely, the City intends on using those funds for a portion of the ADA
Accessibility Improvements for. the City Hall Annex Interior Remodel Project. In addition to the
funds from the Grape Bowl Project, there are additional CDBG fundsavailable for reallocation
from a project or service that has not been able to use them.
