I. RECOMMENDATION:
By Minute Motion:
(1) Approve Outside Agency Funding Committee's FY 2007/2008 recommendations
as proposed
(2) Approve FY 2007/08 One-Year Action Plan
(3) Approve Five-Year Consolidated Plan
(4) Authorize the City Manager to sign One-Year Action Plan Certification
(5) Authorize staff to submit the Action Plan to the U.S. Department of Housing and

II. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Outside Agency Funding Committee met on Friday, March 30, 2007, to review the
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) applications for FY 2007/2008. The
table below reflects the funding recommendations of the Committee for this grant cycle.
The City received notice from HUD that its FY 2007/08 funding allocation would be
$356,138, which is $845 less than allocated in FY 2006/07. The recommendations of
the Committee as well as other required information has been implemented into the
One-Year Action Plan. Once City Council has approved the Action Plan, staff will
submit it to HUD for its 45-day review and approval process.
Over the past year, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has been
implementing changes and providing training to jurisdictions on the new Performance
Measurement System. This system is the foundation for funding, tracki�g, monitoring,
etc. that the City and funded providers will have to adhere to. As part of this new
system, all jurisdictions are required to submit new Three or Five-Year Consolidated
Plans by FY 2007/08. The City's new Consolidated Plan has been updated and
includes the FY 2007/08 One-Year Action Plan and funding recommendations of the
City. Many of the aspects (needs, gaps, services, etc.) associated with the City's
Consolidated P1an have remained the same; however, the Plan does include updated
information related to changes such as population, homelessness, housing needs, etc.

The Committee based its funding recommendation on organizations with programs that
provide the most benefit to the Palm Desert Community, identified needs within the
community (e.g., homelessness and food), previous funding history, type of program
and target recipients, new programs, 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.
It should be noted that the Committee realizes that all of the organizations and the
proposed projects/programs provide some type of 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 in the One-
Year Action Plan and submitted to HUD upon approval. HUD has also implemented
many changes related to the CDBG Program, as such all entitlement communities are
required to submit new Five-Year Consolidated Plans starting with FY 2007/08;
therefore, the City's new Consolidated Plan is being submitted for review and approval
for the period of FY 2007/2008 through FY 2011/2012. Included in the Consolidated
Plan is the City's One-Year Action Plan for FY 2007/08. Staff recommends approval of
the Outside Agency's recommendations pertaining to award of funds, the Consolidated
Plan, and the Action Plan as submitted.
