BACKGROUND INFORMATION: A public hearing is required as part of the federal requirements of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. As we complete the fifth and final year of the 2009-2014 CDBG Consolidated Plan, we have begun the process for developing and adopting the 2014-2018 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 approximately $650,000 in CDBG funds for fiscal year 2014115. 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 2012113. The distribution of funds will be as follows: City projects $312,000 CBO projects $208,000 Administration $130,000 (20% of the 2094/15 Annual allocation) TOTAL $650,000 15% Service Cap $97,500.00 APPROVED. ti StepTe_h--Sc-hwab_atsr,4nterim City Manager Set Public Hearing for CDBG Consolidated Plan March 19, 2014 Page 2 of 2 Next Steps Upon completion of the initial public hearing, the Draft Consolidated Plan will be available for public review and comment and will be brought back for final approval on May 7, 2014.
