II. Executive Summary:
The Outside Agency Funding Committee met on Thursday, March 2, 2006, to review the
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) applications for FY 2006/2007. The table below
reflects the funding recommendations of the Committee for this grant cycle. The City received

City Council has approved the Action Plan, staff will submit to HUD for its 45-day review and

funding as outlined in the table below. Those applicants listed in the recommendation for funding
column have been identified as potential funding recipients. The table outlines all CDBG
applicants who submitted an application, funding recommendation, the proposed award amount,
and the original amount requested by each organization.
The funding recommendation for each category is Capital Improvement at 65 percent,
Administrative at 20 percent, and Pubic Service at 15 percent. (The only category that may

As reflected within the above table, funding requests for capital improvement projects and public
service programs were quite close. All requests for capital improvement funding were approved
except the Olive Crest Treatment Center. Given today's extremely high construction costs and
City Council Staff Report
May 11, 2006
Page 3 of 14
the fund raising status of Olive Crest (see notes in section below), the Committee decided not to
award funds at this time. On the other hand, public service requests are well over the funds
available.
The Committee based its funding recommendation on organizations with programs that provide
the most benefit to the Palm Desert Community, previous funding history, type of program and
target recipients, and if the programs qualified for CDBG funding. See notes in the attached table
for specific reasoning of funding recommendations made pertaining to each applicant. The
recommendation to keep the Administrative category at its capacity of 20 percent is to allow
flexibility in meeting Administrative needs and to possibly provide assistance to organizations
funded through CDBG that may experience financial difficulties in completing projects.
It should be noted that the Committee realizes that all of the organizations and the proposed
projects/programs provide a benefit to the community, as such all are worthwhile; however,
available funds are never sufficient to cover all requests and difficult decisions on funding are
made.
City Council's final approval of CDBG applicants and awards will be included within the One -Year
Action Plan and submitted to HUD upon approval. Staff recommends approval of the Outside
Agency's recommendations as submitted and the One -Year Action Plan.

The City was allocated $356,983 in funding for FY 2006/2007 to distribute to
subrecipients with programs/projects that meet the identified needs within the City's
Consolidated Plan and meeting National Objectives. There were a total of 22 applications
received excluding the Fair Housing Application. Seven (7) of the 22 applications were for
capital improvement and/or public facilities improvement projects while the other 15 were
for public service programs. The City awarded additional funds to six of the capital
improvement/public facilities improvement projects as funds were available and
construction costs are extremely high leaving many non-profit organizations unable to
proceed or complete projects as planned. After considerable discussion, it was decided not
to fund the Olive Crest Treatment Center, due to lack its estimated project budget being
more than two or three years old it does not reflect current construction costs this is quite
important given the limited funds raised; funds raised do not cover even half of the required
costs to undertake this project. Given the previous information and CDBG requirements to
expend funds in a timely fashion as well as the 1.5 timelineness issue, the City felt that it
could not fund this project as this time.
The following table lists all applicants that submitted an application for funding
consideration. The Outside Agency Funding Committee and the Palm Desert City Council
approved the identified applicants and dollar award to each organization as noted in the

Home Improvement Program funding will continue in FY 2006/07. Funding will be
provided through Program Income and Redevelopment Agency funding, if needed.
Estimated Program Income in the amount of $80,000.
General Information:
The City of Palm Desert adopted the (2003-2008) Five-Year Consolidated Plan and now
is preparing its fourth (FY 2006/2007) One-Year Action Plan to be submitted to the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on May 15, 2006. The Action Plan
is the projected one-year use of funds that the City proposes to utilize to address the
identified priority needs and local objectives for the 2006/2007 year under Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG). The City's CDBG allocation is $395,595,000 to fund
programs and projects that meet National Objectives and to create a viable urban
community by providing benefits to the homeless, and persons of low and moderate
income, decent housing and living conditions as well as other programs and projects that
meet the National Objectives. Outlined below are the various funding sources available at
the local, state, and federal levels to accomplish the housing and non-housing community
development needs as well as other community needs.
General Questions
Describe the geographic areas of the jurisdiction and basis for allocating
investments geographically during the next year.
No. i and 2: The City of Palm Desert will not be undertaking area benefit projects
or programs during FY 2005/2006. Therefore, there will be no geographic distribution
within the City limits of Palm Desert. All program activities will benefit the very low to, low
and moderate-income persons, limited clientele activities, and housing activities. The
geographic distribution will be Palm Desert/Coachella Valley wide as most of the
organizations are located in other cities (e.g., Coachella, Indio, Cathedral City, and Palm
Springs, etc.), but the activities of these organizations have a direct and indirect impact on
the Palm Desert Community and meet the identified needs; therefore, the City has
recommended funding the organizations listed within the Action Plan. A Geographical map
of the Coachella Valley is attached but not necessarily required, as the City is not proposing
to fund any area benefit projects in this cycle.
Activities to be undertaken to Address Priority Needs:
The Action Plan describes the City's activities that will meet specific areas of need as
identified within the Consolidated Plan. The following is a list of needs identified within the
Strategic Plan Section:
- Non-housing Programs and Projects
- Homeless
- Senior Programs
- Domestic and Child Abuse
- Persons with Disabilities Issue
- Administration
- Fair Housing: Tenant/Landlord
- Public Facilities Improvements
center, historical preservation
etc.

Long-term (Five-Year) Strategic Plans are listed within the Consolidated Plan. Those
listed above identify areas of need within the Plan for FY 2005/2006. Listed below are the
specific projects that address these needs.
Describe actions that will take place during the next year to address obstacles to
meeting underserved needs.
Tables under Executive Summary outline specific organizations, types of
program/project, and award that are being proposed within the next year to address specific
needs as well as obstacles that have identified within the City's Five-Year Consolidated Plan.
Through these organizations and the programs/projects will the City be able to continue its
efforts to address obstacles within the Palm Desert and Coachella Valley community.
The City will work on building a closer working relationship with various departments
within the County of Riverside, local agencies, and non-profits to address the various
aspects related to Continuum of Care Program that encompasses various issues related to
homelessness, mental and physical illnesses, domestic violence, etc. Through these
relationships obstacles such as lack of communication between various agencies, improved
services, limited resources, tracking, and other needed resources. These issues are quite
often obstacles that have a direct impact on the success or failure of ineeting underserved
needs within communities.
Managing the Process
Identify the lead agency, entity, and agencies responsible for administering
programs covered by the consolidated plan.
The City of Palm Desert, Special Programs Department under the Community Services
Division is the lead agency, which will be administering the Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) Program. However, the City's award of FY 2006/2007 CDBG funds to
subrecipients (non-profits and/or other agencies) for specific programs and projects
proposed to be funded within the Action Plan will be partners with the City as the actual
organizations responsible for the programs that meet many of the identified needs within
the Consolidated Plan.
Identify the significant aspects of the process by which the plan was developed,
and the agencies, groups, organizations, and others who participated in the
process.
The process used to develop the plan and agencies involved with the process was that
outlined with the Citizen's Participation Plan. City staff and Council members were
responsible for the initial implementation of the process. Efforts were made through public
hearings, community meetings, publication of notices, articles in the City's BrightSide
Newsletter, etc. to seek participation from residents, local agencies, and organizations to
develop the plan and identify needs. However, minimal participation was received.
However, based on the needs identified within the Consolidated Plan and continuous
observations of what is occurring within the community the City was able to develop a plan
that continues to address identified needs while following the process as provided in the
Citizen Participation Plan.

Describe actions that will take place during the next year to enhance coordination
between public and private housing, health, and social service agencies.
The City will continue to work with various departments within County of Riverside and
other organizations that address the above areas to carry out the goals and objectives of
the CDBG Program as well as to create a more cooperative working relationship. This will
be accomplished through several means such attending meeting and other information
forums sponsored by local agencies and organizations to providing input on programs and
processes, attend workshops, share advise, work to develop improved communications, and
provide funding where and when possible. Through these efforts will the desired change
and outcome to address unmet needs be accomplished.

Program Monitoring and Performance Measurement System:
The monitoring systems that the City has in place and will continue to follow is as
outlined within the Consolidated Plan; however, reference will be reiterated here:
Program Monitoring: The City of Palm Desert through the Community Services
Division will continue to appropriate monitoring actions of all Community, Planning, and
Development (CPD), funded activities and recipients in accordance with applicable U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development regulations and requirements as well as the
Consolidated Plan. The guiding principles and objectives of the monitoring is to ensure that
the primary benefits of all activities are intended, directed, and received by targeted groups
including but not limited to: low and moderate income households, homeless, elderly, "at-
risk" youth, persons with disabilities, special need households, and women and minority-

Lead-based Paint
Describe the actions to address Lead-based Paint Hazards.
The Riverside County Environmental Health had no specific reportable numbers for Palm
Desert. There have been no reported cases to the City's Building & Safety Department or
the Redevelopment Agency of Lead-based Paint in Palm Desert.
Given the geographical location of Palm Desert and that approximately 90 percent of all
housing is stucco and painted with water-base latex paint, there is not a significant Lead
Based Paint problem in Palm Desert. However, this issue will be addressed on a case-by-
case basis through the following steps:
Step 1: As newer homes are built under stricter environmental guidelines and the sale
and rental of older homes are regulated to protect potential buyers and renters, the Lead-
based Paint Hazard while still a potential problem, has allowed for better protection to
children and adults. This minimizes lead based paint hazards in new homes.
Step 2: The City will work with the County, residents or others to address the issue of
Lead-based Paint Hazards through testing and abatement efforts on a case-by-case basis.
State law as amended under Section 302 requires housing agencies to conduct random
samples of dwelling units, common areas, and exteriors to determine the presence of lead-
based paint hazards in pre-1979 family developments where children live or are expected to
visit.
Step 3: The City will conduct outreach and education through the City's Housing
Department and Building and Safety Department. These departments will ensure that
regulations related to enforcement of lead-based paint are carried out on City projects and
on private projects, when possible, through remodels and rehabilitations of older units.
Distribution of educational brochures as well as inspections will be undertaken given specific
situation.
Step 4: The City will also refer calls to Citadel a firm that assist residents and
businesses with Lead Based Paint, mold, and other hazards.
Step 5: The City contracts with Fair Housing Council of Riverside County, which will also
distribute brochures and attend events to educate and increase awareness of this hazard.
Specific Housing Objectives
i. Describe the priorities and specific objectives to achieve during the next year.
2. Describe how Federal, State, and local public and private sector resources
expected to be available to address identified needs.
Fourth Program Year Action Plan 10 Version 1.3
Jurisdiction
The specific objectives planned in the next year are the project and activities that
have been provided below. (See Attachments No. 1 and No. 2 for specific City and
Redevelopment Capital Improvement Projects plan for FY 2006/07.) The funding sources
also identified below will be used in any combination that provides for implementation of the
programs and activities that will address affordable housing in the private sector. The
various funding sources will be utilized either single or in any combination that allows the
City to develop and implement the programs and activities:
Affordable Housing: The City has established the following housing priorities:
• Provide homeownership opportunities for first-time homebuyers and homeownership for
the low to very low and moderate-income community.
• Improve the conditions of substandard housing and improve the conditions of existing
housing affordable to low to very low-income individuals and families.
• Expand the affordable rental housing stock for low income and special needs
households.
• Provide rental assistance for low to very-low income individuals and families.
• Provide Code Compliance efforts to eliminate slum and blight in low to moderate-income
areas.

A. Project Type: Home Improvement Program Amount: $0.00
Matrix Code: 14A Reg. Code: 570.202(a)(1)
Organization: Redevelopment, Housing Authority Department
Location: 73-510 Fred Waring Dr., Palm Desert, CA 92260.
(Community-wide)
Project Description: Home Improvement Program (HIP). Funds will provide to very low and
low income households who are owner occupied. There are four components of HIP: (1) Emergency
Grants up to $3,000; (2) Rehabilitation Grants up to $12,500; (3) Matching funds up to $2,500; (4) Low
interest loans up to $25,000. All four components of the HIP are available for home repairs including, but
not limited to, Health and Safety Code issues, energy efficiency repairs/replacement/retrofitting, including
windows, doors, air conditioning and heating, roof, termite treatment, electrical, exterior paint, and
handicap aid installation; ten year liens will be recorded in exchange for participation in the Program.
Funding at this time is program income and separation funds received from the County of Riverside when
the City became an Entitlement City. These funds will be used until completely expended.
Program Income:
The Program Income for FY 2006/07 is estimated at $100,000, which will be expended on the
HIP activities. The repayment of loans has slowed since the interest has risen, which should allow the
expenditure of program income and funds received through the Separation Agreement with the County.
Separation Agreement Funds and Prior Year HIP Funds:
The City of Palm Desert entered into a Separation Agreement dated June 30, 2003, with the
County of Riverside for the remaining City CDBG Funds in the amount of $96,093.20. Once Program
Income and loan repayments are expended the, City will work to expend the funds provided through the
Agreement. Again, with the increase in mortgage interest rates loans are not being repaid as fast as in

Fourth Program Year Action Plan 13 Version 1.3
Jurisdiction
• Implement programs and services that provide financial assistance to maintain affordable
housing and address discriminatory barriers, and undertake projects that address
physical barriers. This process will be Citywide and conducted on a case-by-case basis.

barriers.
ACTIVITIES:
Discrimination Barriers: The City will be working with the Fair Housing Council of
Riverside County to create and implement programs designed to not only educate very
low to low, and moderate-income persons but property owners/managers, lending and
banking institutions, real estate, etc. regarding discrimination and its impact on a
community, discriminatory practices, laws and regulations, etc.

institutes related to housing and lending, promotion of Fair Housing Laws; broaden the
understanding of diversity of cultures in communities; encourage property owners,
managers, and agents to provide written information to all applicants that includes
detailed information; continue to develop, expand, and provide education and outreach to

promote homeownership; strengthen working dialogue with local lending institutions; and
train City staff dealing with housing issues in the various fair housing laws as the apply to
building and safety codes, zoning, special use permits, and other housing issues.
Public Opposition as a barrier to affordable housing: Residents usually do not desire to
have low-income housing units within their neighborhoods. The City will work to
advertise and create working relations between the City, developer, and residents to
educate parties of the benefit and need of such housing units. The City's has a Housing
Authority Department that works to educate and promote good working relations with all
residents related to the betterment and improvement of issues related to housing for the
very-low to low to moderate-income.

Specific Homeless Prevention Elements
*Please also refer to the Homeless Needs Table in the Needs.xls workbook.
Sources of Funds—Identify the private and public resources that the jurisdiction expects
to receive during the next year to address homeless needs and to prevent
homelessness. These include the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act programs,
other special federal, state and local and private funds targeted to homeless individuals
and families with children, especially the chronically homeless, the HUD formula
programs, and any publicly-owned land or property. Please describe, briefly, the
jurisdiction's plan for the investment and use of funds directed toward homelessness.
2. Homelessness—In a narrative, describe how the action plan will address the specific
objectives of the Strategic Plan and, ultimately, the priority needs identified. Please also
identify potential obstacles to completing these action steps.
3. Chronic homelessness—The jurisdiction must describe the specific planned action steps
it will take over the next year aimed at eliminating chronic homelessness by 2012.
Again, please identify barriers to achieving this.
4. Homelessness Prevention—The jurisdiction must describe its planned action steps over
the next year to address the individual and families with children at imminent risk of
becoming homeless.
Discharge Coordination Policy—Explain planned activities to implement a cohesive,
community-wide Discharge Coordination Policy, and how, in the coming year, the
community will move toward such a policy.
Action Plan Special Needs response:
No. 1& 2. The City is aware of the need to provide for homeless services and does participate in
various homeless programs including the County's Continuum of Care Program as well as programs of
various non-profit organizations (e.g., Nightengale Manor and Martha's Village and Kitchen). It is
Fourth Program Year Action Plan 15 Version 1.3
Jurisdiction
understood that as the Coachella Valley and Palm Desert continue to grow so will the need to address
homeless issues. As a result, the City assists in the "Continuum of Care" System, which refers to the
system of providing a seamless delivery of facilities and services for homeless persons at each step of
the transition from living on the street, to permanent and sustained, independent living. The continuum
consists of four components:
A. Outreach and assessment;
B. Emergency shelters with appropriate supportive services;
C. Transitional housing with appropriate supportive services; and
D. Permanent, affordable housing.
The Continuum of Care System addresses both the crisis of poverty and prolonged homeless
problems, which have been recognized at the Federal level. Cities and counties have developed a
coherent public policy that reflects the multi-faceted problems of homelessness as a result the
"Continuum of Care System" was developed to address these issues at a local level, with the involvement
of various agencies and institutions.
The City of Palm Desert is committed to the systematic approach of addressing homelessness
through its funding of programs and projects addressing this issue as well as housing assistance for the
low income. However, the solution including the provision of services must have a broader base for
response throughout all local communities and the County, which includes local government, citizens,
businesses, non profit organizations, health care providers, etc. Through the County's plan, which
includes the joint partnership or cooperation of local cities, non-profit organizations, businesses, health
providers, etc. the homeless situation is being addressed. The cooperation among providers assists in
filling in where one agency may not be able to assist and provides for better, more extensive intervention
and outreach services for those in need. It also provides more in depth assessment, access, services,
and information sharing among agencies and to the individual agency.
The City will continue to allocate CDBG funds to public service providers that provide emergency
shelter and other services to the homeless or those at-risk of becoming homeless. The City will allocate
$88,020 to non-profit organizations that provide services to homeless and/or those that provide services
to the homeless as well as those the are suffering from diseases that contribute to homelesses. The City
has also contributed its share of FY 2006/07 Pro-Rata Need funds in the amount of $44,704 to the
County of Riverside's Continuum of Care Program. These funds will assist in the continued operation
and support of needed services and facilities. The City has determined that combining its funding
resources with the County and working collaboratively with the County and other agencies many
barriers/obstacles are being addressed as well as reducing institutional barriers and focusing on its plan
to end homelessness by the year 2012. The City is an active partner with the County of Riverside
Department of Mental Health in its efforts to create the Ten Year Strategic Plan to Eliminate
Homelessness.
The City will continue to assess its homeless population and work with agencies providing
emergency and transitional services and shelters for its homeless population. The City will continue to
advocate the non-profit and County Programs and resources that assist the homeless groups.
Many of the obstacles facing homeless are those

Project Description: Home Improvement Program (HIP). Funds will provide to very low and
low income households who are owner occupied. There are four components of HIP: (1) Emergency
Grants up to $3,000; (2) Rehabilitation Grants up to $12,500; (3) Matching funds up to $2,500; (4) Low
interest loans up to $25,000. All four components of the HIP are available for home repairs including, but
not limited to, Health and Safety Code issues, energy efficiency repairs/replacement/retrofitting, including
windows, doors, air conditioning and heating, roof, termite treatment, electrical, exterior paint, and
handicap aid installation; ten year liens will be recorded in exchange for participation in the Program.
Funding at this time is program income and separation funds received from the County of Riverside when
the City became an Entitlement City. These funds will be used until completely expended.
Program Income:
The Program Income for FY 2006/07 is estimated at $100,000, which will be expended on the
HIP activities. The repayment of loans has slowed since the interest has risen, which should allow the
expenditure of program income and funds received through the Separation Agreement with the County.
Separation Agreement Funds and Prior Year HIP Funds:
The City of Palm Desert entered into a Separation Agreement dated June 30, 2003, with the
County of Riverside for the remaining City CDBG Funds in the amount of $96,093.20. Once Program
Income and loan repayments are expended the, City will work to expend the funds provided through the
Agreement. Again, with the increase in mortgage interest rates loans are not being repaid as fast as in
past years. Given this change, the City anticipates that it will be start expending Program Income as well
these funds as soon as possible.

Other Special Needs: This need addresses elderly and frail elderly person with disabilities
(including persons with HIV/AIDS), youth, and other groups with needs for services such as
medical needs, assistance programs, and housing.
Needs for the low-income elderly are more specific to care services and housing due to
increasing longevity, high cost of long-term care and housing. As the elderly continue to live longer,
accommodation must be made to address their need for various types of services, which will allow elderly
persons to live independently or in a supportive environment.

Continuing appropriations are amounts which have been appropriated in FY 2005-06 and are not expected to be expended by
June 30, 2006. These funds are primarily for capital budgets and specific programs that overlap fiscal years. When
authorized,
continuing appropriation amounts are added to the new fiscal year budget amounts in order to track all approved spending.
The exact amount of appropriations for carryover in each fund indicated will be determined at the end of the fiscal year during
the
preparation of financial statements. This amount will include: 1) purchase orders and contracts encumbered totals and
2) unencumbered balances as of June 30, 2006 for appropriations approved by the City Council through the last meeting in
June. 2006.
