BACKGROUND INFORMATION. A public hearing is required as part of the federal requirements of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. The Action Plan is the annual implementing document for the 2014-2018 Consolidated Plan 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 $613,959 in CDBG funds for the 2016-17 program year, an increase of $554 over the 2015-16 allocation. 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 annual allocation. The distribution of funds will be as follows: City projects $294,701 CBO projects $196,467 Administration $122,791 (20% of the Annual allocation) TOTAL $613,959 15% Service Cap $92,093.00 Reallocation The public hearing will also allow for the amendment of the 2015-16 Annual Action Plan to accommodate the reallocation of funding from projects that have either been completed, will not be able to use the funds in a timely fashion, or have decided not to use CDBG funding. We are still calculating available funding amounts from those projects.
