FINANCE DEPARTMENT
MEETING DATE: May 23, 2019
PREPARED BY: Christopher Gerry, Management Analyst
REQUEST: Request submission of the Program Year 2019 Action Plan to the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development; authorize the
Community Development Director to be the Certifying Official to execute
all federal documents moving forward; and ratify CDBG funding
recommendations in Program Year 2018.
Recommendation
By Minute Motion:
1. Request submission of the Program Year 2019 Action Plan, including funding
recommendations for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program,
to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD);
2. Authorize the Community Development Director to be the Certifying Officer to
execute all federal documents moving forward; and
3. Ratify CDBG funding recommendations based upon the contracted amounts in
Program Year 2018.
Background
Action Plan
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, which is administered by the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD), provides eligible jurisdictions
federal funds to address the needs of low and moderate people, allow for neighborhood
improvements, and available for urgent needs. The City is required to submit an application
(Action Plan) annually to HUD that outlines CDBG funding recommendations while addresses
other federal requirements.
In Program Year 2019, the City will program $446,419 in CDBG funds, which includes an
additional $46,000 in unprogrammed funds from prior program years. The CDBG funding
recommendations, summary of grant applications, and Action Plan can be found as
Attachment A, B, and C, respectively.
The City has also undertaken various steps during the development of the Action Plan to
promote public participation, which is consistent with the City's HUD -approved Citizen
Participation Plan. Those public participation activities include:

CDBG Program
Page 2 of 3
• January 10, 2019: The City Council held a public hearing to begin the public
participation process. This process included a 30-day public comment period as well.
Concurrently, the City began soliciting proposals to potentially fund nonprofit
organizations for public services and public facilities and improvements.
• January 23, 2019: City staff held a community meeting to provide nonprofit
organizations and other stakeholders an overview of the CDBG Program and technical
assistance, if required.
• March 18, 2019: The Outside Agency Funding Committee (Committee) convened to
allow for public comment and discussion of the CDBG funding recommendations
based upon estimates. The Committee unanimously recommended that the City
Council approve the CDBG funding recommendations based upon the estimates.
• Mav 8, 2019: City staff opened an additional 30-day public comment period.
• Mav 16, 2019: The Committee convened again to allow for public comment and
discussion of the CDBG funding recommendations based upon the actual allocation
(i.e., the City was notified of its CBDG allocation from HUD on April 15, 2019). The
Committee again unanimously recommended that the City Council approve the actual
CDBG funding recommendations.
Certifvina Officer
The Certifying Officer is the City's representative and signatory authority to HUD.
Responsibilities include, but are not limited to, reviewing and approving all federal documents
associated with the CDBG Program. The City Manager is currently the signatory authority.
City staff requests the Community Development Director to assume the role of Certifying
Officer due to his knowledge of federal requirements and more importantly to alleviate the
City Manager of this ongoing duty. Naming someone other than the City Manager as the
Certifying Officer is common in other jurisdictions as well.
Ratification of CDBG Funding Recommendations
On May 10, 2018, the City Council approved CDBG funding recommendations in the amount
of $351,872 for Program Year 2018. Since the recommendations were based on estimates
(including unprogrammed funds), the City Council approved language that stipulated an
increase or decrease in funding shall be applied proportionally to each funded activity. On
December 12, 2018, the City received its CDBG allocation, which revised the total funding
amount to $378,750; that is, an increase of $24,631 in CDBG funds.
However, the amounts were not distributed proportionally due to a staffing error. The
difference was distributed only to the capital facilities and improvements and rounded to the
nearest thousandth. The only exception was for one nonprofit organization that was currently
delinquent on completing a previous project; that nonprofit organization received the original
May 23, 2019 - Staff Report
CDBG Program
Page 3 of 3
Council -approved CDBG funding amount instead of a pro rate share. A CDBG contract
comparison can be found as Attachment D.
HUD recognizes the challenges facing jurisdictions with approving Action Plans, including
CDBG Program budgets, based on funding estimates. As a result, this program year HUD
allowed jurisdictions to submit their Action Plans 60 days from the announcement date of
CDBG allocations rather than the deadline of May 15, 2019. Therefore, the City's Action Plan
is due by June 13, 2019.
Fiscal Analvsis
There is no fiscal impact associated with this request.

Page 3 of 18
On January 10, 2019, the City commenced its citizen participation process by holding a public
hearing before the City Council to provide an opportunity for the public to comment on and
community needs. Concurrently, the City began soliciting proposals to potentially fund nonprofit
organizations for public services and public facilities and improvements. The City also held a
community meeting to provide an overview of the CDBG Program and technical assistance on
January 23, 2019.
On March 18, 2019, the City's Outside Agency Funding Committee (Committee) convened to review
and discuss CDBG funding recommendations based upon estimates. On April 15, 2019, the City
received its CDBG allocation from HUD. As a result, the Committee convened again to review and
discuss funding recommendations on May 16, 2019. The City held an additional public comment

3.3.Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless
persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans,
and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness
The City is actively involved in multiple activities to address the needs of homeless persons, which
include coordination with the Continuum of Care. For example, the City is involved in regional
coordination efforts between stakeholders throughout the Coachella Valley and Riverside County.
The City has historically funded homelessness services coordinated regionally through the Coachella
Valley Association of Governments (CVAG). For years, the City contributed funds to CVAG for the
operation of Roy's Desert Resource Center, which permanently closed in July 2017. Since then,
CVAG has allocated its regional financial commitments for other homelessness services. The City
recently made another financial commitment in the amount of $100,000 to CVAG to continue to
implement homelessness services. A summary of accomplishments can be found at City Hall.
The City previously budgeted General Fund revenue for its own homelessness program as well. City
and County staff have since developed a program that has a primary focus on homelessness locally.
The program contracts with the Riverside University Health System to provide a Behavioral Health
Specialist and a Mental Health Peer Support Specialist in Palm Desert to focus on providing
homelessness services. The agreement commences on July 1, 2019, and ends December 31, 2020.
Please note the County of Riverside coordinates the Continuum of Care.
3.4.Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in
determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate
outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and
procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS
The City does not receive Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds.
3.5.Describe agencies, groups, organizations and others who participated in the process and describe

Identified high -priority needs and improved
coordination for public services
3.6.Identify any agency types not consulted and provide rationale for not consulting
The City attempts to keep a comprehensive list of stakeholders potentially eligible to receive CDBG
funds for activities consistent with the Consolidated Plan goals. As some stakeholders undergo
staffing changes, on occasion City staff is unaware of such changes throughout the program year. As
a result, some stakeholders may not realize the City is attempting to consult with their organizations
during the Action Plan process. To mitigate this concern, City staff updates its contact list annually to
ensure proper channels of communication with stakeholders.

4.1.Summary of citizen participation process/efforts to broaden citizen participation; summarize
citizen participation process and how it's impacted goal -setting
The City followed its approved Citizen Participation Plan to conduct public hearings and community
outreach while developing the Action Plan.
On January 10, 2019, the City commenced its citizen participation process by holding a public
hearing before the City Council to provide an opportunity for the public to comment on and
community needs. Concurrently, the City began soliciting proposals to potentially fund nonprofit
Page 6 of 18
organizations for public services and public facilities and improvements. The City also held a
community meeting to provide an overview of the CDBG Program and technical assistance on
January 23, 2019.
On March 18, 2019, the City's Outside Agency Funding Committee (Committee) convened to review
and discuss CDBG funding recommendations based upon estimates. On April 15, 2019, the City
received its CDBG allocation from HUD. As a result, the Committee convened again to review and
discuss funding recommendations on May 16, 2019. The City held an additional public comment
period from May 8, 2019, through June 8, 2019. Finally, the City Council approved the Action Plan,
including CDBG funding recommendations, on May 23, 2019.
The City ensures that all public hearings are held at times and locations convenient to the public and
with accommodations for persons with disabilities. Upon request, in advance of meetings, the City
will attempt to make accommodations for those individuals in need of special assistance. The City
also provides technical assistance workshops as requested by the nonprofit organizations
participating in the CDBG program.

5.2. Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds),
including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied
The City receives a small allocation of CDBG funds annually relative to other HUD entitlement
communities. As a result, there are minimal funds formally leveraged, but it's worth noting that
each nonprofit organization funded contributes additional resources to implement their activities.
The City does not require subrecipients to match funds.
5.3.If appropriate, describe publically owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may
be used to address the needs identified in the plan
The City will continue to allocate CDBG funding and other sources of funding when and where
available to meet community needs. Activities will be targeted that address goals and objectives
identified in the Consolidated Plan.

7.3.Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and obstacles to addressing underserved needs
The City identifies its highest priority needs during its citizen participation process every year and
the Consolidated Plan process every five years. Activities are funded annually taking into
consideration these highest priority needs. The primary obstacle to address underserved needs in
the community is the lack of resources to provide a greater level of assistance.

9.1. Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and
minority concentration) where assistance will be directed
The City has not historically funded CDBG activities based upon geographic areas since there have
not been eligible low and moderate -income census tracts; however, HUD recently revised the
census criteria used to determine eligibility. As a result, the City now has two CDBG-eligible census
tracts. City staff is currently exploring the possibility of a Section 108 Loan for City Council's
consideration in subsequent program years.

12. AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities — 91.220(i)
12.1. Introduction
The City will continue to work with nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and other
Page 13 of 18
stakeholders to fund activities that help prevent and reduce homelessness.
12.2. Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness,
including reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing
their individual needs
The County of Riverside Continuum of Care (CoC) has established chronically homeless persons
as the highest priority need based on the goals HUD has established in its Opening Doors
Federal and Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness. The CoC has implemented a
Coordinated Entry System (CES) to ensure appropriate intervention is utilized to serve those
living on the streets, and provide for a prioritization of vulnerability and linkage to community
resources and housing accordingly.
As a part of the CoC, there are several outreach teams from County, cities, and nonprofit
organizations that cover specific populations or -geographic regions in the county. There are also
specific outreach teams serving the mentally ill, veterans, youth, and chronic homeless. The
teams collaborate weekly and each conduct daily mobile outreach and provide client services
focused on the chronically homeless populations living on the streets to connect them with
supportive services and achieve housing stability. The Behavioral Health Systems Department
has outreach peer specialists that perform initial field assessments, in-depth assessments,
referrals to all contacts, and linkage to various community resources.
12.3. Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
The Housing First approach adopted by the County and CoC requires that homeless are helped
into permanent housing or rapid re -housing as soon as possible. Transitional housing beds have
begun to decrease countywide and permanent housing is increasing because of reallocations
made in the HUD CoC Program Consolidated Application and the CoC's success in obtaining new
funding for permanent supportive housing. Both transitional housing and emergency shelters
focus on lessening the time that a homeless person or family's length of time homeless (LOTH)
in the shelter by effective and quick assessment of homeless clients and getting them stabilized
into permanent housing with intensive case management initially and support in the initial
phase of residency in permanent housing. This period will serve as a time to address the other
needs to maintain self-sufficiency either by accessing mainstream benefits, employment or
medical or mental health support.
The CoC collaborates with the City and other stakeholders to integrate CoC programs,
Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), Social Services to Veteran Families (SSVF), and CDBG funding
to increase the number of persons with rapid re -housing assistance. Also, other non-McKinney-
Vento funding sources, such as Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP), funded under
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will be matched as a source for rental /
mortgage assistance for families that are homeless or at -risk of homelessness in the County's
strategy to meet this goal.
12.4. Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals
Page 14 of 18
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were
recently homeless from becoming homeless again.
The CoC implemented a Coordinated Entry System (CES) to assess homeless persons using the
VI-SPDAT that tracks the length of time a client has been on the streets or in an emergency
shelter. DPSS uses HUD's CoC Program planning grant funding to measure system -wide
performance in HMIS, such as length of time homeless. This is used to help the CoC prioritize
and house those with longest length of time homeless. The planning process also included
working with the CoC Standards and Evaluation Committee to continue developing strategies to
prioritize persons with longest time homeless and most severe needs, including:
• Increasing the supply of permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing;
• Housing persons identified in CES with the longest time homeless first; and
• Using HMIS data to record episodes of homelessness and destination at program exit to
track agency and system performance.
The CoC has also adopted a Housing First approach that is evidenced -based and endorsed by
HUD to place a homeless person in permanent housing and provide supportive services
intended to keep them stably housed.
Homeless CoC youth providers have implemented outreach and service based events in the
communities to draw homeless youth, unaccompanied and transitional age into contact with
services available to them. The Operation SafeHouse is the only CoC youth provider that has
opened a permanent supportive housing program called the Harrison House, which is for
transitional age youth, in the eastern desert region of Riverside County.
12.5. Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly
funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities,
foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving
assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services,
employment, education, or youth needs.
The CoC Discharge Policy is mandated by the State and followed by the CoC. The CoC
established a Discharge Planning Committee, responsible for implementing policies and
protocols and coordinating with various organizations, to ensure that persons being discharged
from a publicly -funded institution or system of care are not discharged immediately into
homelessness. The goals are to identify discharge housing needs inclusive of housing and
supportive services and to link the individual with community resources that will include mental
health services, substance abuse support, and housing. The Hospital Association of Southern
California Inland Area serves as the lead agency on the Discharge Planning Committee to
facilitate communication regarding the discharge planning needs of homeless persons from
acute care hospitals. The Riverside County University Health System — Behavioral Health,
collaborates with DPSS and the CoC in the coordination and implementation of discharge
planning for homeless individuals disabled by a serious mental health and/or substance abuse
disorder(s). Foster Care and extended foster care programs help transition dependent youth
who are emancipating from foster care to independent living. The Department of Public Social
Services, Riverside Sheriff's, and Probation Department support the Continuum of Care's
Page 15 of 18
mission of working towards reintegrating persons leaving correctional facilities to community -
based living and self-sufficiency.
13. AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing — 91.2200)
13.1. Introduction
Actions planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as
barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning
ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the
return on residential investment
The City does not plan to undertake any activities this program year to remove barriers to
affordable housing. However, the City continuously funds fair housing council services.
14. AP-85 Other Actions — 91.220(k)
14.1. Introduction
The City will continue to work with various stakeholders to meet the needs of its residents that
remain in -need of CDBG-eligible activities consistent with Consolidated Plan goals.
14.2. Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
The City will continue to work toward the reduction/elimination of obstacles to meet
underserved needs through the funding of various organizations that are established to provide
direct services to those in need. The City is not equipped to provide direct services; therefore,
funding organizations that do is essential to our success in addressing the identified goals and
objectives. The City will continue to partner with service providers to address obstacles and
address barriers that exist.
In addition, the City works with the County of Riverside, the CoC, local agencies, nonprofit
organizations, and other stakeholders to address various aspects related to CoC programs and
activities, as well as obstacles that face the underserved in general. However, the CoC addresses
issues relative to homelessness, mental and physical illnesses, domestic violence, and other
issues, and has a wide range of members where collaboration in other areas is an
option. Through these working relationships, obstacles such as lack of communication between
agencies, improved services, limited resources, tracking and monitoring, and other needed
resources are obtained, gaps in services are better identified, and there is a more cohesive
approach to identifying and resolving issues.
14.3. Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing
The City and the Palm Desert Housing Authority will continue to maintain the existing affordable
housing stock; however, with the elimination of redevelopment agencies, there is no longer 20%
set -aside funds for affordable housing. Therefore, maintaining existing properties and programs
will be the primary focus, provided funding is available in the future. New projects and programs
will be planned and implemented where and when possible.
Page 16 of 18
14.4. Actions planned to reduce lead -based paint hazards
The City's departments and divisions of Building and Safety and Housing distribute pamphlets on
lead -based paint hazards, and refer all calls to the County of Riverside Environmental Health
Department. The City addresses this issue on a case -by -case basis through the following steps:
Step 1: As newer homes are built, stricter environmental guidelines and the sale and
rental of older homes are regulated to protect potential buyers and renters. While lead -
based paint hazards are still a potential problem, this has allowed for better protection
to children and adults by minimizing lead -based paint hazards in new homes.
Step 2: The City will work with the County, residents, and others to address lead -based
paint hazards through testing and abatement efforts on a case -by -case basis. State law
requires housing agencies to conduct random samples of dwelling units, common areas,
and exteriors to determine the presence of lead -based paint in pre-1979 family
developments where children live or are expected to visit.
Step 3: The City's departments of Building and Safety and Housing will ensure that
regulations related to enforcement of lead -based paint are carried out on both City
and private projects, when possible, through remodels and rehabilitation of older units
that require permits or if brought to the City's attention.
Step 4: The City will also refer calls to qualifying firms that assist residents and
businesses with lead -based paint, mold, and other hazards.
Step 5: The City contracts with the Fair Housing Council of Riverside County, which
distributes informational brochures and attends events to educate and increase
awareness of lead -based paint hazards.
14.5. Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty -level families
The City will continue to collaborate with nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and
other stakeholders to provide assistance for poverty -level families, including providing funding
for food and other services during the program year. Also, the City continuously seeks
partnerships for programs that encourage self-sufficiency, including employment and training,
housing options, and safety net programs.
14.6. Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City will continue to work with nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and other
stakeholders to maintain and develop relationships including, but not limited to, the County of
Riverside, private businesses, and the CoC.
14.7. Actions to enhance coordination between public, private housing, and social service agencies
The City will continue to work with nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and other
stakeholders to identify and implement the goals and objectives of the CDBG Program, and to
Page 17 of 18
create a more cooperative working relationship with interested parties. The City invites these
groups to attend public hearings, community meetings, and special meetings that address
specific activities. In addition, City staff regularly attends CoC meetings that involve multiple
organizations wherein discussions are held on homelessness and supportive services and
other at -risk persons.

FINANCE DEPARTMENT
MEETING DATE: January 10, 2019
PREPARED BY: Christopher Gerry, Management Analyst
REQUEST: Request to commence the Fiscal Year (FY) 2019/20 Community
Development Block Grant Program application process and develop the
FY 2019/20 Annual Action Plan.
Recommendation
By Minute Motion:
1. Open the public hearing and receive public comment relative to the Fiscal
Year (FY) 2019/20 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program
cycle and develop the FY 2019/20 Annual Action Plan, and;
2. Open the FY 2019/20 CDBG application process.
Strateqic Plan Obiective
Not applicable.
Backqround
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program is designed to assist jurisdictions
in addressing the needs of the very low to low-income population (e.g., homeless, seniors,
at -risk youth, individuals, and families) through funding nonprofit organizations that provide
direct services to qualifying clientele. CDBG funds may be used for public facility
improvements for a building/property owned by a nonprofit agency providing services for the
homeless, severely handicapped, or at -risk youth. Funds may also be used to support public
service programs providing food, clothing, counseling, medical, transportation services and/or
shelter, or to undertake City programs or projects designed to provide a benefit to very low to
low-income individuals.
On May 24, 2018, the City Council adopted a resolution and approved a cooperative
agreement with the County of Riverside to participate in its Urban County CDBG Program.
As previously presented, there are various benefits to joining the Urban County CDBG
Program under the designation of a "Metro City." For example, the City would still maintain
local control of selecting activities to fund and have much less of an administrative burden.
Please see the attached staff report for more information.
However, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has since
determined the City must wait to join the Urban County CDBG Program until FY 2021/22 due
to federal regulations, which only allow cities to join an Urban County CDBG Program as a
January 10, 2019 - Staff Report
CDBG Program
Page 2of2
Metro City during a specific window of time every three years. As a result, City staff will bring
forward a new resolution and cooperative agreement for City Council consideration in the
future. In the meantime, City staff will continue to coordinate our CDBG Program as a Direct
Entitlement Jurisdiction (1 T'' year).
In order to accept applications for the upcoming year and develop the Annual Action Plan,
the City Council conducts a public hearing to receive comments from the public. This process
officially opens the FY 2019/20 (45rn year) cycle of the CDBG Program, which will conclude
with recommendations for grant awards by the Outside Agency Funding Committee to City
Council, as well as approval of the Annual Action Plan.
The City of Palm Desert's CDBG allocation is unknown until approval of the federal budget.
Furthermore, HUD recommends that jurisdictions move forward with the annual process and
base their funding on the previous year's allocation, regardless of whether or not the Federal
budget has been approved. As a result, staff estimates the FY 2019/20 CDBG funding level
based on the previous year's allocation of $354,119. If the City is not notified of its allocation
prior to grant award recommendations to City Council in April 2019, awards will be modified
as outlined by the Outside Agency Funding Committee, if necessary.
Staff maintains a mailing list for community nonprofit and social service agencies who have
expressed interest in the CDBG Program. Notifications were recently distributed to
approximately 90 separate organizations. Also, these potential subrecipients received a copy
of the items, as follows: 1) notice of public hearing for January 10, 2019; 2) needs assessment
form to submit written comments; 3) notice that the CDBG application is available on the
City's website or by contacting the City for a hardcopy; and 4) community meeting notice
scheduled for January 23, 2019. Those present at the City Council meeting and community
meeting will be able to provide input on activities that address community needs, and on the
development of the Annual Action Plan.
All CDBG applications will be accepted and reviewed by the Outside Agency Funding
Committee with recommendations submitted to the City Council for final review and approval.
The deadline for application submittal is February 15, 2019.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
To: Outside Agency Funding Committee
From: Christopher Gerry, Management Analyst
Date: March 18, 2019
Subject: Fiscal Year 2019-20 Community Development Block Grant Applications
The City of Palm Desert receives an annual entitlement in Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) Program funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD). The City has historically allocated its CDBG funds to nonprofit
organizations that provide services to low and moderate -income households.
City staff recently solicited CDBG applications from nonprofit agencies in anticipation of
awarding subgrants for public services (operational costs), public facilities and
improvements (capital costs), and program administration. Please note that federal
requirements restrict funding for public services (not to exceed 15%) and program
administration (not to exceed 20%) of the City's annual entitlement amount. Although, public
facilities and improvements generally have no funding restrictions.
City staff does not have any indication of our CDBG allocation for the upcoming fiscal year.
Therefore, City staff anticipates budgeting the same amount as last fiscal year ($354,000),
plus additional unprogrammed funds ($46,000), for a total amount of $400,000.
City staff has reviewed the subrecipient applications and subsequently developed CDBG
funding recommendations. The Committee may affirm or modify the recommendations at its
discretion. The funding recommendations can be found as Attachment A. Also, a summary
of each nonprofit organization's request can be found as Attachment B.
Funding recommendations made by the Committee will be incorporated into the Annual
Action Plan and presented to the full City Council for consideration in April 2019.

On March 18, 2019, the Outside Agency Funding Committee convened to review the CDBG
funding recommendations based upon budget estimates. The City has since received its
CDBG allocation ($400,419), which is complemented by additional unprogrammed funds
($46,000), for a revised total amount of $446,419.
City staff has developed funding recommendations based upon the actual CDBG allocation.
The Committee may affirm or modify the recommendations at its discretion. The revised
funding recommendations can be found as Attachment A. Also, a summary of each
nonprofit organization's request can be found as Attachment B.
Funding recommendations made by the Committee will be incorporated into the Annual

for persons of low and moderate income) and requirements of 24 CFR Parts 91 and 570.
Following a Plan -- It is following a current consolidated plan that has been approved by HUD.
Use of Funds -- It has complied with the following criteria:
1. Maximum Feasible Priority. With respect to activities expected to be assisted with CDBG
funds, it has developed its Action Plan so as to give maximum feasible priority to activities which
benefit low- and moderate -income families or aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or
blight. The Action Plan may also include CDBG-assisted activities which the grantee certifies
are designed to meet other community development needs having particular urgency because
existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community,
and other financial resources are not available (see Optional CDBG Certification).
2. Overall Benefit. The aggregate use of CDBG funds, including Section 108 guaranteed loans,
during program year(s) [a period specified by the grantee of one,
two, or three specific consecutive program years], shall principally benefit persons of low and
moderate income in a manner that ensures that at least 70 percent of the amount is expended for
activities that benefit such persons during the designated period.
3. Snecial Assessments. It will not attempt to recover any capital costs of public improvements
assisted with CDBG funds, including Section 108 loan guaranteed funds, by assessing any
amount against properties owned and occupied by persons of low and moderate income,
including any fee charged or assessment made as a condition of obtaining access to such public
improvements.
However, if CDBG funds are used to pay the proportion of a fee or assessment that relates to the
capital costs of public improvements (assisted in part with CDBG funds) financed from other
revenue sources, an assessment or charge may be made against the property with respect to the
public improvements financed by a source other than CDBG funds.
In addition, in the case of properties owned and occupied by moderate -income (not low-income)
families, an assessment or charge may be made against the property for public improvements
financed by a source other than CDBG funds if the jurisdiction certifies that it lacks CDBG funds
to cover the assessment.
Excessive Force -- It has adopted and is enforcing:
1. A policy prohibiting the use of excessive force by law enforcement agencies within its
jurisdiction against any individuals engaged in non-violent civil rights demonstrations; and
2. A policy of enforcing applicable State and local laws against physically barring entrance to or
exit from a facility or location which is the subject of such non-violent civil rights demonstrations
within its jurisdiction.
Compliance with Anti -discrimination laws -- The grant will be conducted and administered in
conformity with title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000d) and the Fair Housing Act (42
U.S.C. 3601-3619) and implementing regulations.
Lead -Based Paint -- Its activities concerning lead -based paint will comply with the requirements of 24
CFR Part 35, Subparts A, B, J, K and R.
Compliance with Laws -- It will comply with applicable laws.

My apologies, but is there any way to revise this notice? Since the notice isn't published until
Wednesday, the comment period should read from May 8"" to June 81, (not May 6 to June 6` ). Can
the public comment period date in this third paragraph be revised? If so, what do you need from
me? I've attached the draft with the correct dates as well. Please let me know. Thank you.
