CDBG Annual 2010 Action Plant Amendment #1TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
SUBJECT: CDBG FY 2010 Annual Action Plan Amendment 1
DATE: July 15, 2009
Housing and Community Development Department Director David Harris is
recommending approval of an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2010 Annual Action Plan
for the City's Community Development Block Grant Program. This amendment is
needed to reflect the increase in the CDBG entitlement allocation for Fiscal Year 2010
in the amount of $26,833 and has already been approved by the City of Dubuque
Community Development Block Grant Commission after a July 8, 2009 public hearing.
The following changes are being proposed:
• Fund Historic Preservation Rehab Grant ($19,467)
• Decrease Leadership Training by $2,000 (0)
• Increase Neighborhood Support Grants by $4,000 ($24,000)
• Increase City Planning by $5,366 ($49,178)
The proposed amendment would also revise the Lead Paint Hazard Abatement Project,
which is allocated $60,000 for Fiscal Year 2010, by increasing the available forgivable
loans from $6,000 per residential unit to $12,000 due to the increased costs of lead
abatement. This will provide additional assistance for residential property owners to
eliminate lead hazards and encourage historical improvements. The Council approved
this change at their July 6th meeting.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to request the City Council's approval of the attached
resolution approving an amendment to Fiscal Year 2010 Annual Action Plan for the City's
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. This amendment is needed to
reflect the increase in the CDBG entitlement allocation for FY 2010.
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 2010 Annual Action Plan for CDBG funds on March 9,
2009 as part the City budget. Subsequently we were notified by the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that the allocation for FY 2010 was $1,236,260.
This is a $26,833 increase in anticipated funding over the previously approved FY 2010
Annual Action Plan.
The following changes are being proposed:
- Fund Historic Preservation Rehab Grant ($19,467)
- Decrease Leadership Training by $2000 (0)
- Increase Neighborhood Support Grants by $4,000 ($24,000)
- Increase City Planning by $5,366 ($49,178)
The proposed amendment would also revise the Lead Paint Hazard Abatement Project,
which is allocated $60,000 for FY 2010, by increasing the available forgivable loans from
$6000 per residential unit to $12,000 due to the increased costs of lead abatement. This
will provide additional assistance for residential property owners to eliminate lead hazards
and encourage historical improvements. The Council approved this change at their July gtn
meeting.
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 Telegraph Herald on June 3rd and on the City website.
The Community Development Advisory Commission held a public hearing on July 8, 2009.
No one from the public spoke in regard to the proposed amendment. The Commission
reviewed and discussed the funding changes, voted to approve the attached amendment
and recommended City Council approval.

2010 (Program Year 2009) Annual Action Plan for the use of CDBG funds.
