MEETING DATE: March 17,2010 PREPARED BY: Community Development Department RECOMMENDED ACTION: Conduct a public hearing to approve the Draft 2010/11 Action Plan and the reallocation of available funding for the Community Development Block Grant Program. 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 It is anticipated that the City will receive $751,211 in CDBG funds from the federal governmentfor the coming fiscal year, an amount equal to what was received in 2009/10. In addition to the 2010/11 allocation from HUD, there may be up to $10,000 in Public Service activity funding remaining at the end of the fiscal year from one or more of the following public service providers: • Project 09-04 Fair Housing • Project 09-05 Graffiti Abatement • Project 09-06 Spay/Neuter Program • Project 09-08 Second Harvest Food Bank APPROVED: Blair King anager Conduct Public Hearingfor 2010/11 CDBG Action Plan March 17,2010 Page 2 of 4 Any unused Public Service funds must be reallocated to a project in the coming year. As we will not know the exact amount until the end of the fiscal year, part of Council's action at this time will be to designate a 2010 projectto receive any balance of unused public service funds. Funding and Application Process The remaining process for allocating the 2010/11 CDBG funding is as follows: March 17,2010 Public Hearing to review draft Action Plan documents. • April 5 — May 5,2010 Public review period. • May 5, 2010 Public Hearing to adopt Final Action Plan documents. • May 15,2010 Action Plan due to HUD. At the completion of an application period that ran from January 13, 2010 to February 10,2010, the City received a total of 12 applications from community-based organizations (CBO's) requesting a total of $419,522. Our review of the applications centered on the rating criteria that focuses on the following areas: • Activity Needand Justification. Activities were evaluated on their abilityto address a significant community need and their benefit to very low-income persons. • Readiness to Proceed. Programs and projects were evaluated based on their feasibility of implementation, overall and within the allotted time frame. • Cost Reasonableness and Effectiveness. Budgets were reviewed to determine completeness and reasonableness of all costs related to the request for CDBG funding. Organizations applying for service funding were also evaluated on their ability to become self-sustaining. • Activity Management and Implementation. Applicants were evaluated on experience, administrative capacity, and financial management. • Past Performance. Applicants previously receiving CDBG funds from the City will be evaluated on their reporting and timely expenditure of funds. • Matching Contributions. Consideration was given to the amount of non-CDBG/HOME funds committed to the project. In 2007, the City Council adopted a CDBG allocation policy that predetermines a set-aside of 60 percent of the CDBG adjusted annual allocation for City projects and services, and 40 percentfor CBO projects and services. The distribution of CDBG funding in accordance with that policy is indicated in the following Table. 2010111 CDBG Allocation $751,211 20% Pro ram Admin $(150,242) Adjusted Balance Available for Distribution $600,969 60% Set-aside for City Projects& Services $360,581 40% Set-aside for CBO Projects& Services $240,388 Conduct Public Hearing for 2010/11 CDBG Action Plan March 17,2010 Page 3 of 4 HUD Regulations also place a 15 percent cap on the amount of funding that can be allocated to Public Service activities, whether that be by the City or by a CBO. We have a total of $307,086 requested in Public Services and a Service Cap of $112,682 for 2010/11. CDBG Funding Recommendations For planning and administrative activities, an allocation of $150,242 (20 percent of the CDBG 2010/11 allocation) is recommended to cover the costs of managing the CDBG Program. Remaining funding recommendations are grouped into the following categories: City projects, City service programs, community-based organization (CBO) projects, and CBO service programs. Funding recommendations for these four categories are listed below, with additional detail on applicants and recommendations in Exhibit A (Summary/Ranking of 2010/11 Applications Received), Exhibit B (Internal Applications Received), and Exhibit (City Manager's Recommendations for Funding). It should be noted that due to the Service Cap, the majority of the CBO requests for public service funding cannot be funded. As there were not sufficient funding requests to cover the CBO set-aside, it is recommended that those funds be used for City projects.

It was received by the City Council and City Manager. Randi Johl, City Clerk From: Phillip Pennino [mailto:ppennino@sbcglobal.net] Sent: Tuesday, March 16, 2010 10:50 PM To: Phil Katzakian Cc: 'Pam Kludt; 'Dan Williams; Blair King; Rad Bartlam; Randi Johl Subject: Funding for the Community Development Block Grant Mayor Phil (That sounds great) Page 1 o f2 9-1 On Wednesday night, the Council will hold a Public Hearing on the CDBG funds. Within the grant submission, The Salvation Army submitted a request for Operating costs for the emergency shelter, food, and additional assistance needed for the homeless and low-income in the community. The staff report indicates that The Salvation Army request not be funded even though it ranks as high as some of those that received funds. I want to be honest with you and agree with staff recommendation not to fund The Salvation Army request primarily because it is for "operational" and not brick and mortar. However, in reviewing the staff report there is an addition $130,000 that could be used for'brick and mortar" projects. This brings me to the purpose of this email. Timing being everything, right after the CDBG grants were due (February 10th), the Advisory Board held their annual retreat and approved moving forward to develop and construct a Single Parent with Children Shelter at Hope Harbor. The primary reason for these units are 1)Women with children over the age of 10 years old, or 2) Men with children (any age) can not currently stay at Hope Harbor. Unfortunately since we can not house them at Hope Harbor they must remain homeless. Currently The Salvation Army has completed the schematic drawings for the Single Parent with 03/17/2010 Page 2 of 2 Children Shelter. Within our existing facility, we can build three units and two classrooms. Estimated construction cost is $300,000. We plan to seek CBDG funds along with community donations to fund this project. Should we be successful in raising the funds, The Salvation Army will proceed with: • Construction Drawings—April through August 2010 • City Review and Permitting —August through September, 2010 ■ Construction Bid and Award — October & November 2010 • Construction starts December 2010 (Project all Indoors) • Completion — July 2011 We hope you will consider holding a portion of the $130,000 left in the CBO "Set Aside" for this much needed project. We would be glad to sit down with you and/or staff to review The Salvation Army request. (currently have a meeting until 8:00 pm Wednesday Night that lam leading. However, I am going to make every effort to attend the Council Meeting to discuss The Salvation Army's Single Parent with Children Shelter. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to give me a call at 327-3787.

Eligible activities include property acquisition, public improvements, housing rehabilitation, economic development, and public services. As a recipient of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding, the City has developed an Action Plan that describes the activities proposed to be funded in 2010-11. The Action Plan generally describes how the City will utilize program funds for eligible activities during the fiscal year. The Action Plan can be amended as needed to reallocate funds to housing and community development activities. Planning documents will be made available to the public for at least 30 days before adoption by the City Council. The documents are anticipated to be released in April 2010 for public review.
