fib CITY OF LODI
,. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Capital improvements allow for maintenance
costs to be reduced. Administration costs are paid via a 20 percent set-
aside of the grant funds.
