INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to request the City Council's approval of the attached
resolution approving an amendment to Fiscal Year 2009 Annual Action Plan for the City's
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. This amendment is needed to
reflect the reduction in the CDBG entitlement allocation for FY 2009.
DISCUSSION
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regulations require that
each year a city must prepare and file an Annual Plan prior to receipt of its CDBG
entitlement. The Annual Plan is adopted following a public participation process that
includes a published notice, a public comment period, and a public hearing. A city must
follow its adopted plan as it expends entitlement funds. If its revenues or activities
change, the city must amend.
The City Council approved a FY 2009 Annual Action Plan on March 13, 2008 as part the
City budget. Based on a final HUD allocation of $1,209,501, a $2,635 reduction resulted.
In addition, the CDBG $60,000 match for the Lead Based Paint Hazard Control grant must
be incorporated in the budget. The attached FY 2009 Annual Action Plan amendment
reflects the proposed changes to the Plan as follows:
- Decrease First Time Homebuyer Program by $5,000 ($70,000)
- Decrease Homeowner Rehab Program by $20,378 ($244,622)
- Increase funding for the Lead Paint Hazard Abatement Project by $58,468 ($60,000)
- Decrease Rental Unit Rehabilitation by $10,000 ($35,000)
- Decrease Economic Development Financial Assistance by $20,378 ($24,286)
- Decrease Neighborhood Support Grants by $5,347 ($19,653)
The Citizen Participation Plan defines these program changes as a substantial
amendment. Therefore, the required 30-day comment period was held, commencing with
the publication of a notice in the Dubuque Advertiser on February 20th, the Telegraph
Herald on February 21St and on the City website.
The Community Development Advisory Commission held a public hearing on March 26,
2008. No one from the public spoke in regard to the proposed amendment. The
Commission reviewed and discussed the funding based on the required HUD limitations,
voted to approve the attached amendment and recommended City Council approval.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the City Council approve the above-described Amendment 1 to the FY
2009 (Program Year 2008) Annual Action Plan for the use of CDBG funds.
ACTION STEP
The Action Step is for the City Council to adopt the attached resolution.
