COUNCIL COMMUNICATION AGENDA TITLE: Conduct A Public Hearing to Approve the Draft 2012/13 Action Plan for the Community Development Block Grant Program. MEETING DATE: March 21,2012 PREPARED BY: Community Development Department RECOMMENDED ACTION: Conduct a public hearing to approve the Draft 2012/13 Action Plan 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 The City will receive $630,001 in CDBG funds from the federal government for the coming fiscal year, a 6.7 percent reductionfrom 2011/12. That annual allocation is being supplemented with an additional $111,540 in Program Income, for a total funding amount for 2012113 of $741,541. Funding and Application Process The remaining processfor allocating the 2012/13 CDBG funding is as follows: • March 21,2012 Public Hearing to review draft Action Plan documents. • April 2 — May 2,2012 Public review period. • May 2,2012 Public Hearing to adopt Final Action Plan documents. • May 15,2011 Action Plan due to HUD. Konradt Bartlam, City Manager Conduct Public Hearingfor 2012/13 CDBG Action Plan March 21,2012 Page 2 of 4 At the completion of an application period that ran from January 11, 2012 to February 8, 2012, the City received a total of 11 applications from community-based organizations (CBO's) requesting a total of $389,865. After the preliminary review, it was found that 10 of the 11 applications were for eligible activities. Those 10 applications were then evaluated with a grading/scoring matrix that is intended to provide a standard of measurement to allow for an empirical rating of applicants. Each application is rated on a grading scale that allows a maximum of 100 points The review of the applications centered on the rating criteria that focuses on the following areas: • Activify Need and Justification. Activities were evaluated on their ability to 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 requestfor CDBG funding. Organizations applying for service funding were also evaluated on their ability to become self-sustaining. • Activify Managementand 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. The results from that scoring review are indicated on the Summary of Applications Received (ExhibitA). 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 percent for CBO projects and services. The distribution of CDBG funding in accordance with that policy is indicated in the following Table. 2012/13 CDBG Allocation $630,001 20% Pro ram Admin $126,000 Adjusted Balance $504,001 Supplemental Program Income $111,540 Total Funding Available for Distribution $615,541 60% Set-aside for City Projects & Services $369,325 40% Set-aside for CBO Projects & Services $ 246,216 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 $179,500 requested in Public Services and a Service Cap of $115,414for 2012/13. Conduct Public Hearing for 2012/13 CDBG Action Plan March 21,2012 Page 3 of 4 CDBG Funding Recommendations For planning and administrative activities, an allocation of $126,000 (20 percent of the CDBG 2012/13 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 ExhibitA (Summary/Ranking of 2010/11 Applications Received), Exhibit B (Internal Applications Received), and Exhibit C (City Manager's Recommendationsfor Funding). PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION $126,000 CITY CAPITAL PROJECTS ($365,041) • ADA Retrofit Improvements ($290,041) • Hale Park Sport Court Resurfacing ($75,000) CITY SERVICE PROGRAMS ($75,000) • Spay/Neuter Program ($25,000) • Graffiti Abatement ($50,000) CBO CAPITAL PROJECTS ($135,000) • LOEL Center— Demo 125S. Washington ($120,000) • Lodi House—Window Replacement ($15,000) CBO SERVICE PROGRAMS ($40,414) • San Joaquin Fair Housing — Fair Housing Services ($17,914) • Second Harvest Food Bank - Food Assistance Programs ($7,500) • Salvation Army — Food Programs ($15,000) Section 108 Loan Authorization One other element of the 2012/13 Annual Action Plan is the authorization for the City to pursue an application for a Section 108 Loan from HUD for ADA Improvements at the Grape Bowl facility. Section 108 is the loan guarantee provision of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program that provides communities with a source of financing for economic development, housing rehabilitation, public facilities, and large-scale physical development projects. Section 108 loans are not risk-free, however; local governments borrowing funds guaranteed by Section 108 must pledge their current and future CDBG allocations to cover the loan amount as security for the loan. Additional security will also be required to assure repayment of guaranteed obligations. The additional security requirements will be determined on a case-by-case basis, but could include assets financed by the guaranteed loan. The maximum repayment period for a Section 108 loan is twenty years. However, at the meeting of October 5, 201 1, the City Council did already determine a preferencefor a loan term of no more than 15 years. For the Grape Bowl Project in particular, an estimated $701,758 worth of the public facility improvements have been identified as potentially eligible for CDBG funding as removal of architectural barriers to accessibilitywithin that facility. Conduct Public Hearing for 2012/13 CDBG Action Plan March 21,2012 Page 4 of 4 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 2, 2012. The adopted Action Plan document must be submitted to HUD no laterthan May 15, 2012 in order to receive funding beginning July 1,2012. FISCAL IMPACT: CDBG are federal funds.
