A public hearing is required as part of the federal requirements under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. The overall goal of the CDBG program is to serve low- and moderate- income persons by developing viable urban communities through the following actions: providing decent housing; providing a suitable living environment; and expanding economic opportunities. The 2019-23 Consolidated Plan is a five-year planning document that sets forth the priority needs and goals for the CDBG program, and contains the 2019-20 Annual Action Plan. The Consolidated Plan provides an outline of the actions to be undertaken in the next five years, in relation to capital improvements, economic development, public services, infrastructure improvements, housing, homelessness, special needs, and other various community development type activities, of which are identified by the City and the community. The 2019-20 Annual Action Plan presents a detailed description of the activities proposed for the 2019-20 CDBG program year, as well as the CDBG budget and goals for that year. The process of developing the 2019-23 Consolidated Plan has involved a significant amount of community outreach and public involvement. Outreach included the distribution and collection of a community needs survey, a workshop focused on noticing the public of CDBG funding and community needs, consultations with local organizations and stakeholders, Lodi Improvement Committee meetings that encourage citizen participation and public comment, a 30 -day public review period for the draft consolidated and annual plan documents, as well as public hearings to allow for public feedback after the release of the Draft 2019-23 Consolidated Plan and 2019-20 Annual Action Plan. The information gathered through the outreach process pertaining to community needs and public comment is then combined with a review of demographic and economic data sets, analyzed and assessed, and then developed into a Needs Assessment and Housing Market Analysis that is provided within the Consolidated Plan. Once these two sections are completed, they form the basis of the Strategic Plan section, which details City goals for addressing priority needs over the next five years. APPROVED: Stephen Schwabauer, City Manager 2018-19 AAP Amendment No. 2 Page 2of5 2019-23 Consolidated Plan Priority Needs and Goals Based on community outreach, data collection, and analysis of housing, socio-economic and infrastructure characteristics, the City proposes eleven (11) priority needs for the 2019-23 Consolidated Plan cycle: • Safe Neighborhood • Park Improvements • Public Facilities • Public Infrastructure • Affordable Housing • Children • Youth • Seniors • Persons with Disabilities • Single -parent families • Homelessness Staff took into consideration the opinions of residents, community stakeholders, community-based organizations, the Lodi Improvement Committee, City staff, and various other professional and influential members of the community to decide on which goals would best address the identified priority needs. The result was the creation of seven (7) primary goals that would be the focus over the next five years: Develop Safe and Healthy Neighborhoods • Develop safe, healthy, and secure neighborhoods within CDBG Target Area (e.g., neighborhood watch groups, street lighting, traffic -calming methods, traffic signals, street or private home cameras) Improve Public Spaces • Improve public spaces within CDBG Target Area (e.g., community gardens, park cleanups, street cleaning, street surface improvements, alley improvements, and park improvements for youth activities such as soccer fields) Address Dilapidated Conditions • Address dilapidated conditions to improve neighborhoods within CDBG Target Area (e.g., critical repair program, code enforcement, housing rehabilitation, graffiti abatement) Improve Access • Improve access to public facilities and infrastructure for disabled, seniors, and low-income families (e.g., transportation, ADA accessibility, sidewalk improvements) Improve Housing Access and Affordability • Improve housing opportunities, accessibility, affordability, and sustainability (e.g., fair housing, rehabilitate affordable housing units, create new affordable housing units, homeless housing) Build Capacity • Build capacity, leadership, and connections within the CDBG Target Area (e.g., ABCD program) Support Programs for Priority Populations Support programs or projects that assist lower-income children, youth, seniors, and single -parent families, and that assist the extremely low-income population (e.g., after-school recreation, homework help, gang prevention, mental health services, homeless services, childcare) Annual Action Plan The 2019-20 Annual Action Plan is the first of five annual action plans for the 2019-23 CDBG period; it is incorporated into the five-year Consolidated Plan document and includes the budget for the program year, as well as the proposed projects and estimated allocations for each project. Though HUD has not released the amount of CDBG awards for the 2019-20 program year, the City estimates that it will receive $630,000 for the 2019-20 program year. 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 allocated to City projects. Also, HUD places a yearly 15 percent cap on funds spent on public services. 2018-19 AAP Amendment No. 2 Page 3 of 5 Based upon the estimated allocation, the distribution of funds will be as follows: City projects $302,400 CBO projects $201,600 Administration $126,000 TOTAL $630,000 15% Service Cap $94,500 At the completion of an application period that ran from December 17, 2019 to January 22, 2019 the City received ten project applications from community-based organizations, requesting over $150,952 in social service—type activities, $22,841 in planning and administration for fair housing -related projects, and approximately $112,510 in capital improvement projects. Organizations requesting funding for social service projects then had their applications 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 allowed a maximum of 157 points. The review of the applications centered on the rating criteria that focuses on the following areas: • Serving Priority Populations. Programs and projects were evaluated on whether they serve targeted priority populations, as identified in the Consolidated Plan. • Activity 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 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 past experience, administrative capacity, and financial management. • Past Performance. Applicants previously receiving CDBG funds from the City were evaluated on their reporting and timely expenditure of funds. CDBG Funding Recommendations Staff estimates that the City will receive an allocation of approximately $630,000 in CDBG funds for program year 2019-20 from HUD. As of the date of this memo, the City has not been notified yet of its annual allocation from HUD. Therefore, this plan puts forth only an estimate of projects and allocations based upon last year's allocation. The plan also contains a contingency provision that outlines how the City will allocate funds to projects once it receives news of its award. Per HUD's direction, the contingency language allows the City to move forward with approval of its final plan even when final allocations have not been announced and allows the City to submit the final plan within HUD's timely submittal requirements. For planning and administrative activities, an allocation of $126,000 (20 percent of the CDBG allocation) is recommended to cover the costs of managing the CDBG Program plus fair housing services provided by two service providers. Remaining funding recommendations are grouped into the following categories: City Capital projects, City Service programs, CBO capital projects, and CBO service programs. Funding recommendations for these categories are listed as follows, with additional detail on applicants and recommendations in Exhibit A (Summary/Ranking of Applications Received). 2018-19 AAP Amendment No. 2 Page 4 of 5 Program Administration $126,000 • City Program Administration $103,159 • Fair Housing $22,841 o California Rural Legal Assistance $7091 o San Joaquin Fair Housing $15,750 City Capital Projects $289,500 • Blakely Park Restroom $273,000 • HEAP Tiny House project $16,500 City Service Programs $30,000 • Graffiti Abatement $30,000 CBO Capital Projects $120,000 • Salvation Army: HVAC/Refrigerator Repairs $120,000 CBO Service Programs $64,500 • LOEL Foundation - Meals on Wheels Program $7,500 • Second Harvest Food Bank - Food Assistance Program $9,000 • Salvation Army: Hope Harbor Shelter - Facility Administration $12,000 • CA Human Development - Immigration Expansion Program $8,000 • Community Partnership for Families - Family Resource Center and Youth Program $28,000 Contingency Language For social service projects, the budgets for all proposed activities will be proportionally increased or decreased from estimated funding levels to match actual allocation amounts based on the percentage they were recommended to receive in this draft (i.e. percentage of $94,500). This means that if there is a decrease in funding, each social service project will receive a reduction in funding, whereas if there is an increase in funding, each project will see an increase in funding in proportion to the percentage that it was recommended to receive in this draft. The exception to this is that no project is able to be funded under $7,000. If funding is reduced to the point of making a project go under $7,000, then each project will begin to see a reduction in their funds up until the point of $7,000. For capital improvement projects, if the City receives additional funding, this funding will go to the HEAP Tiny Homes project's funding; however, if less funding is received than expected, the difference will be taken out of the HEAP Tiny Homes project's funds. If the actual allocation is so low that it depletes the HEAP project entirely, any additional lack in funding will be taken out of the Salvation Army's HVAC and Refrigerator Repair Project. Next Steps Upon completion of the initial public hearing on April 17, 2019, the Draft 2019-23 Consolidated Plan and 2019-20 Annual Action Plan will be available for public review and comment and will be brought back for final approval at a public hearing on May 1, 2019. Due to delays in the congressional operations, submission dates for the Consolidated Plan have become tentative. HUD has sent the City a notice to inform staff of the delay for 2019-20 fiscal year allocations. Depending on the announcement of the official submittal date, the latest the Consolidated Plan may be submitted is August 15, 2019. Regardless of this tentative submittal, the program year will begin July 1, 2019 FISCAL IMPACT: The 2018-19 Annual Action Plan Amendment No. 2 documents are being completed as an activity that is funded through the City's CDBG allocation from U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. 2018-19 AAP Amendment No. 2 Page 5 of 5 FUNDING AVAILABLE: SS/PC/kjc In order to mitigate the use of general funds being spent on the overages incurred by the Blakely Park Swim complex project, the approximately $40,000 transferred from the Blakely Shade Structure project will help to reduce the use of general funds.
