Plan Amendment 1 to HUD for the HUD Program Year 2017 prior to the August 16,
2017 deadline, but after a public hearing is held by the Community Development

BACKGROUND
The City is required to submit an Annual Action Plan to the United States Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) program. Federal regulations require each year a city must prepare and file an
Annual Plan prior to receipt of its CDBG entitlement. The FY 2018 Annual Action Plan
provides for year three of the five-year Consolidated Plan. The FY 2016-2020
Consolidated Plan was adopted by City Council in July 2015.
City Council approved the Fiscal Year 2018 Annual Action Plan on March 7t", 2017 by
resolution 54-17. The approved plan allocates $1 ,485,739 to Housing, Neighborhood
and Community Development, and Administration activities. When funding or activities
change, the City must amend the plan following a public comment period and public
hearing.
DISCUSSION
The attached FY 2018 Annual Action Plan Amendment 1 provides $2,867,402 for
eligible CDBG activities. The amendment combines the FY 2017 unexpended funds
and allocates new funds for use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
funded activities. The plan allocates $159,588 in funds committed to projects in FY
2017, $1 ,177,851 in carryover funds, and allocates $44,224 to support lead water line
and sewer repair and replacement for income eligible homeowners in the Bee Branch
Healthy Homes eligibility area.
A 15 day public comment period is required prior to submission of the Annual Plan to
HUD. Notice of the public comment period was posted in the Telegraph Herald on
August 1, 2017. The Community Development Advisory Commission will hold a public
hearing on August 15, 2017 to receive comments on the plan. Comments received will
be forwarded to City Council and HUD. Due to the timing of the submission, a
resolution is attached authorizing submission of the plan to HUD after the public hearing
is held.
COMMISSION ACTION
The Community Development Advisory Commission (CDAC) held a series of public
meetings to review the FY 2018 Annual Action Plan. Development of the plan
coincides with the preparation of the FY 2018 City budget. The CDAC received the plan
for review at the November, 22, 2016 meeting and held a public hearing on January 24,
2017 following a 30-day comment period. The CDAC recommended the FY 2018
CDBG Annual Action Plan be forwarded City Council for consideration and inclusion in
the FY 2018 City Budget.
The CDAC will hold an additional public hearing to receive comments on the proposed
amendment to FY18 Annual Action Plan August 15, 2017 as required by HUD.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
I recommend the City Council approve the attached resolution authorizing the
submission of the FY18 Annual Action Plan Amendment 1 after the required public
hearing.
